The CPU 24 stores a sensor 38 such as an infrared sensor for detecting that the returning patient is approaching the returning patient reception information processing device 22, data stored in the medical examination ticket M, and data by communication with the host computer 20. A memory 40 for storing and an input setting unit 42 for setting predetermined information are connected to a ROM (not shown) in the CPU 24.

Next, the operation of the configuration of this embodiment will be described.

3 and 4 are flowcharts showing the processing procedure in this operation. In FIG. 3, first, the operation setting is performed from the input setting unit 42, and the two-sided display 28
Displays that it is being handled (step S11).

Next, the input setting unit 42 sets the automatic activation by the approach of the returning patient (step S12). When this operation starts, a consultation department selection screen is displayed on the display unit 36.
FIG. 5 shows this examination department selection screen.

In FIG. 5, the consultation department selection screen is displayed with a key on the touch panel 34, that is, "internal medicine, surgery, pediatrics, otolaryngology, ophthalmology, dentistry, dermatology, plastic surgery department, which allows the returning patient to designate a desired consultation department. Brain surgery, neurology, gynecology "
Consultation department key group T and "Cancel", "Correction" and "Confirm"
The function selection key group R is displayed.

FIG. 6 shows the key logical numbers corresponding to the medical examination departments of the medical examination department key group T and the medical examination department codes. Figure 6
The key logical numbers AA, BB shown in FIG. 5 of the medical examination department key group T "internal medicine, surgery, pediatrics, otolaryngology, ophthalmology, dentistry, dermatology, plastic surgery, neurosurgery, neurology, gynecology". CC,
For DD, EE, FF, GG, HH, II, JJ, KK, the examination department code is "00, 01, 02, 0".
3,04,05,06,07,08,09,10 ".

The key logical number and the consultation department code can be changed. For example, it is changed according to the scale of the medical information processing system of the medical institution to be installed.

After that, the sensor 38 senses the approach of the returning patient, and the respective units in the returning patient information processing apparatus 22 start operating by the activation control of the CPU 24 (step S13).

Next, the examination ticket M is inserted into the examination ticket reading section 30, and the stored data of the examination ticket M is read.

After storing in the examination ticket information save area in the memory 40, a desired examination department from the examination department key group T designated by the returning patient, for example, "internal medicine", "surgery", "ophthalmology", " The selection of "plastic surgery" is judged (step S1.
4). If you cannot confirm your choice, repeat the steps here.

Further, when the stored data of the medical examination ticket M of the returning patient is read and the selection of the desired medical examination department can be confirmed from the medical examination department key group T, "internal medicine" and "surgery" described below.
The examination department codes of "ophthalmology" and "plastic surgery" are stored in the examination department information save area in the memory 40, and the process proceeds (step S1).
4). In this case, the display colors of “internal medicine”, “surgery”, “ophthalmology”, and “plastic surgery” are reversed to facilitate visual observation.

Then, an instruction of “cancel” on the examination department selection screen from the input setting unit 42, that is, interruption of reading of data stored in the examination ticket M by the examination ticket reading unit 30 by the returning patient or examination group key group T It is determined whether or not an instruction to cancel the selection of the desired medical examination department has been issued (step S15).

Here, in the case of Yes for which the interruption is instructed,
CPU for clearing the examination department information save area in the memory 40
It is executed by the instruction of 24 (step S16).

Subsequently, the ejection and return of the examination ticket M inserted in the examination ticket reading section 30 is executed under the control of the CPU 24. After this, the process returns to step S11 and the initial state is set (step S17).

When "cancel" is not instructed in step S15, it is determined whether or not "correction" in the function selection key group R is instructed (step S18). If "correction" is instructed here, the display color is reversed with this instruction (step S19).

Then, the error of the instruction of "correction" is judged. That is, it is determined whether or not it is "correction" after the instruction of "cancel". In this case, the normal input instruction operation is not performed,
Judging whether or not "correction" was instructed by mistake,
In the case of Yes, it returns to step S11 and becomes an initial state. If No, the process proceeds to the next (step S20).

Thereafter, the current selection number X, which is the desired selection number of the examination department from the examination department key group T, is cleared to zero (step S21).

Further, a clearing process of the medical examination department information save area in the memory 40 is executed by the instruction of the CPU 24, and the initial state is returned (step S22).

If "confirm" in the function selection key group R is pressed when step S18 is not "correction", it is determined whether or not a plurality of desired departments to be selected from the department key group T have been designated. (Step S23).

