  The present invention relates to a technique for managing medical equipment, and more particularly to an apparatus and method for managing medical equipment to be rented.

  Disposable equipment, also called single-use equipment, is a disposable medical equipment that is used for only one patient in a single medical practice. Examples of disposable devices include infusion bags, catheter tubes, blood circuits, syringes, vacuum blood collection tubes, surgical nonwoven fabrics, and surgical rubber gloves. Disposable equipment does not need to be repackaged after re-sterilization unlike reusable medical equipment (hereinafter referred to as “reuse equipment”), and is easy. For this reason, medical equipment has been widely used since the mainstream of medical equipment has shifted to relatively inexpensive products.

  However, in recent years, complicated and expensive equipment has increased, and the way of disposable equipment has been reconsidered. Currently, much of the cost of disposable equipment is covered by surgical fees, and one study reports that the cost of disposable equipment in surgical fees is close to 50% in the highest laparoscopic cholecystectomy. ing. The medical treatment reward score for this technique is 22,400, that is, 224,000 yen, and the cost of disposable equipment is about 110,000 yen on average in many surgical hospitals.

Patent Document 1 discloses a system for recycling disposable equipment, and Patent Document 2 discloses a technique for selecting and packing only the latter of reuse equipment and disposable equipment and delivering it to a hospital.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the medical equipment rented can be managed appropriately.

  Before describing the present invention in detail, an outline will be described. In the embodiment of the present invention, the medical equipment providing organization ships the medical equipment to the medical institution, and collects at least a part of the shipped medical equipment (hereinafter referred to as “collecting medical equipment”). It is related to the distribution system of medical equipment. Here, as described above, medical equipment includes disposable equipment and reuse equipment, and collection medical equipment usually refers to reuse equipment, but includes predetermined disposable equipment, for example, disposable equipment that is scheduled to be discarded by a medical equipment provider. But you can.

  At least a part of the medical equipment for taking-out is rental medical equipment that is rented from the medical equipment providing institution to the medical institution based on a lease contract concluded between the medical equipment providing institution and the medical institution. In this embodiment, the medical equipment management device provided in the medical equipment provider manages the rental status of the leased medical equipment, and refers to the rental status when the medical institution orders the medical equipment. And operate properly. In the present embodiment, the medical equipment providing organization assigns an identification number to each rented medical equipment in units of parts, and grasps the distribution status of the rented medical equipment in units of parts while referring to the identification numbers. In the following, there is a case where “medical equipment” and its “parts” are not distinguished, but the description of “medical equipment” when the medical equipment is composed of a plurality of parts is “medical equipment” itself or its “parts”. Is included.

  FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram for explaining a medical device distribution route in a medical device distribution system 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The distribution system 200 includes a medical equipment providing organization 202 and a medical institution 204. Here, only the route for transporting the medical device is described as the distribution route between the medical device providing organization 202 and the medical institution 204, but in actuality, the ordering / ordering of the medical device between the medical device providing organization 202 and the medical institution 204 is described. A network such as the Internet for receiving orders also exists as a distribution channel. Further, in the figure, for the sake of explanation, the distribution system 200 is configured to include one medical equipment providing organization 202 and one medical institution 204, but a plurality of medical equipment providing organizations 202 or a plurality of medical institutions 204 are included. May be included.

  The medical equipment providing organization 202 is an organization that provides medical equipment, and corresponds to, for example, a medical equipment manufacturer. The medical institution 204 is an institution serving as a user of medical equipment, and usually corresponds to a hospital. The medical equipment providing organization 202 receives input of order data regarding a specific medical practice from the medical institution 204 via a network (not shown) (S200). When receiving the order data in the order receiving step S200, the medical equipment providing organization 202 confirms the inventory status of the leased medical equipment and procure the necessary medical equipment, details of which will be described later. The medical equipment providing organization 202 packs the medical equipment according to the received order (S202), and ships the packed medical equipment to the medical institution 204 (S204).

