Description

[Technical field]

[0001] An embodiment of the present invention relates to a nursing care certification survey system used in a certification survey conducted in a nursing care insurance program in which an investigator visits an applicant for nursing care certification. [Background technology]

[0002] The long-term care insurance program is implemented nationwide, and is run by each city, ward, town, or village (local government) as the insurer. To explain the flow of this long-term care insurance program, first, when a resident of a city, ward, town, or village wishes to use long-term care services, the applicant applies for long-term care certification to the city, ward, town, or village. Once the application is submitted, an investigator from the certification investigation organization conducts a certification investigation into the applicant's physical condition, etc. This certification investigation is carried out by the investigator visiting and interviewing the applicant for long-term care certification, and selecting from the options set for each of several pre-set certification investigation items (74 items including groups 1 to 5). Furthermore, for any matters that cannot be fully expressed by the options for each item, the investigator will write them freely as special notes. At the same time, the city, ward, town, or village will ask the applicant's doctor to prepare a letter of opinion.

[0003] The certification survey results are input into a specified primary assessment program using a tree diagram, and the standard time for nursing care certification, etc. is calculated. The level of nursing care required (not applicable, assistance required 1, 2, each stage from care required 1 to care required 5) based on this calculated standard time for nursing care certification, etc. is output as the primary assessment result.

[0004] After this, the nursing care certification committee, which is made up of health, medical, and welfare experts, will comprehensively review the results of the primary assessment, the certification investigation results, the doctor's opinion, and any special notes, and make a secondary assessment. They will then determine whether or not nursing care is required, and if so, what level of care is needed. Based on the assessment of this nursing care certification committee, the city, town, or village, which is the insurer, will issue a nursing care certification.

[0005] Meanwhile, the current situation surrounding nursing care certification work has changed significantly in recent years. Firstly, the number of surveys in nursing care certification work is on the rise in response to the 2025 problem, when the baby boomer generation will reach their late senior years, or the so-called aging society. However, as the population ages, the working population is declining, and some local governments are facing a shortage of survey staff. On the other hand, local governments are steadily promoting DX (digital transformation: using digital technologies such as AI, IoT, and big data to improve work flows and create new business models), and there is a demand for work-life balance and teleworking in nursing care certification work.

[0006] The aforementioned home visit survey work is at the top of the nursing care certification process and is the most important work in reaching a certification result. In this context, there is a demand for more "efficient" and more "fair" home visit surveys.

[0007] Previously, the on-site survey work involved certification investigators bringing paper certification survey forms, interviewing applicants, writing down which of the survey items (74 items) they applied to, and taking handwritten notes of any necessary points as special notes. After the survey, the investigators returned to the office, checked for inconsistencies in the survey content, and then created a survey form. The survey results, including the options selected for each survey item (74 items) and special notes, were then entered into a designated computer system using OCR or other methods.

[0008] As a result, investigators had to bring paper certification survey forms and handwrite the survey results, which they then had to enter into the computer system each time. This meant that a lot of time was spent preparing the survey forms, traveling to and from the applicants' homes, and checking the contents, which made the process less efficient and left room for improvement in accuracy.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0014] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. First, the overall configuration of a nursing care certification investigation system will be outlined with reference to FIG.

[0015] In Fig. 1, 11 is a computerized host system installed in the local government that is the long-term care insurer, and is equipped with software for supporting nursing care certification, and applications for nursing care from local government residents are registered. 12 is a computerized management terminal for nursing care certification work, and is configured to be able to import various data related to nursing care certification from the host system 11 and to transmit various data to the host system 11. 13 is a tablet terminal that can send and receive data to and from the management terminal 12, and can be carried by investigators when visiting and investigating applicants for nursing care certification surveys (who are also survey subjects). The functions of the above-mentioned management terminal 12 may be provided in the host system 11, and the host system 11 and the management terminal 12 may be integrated.

[0016] Figure 2 shows the data configuration of the above-mentioned upper system 11. Upper system 11 holds various types of data, but here only data related to the nursing care certification work is shown. Reference numeral 111 denotes applicant information, which is basic information (name, date of birth, address, etc.) that can identify the applicant for nursing care certification, and information on the previous certification result (previous secondary assessment result, previous validity period, etc.). Reference numeral 112 denotes investigator information, which is basic information (affiliated institution, name, address, qualification code, etc.) that can identify the investigator conducting the certification survey.

