Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to an accident report creation support device, an accident report creation support method, and an accident report creation support program for assisting in creating an accident report accompanying the occurrence of an accident such as a fall accident of a protected person such as a patient or a care recipient protected in a facility such as a medical or care facility.
Background Art
[0002] An accident report in a medical or care facility is an important record for organizing accident causes, formulating recurrence prevention measures, improving responses as an organization, and appropriately explaining to family members and the administration. However, the facility site is under pressure due to chronic staff shortages and overwork, and creating a report after an accident response itself is a significant burden. Currently, it often takes more than 30 minutes to create a report while organizing the facts and considering the expression, which is one of the reasons leading to delays in recording, simplification, and descriptive writing of impressions. And above all, there was a problem that subjective information entered into the accident report because the on-site staff of the facility made free descriptions when the accident was discovered.
[0003] Furthermore, Patent Documents 1 to 4 are known to disclose technologies related to accident report creation. Patent Document 1 discloses a technology that supports the creation of accident reports in a chat format. Patent Document 2 discloses a technology in which AI (artificial intelligence) fills in items in a predetermined accident report format based on the content of speech. Patent Document 3 discloses a technology that reads stored event information and image data regarding events such as falls of subjects within a facility when the event occurs, and creates an accident report. Patent Document 4 discloses a technology that creates an accident report by writing the time of the accident, information of the subject, etc., into an accident report format when an accident event occurs involving a subject under surveillance. In addition, Patent Document 5 by the same applicant discloses a technology that uses artificial intelligence to estimate the activities of daily living (ADL) data of a subject based on the subject's sleep data and basic data. [Prior art documents] [Patent Documents]
[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2025-046356 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2024-167870 [Patent Document 3] Patent No. 7363779 [Patent Document 4] Patent No. 7251476 [Patent Document 5] Patent No. 6994262 [Overview of the project] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]
[0005] The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and aims to provide an accident report creation support device, an accident report creation support method, and an accident report creation support program that support the rapid creation of accident reports based on objective information that excludes subjectivity. [Means for solving the problem]
[0006] To achieve the above objective, a first aspect of the present invention is an accident report creation support device comprising: an accident situation input receiving unit; a prompt creation unit; an accident report creation unit; and an accident report output unit. The accident situation input receiving unit outputs a plurality of items representing the accident situation of a person under the care of a facility as options, and accepts the user's selection of the appropriate accident situation from the plurality of output items. The prompt creation unit creates a prompt that includes the accident situation represented by the selected item and an instruction to create an accident report. The accident report creation unit inputs the created prompt into a generating AI to create the accident report. The accident report output unit outputs the accident report created by the generating AI.
[0007] With this configuration, users such as staff who discover an accident, such as a fall, involving a facility's custodian, can input the accident details by selecting the appropriate item from multiple options displayed on the screen. Based on this input, an accident report is generated by AI. Since users only need to select the appropriate item from the prepared options, rather than writing freely, they can input the accident details quickly, and the input will be objective and free from the user's subjectivity. Furthermore, the prompts include instructions for creating the accident report, so the accident report generated by the AI is not simply a list of the selected accident details, but an accident report in a format appropriate for a report. In other words, an accident report based on objective information, free from the subjectivity of the person who discovered the accident, can be obtained quickly and without delay.
[0008] A second aspect of the present invention is an accident report creation support device according to the first aspect, wherein the plurality of items output by the accident situation input receiving unit include either "accident witnessed" or "accident not witnessed," and a plurality of options for each of these choices.
[0009] This configuration allows for inputting accident details that reflect how the understanding of the accident situation differs depending on whether or not the accident was witnessed.
[0010] A third aspect of the present invention is an accident report creation support device according to the first or second aspect, wherein the instructions for creating an accident report that the prompt creation unit includes in the prompt are of different content depending on the recipient to whom the accident report is to be submitted.