  The medical equipment shipped from the medical equipment providing organization 202 is carried into the medical institution 204 (S206). The medical institution 204 uses the carried medical equipment in the operation (S208). The medical device, that is, each component constituting the medical device is contaminated by surgery. Medical equipment after use is disassembled into parts. Among the disassembled parts, the parts included in the medical equipment other than the taking medical equipment are discarded (S214). Usually, a medical waste disposal contractor collects such parts to be disposed of. The parts included in the medical device for taking over are washed (S210) and further sterilized (S212). The sterilized medical equipment may be used again for surgery. The medical device for take-up that has been subjected to such cleaning and sterilization processing is recovered by the medical device providing organization 202 while being disassembled into parts (S216), and is received by the medical device providing organization 202 (S218). In the example of this figure, the example in which the cleaning and sterilization processing of the medical device for taking is performed on the medical institution 204 side is shown, but in another example, it may be performed on the medical device providing organization 202 side.

  The medical equipment provider 202 confirms the contents of the leased medical equipment included in the collected medical equipment for transaction (S220). In other words, it is confirmed whether or not the rented medical equipment has been collected. The medical equipment provider 202 sterilizes the collected medical equipment for collection again (S222). Of the sterilized take-up medical equipment, the disposable equipment is discarded (S226). On the other hand, among the sterilized take-up medical equipment, the reuse equipment is inspected as to whether it can be reused or discarded according to the use state of the parts (S224). ). The reuse equipment determined to be discarded by inspection is discarded (S226). Usually, a medical waste processor or an industrial waste processor collects such medical equipment. The reuse equipment determined to be reusable is stored and stored in a warehouse or the like of the medical equipment provider 202 until it is rented to the medical institution 204 next time.

  FIG. 2 is a configuration diagram of the medical device management apparatus 210 according to the embodiment. Each component of the medical device management apparatus 210 is, in terms of hardware components, a CPU, a memory of any computer, a program that realizes the components shown in the figure loaded in the memory, and a storage such as a hard disk that stores the program.

Each figure to be described below shows functional unit blocks, not hardware unit configurations.

  The input unit 212 receives input of order data related to a specific medical practice from the ordering device 206 of the medical institution 204 via the network 208. The input unit 212 may individually receive the names of medical devices, or may accept case names indicating medical practices such as “laparoscopic cholecystectomy” and “laparoscopic gastrectomy”, for example. At this time, the input unit 212 also accepts the desired delivery date of the ordered medical device. When a case name is input as order data, the selection unit 214 selects medical equipment necessary for the medical action with reference to the case database 230.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of a data structure of the case database 230 of FIG. The case database 230 stores necessary medical equipment in association with each case. The case ID column 250 holds information for identifying a case. The case name column 251 holds case names. The classification column 252 holds information indicating the classification of medical equipment. The instrument name column 253 holds the name of the medical instrument. The instrument type ID column 254 holds an instrument type ID that identifies the type of medical instrument. For example, the “laparoscopic cholecystectomy” identified by the case ID “005” is associated with “forceps” such as “endoscope”, “gripping forceps A”, and “peeling forceps A”. As described above, the case database 230 holds information for identifying medical equipment used for each case in association with each other. In addition, although only the case using an endoscope is described in this figure, it is not limited to the case using an endoscope. The case database 230 can hold information regarding various cases.

  Returning to FIG. 2, the selection unit 214 searches the case database 230 using the case name supplied from the input unit 212 as a search key, selects a medical device associated with a predetermined case, and selects the selected medical device. The equipment type ID is output to the determination unit 216. In this way, by associating medical equipment that may be used in each case in advance with each case, cases designated by the user, that is, medical equipment used in medical practice are automatically extracted. And user convenience can be improved.

  The case database 230 may be provided for each medical institution 204 or may be provided for each user such as a doctor. When the doctor who is the orderer wishes to deliver medical equipment not included in the standard medical equipment set stored in the case database 230, the input unit 212 may accept an order for additional medical equipment. .

