Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, this lending system for nursing care equipment includes a terminal 10 of a care manager that creates a care plan for a care recipient and a terminal of a plurality of leasing companies that lend care equipment used for care of the care recipient. 20 and a ticket issuing server 30 of a care equipment handling company that issues a guarantee ticket for guaranteeing a proxy payment of expenses for lending of care equipment by each leasing company, is connected to each other by a network N such as the Internet or an intranet. It is configured.
[0015]
Each of the terminals 10 and 20 is a computer system capable of browsing a web page on the network N. The ticket issuing server 30 is a computer system that executes a program corresponding to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, and includes a care manager database 31, a device database 32, a leasing company database 33, and a web page storage unit. .
[0016]
The care manager database 31 registers a care manager whose identity has been confirmed in association with an ID number and a password assigned to the care manager. The ID number and the password are care manager specifying information, which is uniquely assigned to each care manager and specifies each care manager. Note that the application of the ID number and the password and the registration in the care manager database 31 can be applied from the care manager terminal 10 to the ticket issuing server 30 via the network N.
[0017]
The equipment database 32 registers a plurality of types of nursing care equipment lent by each leasing company in association with their product numbers, proxy payment periods, required rental costs after the proxy payment periods, and the like. The leasing company database 33 registers the plurality of leasing companies in association with their addresses, contact methods, and the like. The web page storage means 34 is configured by, for example, a large-capacity storage device, and stores a web page so that the web page can be accessed from the network N.
[0018]
Next, the operation of the lending system for a care device configured as described above will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS.
[0019]
First, when a connection request is transmitted from the care manager terminal 10 to the ticket issuing server 30 by the care manager (step 102), the ticket issuing server 30 introduces a web page for introducing a care device in response to the request. The page is returned to the care manager terminal 10 (step 104), and the introduction page is received and displayed by the care manager terminal 10 (steps 106 and 108). In preparing a care plan, the care manager selects an appropriate care device with reference to the displayed introduction page, and considers lending of the care device.
[0020]
When the care manager determines the intention to lend the nursing care equipment, the care manager first inputs the ID number and the password given and notified by the nursing care equipment handling company in the care manager terminal 10 (step 109), and issues the ticket. The data is transmitted to the server 30 (step 110). When receiving the ID number and the password (step 112), the ticket issuing server 30 refers to the care manager database 31 to identify the care manager from the received ID number and password and confirm the identity of the care manager (step 114). . At this time, if the input ID number or password is not registered in the care manager database 31 and the identity of the care manager cannot be confirmed, the ticket issuing server 30 ends the execution of the program (step 116).
[0021]
On the other hand, if the identity of the care manager can be confirmed from the ID number and the password, the ticket issuing server 30 transmits a loan application page, which is a web page for prompting the input of the loan application information, to the care manager terminal 10 (step 118). The loan application page is received and displayed by the care manager terminal 10 (steps 120 and 122). The care manager inputs loan application information (for example, the part number of the nursing care device desired to be lent, the name and address of the care recipient requiring lending, the care insurance number, etc.) in accordance with the format of the lending application page (step 123). ), And transmits it to the ticket issuing server 30 (step 124).
[0022]
Upon receipt of the loan application information (step 126), the ticket issuing server 30 creates a warranty ticket by referring to the device database 33 based on the loan application information (step 128). The guarantee ticket guarantees that the lending of the nursing care equipment is paid for a predetermined period (for example, three months) on behalf of the nursing care equipment, and the name, address, and nursing care of the care recipient requiring lending. This is a web page describing an insurance number, a name of a care manager, a registration number, a contact method (e-mail address), a part number and a product name of a care device to be lent, a payment period by a care device dealer, and the like. After the creation, the ticket issuing server 30 saves the created guarantee ticket in a predetermined location of the web page saving means 34 (step 129).
[0023]
After creating and storing the guarantee ticket, the ticket issuing server 30 refers to the leasing agent database 32 and selects the nearest leasing agent at the location of the care recipient (step 130). Then, directory information such as a URL indicating the storage location of the guarantee ticket is transmitted to the selected leasing agent terminal 20 (step 132). At this time, the lease agent terminal 20 that has received the directory information returns a receipt confirmation notice to the ticket issuing server 30 (steps 134 and 135). The receipt confirmation notice is received by the ticket issuing server 30 (step 136), and is referred to for confirmation at the time of payment of the cost later.
[0024]
The leasing company that has received the directory information accesses the web page storage unit 34 of the ticket issuing server 30 from the leasing company terminal 20 based on the directory information, and requests a web page representing the guarantee ticket (step 137). At this time, in response to the request, the ticket issuing server 30 transmits a web page representing the guarantee ticket to the leasing agent terminal 20 (step 138), and the web page representing the transmitted guarantee ticket is transmitted to the leasing agent terminal 20. Is received and displayed (steps 140 and 142).
[0025]
The leasing company contacts the care manager who applied for the loan by e-mail or the like with reference to the displayed warranty ticket, and guides the care recipient in need of the location of the business office and the like via the care manager. Then, after confirming the identity by presenting a long-term care insurance card or the like, the lending of the nursing care equipment to the care recipient is started.
[0026]
At the start of the lending, the care-requiring person performs an authentication operation to prove that the lending of the nursing care device is to be performed based on the description of the issued guarantee ticket. Then, the leasing company that has received the authentication creates lending proof data for certifying the authentication at the leasing company terminal 20 (step 144) and transmits it to the ticket issuing server 30 (step 146). The authentication action is a signature or seal of a handwriting on the warranty ticket printed on paper, or an electronic signature. If the authentication operation is a signature or seal of a handwriting, the leasing company creates image data representing the signature or the seal as loan proof data using a scanner or the like. The creation and transmission of the loan certification data may be performed by the care manager at the care manager terminal 10 instead of the leasing company.
[0027]
When the loan proof data is received by the ticket issuing server 30 (step 148), the care equipment handling company checks the loan proof data, and starts from the start of the loan based on the description of the issued guarantee ticket. The lending cost is paid to the leasing company on behalf of the care recipient in the predetermined period.
[0028]
When transmitting and receiving the ID number and the password from the care manager terminal 10 to the ticket issuing server 30 (steps 110 and 112), transmitting and receiving the loan application information (steps 124 and 126), When transmitting and receiving directory information to and from the leasing company terminal 20 (care manager terminal 10) to the ticket issuing server 30 (steps 146 and 148), and transmitting and receiving directory information to and from the ticket issuing server 30 (steps 132 and 134). And the receiving terminal encrypts and restores the transmitted and received data, respectively.
[0029]
