Abstract

During hospital peak times of outpatients, an effective mechanism that informs the newly receipted patient information to corresponding medical departments is lacking in current hospital reception systems. Since every department repeatedly searches entire patient reception database in sequential manner to acquire its reception information, this is a significant performance degradation factor in hospital information system. To improve hospital reception system efficiency, we developed two web socket based systems, a primary key transmitting batch system and a reception information transmitting real time system. The former reduced database access time compared to sequential search system as well as kept search time low regardless of receipted patient number. The latter effectively reduced waiting list updating time in request/response patient reception system by eliminating database access.

병원에서 특정 시각 대에 집중하는 외래환자 접수상황을 효과적으로 해당 진료과에 전달하는 기술적 방식이 기존의 병원 접수시스템에 부재하다. 따라서 모든 진료과는 접수상황을 알기위해서 병원접수 데이터베이스 전체를 반복적으로 순차탐색하게 되고 이는 병원정보시스템 성능저하의 큰 요인이 된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이러한 병원 접수시스템의 효율 향상을 위해 웹소켓을 이용한 주키전송 일괄처리시스템과 접수정보전송에 의한 실시간시스템을 개발하였다. 주키전송 일괄처리시스템은 기존의 순차탐색시스템에 비해 데이터베이스 조회속도를 크게 단축하였을뿐만 아니라 접수환자 수에 무관한 빠른 조회속도를 유지하였다. 또한, 접수정보전송 실시간시스템은 데이터베이스를 조회하지 않고도 기존의 요청/응답 접수시스템의 대기환자 갱신시간을 효과적으로 줄일 수 있었다.
