Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a planning support device, a planning support method, and a planning support program. [Background technology]

[0002] A wide range of nursing care insurance services are provided under the nursing care insurance system. Nursing care remuneration for each nursing care insurance service is composed of a basic remuneration and additions or deductions to this, and detailed requirements for additions and deductions are stipulated, making it a complex system.

[0003] For this reason, even care providers who provide nursing care insurance services have not been able to easily recognize what additional payments they are eligible to receive for the nursing care insurance services they provide, or what the requirements are for receiving those additional payments.

[0004] Therefore, a device for providing information regarding such addition has been proposed (see Patent Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Patent Publication No. 2023-35810 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] However, it did not provide any useful information from the management perspective of continuing and planning the future of nursing care services.

[0007] The present invention aims to provide a technique capable of supporting the creation of management plans for businesses that provide nursing care services. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] To solve the above problems, the present invention provides: A planning support device that supports planning of a business for providing nursing care services, A basic information acquisition unit that acquires basic information that is the basis of operation status information indicating the operation status of the business; an operation status information generating unit that generates the operation status information at a predetermined time, the operation status information being predicted based on the basic information; A change setting receiving unit that receives settings of the content and timing of changes to the business; Equipped with The operational state information generated by the operational state information generating unit includes the operational state information predicted based on the content and the time period accepted by the change setting accepting unit.

[0009] This makes it possible to recognize how the operational status of a business providing nursing care services will change when changes are made to the business by using the operational status information, and to accurately evaluate the impact of the change on the business, thereby assisting in the development of management plans for businesses providing nursing care services.

[0010] In the present invention, The change content, which is the content of the change to the business, may be set for each additional item added to the nursing care fee.

[0011] This allows the impact of the acquisition of additional fees on nursing care fees on the business to be recognized for each additional fee item. Therefore, the impact of the acquisition of additional fees on the business can be accurately evaluated, which can support the creation of management plans for businesses that provide nursing care services.

[0012] In the present invention, The system may also be provided with a necessary change content generation unit that generates necessary change content information, which is the change content necessary to satisfy the acquisition requirements for acquiring the additional remuneration corresponding to the additional item, for the additional item based on the basic information.

[0013] This makes it possible to clearly identify what changes are needed based on the current state of the business in order to obtain the additional remuneration, and provides information for considering whether or not to obtain the additional remuneration from a business management perspective.

[0014] In the present invention, The system may further include an addition-related information generating unit that generates information related to the addition item for the addition item. In the present invention, The system may further include an additional remuneration prediction unit that predicts the amount of additional remuneration at a predetermined time when additional remuneration corresponding to the additional item is acquired based on the basic information.

[0015] According to this, when additional remuneration is acquired, the amount of the remuneration can be predicted and provided, thereby providing useful information for drawing up business management plans.

[0016] Also in the present invention. The system may further include a supplemental information receiving section that receives input of information necessary for predicting the additional remuneration amount.

[0017] This increases the amount of information on which predictions are based, making it possible to make more accurate predictions.

[0018] In the present invention, Based on the basic information, for a plurality of the additional items, Necessary change information, which is the change necessary to satisfy the acquisition requirements for acquiring the additional remuneration corresponding to each of the additional items; Information relating to each of the above items; The total amount of the additional remuneration at a specified time when the additional remuneration corresponding to the additional item is obtained, The information processing apparatus may further include a summary information generating unit that generates summary information including at least one of the above.

[0019] This allows, when considering the possibility of acquiring multiple additional remuneration, to be provided not only with information on individual additional items, but also with comprehensive information covering multiple additional items, thereby providing useful information for formulating business management plans.

[0020] Also, The summary information is: A classification total amount is the total amount of the additional remuneration amount for the specified period for each of the additional items classified according to the criteria for classifying the additional items; It may also include at least one of the additional remuneration amount at the specified time for each of the additional items belonging to each of the classifications.

[0021] In this way, by setting appropriate standards rather than simply looking at the amount of additional remuneration, it is possible to provide information for evaluating the impact on the business from various perspectives, such as the quality of nursing care services provided.

[0022] The present invention also provides a method for producing a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device comprising the steps of: A planning support method for supporting planning of a business for providing nursing care services, comprising: acquiring basic information that is the basis of operational status information indicating the operational status of the business; generating the operational status information at a predetermined time, the operational status information being predicted based on the basic information; accepting settings for the content and timing of changes to the business; Including, The operation status information includes the operation status information predicted based on the received content and the time.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0026] <Example 1> Hereinafter, a profit simulation system 10 using additional calculation according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Hereinafter, the "profit simulation using additional calculation" will be simply referred to as profit simulation.

[0027] (Overall structure of revenue simulation) FIG. 1 shows a schematic configuration diagram of a profit simulation system 10. As shown in FIG. 1, the profit simulation system 10 includes a user terminal 100 and an information processing device 200. The user terminal 100 and the information processing device 200 are connected by a network configured to enable communication in an appropriate manner.

[0028] (User terminal) The user terminal 100 is a terminal used by a user such as a manager or administrator of a nursing care business that provides nursing care insurance services. The user terminal 100 is an information processing device such as a PC (personal computer) or a smartphone.

[0029] 2, the user terminal 100 has a processor 101 such as a CPU or DSP, a main memory unit 102 such as a read-only memory (ROM) or random access memory (RAM), an auxiliary memory unit 103 such as an EPROM, a hard disk drive (HDD) or removable media, an operation unit 104 such as a keyboard, a mouse or a touch panel that accepts operations from the user, a display unit 105 such as a display, and a communication unit 106 for communicating with the information processing device 200 and other devices. Removable media can be, for example, a flash memory such as a USB memory or an SD card, or a CD-ROM, a DVD disk, or a Blu-ray disk. The auxiliary storage unit 103 stores an operating system (OS), various programs, various tables, etc., and the programs stored therein are loaded into a working area of ​​the main storage unit 102 and executed, and each component unit, etc. are controlled 102 through the execution of the programs, thereby realizing each functional unit that serves a predetermined purpose, as described below.

[0030] (Information processing device) The information processing device 200 is a computer such as a server, and may be configured as a single computer or may be configured as multiple computers that cooperate with each other.

[0031] As shown in FIG. 3, the information processing device 200 includes a processor 201 such as a CPU or DSP, a main memory unit 202 such as a read-only memory (ROM) or a random access memory (RAM), an auxiliary memory unit 203 such as an EPROM, a hard disk drive (HDD), or a removable medium, an operation unit 204 such as a keyboard, a mouse, or a touch panel that accepts operations from a system administrator, a display unit 205 such as a display, and a communication unit 206 for communicating with the user terminal 100 and other devices.

The auxiliary memory unit 203 stores an operating system (OS), various programs, various tables, etc., and the programs stored therein are loaded into the working area of ​​the main memory unit 202 and executed, and each component unit is controlled through the execution of the programs, thereby realizing each functional unit that serves a predetermined purpose, as described later.

[0032] Although not shown in Fig. 1, the profit simulation system 10 may include an external server. The external server is a server operated by an administrative agency such as a government or a local government. Such an external server provides a website where various information on each care provider under its jurisdiction can be viewed, and functions as an external database that stores information on each care provider.

[0033] (Functions of information processing device) Fig. 4 shows a functional block diagram of the information processing device 200. Each function shown in Fig. 4 is realized by executing profit simulation software stored in the auxiliary storage unit 203 by the processor 201. Here, the information processing device 200 constitutes a planning support device.