[0017] 3 shows the data configuration of the management terminal 12 and the screens displayed by this data. 12A is the top subject list screen, which is formed from screen data of applicant information 121A and investigator information 122A. This applicant information 121A and investigator information 122A are imported from the higher-level system 11 and are basically the same as the applicant information 111 and investigator information 112 of the higher-level system 11, but "comments to be communicated" when there is something the administrator wants to convey to the investigator and "administrator memo information" that the administrator wants to personally note are added using the subject list screen 12A via a keyboard (not shown) or the like (indicated by underlined and highlighted text).

[0018] 12B is an investigator master screen, which is formed as a list screen of survey subjects based on applicant information 121B and investigator information 122B. Note that as the investigator basic information in investigator information 122B, characteristic codes that can be used as reference when assigning subsequent investigators can be assigned as "investigator characteristic code 1," "investigator characteristic code 2," and "investigator characteristic code 3" (represented by underlining and highlighted text).

[0019] 12C is an investigator allocation screen, which allows the allocation of investigators to survey subjects and the setting of visit dates and times for the survey subjects based on applicant information 121C and investigator information 122C. Note that by allocating investigators using this investigator allocation screen 12C, as described below, the information "target investigator" and "visit date and time" is added to the applicant basic information (indicated by underlining and highlighted text). The assigned survey subjects and the planned visit date and time can then be displayed on the survey screen described below for the survey subject selected from the list display screen 12A.

[0020] In addition to the above-mentioned subject list screen 12A, investigator master screen 12B, and investigator assignment screen 12C, the management terminal 12 has an investigation result confirmation screen 12D that displays the results of a subsequent certification investigation using the tablet terminal 13. This investigation result confirmation screen 12D is also composed of applicant information 121D and investigator information 122D. This applicant information 121D and investigator information 122D are basically the same as the applicant information 131B and investigator information 132B that form the investigation screen 13B (described later in FIG. 4) of the tablet terminal 13. However, the applicant information 121D further includes "deliberation results" (underlined and highlighted text) that have been used to deliberate the validity of the investigation results.

[0021] 4 shows the data configuration of the tablet terminal 13 and the screen displayed by the data. This tablet terminal 13 is capable of sending and receiving data to and from the management terminal 12 described above. 13A is the top subject list screen, which is formed from screen data of applicant information 131A and investigator information 132A. This applicant information 131A and investigator information 132A are imported from the management terminal 12 and are basically the same as the applicant information 121A and investigator information 122A of the management terminal 12, but handwritten "free memo information" that helps the investigator before conducting the investigation is added to the applicant information 131A (represented by underlining and highlighted characters). This is used for taking notes on confirmation items before the visit, communicating in writing with the hearing impaired person during the visit, etc.

[0022] That is, this tablet terminal 13 can be carried by each investigator, and the assigned survey subjects and the scheduled visit date and time can be displayed in a list on the survey subject list screen 13A. This survey subject list screen 13A also includes fixed phrase information 133A. This "fixed phrase information" 133A is a pre-recorded set of fixed phrases for special notes corresponding to each option of the basic survey items used in the survey screen 13B described later (expressed by underlining and highlighted text). This fixed phrase information 134 can be added from a master not shown.

[0023] The survey screen 13B is a screen for conducting a certification survey of survey subjects selected from the survey subject list screen 13A. This survey screen 13B is composed of applicant information 131B, surveyor information 132B, and fixed phrase information 133B. The applicant information 131B constituting this survey screen 13B includes "service facilities as survey information," "family situation," "basic survey information," "current results information for these surveys," and "special notes" (expressed in underlined and highlighted text). Fixed phrase information 133B is displayed as fixed phrase information 133A on the survey screen 13B as is, and assists in survey input of special notes, etc.

