Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a system that can prevent errors in dispensing powdered medicines at pharmacies, etc., and can reliably store the details of actual dispensing operations as records.

The process of dispensing powder medicines that has traditionally been carried out at pharmacies, etc. consists of (a) accepting a prescription, (b) confirming the designated powder name from the prescription, and (C
) Select and take out the medicine bottle containing the designated powder from the shelf, (d) Also check the indicator of the designated powder, (e)
The confirmation designated amount is taken out and weighed from the medicine bottle.

In addition, the operating steps (b) to (e) above are performed for all the powders listed in the prescription, (1) mixing the various powders obtained, and (g)
This mixed powder is appropriately packaged.

This packaged medicine is handed over to the relevant patient as appropriate.

Furthermore, in addition to the dispensing operations described above, the following sequential operations are compulsory under the provisions of the Pharmacists Act when dispensing powdered medicines.

First, the prescription is saved with a note indicating that it has been dispensed, and then the patient's name, age, kuwana name, quantity, and opening are stored with a note indicating that the drug has been dispensed. Information such as the date of issue of the prescription is entered in the dispensing record and saved as a record for later inspection or confirmation.

In this way, the operation contents under the conventional law in dispensing are as follows:
In principle, it must be done by a pharmacist in a highly specialized manner and must comply with legal regulations, or (b) above.
Is it possible that misidentifications and mistakes may occur during human operations such as confirming the designated name of the designated kuwana, taking out the medicine bottle mentioned in (C) above, and checking the written prescription of the designated enemy kuwana of the idj? Furthermore, there is a possibility that errors may be made when writing the name of Sankuwan used, its preparation, Preparation 1, etc. on the edge of the preparation.

If information based on such misconceptions or errors is stored as records, it will be difficult to confirm the ingredients of the actually ingested drug at a later date.

The present invention is a newly developed drug error prevention system that prevents the occurrence of misidentifications and errors in conventional drug dispensing methods, and that can completely match the contents of actual dispensed drug ingredients and stored records. The present invention will be explained based on the embodiment shown in the dispensing flow diagram of FIG.
g Unit: Storage unit M of the central processing unit (hereinafter the same)
Furthermore, this signal is printed out on the journal print P via the control unit C (1) In the process, a medicine containing the prescribed powder medicine described in the prescription and having a code number corresponding to the prescribed powder medicine is printed out on the journal print P via the control unit C. The process of (a) taking out the bottle from the shelf, the process of inputting the code number of the medicine bottle into the storage unit M of the CPU by the reading device R and printing it out on the journal print P, and the process of inputting the code number. In advance, the corresponding sensing signal stored in the storage unit M (or auxiliary memory word am) of the ePtJ is output as an audio (or display) signal by the selection control function of the calculation unit 0 and the control unit C within the CPU ((5 ) process, next, the indicated powder is taken from the medicine bottle according to the specified amount written in the prescription, and weighed by the weighing scale B, and the weighed value is inputted into the storage unit M of the CPU by the weighing scale B, and the calculation unit 0 and the step (a) of printing and acadifying the journal print P according to the corresponding code number via the control unit C, and the operations in each of the above steps (b) to e) are not repeated for all powders specified in the prescription;
It consists of the process of mixing and packaging all the powdered medicines obtained, and the process of pasting the journal pudding (P) obtained by each of the above operations onto the prescription in a manner that allows comparison 1. In the medication error prevention system according to the present invention having the above-mentioned configuration characteristics, (7) the process specifies the target prescription, prints out the prescription, and stores the prescription in the storage unit M or the CPU. It can be recorded in an external auxiliary memory word am. next,(
b) In the process, the storage form of the powder medicine, that is, the form of the powder medicine stored and stored in the medicine bottle is limited due to the act of taking out the medicine from the medicine bottle. This is based on the act of human confirmation selection based on the name, but since the medicine bottle is accompanied by a code number that corresponds to the medicine name, it is combined with the reader iR in the next (1) process. This makes it possible to mechanically read the code number and input the read signal to the memory j1M of the CPU.

