This prevents the spread of pathogens or odors caused by bringing soiled clothing or other contaminated items into the shared passageway.

As an easily expandable module in a smart bedside wall system in a senior welfare facility according to one embodiment, the easily expandable module in a smart bedside wall system in a senior welfare facility includes a main frame of a plurality of modules selectively attached and detached between a bed and a wall, the easily expandable module in a smart bedside wall system in a senior welfare facility is a medical oxygen supply port module, as an auxiliary facility necessary for medical treatment and treatment (or nursing activities) in a ward anywhere (including an intensive care unit, an emergency room), since an outlet module, a switch module, a vacuum tank module, a LAN port module, a shelf or cabinet module, a storage box module, a monitoring module can be provided, it can be conveniently and selectively installed in a nursing facility, a private residence or a sanatorium, it can expand the selection range of consumers, provide convenience, and the bed fixed to the end wall can be conveniently detached and removed from the end wall at any time when it is necessary to use, so that the bed can be conveniently detached or assembled from the bed at any time, so that the bed user does not need to be moved from the bed to the bed, saving time and manpower, and can save costs. It is effective.

To provide a device, a program and a method for reducing work errors at a site such as a medical institution or a nursing facility by quickly notifying a worker of cautions by simple work.SOLUTION: A care worker 11 inputs the name of the aged person and the kind of work (bathing assistance or the like) by voice from a microphone. A notice management device specifies the notice of the aged person at the time of taking a bath, and transmits it to an earphone 12 used by a care worker. Accordingly, it is possible to reduce mistakes during the work. The important notice management apparatus 1 transmits the identification information of the elderly person to the earphones 12 used by the worker 11. Thus, the aged person to be assisted is not mistaken. Furthermore, since the information for promoting a conversation with the elderly person is transmitted, communication with the elderly person to be assisted can be made smooth. The notice is also transmitted to the earphone used by the checker. As a result, it is possible to correct the erroneous notes.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

An ecosystem and platform for use within Long Term Care Facilities (LTCFs) enhances flow of accurate, usable medical data, and improves work atmosphere within typical nursing homes. These features include but are not limited to changes to call lights, changes to management of bed elevation, changes to data management, and changes to how nursing home workers and staff are compensated and incentivized. This ecosystem and platform leverages technology advances to be more effective in a nursing home environment. These features are all tied together to communicate directly to the staff via a single handheld device with data flowing through a centralized information hub that identifies patient needs.
