With reference to the part 45, the positional information regarding a visit destination patient is acquired.
This visit reception terminal 6 is installed at a position where a visitor such as a hospital entrance and a ward entrance always passes and at a certain distance from the hospital room, and is operated before the visitor visits the patient's hospital room. It is installed to be done.

The nurse call system configured as described above operates as follows. However, since the patient calls the nurse by operating the nurse call cordless handset 1 and the operation of the nurse responding to the call is the same as the conventional one, the description is omitted. Here, the operation and operation of the visit reception terminal 6 are omitted. The explanation is centered.
First, a case where a patient is in a hospital room will be described. The visit reception terminal 6 is operated by the visitor, and the selection of the visit destination patient is first performed. For example, when a name is input by displaying a screen for inputting a patient name, the patient information storage unit 41 of the controller 4 is input based on the input patient name information under the control of the visit reception terminal CPU 65. The patient's room number is read and displayed on the monitor 61.
In addition, the selection input of the visit patient may be configured such that, for example, an initial is input to display a related patient list, and a corresponding patient is selected from the list.

A decision button (not shown) is displayed in accordance with this display, and the next screen is displayed by touching the decision button on which the visitor who has confirmed the room number or the like is displayed. The next screen is a screen for entering the visitor's own information.
For example, the name input section and the number of persons input section of the visitor (representative) are displayed on the monitor 61, the name of one representative is input to the name input section, and the number of persons, for example, “3 persons” is input.

  When this input is completed, a visit signal for notifying the patient is generated under the control of the visit reception terminal CPU 65 and transmitted to the bedside monitor 5 of the selected patient. The name information of the visitor that has been input is attached to the visit signal, and is transmitted to the original bedside monitor 5 of the selected patient via the controller 4 and the corridor lamp 2.

  In conjunction with the transmission of the visit signal, the visit reception terminal CPU 65 reads the examination reservation related to the visit patient from the examination reservation storage unit 42 of the controller 4, and displays it on the monitor 61 if a predetermined condition is satisfied. The location information of the transmitter 7 is obtained from the machine position storage unit 45 and displayed. When the patient is on the bed without getting out of bed, the location information displayed from the obtained information is, for example, “own room”.

  On the other hand, in the bedside monitor 5 that has received this visit signal, the presence of a visitor is displayed on the monitor 51 under the control of the bedside monitor CPU 55, and the name information and the number of people information attached to the visit signal are read. It is displayed on the monitor 51.

In this way, since the visit signal is sent to the bedside monitor 5 from the visit reception terminal 6 installed at the entrance of the hospital or the ward, the patient at the visit can grasp that the visitor is coming soon. Consider privacy. In particular, by installing the visit reception terminal at a relatively distant location from the hospital room, hospital ward, or other hospital room, it is fixed until the visitor arrives at the hospital room after the patient has been notified that the visitor has arrived. Because of this time, the patient is ready and fully considers privacy.
Moreover, the patient is ready and convenient from the name information and number information of the visitor displayed on the monitor 51.
In addition, when a visitor enters his / her name information, etc., the patient can know in advance who will come to the visit, and can be relieved, and it is easy for the hospital to grasp the suspicious person by obtaining the visitor's information. Helps improve security.

  Next, the case where a visitor comes when the patient is out of bed for examination or for other reasons will be described. As described above, with the transmitter 7 carried by the patient, the controller 4 grasps the position in units of the corridor lamp 2 even if the patient leaves the bed and leaves the bed, and the transmitter position storage unit 45 stores the position. Location information is stored. Further, when the person is getting out of bed according to the registered examination reservation information, the location of the patient is grasped from the examination reservation storage unit 42. This will be specifically described below.

As described above, when the patient selection input operation at the visit reception terminal 6 is completed, the visit signal is transmitted from the visit reception terminal 6 to the bedside monitor 5 of the visit destination patient.
At the same time, the visit reception terminal CPU 65 obtains information associated with the visit destination patient from the examination reservation storage unit 42 and the transmitter position storage unit 45 and displays the obtained information on the monitor 61. For example, in the case where the day the visitor came is a day with an inspection reservation, the inspection location, reservation time zone, etc. are displayed on the monitor 61. However, even if it is a reservation on the day, if the reservation time has already passed, it is not displayed, but location and time information regarding the reservation after the present is displayed.

Further, based on the information in the transmitter position storage unit 45, the room number and the like are displayed on the monitor 61 from the information on the corridor lamp 2 to which the transmitter 7 is currently associated.
Specifically, in the transmitter position storage unit 45, the transmitter 7 and the corridor lamp 2 are stored in association with each other, but map information is separately associated with each corridor lamp 2, and the hospital rooms are installed. In addition to information such as numbers, information such as adjacent toilets and examination rooms on the opposite side is registered in association with the corridor lamp 2 as map information. Therefore, the map information of the corridor lamp 2 associated as the position information of the transmitter 7 is displayed on the monitor 61.
As a result, when there is an examination reservation, information on the examination room and reservation time information are displayed, and the current location of the patient is displayed in units of the corridor lamp 2.

In this way, even if the visitee patient is not in the hospital room, the current location of the patient is displayed on the visit reception terminal 6, so that the visitor can grasp the location of the visitor patient, and the visitor can feel at ease with the patient. I can visit you.
In addition, if a visitor's patient has an examination reservation on that day, the visitor can recognize it, and it is easy to grasp the presence / absence of the patient without going to the hospital room, which is convenient. In particular, even if an examination is booked on the day, the current or future examination reservation is displayed, so the completed content is not displayed, and the visitor makes a wrong decision by looking at the past contents. There is nothing.

It should be noted that the display of the examination reservation for the day does not have to be limited to the contents after the current time, and if there is an examination reservation for the day regardless of the time, it may be simply displayed.
Further, for a visitor who has just arrived when the patient is in the examination appointment time zone, only the examination location and appointment time information are displayed, and the location information based on the transmitter 7 may not be displayed.
