The present invention relates to an emergency patient transfer service method and system, and more particularly, to an emergency patient transfer service method and system that can provide optimal customized emergency treatment for the emergency patient in transit.

In the event of an emergency patient, the treatment of the ambulance after it arrives at the scene and the preparation for the takeover on the emergency ward side have a significant impact on the survival rate.

According to a report by the Korea Institute of Health Industry's Emergency Medical Service, the emergency survival rate is improved from 20% to 50% if the first aid is good.

Currently, paramedics who arrive at the scene are receiving emergency medical guidance from paramedics provided by a wireless network (oral shoes) and performing first aid. That is, the paramedics explain the situation to the paramedics in remote areas by radio or cell phone and receive first aid instructions. In this case, the paramedics cannot accurately know the situation on the scene (ie, the condition of the emergency patient) and thus cannot provide more accurate emergency medical guidance, which causes the paramedics to properly administer first aid for the condition of the emergency patient. You will not be able to perform effective first aid.

In particular, the on-site situation is not increasing quickly due to traffic delays, the importance of first aid during the transfer of emergency patients is very important.

In addition, prompt and accurate information delivery and emergency medical judgment for patients with acute diseases and injuries are urgently needed, and current emergency medical judgments and emergency treatments alone do not facilitate communication between emergency medical specialists and emergency personnel in the field. Inadequate treatment

And, in the process of transferring the emergency patient to the hospital, paramedics often do not know properly to which hospital to transfer the emergency patient. Since most of them try to transfer to a large hospital, the time to reach the large hospital is lengthened, and the medical treatment in the emergency ward (hospital) is slow, which may reduce the survival rate of emergency patients.

On the other hand, in the emergency ward, the emergency treatment during the transfer period for emergency patients who have been transported can be known from the emergency personnel, but the first priority is to treat the visible signs because there is no information about the disease that the emergency patient originally had. Will be done. As emergency patients often overlook the disease they originally had, side effects often occur and they are often unintentionally lost.

The present invention has been proposed to solve the above-mentioned problems, and in cooperation with a medical institution based on a variety of information previously stored in a database to facilitate the rapid transfer of emergency patients to the optimal medical institution to the emergency patient in transit The purpose of the present invention is to provide an emergency patient transportation service method and system for optimal customized first aid.

Emergency patient transport service method according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention to achieve the above object, the emergency patient management server, the first step of receiving an emergency call signal containing the identification information through the network; A second step of the emergency patient management server reading a database in which a plurality of personal information, medical information and medical institution information is stored in advance and reading medical information of the emergency patient matching the identification information; A third step of the emergency patient management server notifying the dispatching station of the read medical information and the current location information of the emergency patient from the network; And a fourth step of the emergency patient management server wirelessly transmitting the first aid method to the emergency patient transport means in response to an emergency call including video and audio from the emergency patient transport means that is transporting the emergency patient.

The emergency call signal received in the first step is a signal including identification information of any one of a mobile phone, a computer and a landline phone. The identification information of a mobile phone and a landline phone is a phone number of a corresponding device. Is the IP address.

Medical information read out in the second process is information related to the medical history and major disease of the emergency patient.

The fourth process may include a first step of receiving an image and biosignal data of an emergency patient wirelessly transmitted from an emergency patient transport unit through a network and displaying the image on a video terminal; And a second step of wirelessly transmitting the voice terminal to the emergency patient transport means based on the first aid method based on the image and the biosignal data on the video terminal.

The medical information read out in the second process may include the information of the main medical hospital, and may further include a fifth process in which the emergency patient management server searches a database to determine a destination medical institution and notify it. In this case, information of the destination medical institution determined by the emergency patient management server is notified to the dispatching station or the emergency patient transport means.

In the fifth process, the emergency patient management server determines that the emergency medical care patient's main care hospital previously stored in the database as a destination medical institution if the current location of the emergency patient is short distance from the primary care hospital.

In the fifth process, the emergency patient management server treats the emergency patient based on the information of the medical institution which is the shortest distance from the current location of the emergency patient and stored in the database if the current location of the emergency patient is remote from the main medical hospital. Determine the possible medical institution as the destination medical institution.

The emergency patient management server decides to be the final destination medical institution when requesting treatment waiting while receiving medical information of the emergency patient to the determined destination medical institution and receiving a waiting signal available from the destination medical institution.

