Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical supplies, and in particular to a novel rolling bedside card for hospitalized patients. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, hospital bedside cards are different cards used to record various information about hospitalized patients. During use, nurses need to locate the required card from the general information section based on the patient's condition and corresponding medical orders, or write the patient's information on the card before placing it in the card slot at the patient's bedside. Furthermore, after a patient is discharged, due to the varying severity of conditions among newly admitted patients, nurses need to collect all the cards from the card slot for sorting or destruction, a cumbersome process that consumes significant paper resources. In addition, issues such as lost cards, misplaced cards, or difficulty retrieving cards from the slot also increase the unnecessary burden on nursing staff. While some wards have electronic display screen bedside cards, these place high demands on the department's electrical system, equipment environment, and technical maintenance, and are prone to problems such as wasted electricity, electrical hazards, and high equipment costs. Moreover, existing hospital bedside cards rarely display information such as the patient's admission time, surgery time, fasting examination results, special medical conditions, and blood type simultaneously. For patients and their caregivers, not knowing their surgery time, examination time, and routine / special matters during hospitalization can increase negative emotions and psychological stress, which is detrimental to the patient's recovery and the caregiver's personal time management and caregiving, and may even indirectly harm the physical and mental health of the patient and their caregivers. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the problems of cumbersome and error-prone bedside card retrieval and excessive paper consumption in existing technologies, and the inability to display the patient's examination time and precautions, this utility model provides a novel rolling bedside card for inpatients. The card includes a panel and a transparent card slot fixed thereon, as well as an information roller and a rolling shaft. The panel surface has an information display slot; the rolling shaft is horizontally fixed inside the panel; the information roller has an axially formed inner hole that fits onto the rolling shaft, with a portion of the information roller located outside the information display slot, and an information sticker affixed to the outer rim of the information roller.
[0004] Furthermore, the scroll shaft is provided with fixing blocks at both ends of the information display slot, and the scroll shaft and the fixing blocks are fixed together by a slot structure.
[0005] Furthermore, the outer ring of the information roller has a regular polyhedral structure with n faces along the circumferential direction.
[0006] Furthermore, the surface of the rolling shaft is provided with raised fine magnetic strips along the axial direction, and the fine magnetic strips face the outside of the information display slot; n raised iron blocks are evenly distributed along the circumference on the mid-section of the inner wall of the information roller;
[0007] There is a gap between the information roller and the rolling shaft. Each information roller has a positioning ring nested on both sides to support and limit the axial displacement of the information roller. The positioning ring passes through the rolling shaft, and the inner wall of the positioning ring has a groove that engages with the fine magnetic strip. The two positioning rings abut against both sides of the iron block.
[0008] The thickness of the positioning ring is the distance between the information roller and the rolling shaft, and the thickness of the positioning ring is greater than the sum of the thicknesses of the iron block and the thin magnetic strip; the axial length of the positioning ring is d, and the distance between one side of the iron block and the end face of the information roller on the same side is L, where d > 2L.
[0009] Furthermore, the outer ring of the information roller has a circular structure along the circumference.
[0010] Furthermore, a flat box is provided inside one side of the panel for each of the information rollers. The flat box has a storage part for accommodating excessively long information wrapping tape. The information wrapping tape passes through both sides of the flat box and wraps around the surface of the information roller, and the information wrapping tape is in a tightened state.
[0011] Furthermore, the storage section is provided with several fixed shafts.
[0012] Furthermore, the information wrapping tape is arranged in an "S" shape and sequentially wound around several of the fixed shafts.
[0013] Furthermore, a rolling sleeve is fitted onto the fixed shaft.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] By incorporating a built-in scroll wheel and information roller on the bedside cards, some paper information card slots can be replaced. This allows for scrolling selection of fixed options such as bed number, admission and surgery dates, and patient blood type, eliminating the need for handwriting or searching for cards. This reduces the workload of medical staff by simplifying storage and retrieval, while also saving paper and contributing to environmental protection. Furthermore, the multi-area display of patient information provides a more flexible and comprehensive view, including nursing care level, dietary needs, examination and surgery times, and other relevant special matters. This not only helps nursing staff fully understand the patient's condition but also helps patients and their families stay informed during their hospital stay, alleviating negative emotions and improving patient and caregiver satisfaction.

Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion.
