Abstract

A hospital information system according to the present invention lets an RF reader 12 comprised by a PDA 8 read tag information, once for all, recorded by RF tags either attached to, or embedded in, plural kinds of a plurality of patient wrist bands, injection medicine bottles, patient charts, medical instrument cases, et cetera, and transmits a query to a server 5 by way of a wireless LAN 9, server 7 and LAN 3 for confirmation from the server 5. The server 5 collates it with the content of a medical practice order recorded in its data base, and registers a completion of instructed operation for an instructed item in the database, as well as responds back with notifying “correct” if the transmitted readout data from the PDA 8 is correct. If the readout data is not correct, the PDA will be notified of “incorrect” with an instruction for reading again.

2. The hospital information system according to claim 1, wherein the medicine certification apparatus is configured for querying identification information read out of the medicine identification information tag to the server system to perform the each certification.

3. The hospital information system according to claim 1, wherein the medicine certification apparatus is configured for performing the certifications of

absence of mistake in medicine to be used by collating identification information read out of the medicine identification information tag with an injection work schedule data acquired by the data acquisition apparatus,

absence of a change or cancellation of the order by querying identification information read out of the medicine identification information tag to the server system, and

having practiced an injection medicine mixing based on an injection medicine mixing information read out of medicine identification information tag which allows writing information about injection medicine mixing relating to the injection medicine mixing.

4. The hospital information system according to claim 1, wherein the practice registration apparatus is configured for recording at least pieces of information, i.e., practitioner, operated patient, used medicine, operated date and time, in the server system as the practice registration.

5. The hospital information system according to claim 1, wherein the mobile terminal comprises a warning apparatus for warning when either one of respective certification results brought about by the medicine certification apparatus or the patient certification apparatus is failed.

6. The hospital information system according to claim 1, wherein the mobile terminal comprises an accumulation apparatus for accumulating error log information when either one of respective certification results brought about by the medicine certification apparatus or the patient certification apparatus is failed, and comprises an output apparatus for outputting error log information to the server system at the time of ending a processing of the mobile terminal

7. The hospital information system according to claim 3, wherein the mobile terminal comprises a certification apparatus for certifying medicine to be mixed based on identification information read out of medicine identification information tag attached to the medicine by using the noncontact identification information reading apparatus, and comprises a writing apparatus capable of writing information about mixing including a completion status of mixing operation in the medicine identification information tag when a certification result brought about by the certification apparatus is a success.

8. The hospital information system according to claim 7, wherein the writing apparatus is configured for writing information about a medicine used for an injection medicine mixing in the medicine identification information tag as mixing injection medicine information.

9. A hospital information system, in the hospital information system for managing information about a medicine to be administered to a patient, comprising:

an order information storage apparatus for creating order information indicating an instruction relating to an administration of medicine based on the instruction input for the administration of the medicine to a patient and storing the created order information; and

a medicine management apparatus for writing information created based on the order information relating to the medicine in an RF tag attached to the medicine when performing a medicine delivery practice based on the order information.

10. The hospital information system according to claim 9, wherein information written in the RF tag by the medicine management apparatus contains information indicating a record of medicine delivery operation for the medicine when performing the medicine delivery operation.