[0034] The information processing device 200 includes a basic information acquisition unit 211, an operating status information generation unit 212, a change setting reception unit 213, a necessary change content generation unit 214, an additional charge related information generation unit 215, an additional charge remuneration amount prediction unit 216, a supplementary information reception unit 217, a summary information generation unit 218, a basic information storage unit 219, and a system information storage unit 220. Each function will be explained in accordance with the processing procedure of the profit simulation described later. The basic information storage unit 219 and the system information storage unit 220 can be provided in the auxiliary storage unit 203, but may also be provided in a storage device or computer device linked to the information processing device 200. The system information storage unit 220 stores information on laws, regulations, ordinances, etc. related to the long-term care insurance system, such as the application requirements (acquisition requirements) of the additional charge, and the contents are updated from time to time in accordance with legal amendments, etc.

[0035] (Revenue simulation) 5 and 6 are flowcharts showing the overall processing procedure of the profit simulation. The profit simulation includes an addition calculation simulation and a business activity statement simulation, which will be described later. The profit simulation is executed as a planning support method and a planning support program.

[0036] (Select business location) 7 shows an example of an input screen displayed on the display unit 105 of the user terminal 100 when the user is about to carry out a revenue simulation via the user terminal 100. Before this input screen is displayed, the information processing device 200 accepts input from the user of an ID (identification information) and a password that have been registered in advance in the information processing device 200 (step S101) and collates them to complete authentication that the user is qualified to receive the revenue simulation service. The method of authenticating the user is not limited to this and can be carried out by any appropriate method.

[0037] In the business establishment selection screen 300 shown in FIG. 7, when the nursing care business operated by the user includes multiple business establishments, a list of business establishments is displayed, and laundry at the business establishments that are the subject of the profit simulation is accepted from the user (step S102). At the top of the business establishment selection screen 300, the name of the software 301-1 and the user name 302 are displayed. Under the title field, bars 303 to 308 are arranged, which display menu names such as business establishment selection, business establishment information, user information, business activity statement, simulation addition calculation, and simulation business activity statement. Since the screen shown in FIG. 7 is a business establishment selection screen, the bar 303 for "business establishment selection" is displayed in a different color from the other bars. And, under the bars 303 to 308, a list of business establishments operated by the user is displayed. In the example shown in FIG. 7, a day service center specialized in nursing care prevention A1 that provides nursing care prevention day care, a day service center A2 that provides day care, and an A3 day service center, which are registered as nursing care businesses operated by the social welfare corporation A that is the user, are displayed. Such business names are registered in the basic information storage unit 219 provided in the auxiliary storage unit 203 in association with the users.

[0038] When the user selects the name of the business to be simulated on the business establishment selection screen 300 shown in Figure 7 by clicking the operation unit 104 such as a mouse, the display on the display unit 105 of the user terminal 100 transitions to the business establishment information input screen 400-1 shown in Figure 8.

[0039] (Enter business information) In the establishment information input screen 400-1 shown in FIG. 8 and the establishment information input screen 400-2 shown in FIG. 9, input of business information such as staff allocation at establishments is accepted from the user (step S103). In the establishment information input screen 400-1 shown in FIG. 8, similar to the establishment selection screen 300, the software name 301, the user name 302-1, and the establishment name 302-2 are displayed at the top of the screen. Under the title field, bars 303 to 308 are arranged displaying menu names such as establishment selection, establishment information, user information, business activity statement, simulation addition calculation, and simulation business activity statement. Here, the menu has progressed from establishment selection to establishment information input, so the bar 303 for "establishment selection" and the bar 304 for "establishment information" are displayed in a color different from the other bars. The items displayed on the establishment information input screens 400-1 to 400-2 shown in Fig. 8 and Fig. 9 and the user information input screen 500 shown in Fig. 10, i.e., the items acquired as establishment information and user information, will be described for establishments that provide day care services, but will differ depending on the care service provided by the establishment selected on the establishment selection screen 300. For example, an establishment that provides home care services will require the input of the training attendance status of care staff (those who have completed practical training, those who have completed basic care staff training, etc.). The items displayed on the establishment information input screens 400-1 to 400-2 and the user information input screen 500 and which the user is requested to input are merely examples and are not limited to the items described below.

[0040] In the establishment information input screen 400-1 in FIG. 8, first, a staff allocation number reception section 401 is displayed, which receives input of the number of staff allocations from the user. Here, the number of staff allocations for each of a number of occupations can be input. In FIG. 8, the following occupations are input: care workers, nurses, physical therapists, We accept input of numbers and full-time equivalents for occupational therapists, speech-language-hearing therapists, judo therapists, massage therapists, social workers, mental health and welfare workers, social welfare officers, care managers, registered dietitians, dental hygienists, other life counselors, and other care workers. In addition, for certain occupations, we also accept input of years of service.

[0041] In the establishment information input screen 400-1 shown in FIG. 8, when the user selects any of the job titles 402 by clicking or the like, the right-facing triangle displayed at the beginning of each job title changes to point downward, and an input area 403 for required items is displayed. The establishment information input screen 400-1 shown in FIG. 8 shows a state in which input by the user is received for care workers and nurses. For care workers, input area 403 displays input field 404 for accepting input of years of service for three people and input field 405 for accepting input of full-time equivalent number. The user inputs the numeric values ​​of years of service and full-time equivalent number into input fields 404 and 405 using operation unit 104 such as a keyboard. If there are four or more care workers on staff, input fields for years of service and full-time equivalent number are added by selecting "+" button 406 by clicking or the like. Here, information on the number of care workers is obtained based on the number of items entered, but the number of people may also be entered separately. For nurses, input fields are displayed that accept the input of years of service and full-time equivalents for two people. It is also possible to add input fields, just like for care workers. The items that need to be input depending on the input area vary depending on the occupation, and unlike care workers, there are some occupations that do not require the input of years of service.

[0042] 8, the user inputs the number of staff members employed by the business operator for each job type by selecting each job type. The information on the number of staff members thus input is registered as basic information in the basic information storage unit 219 of the information processing device 200 in association with the business operator, and if the information has already been registered, the registered information is updated.

[0043] FIG. 9 shows a business establishment information input screen 400-1 and a series of business establishment information input screens 400-2. For example, in the business establishment information input screen 400-1 shown in FIG. 8, the screen is displayed on the display unit 105 by dragging the scroll bar 407 using the operation unit 104 such as a mouse to scroll downward.

[0044] The business establishment information input screen 400-2 further displays an open days / month field 408 that accepts input of the number of days the business establishment is open per month. The user inputs the number of days the business establishment is open in an input field 409 using the operation unit 104 such as a keyboard. The business establishment information input screen 400-2 also displays a user capacity / day field 410 that accepts input of the business establishment's user capacity per day. The user similarly inputs the value of the user capacity per day in an input field 411.

[0045] The business establishment information input screen 400-2 displays an environment construction information input field 412 for submitting information by the scientific nursing care information system (LIFE). The scientific nursing care information system (LIFE) is an information system in which the condition of a nursing care service user and the plan and contents of care provided at a nursing care facility or business establishment are input in a certain format, and the input contents are transmitted to the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare via the Internet, where the input contents are analyzed and fed back to the facility or establishment. The environment construction information input field 412 for submitting information by the scientific nursing care information system (LIFE) displays a "Responded" button 413 and an "Not responded" button 414, and the user presses either the "Responded" button 413 or the "Not responded" button 414 by operating the operation unit 104 such as a mouse, depending on whether the business establishment has constructed a system compatible with LIFE.