When the emergency patient management server receives a non-waiting medical treatment signal from the destination medical institution, the emergency patient management server selects the next-most medical institution that is the closest medical institution at the current location of the emergency patient and can treat the emergency patient to the next-level destination medical institution. Requesting medical treatment while providing medical information for emergency patients, and receiving a medical waiting signal from the next-highest destination medical institution, determines the next destination medical institution as the final destination medical institution.

The emergency patient management server searches the database to read the information of the family, relative or helper's contact number of the emergency patient, and notifies the terminal of the corresponding family, relative or helper based on the read information. It may also be included.

In addition, the emergency patient transport service system of the present invention, a database that stores a plurality of personal information and information including medical information and information of medical institutions; And receiving an emergency call signal including identification information through a network, searching and reading a medical database of emergency patients matching the identification information, and reading the read medical information and the current location information of the corresponding emergency patient from the network. And an emergency patient management server which notifies the dispatching station of the emergency station and wirelessly transmits the first aid method to the emergency patient transport means in response to an emergency response inquiry including video and audio from the emergency patient transport means that is transporting the emergency patient.

Emergency patient management server, the receiving unit for receiving an emergency call signal; A database manager for managing a database; And controlling the transmission of medical information and current location information of the corresponding emergency patient based on the emergency call signal received at the receiver, controlling communication with the emergency patient transportation means, and transferring the emergency patient based on a database. It includes a control unit for determining and notifying the medical institution.

The database includes a first DB for storing emergency information for each emergency patient; A second DB for storing emergency patient history information, major disease information, and main hospital information; And a third DB for storing information of the medical institution. The database may further include a fourth DB storing GIS information and / or a DB storing emergency treatment result information for each emergency patient.

Personal information of each emergency patient of the first DB includes information of the family, relatives or helpers of the emergency patient.

Hereinafter, an emergency patient transfer service method and system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a configuration diagram of an emergency patient transport service system according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 is an internal configuration diagram of the emergency patient management server and database shown in Figure 1, Figure 3 is for each subscriber shown in FIG. Fig. 4 is a block diagram of the personal information DB, and Fig. 4 is a block diagram of the member-specific medical information DB shown in Fig. 2, and Fig. 5 is a view of the inside of the video terminal in the fire protection center and the emergency terminal transport vehicle shown in Fig. It is a block diagram.

The fire and disaster prevention center 20 (eg, the 119 situation room) receives the emergency call signal from the emergency call means 10 through the communication network 12. The fire prevention center 20 reads the personal information and medical information of the person who sent the emergency call signal based on the information previously stored in the database 24, and the current position of the person who sent the emergency call signal provided from the communication network 12. A dispatch order is sent while notifying the dispatching station 30 of the information. Here, the person who sends the emergency call signal may be, for example, a person having a disease, such as a senior citizen living alone having a predetermined disease, a heart disease, a cerebrovascular disease, or the like. In the database 24, personal information (eg, name, address, social security number, contact number, etc.) of various emergency patients, medical information (eg, medical history, history, major illnesses, main hospitals, etc.) are stored in advance. have. Therefore, when there is an emergency call, the fire and disaster prevention center 20 notifies the dispatch order appropriately based on the pre-stored information in the database 24, and determines a destination medical institution (that is, a medical institution to transfer emergency patients). .

The dispatching station 30 organizes an ambulance crew and equipment, and sends an emergency patient transport vehicle 40 (eg, an ambulance) to the site. The dispatching station 30 may be a fire station. In FIG. 1, only one mobile station 30 is shown, which is simplified for better understanding of the drawings. In fact, it is assumed that a plurality of mobile stations 30 exist. Even if there are a large number of dispatching stations 30, the fire and disaster prevention center 20 may give a dispatch order to the dispatching station 30, which is located in the shortest distance to the emergency patient, so it is not a problem. This will be omitted by those skilled in the art because it can be fully understood as a well-known technique.

In order for the emergency patient transport vehicle 40 to be dispatched so that the emergency patient can be immediately transported to the most nearby medical institution (one of 50a to 50n), the firefighting and disaster prevention center 20 is dispatched to the dispatching station 30. When sending an order, determine the destination medical institution (any of 50a to 50n) that can provide emergency medical treatment to the person who sent the emergency call signal. When sending a dispatch order to the dispatching station 30, the information on the destination medical institution may not be sent, but may be determined and sent while the emergency patient transport vehicle 40 is dispatched to the site.

