Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electronic medical record technology, specifically to a self-service medical record printing system. Background Technology

[0002] Medical records are essential documents that document each patient's medical information. They typically include: a cover sheet, progress notes, examination and test results, doctor's orders, surgical records, nursing records, etc. Each patient usually needs to print out their own medical record upon discharge, which is then given to medical staff for filing.

[0003] However, when multiple patients are discharged, each patient has multiple types of items that need to be printed separately, requiring multiple trips and making it impossible to print them all at once. This results in inconsistent and chaotic printing orders, which is inconvenient for patients and requires both patients and medical staff to reorganize and file the documents. The process is very cumbersome, and sometimes printing for multiple patients can even cause congestion. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention provides a self-service medical record printing system. By establishing multiple printers and personal identification terminals that operate independently, it allows a large number of users to operate simultaneously, effectively reducing congestion. A central database is also included, enabling each patient to print multiple required items at a single terminal, avoiding the cumbersome process of separate printing and archiving. Furthermore, security measures are implemented to prevent data leakage and ensure data security. In addition, a detection and query unit is added to promptly obtain the usage status of each device, facilitating equipment monitoring and allowing users to access available devices. This system not only enables timely awareness of equipment status for maintenance but also allows patients to accurately locate available devices, further alleviating congestion.

The system includes multiple printers, multiple personal identification terminals (PIDs), multiple document readers, a central processing unit, a main database, a detection module, a query module, an AES encryption module, and a power supply module. By setting up multiple printers and PIDs, a large number of users can use the system simultaneously. Furthermore, any PID can query the current status of other printers and PIDs, find idle devices, and access them, effectively alleviating congestion caused by a large number of users.

[0022] In this embodiment, the central processing unit (CPU) is connected to the database, each printer, the detection module, the query module, and the power supply module to control the system's operation. The CPU is also connected to each personal identification terminal via an AES encryption module to encrypt the transmitted data and prevent the leakage of patient and hospital information.

[0023] In this embodiment, the detection module is connected to the main database, each printer, and each identification terminal to detect and record the current status of each printer and identification terminal, i.e., whether they are currently in use, and transmits the results to the main database for storage. The query module is connected to the main database and each personal identification terminal to query the current status of each printer and identification terminal, allowing each user to find other available printers and personal identification terminals through any personal identification terminal, avoiding congestion of a large number of users in the same place.

[0024] In this embodiment, each personal identification terminal includes an input unit, a transmission unit, a display unit, a processing unit, and a power management unit.

Each sub-database is connected to the main database to summarize and update medical records and other information.

[0030] In this embodiment, the system also includes a cloud server. Each sub-database is connected to the cloud server, and information is transmitted to the main database by means of the cloud server's fast transmission function.

[0031] In this embodiment, each personal identification terminal can be connected to a corresponding document reader for rapid identity verification. For example, an RFID reader can be used. The RFID reader can quickly identify the ID card and read the user's information. After information confirmation by the information conversion subunit and processing unit, the user can quickly start using the personal identification terminal to print the required medical records.

[0032] In this embodiment, the system also includes a log recording module, which is connected to both the central processing unit (CPU) and the main database. This module records all operations performed by the CPU and the main database, facilitating subsequent inspections and maintenance by relevant personnel.

[0033] In summary, this application effectively reduces congestion by establishing multiple printers and personal identification terminals that operate independently, allowing a large number of users to use them simultaneously. It also establishes a central database, enabling each patient to print multiple items at a single terminal, avoiding the cumbersome process of separate printing and archiving. Furthermore, it incorporates security measures to prevent data leakage and ensure data security. Additionally, it includes detection and query units to promptly obtain the usage status of each device, facilitating equipment monitoring and allowing users to access available devices. This approach not only enables timely awareness of equipment status for maintenance but also allows patients to accurately locate available devices, further alleviating congestion and demonstrating significant progress.