[0046] The business establishment information input screen 400-2 further displays a calculated surcharge information input field 415. Here, if the business establishment being simulated meets the specified requirements and has already calculated a surcharge, the input of that information is accepted. In the calculated surcharge information input field 415, a check box 416 and multiple pieces of information for identifying the surcharge, such as the name or description of the surcharge, are displayed. The user checks the check box 416 of the surcharge item that has already been calculated by the business establishment being simulated using the operation unit 104 such as a mouse. Here, the check boxes 416 of each item, such as "addition to basic remuneration when there is a certain amount or more decrease in users due to the occurrence of an infectious disease or disaster," "care for daily life before and after the provision of services in the remuneration category of 8 hours or more but less than 9 hours," and "when symbiotic day care is performed," are checked as surcharges that have already been calculated by the business establishment being simulated. The surcharge items displayed in the calculated surcharge information input field 415 are obtained from the system information storage unit 220.

[0047] When the input of required information is completed on the establishment information input screen 400-2 shown in Fig. 9, the input information such as the number of opening days per month, the user capacity per day, whether or not a LIFE environment has been created, and the currently acquired surcharge is registered as basic information in association with the establishment in the basic information storage unit 219 of the auxiliary storage unit 203. When the user presses the "next page" button 417 displayed at the bottom of the establishment information input screen 400-2 by operating the operation unit 104 such as a mouse, the screen transitions to a user information input screen 500 shown in Fig. 10.

[0048] The user information input screen 500 shown in FIG. 10 accepts input of user information related to the user of the establishment that is the subject of the simulation (step S104). On the user information input screen 500, the software name, the user name, and the establishment name are displayed at the top of the screen, similar to the establishment selection screen 300 and the establishment information input screens 400-1 to 400-2. Under the title field, bars 303 to 308 are arranged that display menu names such as establishment selection, establishment information, user information, business activity statement, simulation addition calculation, and simulation business activity statement. Here, the menu has progressed from establishment selection and establishment information input to user information input, so bar 303 for "establishment selection", bar 304 for "establishment information", and bar 305 for "user information" are displayed in a color different from the other bars.

[0049] The user information input screen 500 shown in FIG. 10 accepts input of the number of users of the establishment to be simulated, the number of dementia users, the number of early onset dementia users, and information on the level of care required by the users. In the number of users field 501, an input field 502 for the average number of users per day and an input field 503 for the average number of users per month (or the total number of users for the previous month) are displayed. The user inputs the numerical values ​​of the average number of users per day and the average number of users per month in the input fields 502 and 503 using the operation unit 104 such as a keyboard. In addition, the level of care required information field 504 displays an input field 5056 for the percentages of support required 1 and 2 and levels of care required 1 to 5. The user inputs the proportion of users by level of care required as a percentage in the input field 505 for each level of care required using the operation unit 104 such as a keyboard. In the number of dementia users field 506, an input field 507 for the number of dementia users per month is displayed. Here, a dementia user is defined as a user who is ranked III, IV, or M in the degree of independence in daily life. The user inputs the numerical value of the number of dementia users per month into an input field 507 by using the operation unit 104 such as a keyboard. An input field 509 for the number of early-onset dementia users per month is displayed in an early-onset dementia user number column 508. The user inputs the numerical value of the number of early-onset dementia users per month into the input field 509 by using the operation unit 104 such as a keyboard. The user information input in this way is registered as basic information in the basic information storage unit 219 of the auxiliary storage unit 203 of the information processing device 200 in association with the establishment, and if the information has already been registered, the registered information is updated.

[0050] (Business activity statement input screen) FIG. 11 shows a business activity statement input screen 700-1 that accepts input of the contents of the business activity statement of the previous year. In the profit simulation system 10 according to this embodiment, in addition to the addition calculation simulation, a business activity statement simulation can be performed. The business activity statement input screen 700-1 described here is a screen that accepts input of information required for the business activity statement simulation from the user. In the business activity statement input screen 700-1 shown in FIG. 11, the name of the software and the user name are displayed at the top of the screen. Under the title column, bars displaying menu names such as establishment selection, establishment information, user information, business activity statement, simulation addition calculation, and simulation business activity statement are arranged. Here, the menu has progressed from establishment selection, establishment information, and user information to business activity statement input, so the bar 303 for "establishment selection", the bar 304 for "establishment information", the bar 305 for "user information", and the bar 306 for "business activity statement" are displayed in a color different from the other bars.

[0051] The business activity statement input screen 700-1 accepts input of information on the business activity statement for the previous year. The business activity statement shown in FIG. 11 displays input fields for inputting information on the previous year for each account item (step S105). The account items 702 are broadly divided into a service activity increase / decrease section 703 and a current term end payment fund balance 704, and the service activity increase / decrease section 703 is divided into revenue 705, expenses 706, and service activity increase / decrease difference 707. The revenue 705 includes the following items: nursing care insurance business revenue 705a, ordinary expense donation revenue 705b, other revenue 705c, and total service activity revenue 705d. To the right of the account names of the nursing care insurance business revenue 705a, ordinary expense donation revenue 705b, and other revenue 705c, respective input fields are displayed, and the user inputs the values ​​for the previous year using the operation unit 104 such as a keyboard. The service activity income total 075d is calculated and displayed as the sum of the input values ​​of the nursing insurance business income 705a, etc. If the user wants to add an account item included in the income 705, the user can add and display the account item by pressing the "Add Account Item to Income" button 708 by operating the operation unit 104 such as a mouse, and input the value of the account item in the added input field. The expenses 706 include personnel expenses 706a, business expenses 706b, office expenses 706c, depreciation expenses 706d, and other expenses 706e. To the right of each of the personnel expenses 706a, business expenses 706b, office expenses 706c, depreciation expenses 706d, and other expenses 706e, input fields are displayed, and the user inputs the values ​​for the previous year using the operation unit 104 such as a keyboard. The service activity expense total 706f is calculated and displayed as the sum of the input values ​​of the personnel expenses 706a, etc. Furthermore, if the user wishes to add an account item included in the expenses 706, the user can press the "Add account item to expenses" button 709 by operating the operation unit 104 such as a mouse, thereby adding and displaying the account item and inputting the numerical value of that account item in the added input field.

[0052] When the figures for the previous year of each item included in revenue 705 and expense 706 are entered, the difference between total service activity revenue 705d and total service activity expense 706f is calculated and displayed in the item service activity increase / decrease difference 707.

[0053] Furthermore, the user inputs the figures for the previous year into the input field displayed to the right of the account name of the end-of-term payment fund balance 704 using the operation unit 104 such as a keyboard.

[0054] In this way, when the input of the information for the previous year's business activity statement required for the business activity statement simulation is completed, the input information is stored as basic information in the basic information memory unit 219 provided in the auxiliary memory unit 203.

[0055] At the bottom of the business activity statement input screen 700-1, an "Additional calculation simulation" button 710 is displayed. After completing input of information for the previous year's business activity statement, the user who has completed input of information for the previous year's business activity statement presses the "Additional calculation simulation" button 710 by operating the operation unit 104 such as a mouse to move to the addition calculation simulation. Here, the processor 201, which acquires basic information through the establishment information input screens 400-1 to 400-2, the user information input screen 500, and the business activity statement input screen 700-1, functions as the basic information acquisition unit 211.