  The determination unit 216 determines a leased medical device from the medical devices selected by the selection unit 214. There are various methods for realizing the discrimination processing in the discrimination unit 216. For example, the discrimination unit 216 holds a list of medical equipment for rent in advance and is included in the list among the equipment type IDs supplied from the selection unit 214. May be identified as leased medical equipment. Further, the determination unit 216 may determine the leased medical device with reference to the device database 232.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of the data structure of the equipment database 232 of FIG. The equipment database 232 stores information such as component parts and contract forms for each type of medical equipment. The instrument type ID column 261 holds an instrument type ID that identifies the type of medical instrument. The instrument name column 262 holds the name of the medical instrument. The contract form column 263 holds a contract form for providing medical equipment to the medical institution 204. Specifically, information indicating whether a medical device is provided based on a lease contract or a purchase contract is held. The component part type ID column 264 holds a part type ID for identifying the type of part constituting the medical device.

  Returning to FIG. 2, the determination unit 216 searches the device database 232 using the device type ID of the medical device selected by the selection unit 214 as a search key, determines the leased medical device, and outputs it to the verification unit 218. In addition, the determination unit 216 acquires a part type ID constituting the determined leased medical device from the device database 232 and outputs the acquired component type ID to the verification unit 218.

  The verification unit 218 verifies the status of the leased medical equipment inventory determined by the determination unit 216 with reference to the equipment inventory database 236 or the parts inventory database 238. The verification unit 218 checks the inventory status for each part of the leased medical equipment and verifies whether or not the medical equipment 204 can be rented out.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of the data structure of the equipment inventory database 236 of FIG. The equipment ID column 271 holds an equipment ID for identifying a medical equipment that is a target of a lease contract. The instrument type ID column 272 holds an instrument type ID that identifies the type of medical instrument. The instrument name column 273 holds the name of the medical instrument. The status column 274 holds information indicating the stock status of medical equipment. The stock status includes, for example, “Lending” indicating a status of being lent to the medical institution 204, and “Reprocessing” indicating a status of being returned from the medical institution 204 and being subjected to processing such as sterilization or inspection. There are “carry-in” indicating the situation where the inspection is completed and stored in the warehouse, etc., “rental reservation” indicating the situation where the loan is reserved according to the order from the medical institution 204, and the like. Even during lending or reprocessing, a lending reservation column may be provided separately in order to enable lending reservations after the scheduled storage date. The lending destination column 275 holds information on the medical institution 204 that lends medical equipment. The component part ID column 276 holds a part ID for identifying a part constituting the lent medical device. The lending date column 277 holds a date when the medical device is lent to the medical institution 204 or a scheduled lending date. The return date column 278 holds the date when the medical device is returned from the medical institution 204 or the scheduled return date. The storage date column 279 holds the date when the medical equipment is stored in the warehouse or the scheduled date of storage.

  Medical equipment whose status is “storage” can be lent to the medical institution 204. Since the medical device whose status is “Reprocessing” can be rented as soon as the reprocessing is completed, the verification unit 218 determines that the medical device is in stock if the scheduled date of warehousing is before the desired delivery date. May be determined to be lent to the medical institution 204. The medical device whose status is “Lending” is also returned as scheduled and can be rented when the reprocessing is completed. Therefore, the verification unit 218 confirms that the scheduled storage date is before the desired delivery date. If there is, it may be determined that the medical device can be lent to the medical institution 204.

