Description

Nurse call communication system and communication method thereof

The invention relates to a communication system and a communication method thereof, in particular to a call communication system which is IP-based and is used in a hospital environment for a patient of each hospital to communicate with a nursing staff.

According to the reform of the medical record electronically, the nursing car is also transformed into a mobile care car, equipped with computer, screen, physiological value measuring instruments, etc., which not only effectively simplifies the workload of the nursing staff, but also has the communication of the nursing care car. The function enables the nursing staff to grasp the situation more quickly and grasp the golden rescue time.

It is worth noting that when the patient needs emergency ambulance, the nursing staff call system is mainly connected to the nursing station through the hospital ward, such as the conventional nursing staff calling system 10 shown in Fig. 1, which is set in each bed 11 A calling device 111 is provided, and a display device 121 is electrically connected to a speaker 122 and a microphone 123 at the nursing station 12. When the patient activates the calling device 111, the calling device 111 will call through a signal transmitting unit 13. The signal is transmitted to the display device 121 of the nursing station 12, and the calling device 111 simultaneously activates the door indicator light 112 electrically connected to the door of the ward to assist the nursing staff to more quickly identify the direction of the ward.

However, the signal transmission unit 13 between the conventional calling device 111 and the display device 121 is an analog or digital signal transmission mode, and cannot communicate directly with the mobile care car; and the nursing staff suffers from manpower due to hard work. The situation is getting more and more serious, and it also highlights the importance of timely staff deployment. Therefore, the inventor of this case believes that it is necessary to integrate the nursing staff call system and the action nursing car to further the situation in case of insufficient manpower. Improve the allocation of caregivers.

The object of the present invention is to provide a nurse call communication system and a communication method thereof, which mainly IPize a nurse call system, whereby when a patient calls a nurse, the call system can notify the action care car so as to be closest to the The bed-based mobile care car will be processed in the shortest time, avoiding the shortage of manpower in the nursing station and requiring other medical personnel to go to other conditions, and the nursing staff can quickly respond to the purpose of emergency care.

In order to achieve the above object, a nurse call communication system according to the present invention is used in conjunction with a wireless network of a hospital and at least one mobile care vehicle having a softphone, the mobile care vehicle having a processor Electrically connecting a touch screen and the soft phone, the mobile car is electrically connected to the wireless network by a processor thereof, wherein the communication system comprises: at least one call communication device corresponding to at least one bed setting, Having the call communication device output a call signal; a network switch is electrically connected to the wireless network, and the at least one call communication device is electrically connected to the network switch to form a telecommunication network, so that the The telecommunications network is integrated with the host of the wireless network via the network switch, and the network switch receives and converts the call signal into a call bed location signal, and sends the call to the wireless network host to integrate the output. The notification signal is to the nearest mobile care car software phone to the bed.

According to the communication method of a nurse call communication system provided by the present invention, the method comprises the steps of: establishing a wireless network in a hospital, the wireless network is provided with a host; and electrically connecting the call communication device to the network switch And causing the call communication device to form a telecommunication network by using the network switch; operating the call communication device to send a call signal; the network switch receives the call signal and performs message format conversion, address conversion, and protocol conversion, and then converts Forming a call bed position signal sent to the wireless network; the wireless network host reads the call bed position signal and detects the location of each mobile care car, so that the host is based on the call bed position signal and the action care car The location is judged, and finally a notification message is sent to the software phone of the mobile care car closest to the bed; the nearest action car receives the notification signal, and the caregiver goes to the calling bed position for emergency care.