[0056] The information on establishments is not limited to that obtained through the establishment selection screen 300, the establishment information input screens 400-1 to 400-2, the user information input screen 500, and the business activity statement input screen 700-1, but may be information obtained separately from the user, or from an external server, etc. In this way, based on the information on establishments held by the information processing device 200 and information including the application requirements (acquisition requirements) for the surcharge, the surcharges that can be acquired by the establishment that is the subject of the simulation can be narrowed down.

[0057] In the flowchart shown in FIG. 5, step S106 is generally described, but based on information acquired through the establishment selection screen 300, establishment information input screens 400-1 to 400-2, and user information input screen 500, and information related to the surcharge application requirements, the information processing device 200 determines whether or not the surcharge can be obtained, calculates information such as personnel shortages due to the surcharge, and prepares for a surcharge calculation simulation. However, such preparations may be made after the user selects the surcharge he or she wishes to consider. The simulation of the scientific care promotion system surcharge (step S107), the service provision system strengthening surcharge (step S108), the nutrition assessment surcharge (step S109), the oral function improvement surcharge (I)(II) surcharge (step S110), and the individual function training simulation shown in FIG. Simulation (Step S111), oral nutrition screening Simulation of the Guidance Addition (I) (II) (Step S112), Simulation of the Collaboration Addition for Improving Life Functions (I) (II) (Step S113), Simulation of the Bathing Assistance Addition (I) (II) The simulations (step S114), (step S115), (step S116), and (step S117) are examples and are not limited to these.

[0058] (Additional calculation simulation) In the following, as an example of the additional calculation simulation, the nutrition assessment additional calculation simulation will be described. When the input of the business activity plan information for the previous year in step S105 of FIG. 5 is completed and the "Additional Calculation Simulation Button" 710 on the business activity statement input screen 700-1 of FIG. 11 is pressed, the screen of the display unit 105 of the user terminal 100 transitions to a summary screen 600-4 (see FIG. 17) described later. Here, based on the information acquired through the establishment selection screen 300, the establishment information input screens 400-1 to 400-2, and the user information input screen 500, the maximum value that can be acquired (the value when the additional calculation that can be calculated every month is calculated and the additional calculation is applied to all users) is displayed as a default. By specifying any one of the calculation simulations of the tabs 602 of various additional calculations displayed on this summary screen 600-4 with the operation unit 104 such as a mouse, an additional calculation simulation for the additional calculation can be executed.

[0059] (Nutrition assessment surcharge calculation simulation) 12 and 13 are flow charts for explaining the processing procedure of the nutrition assessment surcharge calculation simulation. When the user selects the nutrition assessment surcharge calculation simulation from the surcharge calculation simulations as described above, the information processing device 200 determines whether the target establishment is based on the information acquired through the establishment information input screen 400-2, etc. It is determined whether or not the establishment has already obtained the nutrition assessment surcharge (step S201). If it is determined that the establishment has already obtained the nutrition assessment surcharge, a message to that effect is displayed on the display unit 105, and the nutrition assessment surcharge calculation simulation is terminated.

[0060] In step S201, if the information processing device 200 determines that the establishment has not yet acquired the nutrition assessment premium, the information processing device 200 determines whether or not a LIFE environment has been established in the target establishment based on information acquired through the establishment information input screen 400-2, etc. (step S202). If the information processing device 200 determines that a LIFE environment has been established in the target establishment, the information processing device 200 determines whether or not a registered dietitian is present in the target establishment based on information acquired through the establishment information input screen 400-1, etc. (step S203).

[0061] If it is determined in step S203 that the business establishment in question has an employee or a registered dietitian who can collaborate with external parties, the details of the initiatives and unit price required to obtain the nutritional assessment surcharge are displayed on the display unit 105 of the user terminal 100 (step S207), and the process proceeds to steps S213 and S214. Furthermore, if it is determined in step S203 that the business establishment in question does not have a registered dietitian, the details of the efforts and unit price required to obtain the nutritional assessment surcharge are displayed on the display unit 105 of the user terminal 100 (step S205), and the number of personnel that need to be added and their labor costs are displayed (step S206), and the process proceeds to steps S214 and S215.

[0062] FIG. 14 shows a nutrition assessment surcharge calculation simulation screen 600-1 in the case where the establishment of the user who selected the calculation simulation of the nutrition assessment surcharge among the surcharge calculation simulations as described above has constructed a LIFE environment but does not have a registered dietitian. In the nutrition assessment surcharge calculation simulation screen 600-1, the software name and the user name are displayed at the top of the screen, similar to the establishment selection screen 300, etc. Below the title column, bars 303 to 308 are arranged that display menu names such as establishment selection, establishment information, user information, business activity statement, simulation surcharge calculation, and simulation business activity statement. Here, the menu has progressed from user information input to surcharge calculation simulation, so the bar 303 for "establishment selection", the bar 304 for "establishment information", the bar 305 for "user information", the bar 306 for "business activity statement", and the bar 307 for "simulation surcharge calculation" are displayed in a color different from the other bars.

[0063] On the left side of the nutrition assessment surcharge calculation simulation screen 600-1, there are a tab 602 displaying the name of the surcharge to be simulated and a summary tab 601 (described later), and the screen transitions to the surcharge simulation screen when the user selects the desired tab by operating the operation unit 104 such as a mouse. In the screen shown in Fig. 14, the nutrition assessment surcharge tab 602a is selected, so the nutrition assessment surcharge tab 602a is displayed in a color different from the other tabs.

[0064] The nutrition assessment surcharge calculation simulation screen 600-1 mainly displays information titled "Summary of the surcharge," "Occupations that require additional staffing to meet staffing standards," "Simulation of nutrition assessment surcharge," and "Input of simulation values" in divided areas.

[0065] The summary of the surcharge column 603-1 displays information related to the surcharge item, such as an explanation of the summary of each surcharge (in FIG. 14, the nutrition assessment surcharge). For example, the significance of the surcharge that is the subject of the simulation and the applicable requirements are displayed here. The processor 201 that generates information related to the additional charge items to be displayed in the column 603-1 functions as the additional charge related information generating unit 215. The information to be displayed in the additional charge summary column 603-1 is obtained from the system information storage unit 220.

[0066] In the job type column 604 that requires an increase in staff to meet the allocation standard, when the application requirements for the additional payment to be simulated include a standard regarding the allocation of staff of a specific job type, information such as the job type and the number of staff required to meet the allocation standard at the business establishment to be simulated is displayed (see step S206). Here, it is displayed that in day service A2 of social welfare corporation A, in order to apply the nutrition assessment additional payment, one or more registered dietitians must be added from the current situation, and the registered dietitian must be secured as an employee or through cooperation with an external party. Here, the application requirements for the additional payment are related to the allocation of staff of a specific job type, but information on matters to be satisfied in relation to the application requirements and the current situation of the business establishment to be simulated can be displayed. This information is displayed by the information processing device 200, which compares the additional payment application requirements with information regarding the current personnel of the business establishment, based on information acquired by the information processing device 200 through the business establishment information input screens 400-1 and 400-2 and the user information input screen 500, etc., and calculates and displays the number of staff of the job type that requires an increase. Here, the processor 201, which compares the requirements for applying the additional payment with the information on the current personnel of the establishment and generates the necessary change information, which is the number of employees and the number of employees of the job types that require an increase, functions as the necessary change generation unit 214. Information on the placement standards can be obtained by the system information storage unit 220.