[0011] This configuration allows for obtaining accident reports in a format appropriate to the recipient by varying the prompt depending on who the accident report should be submitted to, such as a facility supervisor, a medical institution, or the family of a person receiving protection.
[0012] A fourth aspect of the present invention is an accident report creation support device according to any of the first to third aspects, wherein the prompt creation unit includes a data acquisition unit and a data addition unit. The data acquisition unit acquires data on at least one of the data related to daily living activities and data related to sleep, which are continuously stored for each protected person, for a predetermined period before and after the accident of a protected person who has had an accident. The data addition unit adds the data acquired by the data acquisition unit to the prompt.
[0013] With this configuration, the accident report will include data on at least one of the following for the protected person who caused the accident: data on daily living activities and data on sleep, covering a predetermined period before and after the accident. This allows for the consideration of specific measures to prevent recurrence, taking into account not only the facts of the day of the accident, but also changes in daily living activities such as eating, or sleep status such as sleep duration.
[0014] A fifth aspect of the present invention is an accident report creation support device according to the fourth aspect, wherein the prompt creation unit further comprises an evaluation instruction addition unit. The evaluation instruction addition unit adds an instruction to the prompt to include in the accident report to be created an evaluation of whether or not there is any particular change in at least one of the data added to the prompt before and after the accident.
[0015] This structure allows for the inclusion of "no particular changes" in the accident report. This enables the organization to continuously record the follow-up observations after the accident, and to maintain records that allow for accountability whether symptoms are discovered later or nothing happens.
[0016] A sixth aspect of the present invention is an accident report creation support method, which includes, as a process executed by a computer, an accident situation input reception process, a prompt creation process, an accident report creation process, and an accident report output process. In the accident situation input reception process, a plurality of items representing the accident situation of a person under the care of a facility are output as options, and the user is accepted to select the appropriate accident situation from the plurality of output items. In the prompt creation process, a prompt is created that includes the accident situation represented by the selected item and an instruction to create an accident report. In the accident report creation process, the created prompt is input to a generating AI to create the accident report. In the accident report output process, the accident report created by the generating AI is output.
[0017] With this configuration, users such as staff who discover an accident, such as a fall, involving a facility's custodian, can input the accident details by selecting the appropriate item from multiple options displayed on the screen. Based on this input, an accident report is generated by AI. Since users only need to select the appropriate item from the prepared options, rather than writing freely, they can input the accident details quickly, and the input will be objective and free from the user's subjectivity. Furthermore, the prompts include instructions for creating the accident report, so the accident report generated by the AI is not simply a list of the selected accident details, but an accident report in a format appropriate for a report. In other words, an accident report based on objective information, free from the subjectivity of the person who discovered the accident, can be obtained quickly and without delay.
[0018] A seventh aspect of the present invention is a method for supporting the creation of an accident report according to the sixth aspect, wherein the plurality of items output by the accident situation input reception process include either "accident witnessed" or "accident not witnessed," and a plurality of options for each of these choices.
[0019] This configuration allows for inputting accident details that reflect how the understanding of the accident situation differs depending on whether or not the accident was witnessed.
[0020] An eighth aspect of the present invention is an accident report preparation support method according to the sixth or seventh aspect, wherein the instructions for preparing the accident report, which are included in the prompt by the prompt creation process, have different content depending on the recipient to whom the accident report is to be submitted.
[0021] This configuration allows for obtaining accident reports in a format appropriate to the recipient by varying the prompt depending on who the accident report should be submitted to, such as a facility supervisor, a medical institution, or the family of a person receiving protection.
[0022] According to the ninth aspect of the present invention, there is provided an accident report creation support method according to any one of the sixth to eighth aspects, wherein the prompt creation process includes a data acquisition process and a data addition process. In the data acquisition process, by accessing at least one of the data related to daily living activities and the data related to sleep that are continuously accumulated for each protected person, at least one of the data of the protected person who has had an accident for a predetermined period before and after the accident occurrence is acquired. In the data addition process, the at least one data acquired by the data acquisition process is added to the prompt.
