Definitions

  • Portable prescription control computers have been developed for use by smaller pharmacies to organize the filling and dispensing of medicaments.
  • these prior art portable systems either lack many components and features needed to prevent prescription filling and dispensing errors or are too large, cumbersome, and difficult to use.
  • An operator such as a pharmacist or pharmacist technician may use the workstation either as a stand-alone device or in conjunction with an automatic medicament storing and dispensing apparatus.
  • the workstation first retrieves or is sent prescription data corresponding to a prescription to be filled from a pharmacy host computer.
  • the monitor displays certain parts of the prescription data such as text information and/or an image of the medicament or product that fills the presc ption so that the operator can locate a supply container for filling the prescription.
  • the operator scans container indicia on the supply container with the indicia reader, and the computer compares the scanned indicia to the prescription data to determine whether the proper supply container was retrieved.
  • Fig. 4 is a block diagram of certain components of the workstation.
  • the computer 16 controls the other components of the workstation and communicates with a pharmacy host computer 52 (Fig.4) for retrieving prescription data therefrom.
  • the computer may be any computing device such as a central processing unit (CPU) of a conventional personal computer or a custom programmed PLC or processor.
  • the pharmacy host computer may be any computer running a pharmacy prescription dispensing management program such as those provided by QS/1 Pharmacy Computer System Software.
  • the computer 16 is configured to access one or more databases 54 such as an attribute database containing information relating to medicaments that are to be dispensed and a prescription database containing prescription data and information. This attribute database preferably includes graphic images of medicaments as well as other identifying information.
  • the databases may reside in either the computer 16 or the pharmacy computer 52 or may be stored in memory separate from but accessible by eitherthe computer orthe pharmacy computer.
  • the workstation 10 When the workstation 10 is used as a stand-alone device, it includes its own separate computer 16 that communicates with the pharmacy host computer 52.
  • the printer 18 is coupled with and controlled by the computer and is preferably positioned within the interior chamber of the housing 14.
  • the printer is preferably a label-type printer and is described in more detail in co-pending patent application entitled Label Printing Assembly For Use With a Medicament Dispensing
  • the label printer includes a label peeler assembly 56 that communicates with the label slot 42 in the hinged panel 40 to discharge printed prescription labels therefrom.
  • the monitor 22 is coupled with the computer 16 and is preferably mounted to the enclosure so that it can be shifted between a lowered, forward position illustrated in Fig. 3 and a raised, rearward position illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2.
  • a cover panel 58 mounted adjacent the monitor covers the open top of the enclosure to prevent access to the label printer and other components housed in the enclosure.
  • the monitor and cover panel are shifted rearward away from the open top of the enclosure to permit access to the label printer and other components within the enclosure.
  • the monitor is preferably a flat screen-type computer monitor.
  • the monitor 22 is hingedly attached to the enclosure 14 by a pair of pivotally mounted L-shaped brackets 60, 62.
  • each bracket is coupled with a pneumatic cylinder 64, 65 that has one end fixed to the enclosure.
  • the pneumatic cylinders maintain the position of the monitor after it has been shifted to either its raised or lowered positions.
  • a pair of spring-tensioned rods 66, 68 are connected between the hinged panel 40 and the lower end of each bracket 60, 62.
  • the workstation 10 also includes mechanism that maintains the monitor in an upright, viewable position as it is shifted between its raised and lowered positions.
  • the mechanism includes a sprocket 70 rotatably mounted to the lower end of each bracket, a sprocket 72 rotatably mounted to the upper end of each bracket, and a chain or belt 74 trained across the sprockets.
  • the upper sprockets are mounted to a shaft 76 that is fixed to the monitor casing by a slip clutch.
  • the sprockets and chain act as a four-bar linkage to maintain the upright orientation of the monitor so that it can always be easily viewed.
  • the slip clutch coupled with the top sprocket allows the orientation or angle of the monitor to be manually adjusted.