[0067] In the simulation value input field 606, a simulation value (information on which the simulation is based) is displayed. For information determined by laws and regulations or information set in advance, information stored in the system information storage unit 220 of the auxiliary storage unit 203 of the information processing device 200 is read and displayed. In addition, when information other than the information acquired by the information processing device 200 through the establishment information input screens 400-2 and 400-2 and the user information input screen 500 and information previously held by the information processing device 200 is required for the simulation, input of that information is accepted from the user. In the nutrition assessment additional calculation simulation screen 600-1 shown in FIG. 14, a number of target users per month field 606a, a number of calculations per month field 606b, a calculation month field 606c in a year, a number of units field 606d, and a unit price field 606e are displayed. Here, the number of calculations per month, the number of units, and the unit price are previously displayed. Also, an input field 606f for target users per month and an input field 606g for the calculation month of the year are displayed, and accept user input. The information processing device 200 waits for user input, and accepts input (X) for the implementation frequency (number of implementation months in a year) (step S213), and accepts input (Y) for the number of users to be implemented (number of people per month) (step S214). In the example shown in Fig. 14, the user inputs 100 as the number of target users per month in the input field 606f and 12 as the calculation month of the year (number of implementation months) in the input field 606g, using the operation unit 104 such as a keyboard.

[0068] The information processing device 200 executes an additional calculation simulation based on the input and set information, and displays the simulation results on the display unit 105 of the user terminal 100 (step S215). Specifically, the annual income from the additional calculation is calculated using the formula: X months x Y people x 50 units x 10.5 yen. The unit price of 10.5 yen in the formula is an example, and the unit price is set according to the grade set for each region. For this reason, in the additional calculation simulation, the location of the business establishment is acquired, and the unit price set based on the grade of the location is used for the calculation. Here, the processor 201 that executes the additional calculation simulation and predicts the additional remuneration amount functions as the additional remuneration amount prediction unit 216. In addition, these additional remuneration amounts are calculated through the input field 606f of the target user per month and the input field 606g of the calculation month in a year on the nutrition assessment additional calculation simulation screen 600-1. The processor 201 , which receives the supplementary information necessary for prediction, functions as the supplementary information receiving unit 217 .

[0069] When the simulation result is displayed, the information processing device 200 judges whether or not there is a need to re-input (change) the numerical values ​​of the implementation frequency and / or the number of users who will participate (step S216). A user who is satisfied with the simulation result displayed on the display unit 105 in step S215 does not re-input, whereas a user who is not satisfied with the simulation result re-inputs the numerical values ​​of the implementation frequency and / or the number of users who will participate to obtain new simulation results. Therefore, when it is judged that there is a need to re-input (change) the numerical values ​​of the implementation frequency and / or the number of users who will participate, the information processing device 200 returns to before step S213 and step S214 and repeats the subsequent processes.

[0070] On the other hand, if it is determined that the frequency of implementation and / or the number of users to be implemented is to be re-input (changed), the information processing device 200 determines whether or not to calculate (step S217). As shown in FIG. 14, a "Calculate" button 606h is displayed in the simulation value input field 606 of the nutrition assessment surcharge calculation simulation screen 600-1. The result of this nutrition assessment surcharge calculation simulation is reflected in the summary screen 600-4 described later and is also used in the business activity statement simulation described later, so it is necessary to confirm it as information that is the basis of such subsequent processing. If the user presses the "Calculate" button 606h, the information processing device 200 stores the simulation results in the basic information storage unit 219 of the auxiliary storage unit 203 in association with the business establishment as basic information for calculating the simulation results in later processing (step S219), and displays formats (not shown) such as a nutrition assessment sheet, plan, and notification form as formats required for obtaining the surcharge on the display unit 105 (step S218), and ends the nutrition assessment surcharge calculation simulation. If the user does not press the "Calculate" button 606h, the information processing device 200 discards the simulation results as they will not be used as the basis for later processing, and ends the processing.

[0071] Returning to the flowchart shown in Fig. 12, if the information processing device 200 determines in step S202 that a LIFE environment has not been established, it further determines whether or not there is a registered dietitian in the target establishment (step S204). If it is determined in step S204 that there is an employee or a registered dietitian who can collaborate with an external organization, the information processing device 200 displays a method for establishing a LIFE environment on the display unit 105 of the user terminal 100 (step S211), and also displays the details of the efforts and the unit price for obtaining a nutritional assessment premium (step S212), and proceeds to steps S213 and S214.

[0072] Also, if it is determined in step S204 that there is no registered dietitian, the information processing device 200 displays a method for constructing a LIFE environment on the display unit 105 of the user terminal 100 (step S208), displays the action content and unit price for obtaining a nutrition assessment surcharge (step S209), displays the personnel and labor costs that need to be added (step S210), and proceeds to steps S213 and S214. A nutrition assessment surcharge calculation simulation screen 600-2 shown in FIG. 15 shows the display of the display unit 105 in this case (displays common to the nutrition assessment surcharge calculation simulation screen 600-1 shown in FIG. 14 are represented by the same reference numerals and explanations are omitted). In the nutrition assessment surcharge calculation simulation screen 600-1 shown in FIG. 14, the target user number field 606a and input field 606f, etc., which were displayed in the input field 606 of the simulation value, are displayed in the simulation field 605-1 of the nutrition assessment surcharge in the nutrition assessment surcharge calculation simulation screen 600-2. In addition, based on the information on the establishment acquired by the information processing device 200, the LIFE environment has not been constructed, and the requirements for obtaining the nutritional assessment premium are not met. Therefore, the nutritional assessment premium calculation simulator shown in FIG. The simulation screen 600-2 is provided with a LIFE environment field 605h and a toggle switch 605i. By switching the toggle switch 605i, a simulation can be executed assuming that a LIFE environment has been constructed.

[0073] The nutrition assessment surcharge calculation simulation screen 600-2 displays a LIFE information submission field 607. The LIFE information submission field 607 displays information such as the fact that a LIFE environment needs to be constructed in order to obtain the nutrition assessment surcharge, and how to construct the LIFE environment. The processor 201 compares the surcharge application requirements with the presence or absence of a LIFE environment construction, and generates information related to the construction of the LIFE environment, which is necessary change information, and functions as the necessary change generation unit 214.

[0074] (Service provision system strengthening surcharge calculation simulation) FIG. 16 shows a service provision system strengthening surcharge calculation simulation screen 600-3 displayed on the display unit 105 of the user terminal 100 when the calculation simulation of the service provision system strengthening surcharge is selected from the surcharge calculation simulations. In the service provision system strengthening surcharge calculation simulation screen 600-3, the software name and the user name are displayed at the top of the screen, similar to the establishment selection screen 300 and the like. Under the title column, bars displaying menu names such as establishment selection, establishment information, user information, business activity statement, simulation surcharge calculation, and simulation business activity statement are arranged. In this case, the menu has progressed from business activity statement input to surcharge calculation simulation, so the bar 303 for "establishment selection", the bar 304 for "establishment information", the bar 305 for "user information", the bar 306 for "business activity statement", and the bar 307 for "simulation surcharge calculation" are displayed in a color different from the other bars.