[0023] According to this configuration, for the protected person who has had an accident, at least one of the data related to daily living activities and the data related to sleep for a predetermined period before and after the accident occurrence is incorporated into the accident report. Therefore, not only the facts on the accident day but also the daily living activities such as eating actions or the transition of the sleep state such as sleep time can be used for considering specific recurrence prevention measures.
[0024] According to the tenth aspect of the present invention, there is provided an accident report creation support method according to the ninth aspect, wherein the prompt creation process further includes an evaluation instruction addition process. In the evaluation instruction addition process, an instruction to include an evaluation of whether there is a particular change before and after the accident in the at least one data added to the prompt in the accident report to be created is added to the prompt.
[0025] According to this configuration, it becomes possible to record in the accident report including "no particular change". Thereby, the follow-up observation after the accident can be continuously recorded as an organization, and when symptoms are found later, a record that can fulfill the explanatory responsibility can be left in either case where nothing happened.
[0026] An eleventh aspect of the present invention is an accident report creation support program, which, when read by a computer, causes the computer that reads the program to execute an accident report creation support method according to any of the sixth to tenth aspects.
[0027] According to this program configuration, a method for supporting the creation of an accident report according to any of the 6th to 10th aspects can be implemented by a computer. [Effects of the Invention]
[0028] As described above, the present invention provides an accident report creation support device, an accident report creation support method, and an accident report creation support program that assist in the rapid creation of accident reports based on objective information that eliminates subjectivity. [Brief explanation of the drawing]
[0029] [Figure 1] This figure illustrates the configuration of an accident report creation support system, including an accident report creation support device according to one embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 2] Figure 1 is a block diagram illustrating the configuration of the accident report creation support device. [Figure 3] Figure 2 is a flowchart illustrating the processing flow of the accident report creation support method implemented by the accident report creation support device shown as an example. [Modes for carrying out the invention]
[0030] Figure 1 illustrates the configuration of an accident report creation support system including an accident report creation support device according to one embodiment of the present invention. In addition to the accident report creation support device 101, this accident report creation support system 100 includes a reference data storage device 121, a sleep sensor 1, a Wi-Fi router 3, a network 5, and servers 7, 9, 12, and 13.
[0031] The accident report creation support device 101 is a device that assists in the creation of an accident report when an accident such as a fall occurs to a person under the care of a facility 11. The accident report creation support device 101 outputs multiple items that describe the accident situation as options to a display screen 8 or the like, accepts selections from the device user, such as the person who discovered the accident, incorporates the results into a prompt, and requests the generating AI to create an accident report. In this way, the accident report creation support device 101 enables the rapid creation of an accident report based on objective information that eliminates the subjective opinions of the person who discovered the accident.
[0032] The accident report creation support device 101 extracts data from before and after the accident from the daily living activities (ADL) data and sleep data of the protected person 11, which are continuously generated and stored by the reference data storage device 121, and requests the generating AI to create an accident report in addition to the data provided as a prompt. As a result, this data is incorporated into the accident report, making it possible to consider specific measures to prevent recurrence, taking into account not only the facts of the day of the accident, but also the changes in daily living activities such as eating, and the changes in sleep status such as sleep duration. The daily living activities (ADL) data is data related to the daily living activities of the protected person 11, represented by the evaluation items defined in the Functional Independence Measure (FIM).
[0033] In the illustrated example, the accident report creation support device 101 is integrated into the computer 10. For example, by installing and starting a specific application on the computer 10, the processing units (processors) of the computer 10, such as the central processing unit (CPU), function as the accident report creation support device 101. Alternatively, a specific program for providing services can be installed on the server 12 connected to the network 5, and the computer 10 can access the server 12 and utilize that program in the form of an ASP (Application Service Provider) or SaaS (Software as a Service) to realize the functionality of the accident report creation support device 101. In this case, the accident report creation support device 101 will be built on the server 12.