[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a novel rolling bedside card for hospitalized patients includes a panel 1 and a transparent card slot 2 fixed thereon. The card is characterized by further including an information roller 3 and a rolling shaft 5. The panel 1 has an information display slot on its surface; the rolling shaft 5 is horizontally fixed inside the panel 1; the information roller 3 has an inner hole along its axial direction, which is fitted onto the rolling shaft 5. A portion of the information roller 3 is located outside the information display slot, and an information sticker 9 is affixed to the outer circumference of the information roller 3.
[0030] In one implementation, the scrolling shaft 5 has fixing blocks 7 at both ends, which are fixed to the two ends of the information display slot. The scrolling shaft 5 and the fixing blocks 7 are fixed together by a slot structure. Figure 4 As shown, the cross-sectional size of both ends of the rolling shaft 5 is larger than the cross-sectional size of the rolling shaft body. The fixing block 7 engages with both ends of the rolling shaft 5. The two ends of the rolling shaft 5 are provided with slots, and the fixing block 7 is provided with matching protrusions to fix the rolling shaft 5.
[0031] In this embodiment, three transparent card slots 2 are provided for placing handwritten or printed patient information and the names of their corresponding attending physician and responsible nurse to display non-standard information, which can be changed according to the patient's actual situation. Generally, to facilitate the insertion or removal of cards, the opening of the transparent card slot 2 is provided with an arc-shaped notch.
[0032] Generally, the headboard back panel has hook holes and / or double-sided strong adhesive, which can be placed on the upper wall of the headboard or the strong adhesive can be peeled off and attached to the fixed wall according to actual needs.
[0033] For general information sections for inpatients (such as admission date, surgery date, blood type, etc.), an information roller 3 with information stickers 9 is used. Information can be changed directly by scrolling the information roller 3, allowing medical staff to quickly update patients' personal information. This system can be reused for different patients, reducing the tediousness of traditional handwritten or printed cards and paper waste. The content of the information stickers 9 can be determined according to hospital requirements.
[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, in a preferred implementation, the outer ring of the information scroll wheel 3 is a regular polygon with n faces along its circumference. The number of sides of the regular polygon on the outer ring of the information scroll wheel 3 is determined according to the number of options for displaying information. For the information scroll wheel 3 involving the display of numerical information, its outer ring is a regular decagon to display the numbers "0-9"; for the information scroll wheel 3 involving the patient's blood type, its outer ring is a regular pentagon to display the blood type "A, B, AB, O, Special".
[0035] In order to achieve relative fixation of the information roller 3 relative to the rolling shaft 5, that is, the information display surface of the information roller 3 will not change when it is rotated without external force, the magnetic attraction principle is used in this embodiment.
[0036] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the surface of the scrolling shaft 5 is provided with raised fine magnetic strips 6 along the axial direction, with the fine magnetic strips 6 facing outwards from the information display slot; n raised iron blocks 4 are evenly distributed circumferentially on the mid-section of the inner wall of the information roller 3. The n iron blocks 4 on the inner wall of the information roller 3 correspond to the n information stickers 9 on the surface of the information roller 3, so that when the information to be displayed is rotated to the information display slot, the corresponding iron block 4 is attracted by the fine magnetic strips 6, thereby fixing the information roller 3.
[0037] There is a gap between the information roller 3 and the rolling shaft 5, and positioning rings 8 are nested on both sides of each information roller 3 to support and limit the axial displacement of the information roller 3.
[0038] The positioning ring 8 passes through the rolling shaft 5, and the inner wall of the positioning ring 8 has a groove that engages with the thin magnetic strip 6, thereby fixing the positioning ring 8 and the rolling shaft 5 circumferentially. The two positioning rings 8 abut against the two sides of the iron block 4 respectively. By nesting the positioning rings 8 against the edge of the iron block 4 inside the information roller 3, the axial displacement of the information roller 3 on the rolling shaft can be restricted.
[0039] Because the rolling shaft 5 has a protruding thin magnetic strip 6, the positioning ring 8 also serves to support the information roller 3 in order to achieve concentric rotation of the information roller 3 and the rolling shaft 5. The thickness of the positioning ring 8 is the distance between the information roller 3 and the rolling shaft 5, and the thickness of the positioning ring 8 is greater than the sum of the thicknesses of the iron block 4 and the thin magnetic strip 6.