[0075] At the left end of the service provision system strengthening surcharge calculation simulation screen 600-3, there are arranged a tab 602 displaying the name of the surcharge to be simulated and a summary tab 601, and the user selects the desired tab by operating the operation unit 104 such as a mouse, thereby transitioning to the surcharge simulation screen. In the screen shown in Fig. 16, the service provision system strengthening surcharge tab 602b has been selected, and therefore the service provision system strengthening surcharge tab 602b is displayed in a color different from the other tabs.

[0076] The service provision system strengthening surcharge calculation simulation screen 600-3 mainly displays information titled an overview of the surcharge, future outlook for the indicators of this surcharge, and a simulation of the surcharge in divided areas.

[0077] The summary of the addition 603-2 displays an explanation of the summary of the service provision system strengthening addition. The service provision system strengthening addition includes the service provision system strengthening addition I and the service provider organization. The system strengthening surcharge II and service provision system strengthening surcharge III are included in the total. For each addition, the following explanation is displayed: The Service Provision System Strengthening Surcharge I is 22 credits per session and applies to any of the following: This applies when: 1. The ratio of care workers among care staff is 70% or more 2. More than 25% of care workers have 10 years or more experience in the metals industry The Service Provision System Strengthening Surcharge II is worth 18 credits per session and is applicable in the following cases. 1. The proportion of care workers among care staff is 50% or more The Service Provision System Strengthening Surcharge III is 6 credits per session and applies to any of the following: This applies when: 1. The proportion of care workers among care staff is 40% or more 2. More than 30% of care workers have 7 years or more experience in the field

[0078] The future outlook for the indicators of this surcharge column 608 displays information on the future outlook for the indicators of the service provision system strengthening surcharge, and also accepts input of this information. The indicators of the service provision system strengthening surcharge are the percentage of care workers who are certified care workers, the percentage of care workers who have been employed for 7 years or more, and the percentage of care workers who have been employed for 10 years or more. The calculable surcharge column 608a displays the percentage of the service provision system strengthening surcharge I and the service There are three types of surcharges that can be calculated: Service Provision System Strengthening Surcharge II, Service Provision System Strengthening Surcharge III, and Each is displayed in a different color, and these types of additions and colors correspond to the displays in the index transition column 608b.

[0079] The future outlook column 608 for the indicators of this addition includes an indicator trend column 608b that displays the current value for each indicator and the values ​​from one year to ten years from now in a table format. The current value for each indicator is acquired by the information processing device 200 through the establishment information input screens 400-1 and 400-2, and the information stored in the basic information storage unit 219 of the auxiliary storage unit 203 is read and displayed. The future value for each indicator one year from now and thereafter is calculated based on the current value. As mentioned above, there are three types of service provision system strengthening surcharges, I, II, and III, and since the application requirements are different, when the numerical values ​​of each indicator meet the application requirements, the background color of the cell is displayed differently for each type, similar to the display of the calculateable surcharge column 608a, making it easy to recognize which type of service provision system strengthening surcharge is applicable for that numerical value.

[0080] In addition, in the future outlook column 608 for the indicators of this addition, the column of years of service of the care workers belonging to the establishment is displayed under the row of each indicator. In the years of service column, a header indicating "care worker" on the left end and to the right of it, whether the care worker is a certified care worker or a non-certified care worker and the name are displayed, and to the right of that, the current years of service of each care worker and the transition of years of service from one year to ten years from now are displayed. The information processing device 200 acquires whether the care worker is a certified care worker or a non-certified care worker and the current years of service through the establishment information input screens 400-1 and 400-2 or from a staff database such as a user's management server, and reads and displays the information stored in the basic information storage unit 219 of the auxiliary storage unit 203. The years of service for each year from one year to ten years from now can be calculated from the current years of service, so the user does not need to enter anything in the years of service column. The display range of the future outlook column 608 for the indicators of this addition can be changed using a scroll bar 608d depending on the amount of information. The processor 201 that generates information related to the addition items displayed in the future outlook column 608 for the indicators of this main addition functions as the addition-related information generation unit 215.

[0081] In the addition simulation field 605-2, a pull-down menu 605d is displayed for selecting which of the three types of service provision system strengthening additions to perform an addition calculation simulation for. When the user selects one of the types (service provision system strengthening addition II in FIG. 16) with the operation unit 104 such as a mouse, a service provision system strengthening addition calculation simulation for the selected type is executed, and the simulation result is displayed by a graph 605e. Here, the processor 201, which receives supplementary information required to predict the additional remuneration amount through the pull-down menu 605d, functions as the supplementary information receiving unit 217.

[0082] (Summary) FIG. 17 shows a summary screen 600-4 when summary is selected from the addition calculation simulation. On the summary screen 600-4, similar to the establishment selection screen 300, etc., the software name and user name are displayed at the top of the screen. Below the title column, the following information is displayed: establishment selection, establishment information, user information, business activity statement, simulation addition calculation, simulation In this example, the menu has progressed from user information input to surcharge calculation simulation, so bar 303 for "Establishment Selection," bar 304 for "Establishment Information," bar 305 for "User Information," bar 306 for "Business Activity Calculation," and bar 307 for "Simulation Surcharge Calculation" are displayed in a different color from the other bars.

[0083] On the left edge of summary screen 600-4, there are arranged tab 602 displaying the name of the addition to be simulated and summary tab 601, and the user selects the desired tab by operating operation unit 104 such as a mouse, thereby transitioning to the screen for that addition simulation. In the screen shown in Fig. 17, summary tab 601 has been selected, and therefore is displayed in a color different from the other tabs.

[0084] The summary screen 600-4 shown in Fig. 17 is a screen that displays overall information that summarizes the results of the surcharge calculation simulation for individual surcharges. The summary screen 600-4 mainly displays information titled "surcharge calculation simulation summary," "job types that require additional staff to meet the allocation criteria," and "surcharges used in the simulation" in divided areas. The information displayed on the summary screen 600-4 constitutes the overall information, and the processor 201 that generates this information functions as the overall information generation unit 218.

[0085] The additional calculation simulation summary column 610 displays the expected increase / decrease in service activity revenue 610a, the A. structure evaluation 610b, B. process evaluation 610c, and C. outcome evaluation 610d, as well as a donut graph 610e. The expected increase / decrease in service activity revenue 610a is the total of the expected increase / decrease in nursing care service activity revenue based on the results of each simulation for the additional charges selected as the target of the additional calculation simulation. In addition, from the policy perspective of promoting effective and efficient nursing care service provision, the aim is to appropriately reflect the evaluation of the quality of nursing care services when adding or subtracting from the basic fee according to the service provision system of each business operator and the situation of the user. The evaluation of the quality of such nursing care services is performed from three perspectives: structure, process, and outcome, and each additional charge for nursing care remuneration is also classified into one of the evaluations. The structure evaluation is performed from the perspective of the development of the system (staffing, etc.). The process evaluation is an evaluation from the viewpoint of efforts that meet the calculation requirements (such as interactions between the business operator and the user). The outcome evaluation is an evaluation from the viewpoint of whether a certain effect was achieved through care. The amounts of A. Structure Evaluation 610b, B. Process Evaluation 610c, and C. Outcome Evaluation 610d are the sum of the expected increase or decrease in service activity revenue due to the surcharges classified into each evaluation. The donut graph 610e is composed of two donut graphs. The inner donut graph 610e2 shows the proportion of the expected increase or decrease in service activity revenue due to the surcharges classified into each evaluation of A, B, and C, and the outer donut graph 610e1 shows the detailed proportion of each surcharge (A-1, B1 to B5, C1, etc.) classified into each evaluation. Here, the expected increase / decrease in service activity income 610a corresponds to the total of the additional remuneration at a specified time that constitutes the summary information. Also, the evaluation of the quality of care service is the standard for classifying the additional items, and the breakdown of the expected increase / decrease in service activity income shown by classifying it into structure evaluation 610b, process evaluation 610c, and outcome evaluation 610d is the total amount by category, and the doughnut graph 610e1 generated based on this further shows this by the amount of additional remuneration for each additional item belonging to each category.