In this case, as shown in FIG. 3, the code number is in the form of a bar sheet 3 affixed on the outer wall surface of the medicine bottle 2, in which a plurality of bar codes 4 are arranged in order in the vertical direction, Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the reading device R has a circuit box 12 in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped, and a signal conversion device, a lifting drive machine, etc. are built in the circuit box 12, and a drive machine is mounted on the drive machine. The other end of the vertical driving rod extends to the front outside through the two track holes 13, and the remaining end of the driving rod has a mounting base 5 horizontally arranged along the wall surface. Intermittent gripping claws 6 and 7 are disposed at the upper portions of both ends of the cylindrical body 9 and a cylindrical body 9 with a built-in illumination and light receiving device, and an axial illumination 11 between them. Teru 1 with a hole in the tip, Hikari Herad 1
0, the detection pen 8 is clamped and fixed in its body part 9 by the respective clamping claws 6 and 7 through the respective intermittent parts, and the circuit box near the illumination head 10 of the detection pen 8 in the fixed state. A switch 11 is disposed on the switch 12 to open and close the code number detection operation circuit when operated from the direction facing the illumination port 10' of the detection pen 8, and a flat plate is disposed on the lower side from the illumination port Iff' of the detection pen 8. It can be configured as a pen stand device #11 consisting of a table 14 having a surface, and when the medicine bottle and reading device in the embodiment of the above configuration features are used, the illumination of the pen 8 to detect the bar code 4 is possible. When the medicine bottle 2 is placed on the table 14 so as to face the opening 1σ, and the medicine bottle 2 is further moved in the direction of the detection pen 8 and the switch 11 is turned on, the detection pen 8 emits light from its illumination port. At the same time as the start, the detection pen 8 moves up and down once on the mounting table 5, sequentially illuminates the barcode 4 on the sheet 3, checks whether light is received, reads the designated code number of the medicine bottle, and reads this reading. It performs the function of converting signals and outputting them to the CPU.

Therefore, by applying the medicine bottle and reading device in the above embodiment to the dispensing process in the system according to the present invention, the designated code number of the medicine bottle can be determined extremely quickly and the handling of the medicine bottle can be made almost as easy as in the conventional method. Similarly, it is possible to input data to the CPU.

In this way, when the code number attached to the medicine bottle is input to the CPU through the above steps, the code number is stored in the CPU's memory M (or auxiliary memory M) in advance. A certain type of sankuwana is outputted as a sensing signal such as sound or light by a transmitter (IFR) by the selection control function of the acupuncture unit 0 and control unit C. In other words, a human operation such as taking out a medicine bottle from a shelf is performed. At this point, the operator is forced to take out the powder and check the powder since a warning is issued in close temporal proximity to the detection signal 1.

Therefore, the accuracy of powder medicine selection can be ensured in this excess amount.

From the medicine bottle taken out in this way, the powder medicine of the designated public company is manually collected and weighed (in the next step), and the weighed value is inputted into the storage unit M of the CPU online from the weighing machine Bf. and is printed out on a yarn print P via the arithmetic unit 0 and the control unit C). Therefore, errors in writing weighing values can be eliminated and the t/J value can be stored and retained.

Next, in the (1/7) process, the operations (a) to (1) above are repeated for all the powders specified by the prescription, so each finger device of each of the specified powders is used to collect each sample. In addition, the total defeated kuwana used for preparation and the respective amounts collected are stored and further printed out in the journal print 1-Pi.

Further, the above-mentioned collected powders are mixed uniformly and suitably packaged using a device such as an automatic packaging machine.

(The error process is to affix a journal print P, which is a printout of various data obtained in the above (power) process, on the same paper as the prescription entry, and therefore, the contents of the prescription This makes it possible to compare and confirm the information and data that match actual dispensing operations at a glance.

In this way, (operations in the feather process) provide data for confirming the presence or absence of medication errors or providing data for the audit.

The packaged medicines obtained by color separation are audited using the above documents.
For example, after checking the total weight, the handover to the patient is determined.

In addition, for example, by storing the input data in the above steps (1) and (e) in the auxiliary storage device m' via the calculation unit 0 of the CPU, the residual amount and storage date of various powders can be stored. It can be saved as a record and can be inspected and searched extremely easily. In addition, the theoretical value of a given powder medicine is inputted in advance and stored in an auxiliary storage device m', etc., and compared with the input data in the above steps (1) and (4), and when the weight is over, a notification will be displayed. It is also possible to program the system to issue a warning.

As described above, the present invention maintains almost the same flow of dispensing operations in pharmacies as in conventional methods, while omitting the procedures for writing prescriptions and dispensing documents at each step of the operation. To provide a medication error prevention system that simplifies and speeds up dispensing operations, secures accuracy by calling attention to operation contents and acknowledges them, and records and stores actual operation contents as they are.