[0040] like Figure 7 As shown, the length of the positioning ring 8 along the axial direction is d, and the distance between one side of the iron block 4 and the end face of the information roller 3 on the same side is L. To ensure that one positioning ring 8 can be nested between two adjacent information rollers at the same time, d > 2L.
[0041] When the displayed information is not a simple combination of numbers or text, and there is a lot of content to display, the cross-section of the information scroll wheel 3 is circular, such as... Figure 7 As shown.
[0042] Because the size of a single information scroll wheel 3 is limited, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, a single information roller 3 has a flat box 10 (trapezoidal flat box in this embodiment) located inside one side of the panel 1. The flat box 10 has a storage part for accommodating excessively long information wrapping tape 11. The information wrapping tape 11 passes through both sides of the flat box 10 and wraps around the surface of the information roller 3, with the information wrapping tape 11 in a tightened state. The information wrapping tape 11 moves in and out of the trapezoidal flat box 10 by moving the information roller 3. At the same time, since the information wrapping tape 11 wrapped around the surface of the information roller 3 and inside the flat box 10 is continuous and tightly wound, the information roller 3 remains relatively fixed relative to the rolling axis after being moved.
[0043] In one preferred embodiment, the storage section is provided with several fixed shafts 12 for storing excessively long information wrapping tapes 11.
[0044] The information wrapping tape 11 can wrap around the fixed axis 12 in various forms, for example, such as Figure 10 As shown, the information wrapping tape 11 is arranged in an "S" shape and sequentially wound around several fixed shafts 12.
[0045] To facilitate smoother transmission of the information winding tape 11 within the trapezoidal box, a rolling sleeve 13 is fitted onto the fixed shaft 12.
[0046] In this embodiment, considering the potential complexity of the patient's condition, such as drug allergies, special examinations, special record-keeping needs, and infectious disease prevention and control, etc., Figure 1 As shown, the lower area of the bedside card displays information such as nursing level, dietary types, special matters, and risk warnings. The information scroll wheel 3 in the lower area of the bedside card can be rotated promptly according to changes in the patient's condition and medical orders.
[0047] The corresponding nursing care levels, dietary types, special considerations, and risk warning areas will be set uniformly based on the general situation of the hospital. In addition, if the patient's condition is simple or unknown, the information scroll wheel 3 in the corresponding area can also be set to "None" to indicate that no other precautions or information for the patient are available in that area.
[0048] Nursing Level: There is 1 column, which includes: None, Special Care, Level 3 Care, Level 2 Care, and Level 1 Care (5 preset items). This can be adjusted according to the hospital's needs.
[0049] Dietary types: Since there may be situations where fasting and water restriction are required at the same time, or a diabetic diet and a low-salt, low-fat diet are required, there are 2 columns with the same content: None, Normal diet, Fasting, Water restriction, Soft diet, Semi-liquid diet, Liquid diet, Low-salt, low-fat diet, High-protein diet, Low-protein diet, Diabetic diet, Kidney disease diet, Enteral nutrition (13 items preset), which can be adjusted according to the hospital's needs.
[0050] Special Items: Due to the possibility of multiple special items occurring simultaneously, and the possibility that patients may have multiple allergy histories and special treatment needs, a total of 4 columns are set up. The contents of the 4 columns are the same, namely: None, Penicillin allergy, Cephalosporin allergy, Sulfonamide allergy, Activity restriction, Absolute bed rest, Control of drip rate, Intake and output recording, Knowledge education, High body temperature, Fasting examination tomorrow, Specialized nursing (specifically set: Nebulized inhalation, Vibration sputum clearance, Wound pressure, Replacement of drainage tube, Central venous therapy, etc.), which can be adjusted according to the needs of the hospital.
[0051] Risk Warning: Because the same patient may be at risk of multiple risks at the same time, this item has 5 columns, all of which have the same content: None, fall prevention, bed fall prevention, pressure ulcer prevention, tube slippage prevention, fluid extravasation prevention, lower extremity thrombosis prevention, infection prevention, aspiration prevention, wandering prevention, respiratory isolation, contact isolation, digestive tract isolation, blood and body fluid isolation, and protective isolation. These can also be adjusted according to the needs of the hospital.
[0052] In addition, the text content, background color, font color, and image logo of the information wrapping band 11 can be changed according to the requirements of different hospitals and departments.
[0053] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of implementation of this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of this utility model, and all such improvements and modifications should be covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