[0086] For this reason, when managing a nursing care business, it is useful to know not only the change in revenue due to the application of the surcharge, but also the breakdown of how much revenue changes depending on the quality of service. The estimated amount for each evaluation and the doughnut graph for each evaluation 610e provide information from this perspective.

[0087] The occupation type column 611 requiring an increase in staff to meet the allocation standard displays the total number of people in each occupation required to meet the allocation standard for each additional payment in each additional payment calculation simulation. In the example shown in Fig. 17, care workers 611a, nurses 611b, physical therapists etc. 611c, functional trainers 611d, dental hygienists 611e, and dietitians 611f are displayed, indicating that one additional dietitian is required. The information displayed in the occupation type column 611 requiring an increase in staff to meet the allocation standard is necessary change content information constituting the summary information.

[0088] The addition used in the simulation column 612 displays information about each addition that was the subject of the addition calculation simulation. The addition used in the simulation column 612 includes a category column 612a, a breakdown column 612b, an addition name column 612c, and an addition summary column 612d. The category column 612a displays information such as A-1, which is a combination of A, B, or C, which indicates which of the three types of evaluations the item is classified into, and a number to identify the addition classified into that evaluation. The breakdown column 612b displays the expected increase or decrease in revenue due to the addition of the relevant row. The addition name column 612c displays the name of the addition of the relevant row. The addition summary column 612d displays information such as the application requirements for the addition of the relevant row. The display range of the addition used in the simulation column 612 can be changed using the scroll bar 612e depending on the amount of information. The information displayed in the addition used in the simulation column 612 is information related to the addition items that make up the summary information.

[0089] Then, a "Business Activity Calculation Simulation" button 613 is displayed at the bottom of the addition calculation simulation summary column 610. If there is no problem with the content of the addition displayed on the summary screen 600-4 (step S119), the addition to be acquired is confirmed by pressing "Business Activity Calculation Simulation" by operating the operation unit 104 such as a mouse, and the business activity calculation simulation is executed (step S120). If the user wants to execute an individual addition calculation simulation again (step S119) because he / she wants to review the content of the addition displayed on the summary screen 600-4 and change the information set in the addition calculation simulation, remove any addition from the calculation target, or add an addition to be acquired, the user selects the tab of the desired addition by operating the operation unit 104 such as a mouse. This causes the process to return to step S106.

[0090] (Business activity statement simulation) 18 is a flowchart for explaining the processing procedure of the business activity calculation sheet simulation. The business activity calculation sheet simulation shown in FIG. 18 shows details of the business activity calculation sheet simulation in step S120 in the flowchart shown in FIG.

[0091] In the business activity statement simulation, the information processing device 200 calculates the total amount of annual income by addition based on the annual income in each addition calculation simulation obtained through the addition calculation simulation (step S302). Furthermore, in the business activity statement simulation, the information processing device 200 compares the personnel required to obtain the surcharge calculated in the surcharge calculation simulation with the information on the current staff of the establishment that is the subject of the simulation, obtained through the establishment information input screens 400-1 to 400-2, and judges whether the personnel required to obtain each surcharge is sufficient (step S303). If it is determined in step S303 that the number of personnel is not sufficient, the information processing device 200 accepts the input of the personnel costs of the required personnel on the business activity statement simulation screens 700-2 and 700-3 described later (step S304). If it is determined in step S303 that the number of personnel is sufficient, the process proceeds to step S305.

[0092] When performing the business activity statement simulation in step S305, The total amount of annual income to be calculated and the personnel expenses to be acquired in step S304 are added to the information on the business activity statement for the previous year acquired through the business activity statement input screen 700-1. However, as for personnel expenses, as will be described later, in the case of hiring, 35% of the hiring expenses are recorded in the first year.

[0093] (Business activity statement simulation screen) As described above, the business activity statement simulation is executed based on the addition items to be calculated on the establishment information input screens 400-1 to 400-2, the user information input screen 500, and the addition calculation simulation screens 600-1 to 600-3, and the business activity statement information of the previous year input via the business activity statement input screen 700-1. The information used in the business activity statement simulation is not limited to these, and information input separately, information acquired separately from an external server, etc. may be used in the business activity statement simulation.

[0094] FIG. 19 shows a business activity calculation simulation screen 700-2 displayed on the display unit 105 of the user terminal 100 to display the results of the business activity calculation simulation and accept the input of necessary information by the user (step S306). The business activity calculation simulation shown in FIG. 19 shows an example of a simulation assuming a typical large-scale day care facility with 100 users per month, 11.4 full-time equivalent staff members, 7.9 full-time equivalent nursing and care staff members, and additional employment of professionals such as rehabilitation staff. Here, the business activity calculation information constitutes the operating status information, and the processor 201 that executes the business activity calculation simulation to generate business activity calculation simulation screens 700-2 to 700-3 described later and accepts input of personnel costs and numbers of personnel to be supplemented functions as the operating status information generating unit 212 and the change setting accepting unit 213, respectively.

[0095] Although not shown, the business activity statement simulation screen 700-2 shown in FIG. 19 displays the name of the software and the user name at the top of the screen. Below the title field, bars 303 to 308 are arranged, displaying menu names such as establishment selection, establishment information, user information, simulation addition calculation, business activity statement, and simulation business activity statement. Here, the menu has progressed from establishment selection, establishment information, user information, business activity statement input, and addition calculation simulation to business activity statement simulation, so that bar 303 for "establishment selection", bar 304 for "establishment information", bar 305 for "user information", bar 306 for "business activity statement", bar 307 for "simulation addition calculation", and bar 308 for "simulation business activity statement" are all displayed in the same color.

[0096] The business activity statement simulation screen 700-2 includes a business activity statement information field 711 and an addition specification field 712. The business activity statement information field 711 displays information on a simulated business activity statement spanning five years from the first year (shown as "Year x" to "Year x+4" in FIG. 19). The addition specification field 712 accepts the user's designation of information regarding additions for the first to five years. The information displayed in the business activity statement information field 711 is simulated reflecting information regarding additions designated by the user via the addition specification field 712.