  The equipment inventory database 236 shown in FIG. 5 is suitable for grasping the stock status in units of medical equipment. However, it is possible to grasp the stock status in parts by searching using the component ID column 276 as a search key. Is also possible.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of the data structure of the parts inventory database 238 of FIG. The part ID column 281 holds a part ID for identifying a part constituting the medical device. The component type ID column 282 holds a component type ID for identifying the component type. The embeddable device type ID column 283 holds a device type ID for identifying the type of medical device in which the part can be assembled. For example, when the same part can be incorporated in a plurality of medical devices in common, a plurality of device type IDs are held in the installable device type ID column 283. The status column 284 holds information indicating the inventory status of parts. As described above, the inventory status includes “lending”, “reprocessing”, “storage”, “lending reservation”, and the like. The lending destination column 285 holds information on the medical institution 204 that lends the medical device incorporating the part. The built-in device ID column 286 holds a device ID for identifying a medical device in which a part is actually incorporated. The lending date column 287 holds a date when the medical device is lent to the medical institution 204 or a scheduled lending date. The return date column 288 holds a date when the medical device is returned from the medical institution 204 or a scheduled return date. The warehousing date column 289 holds the date when the medical equipment is warehousing in the warehouse or the scheduled date of warehousing.

  As in the case of the equipment inventory database 236, parts with the status “Received” can be lent, and parts with the status “Reprocessing” or “Lending” have the desired delivery date. Lending may be possible only when it is after the scheduled date of goods receipt.

  The parts inventory database 238 shown in FIG. 6 is suitable for grasping the inventory status in parts. However, the inventory status is grasped in medical equipment by searching the built-in equipment ID column 286 as a search key. It is also possible. The medical instrument management apparatus 210 may include both the instrument inventory database 236 and the parts inventory database 238, or may include either one. When both are provided, for example, parts that can be incorporated into a plurality of medical equipment are managed in parts using the parts inventory database 238, and parts that are incorporated and used only in a single medical equipment are disassembled. Instead of renting them individually, the equipment inventory database 236 may be used to manage them in units of medical equipment.

  Returning to FIG. 2, the verification unit 218 refers to the equipment inventory database 236 or the parts inventory database 238, and determines whether or not all the parts constituting all the medical equipment to be lent to the medical institution 204 are in a rentable state. And the verification result is output to the response unit 226. The response unit 226 presents the verification result to the user as necessary. For example, when the verification unit 218 outputs a verification result indicating that there are parts that cannot be procured and cannot be lent by the desired delivery date, the response unit 226 presents the fact to the user and changes the order data. It may be accepted.

  The computing unit 220 computes the number of rental medical equipment lent to the medical institution 204. The comparison unit 222 compares the number of loans calculated by the calculation unit 220 with the limit number of loans set based on the lease contract. These configurations are provided when a lease contract in which an upper limit on the number of medical equipment is lent is concluded between the medical equipment providing organization 202 and the medical institution 204. The contents of the lease contract are stored in the contract content database 234.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of the data structure of the contract content database 234 of FIG. The equipment type ID column 291 holds an equipment type ID that identifies the type of medical equipment that is the subject of the lease contract. The equipment name column 292 holds the name of the medical equipment that is the object of the lease contract. The total number column 293 holds the total number of medical equipment that is the subject of the lease contract. This total is the total number of medical equipment for rent that the medical equipment provider 202 has, and is the total of equipment that is rented, equipment that is being reprocessed such as washing sterilization, and equipment that is being stored in the warehouse. It hits. The total lending number column 294 holds the number of medical equipment currently being lent. The contract contents column 295 holds the lease contract contents for each medical institution 204. Each of the contract contents column 295 includes a medical institution ID column 296 that holds the ID of the medical institution 204, a lending number column 297 that holds the number of medical equipment lent to the medical institution 204, and a lending to the medical institution 204. A lending upper limit number column 298 that holds the upper limit of the number is provided. In this figure, the upper limit of the number of loans to the medical institution 204 is set as the contents of the lease contract, but other lease periods, charges, and additional charges when renting beyond the loan limit are determined by the lease contract. It may be set and held in the contract content database 234.