The emergency call means 10 is a device capable of connecting to the communication network 12. For example, if the communication network 12 is a mobile communication network, a wireless terminal such as a personal communication service (PCS) phone, a personal digital assistant (PDA) phone, a personal digital cellular (PDC) phone, a personal handyphone system (PHS) phone, a smartphone, or the like May be an emergency call means (10). If the communication network 12 is the Internet, the emergency call means 10 may be a set-top computer or a portable laptop and a wireless terminal capable of accessing the Internet. If the communication network 12 is a public switched telephone network (PSTN), the wired telephone may be the emergency call means (10).

If it is assumed that the emergency call means 10 is a mobile phone, the mobile phone may be provided with a separate button used for emergency call or by emergency operation of a 10-key generally equipped. In case of emergency call by normal 10-key operation, for example, press the number 119 in order, then press the call button (or OK button) or press the number 119 in order and press the button to enter the emergency time. It can be called. In addition to some of the above-mentioned methods, there may be various ways of making emergency calls, and those methods are obvious to those skilled in the industry. Even if the emergency call means 10 is not a mobile phone but a landline phone or a notebook, an emergency call can be made similarly to the method described above. In the case of a notebook, there is a separate emergency call button, so pressing the emergency call button may transmit an emergency call signal including the ID of the notebook.

Even if a mobile terminal such as a mobile phone moves away from a person who is likely to make an emergency call, the identification and location of unique identification information (eg, a phone number) of the emergency call means 10 which has transmitted an emergency call signal from the fire prevention center 20 Since it is easy to track and pinpoint the current position of the emergency patient, it is preferable in the embodiment of the present invention to employ a wireless terminal such as a mobile phone as the emergency call means (10). Of course, even if it is not the same as a normal mobile phone, any type of terminal with a program that can generate an emergency call signal and transmit wirelessly.

In the above description, the person who sends the emergency call signal is described as an elderly person living alone, a heart disease, a cerebrovascular disease, and the like, and the caregiver who is caring for an emergency patient or those who are in the vicinity also have a terminal (eg, a mobile phone) or an emergency patient's terminal ( For example, an emergency call can be made using a mobile phone). When caregivers or others around you make an emergency call to their terminal, you must provide some personal information about the emergency patient (eg, name, social security number, etc.) and your current location. Then, the fire and disaster prevention center 20 can search the database 24 to find out the medical history of the emergency patient (name of major illness, the main medical hospital, etc.), and then give the dispatching station 30 an appropriate dispatch order. It is possible to select the best medical institution to transfer the.

In the following description, it is assumed that the emergency call means 10 is a wireless terminal such as a mobile phone, and the communication network 12 is assumed to be a mobile communication network.

When the communication network 12 is a mobile communication network, a mobile communication network typically includes a base station (not shown) which performs communication using a wireless section together with the emergency call means 10; A base station controller (not shown) that is connected to the base station and controls the wireless link and the wired link and performs a handoff function for maintaining the continuity of the call even when the subscriber is moving; An exchange station (not shown) which is connected to a base station controller and constitutes a subscriber's call path and performs a connection with another communication network (eg, Internet, PSTN); All permanent information of the emergency call means 10 required to connect an incoming call to the emergency call means 10 or to provide other mobile communication services (e.g., Mobile Identification Number (MIN), Electronic of the terminal). A serial number (ESN)), a home location register (not shown) that stores subscriber information (name, address, social security number, etc.), various additional service information, etc .; And when the user moves out of the home ECP (executive cellular processor) area to which he or she is subscribed to another ECP area, a visitor location register record is generated according to an auto-registration function to exchange and exchange mutual service right (roaming) information between ECPs. And a visitor location register (not shown). Information from the subscriber location register is generated and destroyed from time to time as the subscriber's ECP moves. The subscriber location register contains information about the current location of the subscriber who is switching service. In other words, it is understood that the visitor location register is a database that registers the location of the wireless terminal (mobile phone) outside the home switching center. The ESN is the only identifier assigned to the terminal and is used for call processing. The exchange office is responsible for mobility management, location registration / management, authentication, handover, roaming, etc., and is connected to the emergency patient management server 22 in the fire prevention center (20).

When the communication network 12 receives an emergency call signal from the emergency call means 10, it immediately sends it to the fire prevention center 20. In addition, since the communication network 12 has the subscriber information of the subscriber, it is possible to know the telephone number of the emergency calling terminal (that is, the emergency calling means 10) and the emergency calling terminal (that is, the emergency calling means ( 10)) can determine the current position. The phone number and current location of the emergency call terminal are easily understood by anyone in the same industry, so detailed explanations are omitted. The communication network 12 sends the emergency call signal to the fire protection center 20 together with the telephone number of the emergency call terminal (ie, the emergency call means 10) and information on the current location.