[0024] Next, the flow of certification survey operations using the system configuration shown in Figure 1 will be outlined using Figure 5. Before the survey, data is distributed to surveyors as advance preparation. That is, to smoothly manage the schedules of applicants (survey subjects) and surveyors, only the necessary information is installed on tablet terminal 13 by management terminal 12 linked to a higher-level system within the agency. Risks are reduced by limiting the information taken out to the bare minimum.

[0025] At the investigation stage, the investigator visits the applicant's home to conduct an interview. During this visit, the tablet terminal 13 is brought out and used for the interview. As described below, the tablet terminal 13 is configured so that an electronic input area and a memo area in which handwritten notes can be written with an electronic pen can be arranged side by side on the display, and notes can be taken with pen input. This allows notes to be taken while looking at the other person's face, just like with conventional paper notes. At the same time, the investigation items can also be checked. Note that this investigation can be carried out not only by an investigator visiting the applicant's home, but also by the applicant visiting the local government and meeting with the investigator within the government office.

[0026] After the survey, the survey results are entered into the tablet terminal 13. The tablet terminal 13 supports the entry with its comprehensive auxiliary functions, which will be described later, so the survey can be easily carried out in a vehicle while traveling or in the office after returning to the office. For example, the survey items checked during the survey can be viewed side by side with handwritten notes, making it easy to summarize the survey contents.

[0027] After the investigation, the investigator checks whether there are any inconsistencies in the investigation contents within the agency and inputs the investigation results into the management terminal 12. As described above, the investigation items checked and handwritten notes can be checked side by side on the tablet terminal 13, which reduces the time and effort required for the investigation, and by using a dedicated keyboard, the input of special notes can also be completed on the tablet, which also reduces the time and effort required for the investigation and is ideal for remote work.

[0028] Next, specific configurations of the management terminal 12 and the tablet terminal 13, which are the main components of this embodiment, will be described.

[0029] As explained in Fig. 1, the management terminal 12 imports applicant information 111 including basic information that can identify the applicant for nursing care certification shown in Fig. 2, and investigator information 112 including basic information that can identify the investigator of the certification survey, from the upper system 11 owned by the local government, and uses it as screen data 121A, B, C, D, 122A, B, C, D that form the subject list screen 12A, investigator master screen 12B, investigator assignment screen 12C, and survey result confirmation screen 12D, as shown in Fig. 3. Of course, data configurations displayed in underlined and highlighted characters corresponding to each screen 12A, B, C, D are added to each of these image data 121A, B, C, D, 122A, B, C, D.

[0030] The screen transitions of this management terminal 12 will be explained with reference to Fig. 6. First, a login screen 12I (omitted from Fig. 3) is displayed, and an ID / password input section and a login button, not shown, are displayed. Tapping the login button on this login screen displays the top target person list screen 12A. From this target person list screen 12A, an investigator master screen 12B, an investigator assignment screen 12C, and a survey result confirmation screen 12D for confirmation and approval, which includes the survey results, are derived. In addition, modal window displays 12A1, 12A2, and 12A3 can be displayed from the target person list screen 12A, but explanations of these will be omitted.

[0031] FIG. 7 shows the top subject list screen 12A that is displayed by tapping the login button on the login screen. As explained in FIG. 3, subject list screen 12A is made up of applicant information 121A and investigator information 122b. In FIG. 7, 12Aa is a survey subject information display function that is displayed using image data from applicant information 121A shown in FIG. 3, and displays basic information that can identify the applicant in a table format. Sorting can be done by tapping the column names. If the entire screen cannot be displayed, vertical and horizontal scrolling is enabled.

[0032] A higher-level tab function 12Ab is provided in the upper right corner of the subject list screen 12A, and tapping "investigator data" on the tab displays the investigator master screen 12B (Fig. 8). The investigator master screen 12B is composed of screen data based on the investigator information 122B shown in Fig. 3, but investigator codes 1, 2, 3... are added, as shown by the underlined and highlighted text.

[0033] 12Ac represents the survey subject list tab function. By tapping on "Survey subject list", the above-mentioned list of survey subject data (survey subject information display function 12Aa) is displayed as shown in the figure. Also, by tapping on "Payment history list", a list of survey subject data output to the long-term care insurance system after the survey is completed is displayed.

