Description

  The present invention relates to an information terminal device on the side of a care supporter who provides care support for a cared person, and an information terminal device on the side of a tool provider that provides tools used for care, connected via a network. The present invention relates to a care support system including an information terminal device on the side of a home renovator who is renovated into a home where sufficient care can be carried out, and an information terminal device on the side of a leader who gives guidance on care support.

  Currently, in the long-term care insurance system, nursing care certification is performed after investigating the nursing care status including the physical condition of the person who is the subject of certification for nursing care over 87 items. When the nursing care certification is approved by the municipal government, the care support specialist (care manager) determines the best care service plan (care plan) within the scope of the nursing care benefit cost. ). Welfare equipment required for the care plan is loaned. FIG. 26 shows a welfare tool 350 that is lent in the care plan. 26, reference numeral 351 is a wheelchair, 352 is a wheelchair accessory, 353 is a special bed accessory, 354 is a special bed accessory, 355 is a decubitus prevention device, 356 is a posture changer, 357 is a handrail, 358 is a slope, 359 Is a walker, 360 is a walking support, 361 is a dementia senile senile detector, and 362 is a lift for movement (excluding the part of the suspension). The selection of these welfare tools is generally performed by a care manager and a welfare tool specialist counselor at the nursing care site.

  At the stage of making a care plan, care manager, welfare equipment specialist counselor, home improvement contractor, Physio Therapist (PT), occupational therapist (OT), home helper, visiting nurse, etc. A service conference will be held with all the service providers. At the care conference, there are problems in the caregiver's continuing life, and solutions to this problem will be discussed.

  In many cases, the home where the cared person lives needs to be refurbished. For example, when bathing a bedridden person, it is necessary to move the bedridden person from the bed to the wheelchair and then to the shower chair in the bathroom. However, if you use a tool called shower carry that combines a wheelchair and a shower chair, you can simply move a bedridden person from the bed to the shower carry and move it to the bathroom. In this case, in order to move the shower carry to the bathroom, it is necessary that there is no step in the middle. Therefore, if there is a step, it is necessary to renovate the house to remove the step. As described above, in order to use a good welfare tool, an appropriate home improvement suitable for the welfare tool is required.

  At the end of the care service, the care manager prepared a detailed report, such as a record of the care service status and evidence related to the execution of the care service, and submitted it to the designated contractor. Patent Document 1, Patent Document 2, Patent Document 3 and the like are listed as systems for supporting the above-described care service. Patent Document 1 describes a care service management system that easily inputs data related to care services, Patent Document 2 describes a care service management system that manages the schedule and results of care services, and Patent Document 3 describes An elderly care system that provides care after disclosing details of care contents to caregivers and care recipients is described.

  As described above, in the long-term care insurance system, the care-required certification is performed after investigating the care-giving condition including the physical condition of the target person at the time of the long-term care authorization over 87 items. In order to connect the contents of the survey to appropriate daily care services after certification for long-term care, it is necessary to determine the daily living action level in the survey. However, since there are very few experts who can determine the daily life action level, there is a problem that the daily life action level is not often determined in the investigation.

  As described above, the selection of welfare equipment required in the care plan is generally performed by a care manager and a specialized welfare equipment counselor at the care site. However, welfare tools having functions considered necessary by each service provider are often different. For example, there are many cases where the wheelchair selected and introduced by a care manager and a welfare equipment specialist counselor is an inappropriate wheelchair that is extremely inadequate when viewed from a visiting nurse or visiting PT. As described above, there has been a problem that the welfare equipment selected by the care manager and the welfare equipment specialist counselor in the field of care tends to be inappropriate welfare equipment.

  As described above, in the care conference, there are problems in the cared person's continuing life in the future, and a solution to this problem is discussed. However, there is a problem that it is virtually impossible to gather together and hold a care conference because there is a shortage of service providers and each person cannot afford time. It is considered that the selection of inappropriate welfare equipment described above is also a result of each service person being forced to perform a so-called vertically-separated service because no care conference is held.

  Nursing care is not always performed by a caregiver specialist, but rather by an amateur. For this reason, there has been a problem that amateur caregivers who do not have detailed knowledge about the movement of the human body often take inappropriate care methods. For example, assisting a person to get up from a wheelchair is an action of moving the person forward from the wheelchair, but the caregiver who is an amateur tries to lift the cared person sitting in the wheelchair upward There was a problem that inappropriate care methods could be taken.

  As described above, in order to use a good welfare tool, a good home improvement suitable for the welfare tool is required. However, in reality, there are many problems that house renovation is often left to the contractor, and inappropriate house renovation is often performed. For example, even if a care manager thinks that a home renovation is necessary to install a handrail in a certain place, it is extremely difficult for a contractor to install a handrail in that place because there is no wall nearby. It may seem difficult. However, in general, care managers do not have knowledge of construction work and often lack the persuasive power to make the contractor fully understand the necessity of installing handrails in the place. In many cases, handrails were installed in places where it was easy to perform construction.

  As described above, when the care service is completed, the care manager prepares a detailed report such as a record document of the care service status and evidence related to the execution of the care service, and submits it together with the designated supplier. The preparation of these reports is indispensable for claiming insurance points, etc., but since it takes a considerable amount of time to prepare, there is a problem that it is a heavy burden on the work of the care manager. Due to the various problems described above, the nursing care service is extremely inappropriate and insufficient in the current nursing care insurance system, and it cannot be said that it is functioning sufficiently.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is made to solve the above-described problem, and even if there are very few specialists who can determine the daily living action level, it is sufficient to determine the daily living action level. Even if there is only a care manager and a welfare equipment specialist counselor at the nursing care site, it is possible to select appropriate welfare equipment and care even between service providers who do not have time allowance The purpose is to provide a care support system that can hold a conference.

  A second object of the present invention is to provide a care support system and the like that can take an appropriate care method even for an amateur caregiver.

  A third object of the present invention is to provide a care support system and the like that can perform good housing renovation suitable for welfare equipment even when there are only a care manager and a contractor on the site of care.

  A fourth object of the present invention is to provide a care support system or the like that allows a care manager to create a report without taking time.