  Returning to FIG. 2, the computing unit 220 may obtain the number of leased medical equipment for the medical institution 204 with reference to the number of lease column 297 of the contract content database 234. The comparison unit 222 refers to the lending upper limit number column 298 of the contract content database 234, acquires the upper limit of the lending number of medical equipment for rent to the medical institution 204, and compares it with the lending number calculated by the calculating unit 220. May be. The response unit 226 makes a response to the order data based on the comparison result of the comparison unit 222. When the number of loans to the medical institution 204 exceeds the maximum number of loans to the medical institution 204, the response unit 226 may limit the lending of rental medical equipment to the medical institution 204. Thereby, it is possible to prevent a large number of medical devices from being lent out to a specific medical institution 204, and to appropriately operate a limited total number of medical devices.

  If the number of loans to the medical institution 204 exceeds the maximum number of loans to the medical institution 204, the medical equipment management apparatus 210 may permit further lending by imposing an additional fee. The medical device management apparatus 210 may notify an administrator or the like to review the lease contract and raise the lending upper limit number when the lending upper limit number is frequently exceeded. Further, the medical device management apparatus 210 may notify the administrator or the like to increase the total number of medical devices when there is a medical device that frequently becomes unrentable due to out of stock. Thereby, it can assist so that the rental of medical equipment for rent can be performed more smoothly.

  When all of the ordered medical equipments can be lent, the management unit 224 updates the contract content database 234, the equipment inventory database 236, and the parts inventory database 238 to reserve the necessary parts for lending. Confirm. Specifically, the management unit 224 changes the status column 274 of the record corresponding to the medical device to be lent out in the equipment inventory database 236 to “rental reservation”, and stores the medical institution 204 of the lent destination in the lent destination column 275. The medical institution ID is recorded, and the component ID of the component to be lent out is recorded in the component ID column 276. Further, the scheduled loan date, scheduled return date, and scheduled storage date are recorded in the loan date column 277, return date column 278, and storage date column 279, respectively. Further, the management unit 224 changes the status column 284 of the record corresponding to the component to be lent out in the parts inventory database 238 to “rental reservation”, and stores the medical institution ID of the medical institution 204 of the lent destination in the lent destination column 285. Is recorded, and the device ID of the medical device in which the component is incorporated is recorded in the built-in device ID column 286. Further, the scheduled rental date, scheduled return date, and scheduled storage date are recorded in the rental date column 287, return date column 288, and storage date column 289, respectively. Furthermore, the management unit 224 adds 1 to the lending number total column 294 of the record corresponding to the medical equipment to be lent out in the contract content database 234, and adds it to the lending number column 297 of the contract content column 295 of the lending destination medical institution. Add one. When the order is confirmed, the output unit 228 outputs the contents of medical equipment and parts to be lent to the medical institution 204. Specifically, the output unit 228 outputs the equipment ID and component ID of the medical equipment that has been reserved for lending. These pieces of information are used in the packing step S202 in FIG.

  When the packed medical device is shipped to the medical institution 204, the management unit 224 changes the status column 274 and the status column 284 of the corresponding records in the device inventory database 236 and the parts inventory database 238 to “lending”, The actual loan date is recorded in the loan date column 277 and the loan date column 287.

  When the medical device is returned from the medical institution 204, the management unit 224 changes the status column 274 and the status column 284 of the corresponding records in the device inventory database 236 and the parts inventory database 238 to “reprocessing”, and the lending destination The field 275 and the lending destination field 285 are cleared. Further, the actual return date is recorded in the return date column 278 and the return date column 288. At this time, when the scheduled date of storage is changed, the storage date column 279 and the storage date column 289 are updated.

  When the reprocessing process of the medical device is completed, the management unit 224 changes the status column 274 and the status column 284 of the corresponding records in the device inventory database 236 and the component inventory database 238 to “store”, and the component part ID column 276. And the built-in equipment ID column 286 is cleared. In addition, the actual storage date is recorded in the storage date column 279 and the storage date column 289. At this time, the loan date columns 277 and 287 and the return date columns 278 and 288 may be cleared.