[0034] The reference data storage device 121 continuously generates and stores data on the daily living activities of the facility's protected persons 11 based on their sleep data and basic data. The sleep data includes data related to the protected persons' sleep, such as respiration, pulse rate, sleep duration, sleep rhythm, getting out of bed, and getting back into bed, and this data is acquired by the sleep sensor 1. The basic data includes data related to the protected persons' physical condition, such as their age, gender, height, and weight, and is acquired, for example, through a doctor's diagnosis.
[0035] The reference data storage device 121 can generate daily living activity data of the protected person 11 based on sleep data and basic data by using trained artificial intelligence. Its configuration and functions are disclosed in detail in Patent Document 5 as the configuration and functions of an "occupational therapy support device". The reference data storage device 121 stores sleep data along with daily living activity data. Patent Document 5 also clarifies that the risk of falls of the subject can be estimated as one item of the daily living activity data (paragraphs 0015, 0044, etc. of the specification in the same document; Figure 3(c)). The reference data storage device 121 can also include the risk of falls of the protected person 11 in the daily living activity data it stores.
[0036] In the illustrated example, the reference data storage device 121 is integrated into the computer 20. Similar to the accident report creation support device 101, the computer 20 can function as the reference data storage device 121 by installing and launching a specific application. Alternatively, the computer 20 can access a server 12 on which a specific program is installed and utilize that program in the form of ASP or SaaS to realize the functionality of the reference data storage device 121. The reference data storage device 121 continuously stores daily living activity data and sleep data for each protected person 11, for example, in a storage medium built into the computer 20.
[0037] In the illustrated example, the protected persons 11 are assumed to be a large number of people living in a nursing home or other care facility, and the computers 10 and 20 are assumed to be managed by the care facility. In the illustrated example, computer 10 is assumed to be a tablet computer and computer 20 is assumed to be a personal computer (PC), but both may be other types of computers, such as small portable terminals like smartphones. Furthermore, the accident report creation support device 101 and the reference data storage device 121 may be constructed using a single computer.
[0038] The sleep sensor 1 is a sensor that automatically acquires sleep data from the person being cared for 11 and has a communication function to transmit the acquired data wirelessly or by other means. The sleep data includes data related to the person's sleep, such as sleep duration, number of times turning over in bed, breathing while sleeping, and pulse rate. In the illustrated example, the sleep sensor 1 is a mat-shaped sensor used by placing it under the bedding on which the person being cared for 11 lies down. Sleep sensors 1 of this form are already commercially available and well known.
[0039] The sleep sensor 1 is connected to, for example, a Wi-Fi router 3. The Wi-Fi router 3 can connect the sleep sensors 1 used by multiple protected persons 11 to a reference data storage device 121 via the facility's LAN (Local Area Network; for example, wireless LAN), or to an external network 5. In the latter case, the reference data storage device 121 can receive the sleep data transmitted by the sleep sensor 1 via the network 5. In the illustrated example, the network 5 is the internet. If the sleep sensor 1 has the functionality of, for example, a built-in Wi-Fi router 3, it can also be connected directly to the network 5.
[0040] The accident report creation support device 101 can also connect to the reference data storage device 121 via the Wi-Fi router 3, or to an external network 5. In the latter case, the accident report creation support device 101 can acquire the daily living activity data and sleep data stored in the reference data storage device 121 via the network 5.
[0041] The accident report creation support device 101 can also access server 9 via network 5. Server 9 is an AI server that makes the generation AI available. The accident report creation support device 101 creates appropriate prompts and causes the generation AI provided by server 9 to create the accident report. If the accident report creation support device 101 has the functionality of a Wi-Fi router 3 built in, for example, it can also connect directly to network 5.