The fire and disaster prevention center 20 includes an emergency patient management server 22, a database 24, a video terminal 26, and an audio terminal 28.

The emergency patient management server 22 receives the emergency call signal from the emergency call means 10 through the communication network 12, retrieves the medical information of the emergency patient corresponding to the emergency call signal by searching the database 24 and And notifies the dispatching station 30 of the read out medical information and the current location information of the corresponding emergency patient from the communication network 12, and an emergency including an image and an audio from the emergency patient transport vehicle 40 through the communication network 12. In response to the treatment inquiry, the optimal first aid method is wirelessly transmitted to the emergency patient transport vehicle 40 through the communication network 12.

The emergency patient management server 22 transfers the emergency medical care patient designated in the database 24 to the destination medical institution if the current location of the emergency patient is near the pre-stored primary care hospital of the emergency patient in the database 24. Decide On the contrary, if the current location of the emergency patient is far from the main medical hospital, the medical institution that is able to treat the emergency patient based on the information of the medical institution which is the shortest distance from the current location of the emergency patient and is already stored in the database 24 Determined by a medical institution. The emergency patient management server 22 notifies the dispatching station 30 or the emergency patient transport vehicle 40 of the determined destination medical institution information (eg, trade name, location, etc.). Of course, the destination medical institution in the above may be changed due to the circumstances of the destination medical institution, the emergency patient management server 22 after confirming whether or not medical treatment by communication with the medical institution accurately determine and notify the destination medical institution.

Although the communication network is not shown between the firefighting disaster prevention center 20 and the emergency patient transport vehicle 40, it is obvious that the firefighting disaster prevention center 20 and the emergency patient transport vehicle 40 communicate with each other through a communication network 12. Do.

As shown in FIG. 2, the emergency patient management server 22 includes a receiver 22a for receiving an emergency call signal from the emergency call means 10, a database manager 22b for managing the database 24, and a video terminal. Control the transmission of the medical information and the current location information of the corresponding emergency patient based on the emergency call signal received by the management unit 22c and the reception unit 22a, which manages operations of the voice terminal 28 and 26; The controller 22d controls the communication with the emergency patient transport vehicle 40 and determines and notifies the destination medical institution to which the emergency patient is to be transferred based on the database 24.

The management unit 22c manages a plurality of video terminals and a plurality of audio terminals. In FIG. 1, only one video terminal 26 and one audio terminal 28 are illustrated, and as shown in FIG. 2, a plurality of video terminals 26 and audio terminals 28 are provided. The video terminal # 1 and the audio terminal # 1 shown in FIG. 2 form one terminal set, and the following numbers also form the same terminal set among the same numbers. The management unit 22c may communicate any one terminal set among a plurality of terminal sets with the corresponding emergency patient transport vehicle 40 when communicating with the emergency patient transport vehicle 40 according to the emergency call. For example, since there are a plurality of terminal sets managed by the management unit 22c and the emergency patient transport vehicle 40 may also be multiple, so that one terminal set and one emergency patient transport vehicle 40 can perform one-to-one communication. To do this, the management unit 22c manages the activation of the terminal set.

In the fire prevention center 20, a number of emergency medical guidance personnel (doctors) are arranged. Each emergency medical guidance manager provides first-aiders with the best personalized first aid skills (voice) through either set of terminals. That is, the image terminal 26 is an image transmitted wirelessly from the image terminal 42 installed in the emergency patient transport vehicle 40 (ie, the body image of the emergency patient currently being transported) and the biosignal data (for example, blood pressure and arterial blood oxygen). Saturation, pulse, deep breathing, electrocardiogram, body temperature, etc.) are displayed. The voice terminal 28 transmits the optimal first aid method (ie, the voice of the emergency medical caregiver) determined based on the image and the biosignal data on the video terminal 26 to the emergency patient transport vehicle 40 through the communication network 12. It transmits to the equipped voice terminal 44. Therefore, when the emergency medical guidance manager sees the video and biosignal data of the emergency patient displayed on the video terminal 26 and determines the best first aid method, the first aid method of the expressed voice is voice. The terminal 28 is wirelessly transmitted to the voice terminal 44 in the emergency patient transport vehicle 40. Here, the voice terminal 28 may be fixedly installed in the vicinity of the video terminal 26, or may be worn on the body part (for example, the head) of the emergency medical guidance officer in the form of a headphone. The voice terminal 44 in the emergency patient transport vehicle 40 may also be fixedly installed in the vicinity of the video terminal 42 or may be worn on the body part (eg, the head) of the paramedic in the form of a headphone.