[0034] 12Ad represents the person in charge allocation function; tapping this will transition to the investigator allocation screen 12C (Fig. 9), where you can assign a person in charge (investigator) to each survey subject, as described below. 12Ae is the survey result confirmation function; selecting and tapping the "insured person number" of the survey subject will transition to the survey result confirmation screen 12D (Fig. 10). 12Af is the visit date and memo management function; selecting "scheduled visit date and time" or "memo mark" will display a window for the visit date and time input memo screen (Fig. 11). 12Ag is the comment function; selecting the "comment mark" will display a window for the comment screen (Fig. 12), where you can enter comments for each applicant.

[0035] 12Ah is a summary function that tally up and displays the number of applications and surveys by this week and today. 12Ai represents a data exchange function, which exchanges data using the respective linking methods. When each button is selected, a data exchange screen pops up. That is, when "Media" is selected, survey subject information from the higher-level system 11 is imported into the management terminal 12 using media or other methods. When "Visit Survey System" is selected, survey subject information is assigned to the tablet terminal 13, and survey completion data on the tablet terminal 13 is imported. When "Management System" is selected, data is exchanged between management terminals 12.

[0036] As mentioned above, tapping the investigator assignment function 12Ad shown in Figure 7 transitions to the investigator assignment screen 12C, where an investigator can be assigned to each survey subject, and this assignment of investigators will be explained using Figure 9. In Figure 9, 12Ca represents the investigator selection list, and by selecting and assigning an investigator from the list, an investigator is assigned to the currently checked survey subject.

[0037] 12Cb is the investigator frame used by the investigator allocation function; when the investigator frame in each survey subject column is selected, a list of investigators is displayed as shown in the figure. When one of them is selected, the investigator's name is entered in the investigator frame and the investigator is assigned. 12Cc is the investigator list, and a list of investigators is displayed. Flag marks and other marks specified in the investigator master are displayed. It also displays the number of surveys this month and the number of surveys currently assigned. 12Cd is a calendar display function; when an investigator is selected, a calendar with the selected investigator's investigation status entered and the available time for the selected date are displayed.

[0038] 12Ce is the visit date and memo management function. When the scheduled visit date and time or memo mark is selected, the visit date and time input memo screen shown in Figure 11 is displayed in a window, so you can set the scheduled visit date and time of the survey subject and enter free memos in the memo field. 12Cd is the comment function. When the comment mark is selected, the comment screen shown in Figure 12 is displayed in a window, so you can enter comments for each applicant (survey subject).

[0039] In addition to these screens 12A, 12B, and 12C, the management terminal 12 also has a survey result confirmation screen 12D, as shown in Figures 3 and 6. This survey result confirmation screen 12D is used to confirm and display the survey results using the tablet terminal 13, and will be explained in detail using Figure 10 after explaining the tablet terminal 13.

[0040] 1, the tablet terminal 13 is capable of sending and receiving data to and from the management terminal 12, and is configured so that the investigator can carry it individually to interview the survey subject (applicant). As explained in FIG. 4, this tablet terminal 13 is capable of displaying a top subject list screen 13A that can display a list of survey subjects and scheduled visit dates and times assigned by the management terminal 12, and a survey screen 13B for a survey subject selected from this subject list screen 13A.

[0041] The screen transition of the tablet terminal 13 will be described with reference to Fig. 13. By tapping an ID / password input section or a login button (not shown) on a login screen 13I (not shown in Fig. 4), a top target person list screen 13A is displayed. From this target person list screen 13A, a survey screen 13B and a setting screen 13S (not shown in Fig. 4) are derived.

[0042] From the setting screen 13S, by switching tabs within that screen, a fixed phrase data editing screen 13S1, a password change screen 13S2, and other display setting screens can be accessed, but a description of these will be omitted.

[0043] From the survey screen 13B, by switching between tabs within the screen, a service and facility screen 13B1 where information regarding the survey subject's use of service facilities can be entered, a family situation and living environment screen 13B2 where the applicant's family situation and living environment can be entered, and a basic survey screen 13B3 where options are set for items related to the applicant's nursing care certification. In addition, a surveyor and survey subject screen 13B4, a special notes screen 13B5, and a preview screen 13B6 are also similarly derived.