[0042] Server 7 is a server owned by a facility such as a hospital, which holds basic data such as the medical records of the protected person 11, and is connected to network 5. Server 7 may also be owned by an external vendor and used by a facility such as a hospital. The accident report creation support device 101 can obtain basic data such as the age and medical history of the protected person 11 by accessing server 7. Information leakage can be prevented by requiring, for example, the input of an identification code (ID) and password during communication between the accident report creation support device 101 and server 7. Basic data may also be entered by the administrator or operator of the accident report creation support device 101, rather than through communication with server 7.
[0043] Server 13 is an AI server that has been built to make a learnable artificial intelligence (AI) available. The reference data storage device 121 accesses Server 13 via Network 5 and trains the AI. Then, the reference data storage device 121 inputs the sleep data and basic data of the protected person 11 into the trained AI to estimate daily living activity data. The AI used by the reference data storage device 121 may be built on Computer 20 as part of the reference data storage device 121, instead of being built on Server 13, or it may be built on Computer 20 separately from the reference data storage device 121 so that the reference data storage device 121 can access it.
[0044] Figure 2 is a block diagram illustrating the configuration of the accident report creation support device 101. Figure 3 is a flowchart illustrating the processing flow of the accident report creation support method implemented by the accident report creation support device 101. The accident report creation support device 101 includes an interface 41, an accident situation input receiving unit 43, a prompt creation unit 45, an accident report creation unit 47, and an accident report output unit 49. The prompt creation unit 45 includes a data acquisition unit 51, a data addition unit 53, and an evaluation instruction addition unit 55.
[0045] Interface 41 is a device component that enables communication between the accident report creation support device 101 itself and external devices according to a predetermined protocol for each external device. Communication between the accident report creation support device 101 and output devices such as the Wi-Fi router 3, servers 7, 9, and 12, the computer 10's own display screen 8, and input devices such as the touch panel attached to the display screen 8 is performed through interface 41.
[0046] The accident situation input receiving unit 43 outputs several items representing the accident situation of the protected person 11 as options via the interface 41 to, for example, the touch panel display screen 8 of the computer 10, and accepts the selection of the accident situation from the output items, such as the person who discovered the accident (step S1). The prompt creation unit 45 creates a prompt that includes the accident situation represented by the accepted selection and instructions to create an accident report (step S3). The accident report creation unit 47 inputs the created prompt to the generation AI provided by the server 9 via the interface 41, causing it to create an accident report (step S5). The accident report output unit 49 outputs the accident report created by the generation AI via the interface 41 to, for example, the display screen 8 of the computer 10 (step S7).
[0047] In the prompt creation process of step S3, the data acquisition unit 51 acquires data on daily living activities and sleep data for a protected person 11 who has had an accident, for a predetermined period before and after the accident, by accessing the data on daily living activities and sleep data, which are continuously stored for each protected person 11 in the storage medium of the computer 20, for example, through the interface 41 (step S11). The data addition unit 53 adds the data acquired by the data acquisition unit 51 to the prompt (step S13). The evaluation instruction addition unit 55 further adds an instruction to the prompt to include an evaluation of whether or not there are any particular changes in the data added to the prompt before and after the accident in the accident report to be created (step S15).
[0048] Table 1 shows representative examples of Activities of Daily Living (ADL) data stored by the reference data storage device 121, illustrating all 18 evaluation items defined in the Functional Independence Measure (FIM). The items related to motor function are 13 items: eating, grooming, bathing, dressing (top), dressing (bottom), toileting, urination management, defecation management, transfer (bed), transfer (to toilet), transfer (bathtub), mobility (walking), and mobility (stairs). The items related to cognitive function are 5 items: comprehension, expression, social interaction, problem solving, and memory. The evaluation value for each item is expressed as a 7-point scale.
