Summary of the Invention
Problems to be Solved by the Invention
[0003] An object of the present invention is to reliably perform task management so that caregivers do not forget to implement support items for facility users, and in particular, it is a nursing task management system that can record the user's reaction to the implemented support in a daily report.
Means for Solving the Problems
[0004] The care task management system of the present invention consists of a management device and a tablet carried by the caregiver during support. The management device has a caregiver memory means for storing the caregiver's workdays, a service menu memory means for storing the user's support menu, a user memory means for storing the user's schedule for the day, and a control means for determining whether or not it is the caregiver's workday. The tablet consists of a tablet input device for inputting the implementation of support items, a tablet display device for displaying whether or not a task has been performed, and a tablet body. The tablet body has an indicator memory means for storing indicators of the user's condition during support, and a control means for selecting an appropriate indicator from the indicator comment memory means after support has been provided and creating a daily report. The created daily report is transmitted to the management device via a wireless transmission means. [Effects of the Invention]
[0005] Because the support tasks are divided into individual items, the risk of forgetting tasks is reduced. Furthermore, since the support details for each item are memorized, reports can be easily created. [Brief explanation of the drawing]
[0006] [Figure 1] Control device configuration diagram [Figure 2] Tablet configuration diagram [Figure 3] Work schedule [Figure 4] User schedule [Figure 5] Medication chart [Figure 6] Baggage list [Figure 7] Indicator Commentary Table [Figure 8] Daily report memory table [Figure 9] Evaluation form [Figure 10] Caregiver's Response Chart [Figure 11] Management Method Flowchart [Figure 12] Tablet Flowchart [Modes for carrying out the invention]
[0008] The embodiments for carrying out the invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
[0009] Figure 1 shows the configuration diagram of the management device. The management device 1 consists of a management device main unit 10 connected to an input device 2, a display device 3, and a printing device 4. The management device main unit 10 consists of an I / F 11, a control means 12, a timing means 13, a storage means 14, and a wireless transmission / reception means 15 that sends and receives signals to and from the tablet 6. The storage means 14 consists of a caregiver storage means 141 that stores the caregiver's work schedule, a user storage means 142 that stores the user's schedule, a service menu storage means 143 that stores care support services, and a daily report storage means 144 that stores daily reports sent from the tablet.
[0010] Figure 2 shows the tablet configuration diagram. The tablet 6 consists of a tablet input device 7, a tablet display device 8, and a tablet body 60. The tablet body 60 consists of a tablet I / F 61, a control means 62, a timing means 63, a tablet storage means 64, a daily report storage means 65 that stores the daily implementation status of the caregiver's support for the user, an indicator comment means 66 that standardizes the user's reaction when support is provided, and a wireless transceiver 67 that wirelessly transmits and receives data from the tablet 6 to the management device 1. The tablet storage means 64 consists of a caregiver storage means 641 that stores the caregiver's work schedule, a user storage means 642 that stores the services each user receives, a service menu storage means 643 that stores support services, and a caregiver response table storage means 644 that stores the content of responses when the caregiver cannot provide support within a predetermined time.
[0011] Figure 3 shows the caregiver work schedule 100. This figure shows a four-shift system (1st shift: early shift, 2nd shift: day shift, 3rd shift: late shift, 4th shift: night shift). For example, caregiver A is scheduled for an early shift on September 1st and a late shift on September 2nd. Caregiver C is scheduled for a day shift on September 1st and a night shift on September 2nd. If a caregiver does not report to work, it is left blank.
[0012] The user's schedule 110 is shown in Figure 4. In this facility, the 2nd floor provides short-stay support, while the 3rd and 4th floors provide support at home. In this figure, 2 indicates the 2nd floor (short stay), 3 indicates the 3rd floor, and 4 indicates the 4th floor. 3 and 4 indicate receiving support at home. For example, it shows that user "A" stays for two nights and three days on September 1st and September 2nd on the 2nd floor, and user "I" uses home support on September 1st and September 3rd.
[0013] The medication list 120 is shown in Figure 5. The user's medication details are divided by morning, noon, evening, and specified times. For example, it shows that user "A" takes 1 tablet of drug X, 3 tablets of drug Y, and 1 tablet of drug Z at 17:30 in the morning.
[0014] The list of the user's belongings 130 is shown in Figure 6. It is a list for checking belongings when going out or leaving the facility. For example, the belongings of user "A" are an address book, medicine, wallet, change of clothes, and a notebook. When the caregiver sends the user "A" to the destination, the caregiver checks the necessary belongings. If user "A" doesn't need something, the caregiver checks the locker, living room, refrigerator, etc. shown in the inspection section and clearly states the inspection content for each inspection section. Note that the list of belongings is different for each user, and the inspection sections are also different.
[0015] The indicator comment list 140 is shown in Figure 7. It is a simplified diagram of the user's reaction during support. For example, when the user refuses support, such as swatting away the caregiver's hand during support, select 1 for refusal. When the user does not cooperate during support, select 2 for not interested. When the user shouts or shows signs of excitement during support, select 3 for irritated. When behaviors such as biting or grabbing are seen during support, select 4 for harm to others.
[0016] If there was no response in action to the support but there was a response such as "um", select response 5. If there was an act of urinating in the living space by showing the genitals in response to the support, select 6 for urination. If there was an act of defecating in the living space by showing the genitals in response to the support, select 7 for fecal incontinence. If there was incontinence in response to the support, select 8 for incontinence. If there was a seizure during the support, select 9 for seizure.