As shown in FIG. 2, the database 24 includes a member-specific personal information DB 24a storing personal information of each member, a member-specific medical information DB 24b storing medical information of a member, and an emergency of each member. Emergency treatment result DB (24c) for each member that stores the treatment result information, and medical institution DB that stores information of a number of medical institutions (e.g., business name, address, medical treatment (including emergency medical treatment) and doctor's name, etc.) 24d) and a Geographical Information System (GIS) DB 24e which stores GIS information of the whole country.

As shown in FIG. 3, the subscriber-specific personal information DB 24a is divided into sectors such as an identification number (also called an index number), a name, a social security number, an address, a contact number (phone number), and corresponds to each sector for each subscriber. Information is stored.

As shown in FIG. 4, the member-specific medical information DB 24b is divided into sectors such as an identification number (also referred to as an index number), a medical history, a major disease name, and a main medical hospital. Stored. The medical history sector contains historical medical history of the subscriber (emergency patient). The major disease sectors contain information about the name of the disease to be treated, with an interest in the care of the member (emergency patient). The primary care hospital sector contains information such as the name, location of the primary care physician, and the name of the primary care physician.

In the member-specific medical information DB 24b, there is no sector for storing a name. If the identification number of the member-specific personal information DB 24a and the identification number of the member-specific medical information DB 24b are the same, information on the same subscriber is provided. Is stored. For example, the identification number 1 in the subscriber-specific personal information DB (24a) can look up the resident registration number, address, contact number for "Hong Gil *", and the identification number 1 in the member-specific medical information DB (24b) is "honggil" You can search for medical history, major medical conditions, and main hospitals for *. If necessary, a sector for storing the subscriber's name may be provided in the member-specific medical information DB 24b.

If there is a need to store other information, the sectors of the subscriber-specific personal information DB 24a and the subscriber-specific medical information DB 24b may be further subdivided into sectors other than those shown in Figs. For example, the member-specific personal information DB 24a displays family / relative information for each subscriber (eg, name, relationship, contact number (phone number, mobile number)), and / or helper information (eg, name, Relationships, contact numbers), and the like. This is fully understood by those of the same industry even if not shown in the drawings as shown in FIG. The reason for storing such family / relative information, helper information is that the emergency patient management server 22 transfers the emergency patient in the member's personal information DB (24a) contact number of the family / relative or helper of the emergency patient This is to inform you quickly by reading. As such, the contacted family / relative or helper can go to the medical institution where the emergency patient is being transferred and can tell or talk with them to help with care.

Although not shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the emergency treatment result DB 24c for each subscriber is divided into a plurality of sectors like the personal information DB 24a of FIG. 3 and the medical information DB 24b for each subscriber of FIG. 4. It is easy for anyone in the industry to know that information on first aid results will be stored.

The information in the database 24 is updated with the latest information periodically or aperiodically. In order to initially register information (e.g., personal information, medical information, etc.) for each subscriber in the database 24, the person who is likely to have an emergency situation or who wants to use the service of the present invention may visit directly and register an application. Receive. Alternatively, information is registered on the basis of data sent through a mobile phone or a computer by those who are likely to have an emergency or who want to use the service of the present invention. Or, in cooperation with the medical institutions (50a ~ 50n) is registered with the information of those who are likely to occur an emergency or those who want to use the service of the present invention.

Information transmission and reception between the video terminal 26 and the video terminal 42 may be directly performed through a communication network, and the image and the biosignal data from the video terminal 42 may be transmitted through the communication network and the emergency patient management server 22. It may be delivered to the terminal 26. Information transmission and reception between the voice terminal 28 and the voice terminal 44 may also be performed directly through a communication network, and information transmission and reception between the voice terminal 28 and the voice terminal 44 is performed by the communication network and the emergency patient management server 22. It can also be done through). Anyone skilled in the art will appreciate that this is a matter of how the system is implemented, so it will not be a problem at all in understanding the embodiments of the invention.

Although not shown in FIG. 1, the video terminal 26 and the audio terminal 28 are equipped with antennas as shown in FIG. 5. Assuming that information transmission and reception between the video terminal 26 and the video terminal 42 is performed directly through a communication network, the internal configuration of the video terminal 26 and the video terminal 42 is as illustrated in FIG. 5. The internal configuration of the video terminal 26 and the video terminal 42 when the image and the biosignal data from the video terminal 42 are transmitted to the video terminal 26 through the communication network and the emergency patient management server 22 The difference is that the antenna is installed in the emergency patient management server 22, the remaining components are similar to the description of Figure 5 below. In the following description of FIG. 5, the antenna of the video terminal 42 of the emergency patient transport vehicle 40 will wirelessly communicate with the base station, but the antenna of the video terminal 26 in the fire prevention center 20 is connected with the base station. It will be wired.