[0049] [Table 1]
[0050] According to the accident report creation support device 101 (Figure 2) or accident report creation support method (Figure 3), a user such as a staff member who discovers an accident such as a fall among the facility's protected persons 11 can input the accident situation by selecting the appropriate accident situation from multiple items displayed as options on the display screen 8, etc., and an accident report is created by AI based on this input. Since the user only needs to select the appropriate item from the prepared options and does not need to write freely, the accident situation can be entered in a short time, and the input of the accident situation is free from the user's subjectivity. In addition, since the prompt includes instructions for creating the accident report, the accident report created by the generating AI is not merely a list of the selected accident situation, but an accident report in a format appropriate for a report. In other words, an accident report based on objective information free from the subjectivity of the person who discovered the accident can be obtained quickly without taking much time.
[0051] Furthermore, for the ward 11 who caused the accident, data on daily living activities and sleep data for a specified period before and after the accident will be included in the accident report. This allows for the consideration of specific measures to prevent recurrence, taking into account not only the facts of the day of the accident, but also the changes in daily living activities such as eating, and sleep status such as sleep duration. In addition, an evaluation of whether or not there were any particular changes in this data before and after the accident, for example, "no particular changes," will be recorded in the accident report. This makes it possible to leave a record that allows for accountability in both cases, whether symptoms are discovered later or nothing happens.
[0052] In the following, specific examples are given of (1) the selection items that represent the accident situation, which the accident situation input receiving unit 43 outputs to the display screen 8 etc. in the accident situation input receiving process (step S1), (2) the prompts created by the prompt creation unit 45 in the prompt creation process (step S3), and (3) the accident report output by the accident report output unit 49 in the accident report output process (step S7). In the following examples, the accidents are limited to falls.
[0053] [1. Accident situation input acceptance processing (Step S1)] When a user of the accident report creation support device 101, such as a facility staff member who discovered the fall, starts up the accident report creation support device 101, for example, by bringing a computer 10 to the discovery site, the accident situation input reception unit 43 accesses the reference data storage device 121 to obtain the names of all protected persons 11 and all facility staff members in the facility, and outputs these names on the display screen 8.
[0054] The user can identify the name of the person under protection 11 whose accident was discovered and the name of the staff member who discovered the accident by selecting them on the touch panel attached to the display screen 8. Since there is no room for subjectivity in this identification, the user may also manually enter these names on the touch panel. The accident situation input reception unit 43 obtains the date of birth and gender of the identified person under protection 11 by accessing the reference data storage device 121 and adds them to the name information as information related to the accident situation. In this way, the reference data storage device 121 may also store the basic information of the person under protection 11.
[0055] Next, the accident situation input reception unit 43 outputs the selection items exemplified in Table 2 or Table 3 to the display screen 8. The first selection item that appears is the answer to the question, "Did you witness the moment of the fall?". Table 2 exemplifies the selection items after the user selects "Yes", and Table 3 exemplifies the selection items after the user selects "No". The understanding of the accident situation generally differs depending on whether or not the accident was witnessed. The examples in Tables 2 and 3 reflect this and include different selection items. That is, if "Yes" is selected, the user is asked to select the date and time the accident occurred, while if "No" is selected, the user is asked to select the date and time the accident was discovered.
[0056] [Table 2]
[0057] [Table 3]
[0058] Furthermore, if the answer to the question "Did you witness the moment of the fall?" is "Yes," the options exemplified in Tables 4 and 5 will be displayed. If the answer is "No," the options exemplified in Table 6 will be displayed.
[0059] [Table 4]
[0060] [Table 5]
[0061] [Table 6]
[0062] Next, regardless of whether or not an eyewitness account was found, the following selection options, as exemplified in Table 7, will be displayed.
[0063] [Table 7]
[0064] If "Yes" is selected in response to the question "Did the patient complain of pain?" as exemplified in Table 7, the selection options exemplified in Table 8 will be displayed.
[0065] [Table 8]
[0066] If "No" is selected for the question "Did the patient complain of pain?" as exemplified in Table 7, and "Yes" is selected for the question "Were any external injuries or bleeding observed?", the selection options exemplified in Table 9 will be displayed.
[0067] [Table 9]
[0068] Next, regardless of whether or not an eyewitness account was found, the following selection options are displayed as examples in Tables 10 and 11.