[0017] If there was self-harm behavior such as hitting one's own face during the support, select 10 for self-harm. If there was an act of breaking the facilities' equipment during the support, select 11 for breaking things. If there was a situation of moving to another floor during the support, select 12 for floor movement. If there was a panic situation with non-substitutability and urgency and the person was restrained during the support, select 13 for restraint. If there was an act of interfering with other users' meals during the support, select 14 for stealing food. If there was an act of taking out the facilities' equipment during the support, select 15 for stealing items. What If the person died due to some circumstances, select 16 for death. In case of multiple applicable situations, list the applicable numbers multiple times. If there is no item corresponding to these reaction indicators, add items sequentially.
[0018] The daily report memory table 150 is shown in Figure 8. The daily report based on the support for each user is memorized from September 1st to September 30th. For example, in the daily report of "a" type, during the breakfast support on September 1st, the user was not interested and also had incontinence, so the index comments 2 and 8 are recorded.
[0019] The evaluation table 160 for the current month (September) is shown in Figure 9. As a result of the daily report memory table 150, the index comments 2 and 8, which are the "a" type of reactions during the meal support, are automatically transferred. Since the medication support and luggage support are carried out normally, they are blank.
[0020] Figure 10 shows the caregiver response chart, which illustrates the reasons why a caregiver may be unable to perform a user support item within the predetermined time. For example, if the caregiver forgets about the support item itself, it is marked as 1. Forgetfulness. If the previous support item takes too long and cannot be completed within the time allotted for the current support item, it is marked as 2. If the previous response took too long, or if the user's cooperation was not obtained during the support, it is marked as 3. The user's cooperation was not obtained. These are clearly indicated and stored in the caregiver response chart storage means 644.
[0021] The operation of the management device 10 is explained in Figure 11. When a caregiver, who is an employee, arrives at work, they enter their employee code via the input device 2 (Step 1). The employee code is transmitted to the control means 12 via the I / F 11. The control means 12 reads the caregiver work schedule 100 (Figure 3) from the caregiver storage means 141 and determines whether the entered employee code is for a worker on that day (Step 2). If the employee is not listed in the caregiver work schedule 100, the display device 3 displays an "out of work hours" message (Step 3). The control means 12 obtains time information from the timing means 13 and determines whether it is a workday but before the scheduled arrival time (Step 4). If the arrival time has passed, the display device 3 displays a "late arrival" message (Step 5).
[0022] Next, the control means 12 obtains user information (Figure 4) from the user memory means 142, which contains the details of the support provided to each user receiving care support on their respective schedules (Step 6). This user information allows the display device 3 to identify the users each caregiver is responsible for (Step 7). If the caregiver needs to make corrections to the support items for the users they are responsible for (Step 8), they make the corrections via the input device 2 (Step 9). The corrected user information is displayed on the display device 3 (Step 10), and if any corrections are missed, the process returns to Step 9 (Step 11). If no corrections are missed, the user information is transmitted to the caregiver's tablet 6 via the wireless transmission / reception means 15 (Step 12). From this point onward, the caregiver inputs the support provided on the tablet 6. A report (Figure 9) containing a daily support report for each user and a summary for the current month is transmitted from the tablet 6 to the control means 12 via WIFI 5 and the wireless transmission / reception means 15 (Step 13). The control means 12 stores the transmitted daily reports in the daily report memory means 144. When a report is received, the control means 12 determines whether it is the end of the month or not (Step 15). If it's the end of the month, print a report for each user (Step 16). If it's not the end of the month, return to Step 13.
[0023] Next, the operation of tablet 6 will be explained in Figure 12. The caregiver turns on tablet 6. The control means 62 receives user information from management device 1 via WIFI 5 and wireless transceiver 67 (Step 20). This user is displayed on tablet display device 8 (Step 21). The control means 62 receives time information from timing means 63 and, when the support time listed in the user information arrives (Step 22), determines the corresponding support item. For example, it determines whether it is mealtime or not (Step 23), medication time or not (Step 24), or luggage check time or not (Step 25). When the time for each support item arrives, the corresponding support item is displayed on tablet display device 8, and the items for mealtime, medication time, and luggage time light up (Step 26). When the caregiver has performed each support item, they press the "Perform" button on tablet input device 7 to indicate that it has been performed (Step 27). The caregiver also determines whether there are any unperformed support items listed in the user information (Step 28). If there are unperformed items (items for which the "Perform" button has not been pressed), the process returns to Step 22. Next, determine whether the corresponding support items were carried out within the allotted time (Step 29). If all the support items were carried out within the allotted time, turn off all the lights for the support items (Step 30).
[0024] If the support item is not carried out within the allotted time, the control means 62 selects and inputs the relevant reason from the caregiver response table storage means 644 (Step 31). Next, the caregiver selects and inputs the user's reaction during support from the indicator comment table (Figure 7) (Step 32). In this way, a daily report for each user (Figure 8) is created (Step 33). The created daily report is stored in the daily report storage means 65 (Step 34). Then, this daily report is transmitted to the management device 1 (Step 35). [Explanation of Symbols]
[0025] In this embodiment, the daily report was sent from the tablet 6 to the management device 1. However, the tablet 6 may store the daily and monthly reports for the current month and send them to the management device 1 at the end of the month.