[0044] Of these, the service and facility screen 13B1, the family situation and living environment screen 13B2, and the basic survey screen 13B3 are configured so that an electronic input area and a memo area where handwritten notes can be written with an electronic pen can be arranged side by side on the display. However, in addition to the layout in which the electronic input area and the memo area with an electronic pen are arranged side by side on the display, these three screens 13B1, 13B2, and 13B3 can be changed to three patterns, as shown in the figure, in which the memo area with an electronic pen is displayed in full width, and the handwritten memo area is hidden and the electronic input area is displayed in full width. In addition, the free memo window 13f is configured to be displayed from both the list screen 13A and the survey screen 13B.

[0045] The top subject list screen 13A displays a list of survey subjects, as shown in Fig. 14. In Fig. 14, 13Aa is an upper tab function, and tapping "Environment Settings" among them transitions to environment settings screen 13S, where the various environment settings shown in Fig. 13 become possible. Furthermore, tapping "Operation Manual" displays the pre-set investigator text manual (settings such as selection criteria for options).

[0046] 13Ab is an applicant (survey subject) information display function that displays information on the applicant (survey subject) in table format. Sorting can be done by tapping the column name. If the entire list cannot be displayed, scrolling is enabled. 13Ac is a visit date and time display function that displays the pre-assigned visit date and time. 13Ad is a calendar / free memo function that, when tapped, displays a window with the calendar / free memo sub-screen shown in Figure 15, which can be used to confirm the planned visit date and time. Support functions when entering memos are explained on a separate sheet. 13Ae is a comment (return) function that, if there is a return comment from the management terminal 12, can be viewed by tapping.

[0047] In the calendar / free memo function 13Ad in Figure 15, 13Ada is a basic information display function that displays basic information about the survey subject. 13Adb is a scheduled visit date and time registration function that allows a date to be specified from a calendar icon and allows the scheduled visit date and time to be registered. 13Adc is a free memo function that allows free memo input for each applicant (survey subject).

[0048] Next, the survey screen 13B will be described. As shown in FIG. 13, the survey screen 13B has six screens that are displayed by switching between tabs within the screen. FIG. 16 shows one of the tabs, the surveyor / survey subject screen 13B4. This screen 13B4 has display columns for each of the items (shown in bold): "Survey implementation information," "Survey subject," and "Family contact information, etc." The specific implementation status of the survey and detailed information on the survey subjects can be determined from the contents of these displays.

[0049] Next, the service and facility screen 13B1, the family situation and living environment screen 13B2, and the basic survey screen 13B3 will be explained in order. These three screens are among the six screens displayed by switching between them using the tabs shown in Fig. 13, and are screens in which an electronic input area and a memo area in which handwritten notes can be written using an electronic pen can be arranged side by side on the display.

[0050] FIG. 17 shows the service and facility screen 13B1. In FIG. 17, 13B1a is a selection tab function, which is a tab for selecting the "Home Service" or "Facility" entry field. When "Facility" is selected, it jumps to facility input area 13B1b. This facility input area 13B1b is an area for electronically inputting the type of service currently being received by the survey subject and the number of times it has been received, and is formed in the left half of the display as shown. 13B1c is a memo function area for service facilities, which is formed in the right half of the display as shown, and allows notes regarding service facilities to be handwritten and input using an electronic pen.

[0051] FIG. 18 shows the family situation / living environment screen 13B2. In FIG. 18, 13B2a is a family situation / living environment input function, which allows input of family situation / living environment. 13B2b is an overview specific fixed text display function, which displays a fixed text of overview specific that has been formulated in advance as shown in the figure. When a selection item displayed on the left side of the figure is tapped, the corresponding fixed text is copied into the display area of ​​the family situation / living environment input function 13B2a. Selection items such as "living alone," "living together (couple only)," and "living together (other)" are prepared, and by selecting one of them, the corresponding overview specific is displayed from the top. 13B2c is a memo area for family situation / living environment, which is formed in the right half of the display as shown in the figure, and handwritten input with an electronic pen is possible.