[0069] [Table 10]
[0070] [Table 11]
[0071] Next, if trauma or bleeding is detected, the following selection options will be displayed as shown in Table 12.
[0072] [Table 12]
[0073] Next, in order to prepare an accident report for the families of the 11 protected persons whose accidents were discovered, they will need to make selections from the options exemplified in Table 13.
[0074] [Table 13]
[0075] Next, in order to prepare the accident report, which is the final report within the facility, it is necessary to select from the options shown in Tables 14 to 16.
[0076] [Table 14]
[0077] [Table 15]
[0078] [Table 16]
[0079] [Table 17]
[0080] [2. Prompt creation process (Step S3)] When a user of the accident report creation support device 101, such as a facility staff member who discovered the fall, completes the selection of items related to the accident situation, the prompt creation unit 45 executes the prompt creation process (step S3). Based on the items selected by the user, the prompt creation unit 45 creates a prompt that includes the accident situation and instructions for creating an accident report. An example of prompt creation is shown below. In the example, "app" refers to the reference data storage device 121.
[0081] "Prompt Example 1" is an example of a prompt that asks the generating AI to create an accident report that should be reported to the facility's supervisor or shared with the entire facility.
[0082] "Prompt Example 2" is an example of a prompt requesting the creation of an accident report to be submitted to a medical institution, and illustrates the part of "Prompt Example 1" that should be replaced with the "<Prompt for Medical Institutions>" to indicate the "<Prompt for Internal Sharing>" part.
[0083] "Prompt Example 3" is an example of a prompt requesting that the families of the protected 11 prepare an accident report to be submitted, and it exemplifies the "Family Prompt" portion of "Prompt Example 1" that should be replaced with the "Internal Sharing Prompt".

[0091] (2-4. Prompt Example 4) The following is an example of a prompt for creating an accident report, which serves as the final report within the facility. The example prompt requests that the accident report include an evaluation of whether or not there were any significant changes in daily living activity data and sleep data before and after the accident. -------------------- <Prompt to create final report> -------------------------------- I'll compile everything I've gathered so far into a final report for the facility. Instead of organizing the "writing style," organize it as a report, item by item in brackets. Organize each item in the brackets. <Accident Summary> <Situation and countermeasures> Please summarize the information for internal sharing, contacting medical institutions, and contacting family members. Also, please organize the information about the options you received from contacting your family in writing. There are checkboxes in the app for this. ■ means selected. □ means not selected. Options ■Understanding of the explanation was achieved. ■The decision has been made not to seek medical attention. ■ We decided to continue observing the situation. ■We have decided to contact you again once the situation changes. □We have decided to provide an explanation at a later date. <Trauma and Vital Signs> <Fall risk and FIM trends> This includes an assessment of whether or not any significant changes were observed before and after the accident. <Relationship with sleep / wake state> Please organize the data on sleep duration, getting out of bed (awake state), and getting out of bed, and consider any possible connections to this accident. This includes an assessment of whether or not any significant changes were observed before and after the accident. <Cause analysis and measures to prevent recurrence> Please do not simply transcribe the following content, but also flesh out the text by incorporating objective information and the app's estimation results. Perspectives for confirmation and reflection We will organize the information focusing on the following points. Were the methods of communication and supervision appropriate? Was sufficient consideration given to the environment (traffic flow, flooring, placement of items, etc.)? Were the staffing and division of roles appropriate during that time period? • When this issue overlapped with other matters, were the priority and timing of the response appropriate? Direction of response If any areas for improvement are identified during the review and assessment process, these will be identified as organizational challenges, and used to revise future responses and operations. Perspectives for confirmation and reflection We will organize the information focusing on the following points. What actions or circumstances led to the fall? Were there any influences from environmental factors (floor surface, lighting, traffic flow, item placement, etc.)? Was the timing of the verbal encouragement, monitoring, and response appropriate? • What were the staffing levels and operational conditions like during that time period? Direction of response From a review and reflection perspective, if areas for improvement are identified in responses or environmental considerations, we will organize the details and use them to improve the organization as a whole.
