Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a drug bag making system for prescription preparations.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In general, a hospital pharmacy accepts a large number of prescriptions issued by doctors of each medical department and performs necessary dispensing work and other various works according to the contents of the prescriptions.

Further, in recent years, with the advancement of medical care, subdivision of specialty, and diversification of drugs, the absolute amount of dispensing work that must be processed at a hospital pharmacy tends to increase more and more, while the amount of patients Since it is desired to shorten the waiting time, as a means to efficiently perform the necessary dispensing work,
Developed and put into practical use various tablet dispensing machines, such as a tablet dispensing machine that dispenses tablets each time, a powder dispensing machine that dispenses powder once each, and other dispensing devices. There is.

By the way, in order to operate these dispensing devices, it is not possible to apply the contents of the prescription to the dispensing devices as they are, and the same dispensing device is used depending on the type of drug that each dispensing device can handle. Even in this case, different operation information must be applied depending on the characteristics of the drug and various conditions.

That is, in the prescription, for example, tablets A at a daily dose of 8 tablets, a dose of 4 minutes, tablets B at a daily dose of 3 tablets, a dose of 3 minutes, tablets C at a daily dose of 2 tablets, once a day, Powder D daily mmg,
As an example, consider the case where the dose 3 and the powdered drug E were prescribed to be administered to the patient at a daily dose of nmg and a dose of 3 respectively.

However, the tablets A and B can be packaged in one package, and the tablet C must be packaged separately from the tablets A and B. , Powder D and E can be packaged in one package, but when they are mixed in a dividing mass prior to packaging and mixed on a vibrating feeder, they are separated from each other and evenly distributed. It shall have the condition that it is not divided.

[0007] In this case, the tablets A, B, C can be packaged by an appropriate tablet packaging machine, and the first, second, and third doses of the four doses a day are respectively performed. A2 tablets and B1 tablets were packaged together in one package, and only the A2 tablets were packaged for the fourth time, and in each of these packages, "morning", "daytime", "evening",
While printing characters such as "sleep", in addition to this, tablets C
It is necessary to instruct the tablet packing machine of operation information that each of the tablets should be divided into two tablets and the characters such as "day" should be printed on each packet.

[0008] Further, with respect to the powdered medicines D and E, the packaging work can be carried out by an appropriate powdered medicine packaging machine. First, the powdered medicine D is a daily dose of mmg × the number of days, and the powdered medicine E is 1 Prepare a daily dose of nmg × number of days, and when putting this into a dividing mass prior to packaging, divide both into separate vibrating feeders and divide them into single doses. Wrap, and in each of these wraps, "morning",
It is necessary to instruct the powder-dispensing and packaging machine of operating information that the characters such as "day" and "evening" should be sequentially printed.

Therefore, in the past, workers at hospital pharmacies were
Looking at the prescriptions received from the doctor, select a prescription that can be executed by the tablet packing machine, or a prescription that can be executed by the powder medicine packing machine, for example, and select the necessary prescriptions to execute on the tablet packing machine. After processing, the operation information for the tablet packing machine is created, or the processing necessary for executing on the powder medicine packing machine is performed to create the operation information for the powder medicine packing machine, and then these operation information are transferred to the tablet packing machine. Alternatively, it has been applied to a powder medicine packaging machine so that the necessary packaging work is performed.

That is, conventionally, a prescription unit (RP unit)
It is necessary for the operator to obtain the prescription data (data of the prescription unit) from the contents of the prescription written in Dispensing data (data for each dispensing unit) is created by processing, and this dispensing data is instructed to the dispensing device,
I was trying to get the necessary dispensing work done.

On the other hand, the drug dispensed by the dispensing device is stored in an appropriate drug bag and administered to the patient, and the drug bag indicates the usage method of the drug contained in the drug bag and other necessary items. It must be.

That is, for a patient, tablets A and B packaged in one package, a tablet C packaged in a separate package, and a powdered drug D packaged in one package, In the case of administering E and E, the size and the number of medicine bags to be used are determined in consideration of their amounts when they are dispensed, and the administration method for tablets A and B and the administration method for tablet C are , How to take the powdered medicines D and E must be indicated on the medicine bag.

[0013]

However, the drug dispensed by the dispensing device is not dispensed in accordance with the prescription unit indicated on the prescription, but the type of the dispensing device, the characteristics of the drug, and the dispensing data. When preparing a medicine bag, it is prepared according to an arbitrarily selected dispensing unit from among dispensing units that can be considered in various ways depending on various conditions such as the individual way of making the worker.
The operator needs to display necessary items according to the dispensing unit of the medicine contained in the medicine bag.

However, conventionally, even if an operator who displays necessary items on a medicine bag has a prescription at hand and knows how to use (take) each medicine, he / she prescribes the prescription. It is unclear what kind of dispensing unit the unit is supposed to be dispensed with,
After the medicine is actually dispensed, the displayed content of the medicine bag cannot be determined unless the dispensing unit is confirmed by looking at the medicine that has already been dispensed. This can be done only after the dispensation work of the medicine is completed, and therefore, in addition to the time required for the dispensation work, the waiting time of the patient becomes the time required for making the medicine bag after that, and as a result, the patient There was a problem such as having to wait for a long time.

The present invention solves the problems of the above-mentioned conventional ones, and even if a medicine is prepared according to any preparation unit considered from the prescription unit shown in the prescription, the preparation work of the medicine is performed. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a prescription-prepared medicine bag making system that can make a medicine bag containing the medicine without waiting for the execution of the medicine, thereby making the waiting time of the patient as short as possible. is there.

[0016]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a dispensing device, an operating means for instructing the dispensing device of dispensing data, and a generation for generating display contents of a medicine bag based on the dispensing data. Means and means.

[0017]
