Abstract

A digitized hospital management system is provided with an in-hospital region including a first computer including a first interface and a plurality of first memory units; and a plurality of first video recording devices; an out-of-hospital region including a second computer including a second interface and a plurality of second memory units; a plurality of second video recording devices; and a plurality of auxiliary memory units; two communication devices disposed in the in-hospital region and the out-of-hospital region respectively so that the in-hospital region communicates with the out-of-hospital region or vice versa via the communication devices; and a hospital computer in data communication with the second computer. A smartphone, a laptop computer, a portable communicating device, a cloud computing device, or a data storage device is capable of communicating with the second computer.

Claims

1. A digitized hospital management system comprising:

an in-hospital region comprising a first computer including a first interface and a plurality of first memory units; and

a plurality of first video recording devices;

an out-of-hospital region comprising a second computer including a second interface and a plurality of second memory units;

a plurality of second video recording devices; and

a plurality of auxiliary memory units;

two communication devices disposed in the in-hospital region and the out-of-hospital region respectively so that the in-hospital region communicates with the out-of-hospital region or vice versa via the communication devices; and

a hospital computer in data communication with the second computer;

wherein a smartphone, a laptop computer, a portable communicating device, a cloud computing device, or a data storage device is capable of communicating with the second computer;

wherein data including audio/video (AV) data recorded by the first video recording devices is stored in the first memory units;

wherein the data stored in the first memory units are further stored in the second memory units; and

wherein the data stored in the second memory units are further stored in the auxiliary memory units.

2. The digitized hospital management system of claim 1, wherein the first video recording devices are connected to the first computer and each of the first video recording devices includes a video conference device.

3. The digitized hospital management system of claim 1, wherein the second video recording devices are connected to the first computer and each of the second video recording devices includes a video conference device.

4. The digitized hospital management system of claim 3, wherein each of the communication devices incorporates one of PCIe (PCI Express), VL-Bus (VESA Local Bus), USB 2.0, IEEE1394, SATA, DDR2, and HDMI.

5. The digitized hospital management system of claim 4, wherein the in-hospital region further comprise a second computer including a second interface and a plurality of second memory units;

and a plurality of second video recording devices; and

the out-of-hospital region further comprises a third computer including a third interface and a plurality of third memory units;

a plurality of third video recording devices; and

a plurality of first auxiliary memory units.

6. The digitized hospital management system of claim 1, wherein the data storage operation is done either sequentially in the order of storage and recordation or simultaneously.

7. The digitized hospital management system of claim 1, wherein the interface is a point of communications between the computers and a computer display.

8. The digitized hospital management system of claim 1, wherein an individual may use a smartphone, a laptop computer, a portable communicating device, a cloud computing device, or a data storage device to communicate with each computer for accessing data stored in each of the memory units.

9. The digitized hospital management system of claim 8, wherein an individual may use a smartphone, a laptop computer, a portable communicating device, a cloud computing device, or a data storage device to communicate with each computer for accessing data stored in each of the memory units, the data including medical history.

10. The digitized hospital management system of claim 1, wherein the number of the interfaces is more than one and the number of the I/O devices is more than one.

11. The digitized hospital management system of claim 9, wherein a confirmation procedure is performed when a patient registers in the counter.

12. The digitized hospital management system of claim 10, wherein a medical employee may use an AV device to record what is being done in an operation room and the recorded AV clips can be sent to the patient upon request.