[0092] [3. Accident report output processing (Step S7)] An example of an accident report, which is generated by the AI as the final report within the facility and output by the accident report output unit 49, is shown below.
[0093] ------------------------------ <Example of a final report> --------------------------------------------- <Accident Summary> At 3:05 AM on January 8, 2026, resident Mr. / Ms. XX XX was found lying on the floor next to the bed in their room. No one directly witnessed the moment he collapsed. The last time the vehicle was confirmed to be safe was around midnight that same day, during a regular patrol. Upon discovery, the patient complained of knee pain, and swelling and redness were observed in the knee area. No bleeding was detected. While the subject responded quickly to calls, a conversation could not be formed. The subject gave irrelevant answers to questions and repeated the same phrases, making it difficult to understand what it was saying. <Situation and countermeasures> After the discovery, internal sharing was carried out in accordance with the on-call system established by the corporation. We also contacted medical institutions and shared the situation. As a result, we decided not to conduct any consultations or home visits at this time, and will continue to monitor the patient's condition within the facility. We promptly contacted the family and explained the circumstances of the discovery, the current condition, and our plan for future action. The family understood the explanation. We have obtained consent for the following policy: not to seek medical attention, to continue monitoring the situation, and to contact you again if there are any changes in the situation. The option of providing further explanations at a later date has not been chosen. <Trauma and Vital Signs> In terms of trauma, swelling and redness were observed in the knee area, but no external bleeding was confirmed. Although she was not fully conscious when found, she was still able to respond to calls. Since no findings indicating a rapid change in the patient's overall condition have been observed at this time, we have decided to continue monitoring the patient. <Fall risk and FIM trends> The app's assessment of the risk of falling on the day of the accident was "dangerous." In the period immediately preceding the day of the accident, the individual had been shown to be at high risk of falling. On the other hand, no significant changes were observed in the FIM (Functional Independence Measure) scores (transfer, mobility, and social awareness) estimated by the app throughout the period. No significant changes were observed before or after the accident. <Relationship with sleep / wake state> Over the past week, sleep duration has generally remained in the 5-6 hour range, with fluctuations in the number of awakenings from day to day. On the day of the accident, the patient was waking up frequently, suggesting that the conditions were such that nighttime awakenings and getting out of bed were likely to occur. While it cannot be denied that these fluctuations in sleep-wake states may have affected nocturnal behavior, judgment, and stability of actions, a direct causal relationship cannot be definitively established, and this should be considered merely a possible correlation. No significant changes were observed before or after the accident. <Cause analysis and measures to prevent recurrence> On the day of the accident, the app's fall risk assessment indicated a "dangerous" level, suggesting that there may have been some change in motor skills or cognitive abilities, potentially increasing the risk of falling. Given these circumstances, this incident should be categorized as an event that occurred within a certain degree of foreseeability. <Perspectives for confirmation and reflection> • Were the methods of checking on and monitoring during nighttime hours appropriate? Was sufficient consideration given to the flow of movement within the living space and around the bed, the floor surface, and the arrangement of items? • Were the staffing and division of roles appropriate during that time period? • Were the priorities and timing of responses appropriate when they overlapped with other tasks? <Direction of response> Based on the above perspectives, we will review the situation and identify areas that require improvement. These will be addressed as organizational issues rather than individual challenges, leading to a review of our nighttime monitoring methods and operations. On the other hand, for aspects where the response and environmental considerations were deemed sufficient, we will share that information and use it as a standard response for the future. <Summary> In this case, the series of actions taken—internal sharing, confirmation of whether consultation with a medical institution was necessary, and contact with the family—were carried out appropriately, and it can be concluded that the organization was able to take the necessary actions. By using the objective status information and history provided by the app to organize and review the progress, we aim to prevent future recurrences and improve our response capabilities.