[0052] Next, the basic survey screen 13B3 will be described with reference to Fig. 19. This basic survey screen 13B3 has options set for items related to the nursing care certification for the applicant (survey subject). 13B3a is a group tab function, which is located in the common area at the top of the display screen, and is used to select tabs for each survey group of survey items "Group 1" to "Group 5," "Medical care," and "Level of independence." Also, on the right side of the common area at the top of the display screen, a hold / warning function 13B3b is located, which, if there are any inconsistencies in the survey results, will hold the survey results or issue a warning, and will display the number of such cases.

[0053] In this basic survey screen 13B3, the left half of the display screen is used as an area for electronic input, and the right half is used as an area for handwritten notes using an electronic pen. First, the electronic input area in the left half of the figure will be explained. FIG. 19 shows a case where Group 1 is selected by the group tab function 13B3a, and in the left half area, options are set for each survey item of "Group 1 Physical Functions / Daily Activities" (1-1: Presence or Absence of Paralysis, etc., 1-2: Presence or Absence of Contracture, ..., etc.). By selecting one of them, the physical condition of the survey subject is electronically entered.

[0054] 13B3c is the previous result display function, which displays the date of the previous investigation result. Furthermore, when this previous investigation result function is on, the results of the previous investigation are underlined for each option. 13B3d is the investigation status check function, which manages the results as "Entered", "Not entered" or "Pending". "Entered" and "Not entered" are displayed automatically depending on the option selected. "Pending" is displayed manually, and when pending, the status is displayed clearly with an overall background color. 13B3e is the investigator text display function, which displays investigator text information in a pop-up screen. 13B3f is the special notes input function, which displays the special notes input screen for the relevant item in a pop-up. If special notes have been entered, a background color etc. is added.

[0055] Here, by tapping the convenient image button 13Bx provided at the top of the screen, a convenient image (Fig. 20) corresponding to each item is displayed. That is, the illustration in Fig. 20 (a) is displayed for the survey item "1-1: Presence or absence of paralysis, etc.", the illustration in Fig. 20 (b) is displayed for the survey item "1-2: Presence or absence of contracture," the illustration in Fig. 20 (c) is displayed for the survey item "1-10: Visual acuity (visual acuity check chart)," and the illustration in Fig. 20 (d) is displayed for the survey item "visual acuity check." 13B3g is an illustration enlargement function, and tapping an illustration enlarges the corresponding image in the modal window displayed from the convenient image button 13Bx.

[0056] Next, the handwritten memo area on the right side of the illustration will be explained. At the top of the memo area are buttons for various functions, the main ones of which are explained below. A is the "base ON function," and by tapping this, the survey items, their options, and corresponding illustrations will appear as a base, just like in the area on the left side of the illustration. B is the "eraser function," which has the function of erasing characters handwritten with the electronic pen. C is the "pen color function," which allows the pen color to be selected between red and black. D is the "pen thickness function," which allows the thickness of the pen used for handwriting to be selected.

[0057] In an actual survey, the surveyor interviews the survey subjects, writes the contents of the interview in the memo area, and after the survey, selects the appropriate option for each item in the electronic input area based on the contents of the memo, and enters special notes as necessary. In this case, if the input area is displayed on the left side of the display screen and the memo area is displayed on the right side as shown in FIG. 19, the surveyor can easily and accurately input data because the surveyor can input data while looking at the memo. If the surveyor wants to focus on taking notes during the interview with the survey subjects, the memo area shown in FIG. 19 can be expanded to the left side of the screen, and the entire display screen can be used as the memo area. Furthermore, in order to check the input contents, the memo area can be erased by turning off the memo area display function 13By provided at the top of the screen, and the entire display screen can be used as the input area, and many items can be displayed to check the input status.

[0058] The aforementioned investigator text display function 13B3e provided in the input area allows an investigator to tap this mark when he or she is unsure of which option to select, and a pop-up screen showing text information specifying the selection criteria is displayed as shown in Figure 21. The investigator can select the appropriate option by referring to the selection criteria.

[0059] Similarly, the aforementioned special note input function 13B3f provided in the input area can be used to pop up a special note input screen shown in Fig. 22 by tapping this mark when special notes are required for the relevant item. Then, by selecting the corresponding text from the standard text selection mechanism in the lower part of the figure and tapping it in the special note entry field in the middle part of the figure, the standard text is used in the special note entry field. Of course, special notes for the relevant item can be arbitrarily entered from a dedicated keyboard (not shown).