The video terminal 26 displays a decoder 26a for decoding (including signal amplification and noise reduction) so that the signal received through the antenna can be processed later, and the signals (video and data) decoded by the decoder 26a. The image and data processing unit 26b for processing to be displayed on the display, and the image (that is, the body image of the emergency patient) and the data (that is, the biosignal data of the emergency patient) output from the image and data processing unit 26b are displayed. And a display unit 26c. In addition, the video terminal 26 includes an operation unit (not shown) which enables to move the position of the image and data displayed on the display unit 26c or to switch to another image.

The image terminal 42 may include an image acquisition unit 42a for acquiring a body image of an emergency patient, an image processing unit 42b for converting an image obtained from the image acquisition unit 42a into an image signal, and biosignal data of an emergency patient (eg, Data input unit 42c for inputting blood pressure, arterial oxygen saturation, pulse rate, deep breathing, electrocardiogram, body temperature, etc., and mixing unit 42d for mixing the image signal from the image processing unit 42b and the data from the data input unit 42c. And an encoder 42e that encodes the image and data mixed by the mixing unit 42d into a signal of a band which can be wirelessly transmitted and outputs the signal to the video terminal 26 through an antenna.

The image acquisition unit 42a not only acquires an image of the inside of the emergency patient's body, including an X-ray imager, a magnetic resonance scanner, a tomography machine, or an ultrasound diagnostic, but also obtains an external body image of the emergency patient by a camera. .

Although not shown, the data input unit 42c includes an input unit such as a keyboard and processing means for generating corresponding data based on a key input signal inputted from the input unit and providing the data to the mixing unit 42d. Of course, even if it is possible to input data in a form other than the input means and the processing means in this way can be employed as a data input unit.

The video and data in the video terminal 42 are compressed by a compression algorithm such as MPEG, JPEG, etc., and are transmitted to the video terminal 26, and the video terminal 26 is displayed after undergoing a restoration by the restoration program.

Although the data input unit 42c is a component of the video terminal 42, the data input unit 42c may not be a component of the video terminal 42 but may be a separate data input device.

The internal configuration of the voice terminals 28 and 44 shown in FIG. 1 has not been described separately, but it is not explained to those skilled in the art that they can be clearly understood by well-known techniques. In other words, the voice terminals 28 and 44 may be any type of device capable of transmitting the signal of the emergency medical guidance staff and the first-aiders by radio-signaling, receiving the transmitted radio-signal and converting the audio-signal into a speaker.

The fire prevention center 20 and the dispatching station 30 are connected to each other through a dedicated line or a communication network (for example, a mobile communication network, a public switched telephone network (PSTN), and the Internet). In FIG. 1, the dispatching station 30 and the emergency patient transport vehicle 40 are represented by solid lines as if they are connected by a dedicated line, but are actually communicated with each other when necessary through a communication network (eg, a mobile communication network or the Internet). Do this.

Medical institutions 50a to 50n can be hospitals or clinics that employ at least emergency medical doctors. The fire protection center 20 and the medical institutions 50a to 50n are connected to each other by a dedicated line or a communication network (eg, a mobile communication network, a public switched telephone network (PSTN), and the Internet).

Next, the operation of the emergency patient transport service system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 6.

A person who needs an emergency call makes an emergency call by operating the emergency call means 10. The emergency call signal from the emergency call means 10 is transmitted to the emergency patient management server 22 through the communication network 12 (S10). Here, if the emergency caller makes an emergency call, for example, with a mobile phone, the communication network 12 (in this case, the mobile communication network) sends the emergency call signal to the emergency patient management server 22, the telephone number of the emergency call mobile phone. And sends information about the current location. If the emergency caller, for example, makes an emergency call with a landline telephone, the communication network 12 (in this case, the public switched telephone network) sends the emergency call signal to the emergency patient management server 22 and the telephone number of the emergency telephone line. Send information about your current location. If the emergency caller makes an emergency call to a computer, for example, the communication network 12 (in this case, the Internet) sends an emergency call signal to the emergency patient management server 22 based on the IP address and IP address of the emergency call computer. Send information about your current location. Knowing the telephone number and the current location of the emergency caller in the mobile communication network and public switched telephone network can be seen that it is sufficiently possible by those skilled in the industry. Knowing the IP address and current location of the emergency caller on the Internet can also be seen that those who are engaged in the same industry can be sufficiently known by the known technology (see, for example, Korean Patent Registration No. 10-0399342, 10-0615470). Of course, the domestic patent registration number 10-0399342, 10-0615470 as an example described how to track the location of the stolen computer, but if you see the stolen computer as an emergency call terminal will be fully understood. In addition, it is possible to employ if it is possible to determine the current position of the emergency caller in a manner other than the domestic patent registration number 10-0399342, 10-0615470 as an example.