[0097] In the business activity statement information column 711, the values ​​of each account item 713 are displayed for each year from x to x+4. In the business activity statement simulation screen 700-2 shown in FIG. 19, the account items 713 are broadly divided into a service activity increase / decrease section 714, a service activity increase / decrease difference 715, a previous term end fund payment balance 716, and a current term end fund payment balance 717. The service activity increase / decrease section 714 is further divided into revenue 718 and expenses 719. Revenue 718 includes the items of nursing care insurance business revenue 720, ordinary expense donation revenue 721, other revenue 722, and service activity revenue total 723. Nursing care insurance business revenue 720 is the amount of the nursing care insurance business revenue that is calculated based on the simulation results. The amount including the nursing care business income due to the surcharge calculated as the subject of the simulation is displayed, and the breakdown includes nursing care insurance business income 720a excluding the surcharge and nursing care insurance business income 720b due to the surcharge. The service activity income total 723 is the total amount of nursing care insurance business income 720, ordinary expense donation income 721, and other income 722. In addition, the expenses 719 include personnel expenses 724, business expenses 725, administrative expenses 726, depreciation expenses 727, other expenses 728, and total service activity expenses 729. The personnel expenses 724 are displayed in an amount including the personnel expenses associated with the surcharge calculated as the subject of the simulation, and the breakdown includes personnel expenses 725a excluding the personnel expenses associated with the surcharge and personnel expenses 725b associated with the surcharge. The service activity expense total 729 is the total amount of personnel expenses 724, business expenses 725, administrative expenses 726, depreciation expenses 727, and other expenses 728. In addition, the service activity increase / decrease difference 715 is the difference between the total service activity revenue 723 and the total service activity expense 729.

[0098] The surcharge specification field 712 allows the user to specify which year, from x year to x+4 year, on the right side, the surcharge will be acquired from for each surcharge displayed in the surcharge and additional personnel field 730. The name of the surcharge is displayed in the leftmost field of the surcharge specification field 712. On the business activity statement simulation screen 700-2 shown in FIG. 19, oral function improvement surcharge 731, ADL maintenance surcharge II 732, individual functional training surcharge I-733, and scientific care promotion system surcharge 734 are displayed. And, for the oral function improvement surcharge 731, the ADL maintenance etc. surcharge II 732, and the scientific care promotion system surcharge 734, "add personnel" buttons 731c, 732c, and 734c are displayed, respectively, in order to add personnel when obtaining the surcharge.

[0099] To the right of each column of the surcharge name, columns from x year to x+4 year are arranged so as to match the columns from x year to x+4 year in the business activity statement information column 711. In the upper half of each year column, bars 731a to 734a are displayed. These bars 731a to 734a are used by the user to specify from which year the surcharge displayed on the left end is to be acquired when simulating the business activity statement. By default, the bar 731a is displayed from x year to x+4 year, as on the right side of the oral function improvement surcharge 731, but when the user drags and moves the left end of the bar to the column of the desired year using the operation unit 104 such as a mouse, the simulation of the business activity statement is executed assuming that the surcharge is acquired from the year displayed on the left end of the bar (step S308). For example, the oral function improvement supplement 731 and the scientific care promotion system supplement 734 are to be obtained from the xth year, the ADL maintenance etc. supplement II 732 from the x+1th year, and the individual function training supplement I 733 from the x+2th year. A simulation of the statement is performed. Even if the business establishment being simulated by the business activity statement simulation meets the requirements for the surcharge, the date on which the surcharge is to be obtained is a management decision of the business operator, including the timing of investment, so the user can specify this as the basis for the business activity statement simulation. This allows the user to perform a business activity statement simulation under a variety of conditions, providing useful information for the formulation of nursing care business plans. In addition, the system can provide information on future estimates of the effect of investment on increased revenue based on forecasts of increases in labor costs and revenue, supporting the formulation of long-term personnel plans.

[0100] In addition, the lower half of the column to the right of each surcharge name column displays an input field 731b for the number of additional personnel. When the user inputs the numerical value of the additional personnel into this input field 731b by operating the operation unit 104 such as a keyboard, a business activity statement simulation is executed based on the input number of personnel. In the surcharge designation column 712 shown in the business activity statement simulation screen 700-2 shown in FIG. 19, the individual functional training surcharge I 73 In the input field 733b of the column for the x+2 fiscal year, which is located to the right of the column for 3 and to the left of the bar 733a, the user has input "1" and it is displayed (step S306). Regarding the Individual Functional Training Add-on I-733, what is the relationship with the current number of employees at the applicable business establishment? Since the person in charge has determined that there is a shortage of personnel such as physical therapists (see step S303), an input field 733c for the personnel expenses of physical therapists, etc. is displayed in the additional and additional personnel column 730 on the left side. By operating the above, the user inputs appropriate values ​​into the input field 733c, and the annual personnel expenses for the physical therapists, etc., required to obtain the surcharge are accepted (step S309), and a business activity statement simulation is executed based on the set personnel expenses. Here, it is specified that one person will be added from the x+2 fiscal year at 4,500,000 yen per year. By pressing the "Add Personnel" button 731c, etc. in the surcharge and additional personnel column 730 using the operation unit 104 such as a mouse, the job type to be added and the input field for personnel expenses are displayed, and the input result is reflected in the business activity statement simulation.

[0101] Based on the information on the acquisition time of the additional payment, the number of additional personnel, and the labor cost specified by the above-mentioned additional payment specification field 712, each account item of the business activity statement from the year x to the year x+4 is simulated (the year x to the year x+4 corresponds to the specified period). In the business activity statement simulation screen 700-2 shown in FIG. 19, by acquiring the oral function improvement additional payment and the scientific nursing care promotion system additional payment without employing additional personnel in the year x, the simulation result shows that the amount of the additional payment from the nursing care insurance business revenue in the year x is 6,487 thousand yen, the labor cost associated with the additional payment is 0 yen, and the service activity increase / decrease difference is 6,487 thousand yen. Since it is specified that the ADL maintenance additional payment II is to be acquired from the year x+1, the simulation result shows that the amount of the additional payment from the nursing care insurance business revenue in the year x+1 is 6,713 thousand yen, the labor cost associated with the additional payment is 0 yen, and the service activity increase / decrease difference is 6,713 thousand yen. In addition, from the fiscal year x+2, the individual functional training allowance I-ro will be obtained, and as a result, one additional physical therapist will be employed. Therefore, the simulation results show that the nursing care insurance business revenue for fiscal year x+2 will be 12,357,000 yen due to the surcharge, the personnel expenses associated with the surcharge will be 6,075,000 yen, and the difference in service activity increase / decrease will be 6,282,000 yen. Note that since physical therapists and others will be employed from fiscal year x+2, the first year of employment, the personnel expenses associated with the surcharge are recorded as the amount obtained by adding 35% as recruitment expenses to the personnel expenses entered in the surcharge and additional personnel column 730, which is 4,500,000 yen. Therefore, from fiscal year x+3 onwards, the personnel expenses associated with the surcharge will be 4,500,000 yen set in the surcharge and additional personnel column 730.

[0102] As mentioned above, the business activity statement simulation is performed on the additions that are determined to be calculated in the addition calculation simulation, so if you want to change the type of addition that is the subject of the business activity statement simulation, you must return to the addition calculation simulation.

[0103] Fig. 20 shows another business activity statement simulation screen 700-3. Explanation of the same configuration as the business activity statement simulation screen 700-2 shown in Fig. 19 will be omitted. The display content of the business activity statement simulation screen 700-3 also shows the breakdown of the nursing care insurance business income 720 by addition 720b, which is part of the nursing care insurance business income 720, classified into structure evaluation 720c, process evaluation 720d, and outcome evaluation 720e.

[0104] In running a nursing care business, it is not enough to simply increase revenue by applying surcharges; the quality of the service to be provided is an important element of management policy. In this regard, the business activity statement simulation provides information not only on the change in revenue due to the application of surcharges, but also on how that change appears in terms of structure evaluation, process evaluation, and outcome evaluation, which is extremely useful when determining management policy. The business activity statement simulation screen 700-3 shown in Figure 20 provides such information. do. [Explanation of symbols]