[0060] An actual survey example is explained using Figure 23. After interviewing the surveyor, the surveyor writes down the surveyor's physical condition in the memo area on the right side of the figure. In this example, the options and illustrations (all with a background) for areas with paralysis or stiffness are circled, and special notes such as "Only the right side goes up, but it cannot be stopped" and "Limited to about 45 degrees" are handwritten.

[0061] After the interview, the investigator selects options for each item in the input area on the left side of the figure based on the above-mentioned memo, and inputs special notes using the special notes input screen shown in Figure 22. If there are any inconsistencies in the input contents, a warning is issued, and the number of warnings is counted by the hold / warning function 13B3b shown in Figure 19. For example, if the input says "cannot get up" but the input says "can stand up" then this is clearly a contradiction and will be subject to a warning.

[0062] Returning to Fig. 13, the survey screen 13B can be switched between a special notes screen 13B5 and a preview screen 13B6 by using tabs. The special notes screen 13B5 displays a list of the special notes entered for each item, as shown in Fig. 24. By tapping an item in Fig. 24, the screen transitions to the special notes input screen shown in Fig. 22, where the special notes can be edited.

[0063] As shown in Fig. 25, the preview screen 13B6 displays a preview of the A4-formatted examination committee materials (certification information) linked to the investigation results. In Fig. 25, the investigation results for each investigation item are displayed in the "Certification Investigation Items" area on the right half of the figure, and the level of care required (in the example shown in the figure, "Care Required 1") obtained by applying the investigation results to a tree diagram (not shown) and calculating the time required for care certification is displayed in the "Primary Assessment, etc." area on the left half of the figure. The horizontal bar graph at the bottom of this "Primary Assessment, etc." area shows the standard time required for care certification, and in this example, the time required for care certification obtained by applying it to the tree diagram is "34.5 minutes," which is within the range of care required 1 in the horizontal bar graph, and therefore the primary assessment result is determined to be "Care Required 1."

[0064] The above-mentioned investigation results by the tablet terminal 13 are sent to the management terminal 12 by the data exchange function 12Ai of the management terminal 12 shown in Fig. 7. In the management terminal 12, the investigation results are confirmed on the investigation results confirmation screen 12D shown in Fig. 3 and Fig. 6. Fig. 10 shows the screen configuration of this investigation results confirmation screen 12D.

[0065] In Figure 10 (including A and B), 12Da is the confirmation target survey result selection list, which displays the subject of the currently displayed survey form and the surveyor responsible. The subject can be selected from a pull-down menu. 12Db is the unconfirmed survey form remaining display area, which displays the number of remaining survey forms with the status "surveyed / unconfirmed."

[0066] 12Dc is the special notes display button, which has been tapped to "ON" in Fig. 10A, so special notes are displayed under each item as shown. In contrast to this, in Fig. 10B, the special notes display button 12Dc has been tapped to "OFF," so special notes are not displayed under each item as shown. However, as shown in the figure, a text link "Survey Results (Special Notes)" is displayed for items with special notes, and clicking this displays a small window as shown, where you can view the contents of the special notes. Furthermore, if you tap the "Edit" button 12De in this state, you can edit the special notes in this window.

[0067] 12Dd is the preview button; tapping this displays the survey results in the form of review committee materials (PDF) as shown in Figure 25. 12Df is the "reject button," which is tapped when the questionnaire is to be rejected. Also, selecting the comment mark displays the comment screen. 12Dg is the "approve button," which is tapped when the questionnaire is to be approved. Selecting either the "reject button" 12Df or the "approve button" 12Dg will reverse the display.

[0068] As described above, the nursing care certification home visit survey system according to an embodiment of the present invention can efficiently allocate investigators for nursing care certification, as well as the actual survey activities and processing of their results, and can be configured as a system suitable for digital transformation in local governments.

[0069] Although some embodiments of the present invention have been described, these embodiments are presented as examples and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. These novel embodiments can be implemented in various other forms, and various omissions, substitutions, and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.