Meanwhile, the emergency call may be made by a caregiver or a person who is caring for an emergency patient, and the caregiver or those who are in the vicinity may make an emergency call to their mobile phone or a landline phone nearby. In this case, some personal information (eg, name, social security number, etc.) and current location of the emergency patient should be provided. Then, along with the emergency call signal to the emergency patient management server 22 via the communication network 12, the personal information and the current position of the emergency patient is transmitted.

The emergency patient management server 22 searches the database 24 and grasps information on the person who has made the emergency call (that is, the emergency patient or the person in the vicinity but it is assumed to be an emergency patient in the following) (S12). . That is, the emergency patient management server 22 has information corresponding to the telephone number (or name, resident registration number) of the emergency call means 10 which made the emergency call in the personal information DB 24a for each subscriber in the database 24. Figure out.

If there is no information corresponding to the telephone number (or name, resident registration number) of the emergency call means 10 which made the emergency call in the personal information DB 24a for each subscriber (“No” in S12), the emergency patient management server 22 ) Recognizes that an unregistered person has made an emergency call and notifies the dispatching station 30 of the dispatch order (S14). In this case, since there is no medical information for the unregistered person in the database 24, the emergency patient management server 22 only informs the current location of the emergency patient. Afterwards, the dispatching station 30 organizes basic manpower and equipment without accurate manpower and equipment organization, and dispatches the emergency patient transport vehicle 40 to the site (where the emergency patient is located) so that the emergency medical personnel ( One of 50a to 50n). The case of S14 is a general case and will not be described in more detail.

On the contrary, if there is information corresponding to the telephone number (or name, resident registration number) of the emergency call means 10 which has made the emergency call in the personal information DB 24a for each subscriber ("Yes" in S12), the emergency patient management server ( Recognizing that the member has made an emergency call, the member states the current location and medical information of the emergency patient (ie, information read from the member-specific medical information DB 24b, including the medical history and the major disease name). In step S16, the dispatch command is notified. Then, since the dispatching station 30 knows the medical information of the emergency patient, it is possible to organize a manpower and equipment suitable for first aid. At this time, the emergency patient management server 22 determines the destination medical institution (that is, designated hospital) to transfer the emergency patient to notify the terminal of the dispatching station 30 or emergency personnel. In FIG. 6, it is assumed that the dispatching station 30 is notified.

In determining the destination medical institution (i.e., designated hospital), firstly, if the current location of the emergency patient is close to the main medical hospital of the emergency patient in the member-specific medical information DB 24b, the member-specific medical information DB ( Determine the main medical hospital of the emergency patient in 24b) as the destination medical institution (ie, designated hospital), and if the current location of the emergency patient is far from the main medical hospital of the emergency patient in the member-specific medical information DB 24b The medical institution (any one of 50a to 50n) which is located closest to the current position of the patient and capable of treating the emergency patient based on the information of the medical institution previously stored in the medical institution DB 24d is determined as the destination medical institution. At this time, the emergency patient management server 22 maps the GIS information in the GIS DB 24e to determine a destination medical institution by examining a predetermined radius range from the current location of the emergency patient. Along with this, the emergency patient management server 22 requests a waiting for a treatment while providing medical information on an emergency patient currently being transferred to a destination medical institution (for example, 50a) that is primarily determined. If the primary destination medical institution 50a, which has been requested to wait for treatment, indicates the doctor who can wait, the primary destination medical institution becomes the final destination medical institution. However, if the emergency patient management server 22 receives a signal to wait for the emergency call from the primary destination medical institution 50a, the emergency patient management server 22 may be different from that of a short distance (based on the current position of the emergency patient). After requesting medical treatment while providing medical information about the emergency patient being transferred to a medical institution (for example, 50n), if the medical institution 50n sends a medical waiting patient, the emergency patient who is on the move or is transferring an emergency patient Informing the transport vehicle 40 that the destination medical institution has been changed, information (eg, location information) about the changed destination medical institution 50a is transmitted. When and where the emergency patient management server 22 sends information about the destination medical institution is not a big problem. The information of the destination medical institution may be sent to the dispatching station 30 with a medical institution that has indicated the willingness to wait to be sent to the destination medical institution.In the case of the dispatch order, only the current location and medical information of the emergency patient are sent and the destination medical institution is sent. The information may be determined later and sent to the emergency patient transport vehicle 40 in operation. This can be determined by considering which method is more efficient. On the other hand, the destination medical institution which has been determined primarily by the dispatching station 30 is notified, so that the dispatching station 30 calls with the primary destination medical institution and manages the determination of the final destination medical institution and the change to another medical institution. You may also do it.