In step S23, if the result is "confirm", it is judged whether the "confirm" instruction is incorrect. That is,
It is judged whether or not it is “confirmation” after the instruction of “correction”. In this case, it is determined whether or not "confirmation" is instructed by mistake rather than a normal input instruction operation. If an incorrect input is made, the process returns to step S11 and the initial state is set. When "confirm" is normally instructed, the process proceeds to step S26 described below (step S24).

Next, it is judged whether or not a plurality of desired departments to be selected have been instructed from the department group key T. For example,
The fixed time is counted and determined, and in the case of No, the process returns to step S11 and the initial state is set. If Yes, the process proceeds to the next (step S25).

Subsequently, step S24 and step S2
After the process of 6, the display keys, that is, the display colors of the designated "internal medicine", "surgery", "ophthalmology", and "plastic surgery" in the selected examination department key group T are reversed and returned. (Step S26).

Next, it is confirmed that the number (X) of consultation departments selected in step S14 and confirmed in step S25 is smaller than the selection limit of consultation departments (step S27). In this step S27, by communicating with the host computer 20 after being activated in step S12, one person is considered after the time concerned in consideration of the consultation department of the leave of absence and the number of recurrent patients received, which are input to the host computer 20 in advance. Determine the maximum number of selectable departments that can be examined, and use that information as a CP
It is stored in the memory 40 through U24.

Further, the information about the number of consultation department selection limits is notified from the host computer 20 to the returning patient reception information processing device 22 every time the contents are changed.

In this case, the fact is displayed at the bottom of FIG. For example, “Today's Plastic Surgery” is closed. From now on, it is possible to have a consultation at three departments. ”Is displayed.

Here, since "plastic surgery" is closed, it is selected in step S14 based on the number of medical departments selected, and step S2 is selected.
The number of consultations (X) confirmed in 5, that is, "internal medicine",
Since the number of “surgery”, “ophthalmology”, and “plastic surgery” is large, the process returns to the “cancellation” and “correction” processes in step S15, and the process of canceling three desired consultation departments and “plastic surgery” is performed again. It will be performed from the returning patient through the touch panel 34.

As a result, the selection limit of the number of consultation departments is smaller than the number of consultation departments (X), that is, "plastic surgery" is canceled and "internal medicine", "surgery", and "ophthalmology" are entered, so the procedure proceeds to the next step.

Here, the transmission data of the desired fixed "internal medicine", "surgery", and "ophthalmology" is transmitted to the host computer 20 through the communication control unit 26 and the communication line.

This transmission data is shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 7, the transmission data is read from the reception information confirmation message in the header portion, the examination ticket data of the examination ticket M read from the examination ticket information save area of the memory 40, and the examination department information save area of the memory 40. The examination department codes 00, 01, 04 of “internal medicine”, “surgery”, and “ophthalmology” are arranged in time series.

This transmission data is sent to the host computer 20.
Then, the chart is read based on the examination ticket data of the examination ticket M, and at the same time, the medical examination department in charge is notified. Furthermore, after receiving the return patient, the reception information response message with the reception number (No), which is the medical treatment order number in “Internal medicine”, “Surgery”, and “Ophthalmology”, is returned to the patient through the communication line. It is transmitted to the processing device 22.

The reception information response message is fetched by the CPU 24 through the communication controller 26 in the return patient reception information processing apparatus 22 (step S29).

Next, the reception information response message is printed by the printing unit 32 on the consultation sheet of, for example, a thermal paper stored in the return patient reception information processing device 22 (step S30).

The printed consultation sheet W is printed by the printing unit 32.
For example, the examination ticket reading unit 30 returns the examination ticket M to the returning patient from the entrance / exit section of the returning patient reception information processing device 22 (steps S31 and S32).

The printed consultation sheet W is shown in FIG. Figure 8
In the above, in the upper column D, the examination ticket data of the examination ticket M is printed, and in the middle section E, "internal medicine", "surgery", which is desired to be examined,
Each place and reception number of "ophthalmology" are shown.

Further, the lower column F shows the number of floors and the room number in each building of "internal medicine", "surgery", and "ophthalmology" for guidance.

In this way, the consultation card is printed in which the medical treatment order numbers for a plurality of consultation departments designated by one returning patient by one input operation are printed.

After this, the process returns to the initial state of step S11 and becomes the initial state corresponding to the next returning patient.