In the above description of S16, if the member-specific personal information DB (24a) is stored in advance the information of the family / relatives of the emergency patient and / or helper information, the emergency patient management server 22 is the personal information of the subscriber Read the contact number (telephone number or mobile number) or helper's contact number of the emergency patient's pre-stored in the DB 24a to the terminal of the corresponding family / relative or helper immediately through the communication network. Notifications (ie, the fact that an emergency patient has occurred, the name of the destination medical institution, the location of the destination medical institution, etc.). The family / relative or helper who is notified will immediately go to the hospital where the emergency patient is in transit and wait or watch the situation or tell a story that may help. As a result, the family / relatives can take care of the emergency patient's well-being more quickly and can tell the stories that will help the medical treatment, thereby increasing the survival rate.

When the emergency patient transport vehicle 40 arrives at the site in the state where the destination medical institution is finally determined as described above, paramedics quickly move the emergency patient into the vehicle and then transfer to the destination medical institution (S18, S20).

Paramedics in the emergency patient transport vehicle 40 wirelessly transmits the body image and vital signs data of the emergency patient through the video terminal 42 to the fire and disaster prevention center 20 side, and more accurate first aid through the voice terminal 44 Inquire about the method (S22). The emergency patient management server 22 designates the video terminal 26 and the audio terminal 28 capable of wireless communication with the video terminal 42 and the audio terminal 44 of the emergency patient transport vehicle 40 in advance.

Emergency doctor (doctor) of the fire and disaster prevention center 20 determines the more appropriate first aid method based on the body image and vital signs data of the emergency patient displayed on the image terminal 26, and informs the voice terminal 28. . Accordingly, the voice signal from the voice terminal 28 is wirelessly transmitted to the voice terminal 44, and the paramedics output the voice output through the voice terminal 44 (i.e., customized for the emergency patient currently being transported). Listening to the first aid method) provides more appropriate first aid (S24, S26).

Such customized emergency treatment is performed until the emergency patient transport vehicle 40 arrives at the destination medical institution.

When arriving at the destination medical institution ("Yes" in S28), the emergency medical treatment in the waiting destination medical institution will be treated. In addition, the paramedics inform the fire protection center 20 of the result of the customized first aid performed in the process of transferring the emergency patient to the destination medical institution (S30). Accordingly, the emergency patient management server 22 stores the emergency treatment result of the emergency patient in the first-aid emergency treatment result DB 24c in the database 24.

The present invention is not limited only to the above-described embodiments, but may be modified and modified without departing from the scope of the present invention, and the technical spirit to which such modifications and variations are applied should also be regarded as belonging to the following claims. .

As described in detail above, according to the present invention, by storing personal information, medical information, and medical institution information of various disease holders in a database in advance, when emergency call is made, medical information of the corresponding emergency patient and the emergency disaster prevention center are provided. By promptly telling the dispatching station of its current location, the dispatching station will be able to make the best possible personalization and equipment arrangements for first aid during transport.

In the process of transferring the emergency patient to the medical institution, the emergency patient transportation vehicle transmits the body image and biosignal data of the emergency patient to the firefighting disaster prevention center in real time, and the firefighting disaster prevention center informs more accurate first aid methods, More appropriate customized first aid for emergency patients during transport is possible.

Before an emergency patient arrives at a medical institution, the patient is requested to wait for the medical service by informing the emergency medical provider of the shortest distance where the emergency patient can be treated. When you arrive, you will receive a very quick and accurate emergency medical service to increase your survival rate.

The family / relative or helper of the emergency patient will be notified immediately, so that the family / relative or helper who is notified will immediately go to the medical institution to which the emergency patient is being transported, wait or watch the medical condition, or assist with care. You will tell a story that might be possible. As a result, the family / relatives can take care of the emergency patient's well-being more quickly and can tell the stories that will help the medical treatment, thereby increasing the survival rate.
