Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a prescription and medicine providing system which solves the conventional problem that the relation between a patient and a doctor or the patient and a pharmacy is fixed and consultation service provided for the patient or medicine reception is geometrically and temporally restricted. SOLUTION: The patient is flexibly connected to doctors and pharmacies by a network, so the patient can freely select a doctor and a pharmacy. The patient sends personal information for identifying oneself to the selected doctor and then the doctor after examining the patient sends a prescription number to the patient and also stores the prescription number, personal information, prescription contents, etc., on the computer of the doctor. The pharmacy takes the personal information and prescription contents out of the doctor's computer according to the prescription number that the patient shows. The pharmacy provides medicines for the patient only when the personal information that the patient presents match the personal information taken out of the doctor's computer.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a prescription / drug providing system for providing a prescription to a pharmacy by exchanging information among patients, doctors, and pharmacies, and for providing a drug to the patient from the pharmacy. The present invention relates to a method and a recording medium.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When a doctor provides a patient with a medicine, two typical methods have conventionally been used. One is a method in which a doctor passes a prescription or drug prescription information directly to a patient. The other is a method in which a doctor passes drug prescription information to a pre-designated pharmacy, and then the patient goes to the designated pharmacy to receive the drug.

[0003] For this reason, it has been difficult for the patient to select a doctor far away from the place of residence or commuting route.
In recent years, services have been proposed to reduce the need for doctors to hand prescriptions to patients using Internet services.However, such services have taken measures to protect patient privacy and prevent drug abuse. In addition, there is a problem that the patient can only receive the medicine at a designated pharmacy. Therefore, it is still difficult for patients to select a doctor far away from their place of residence or commuting route.

For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-135816 discloses a "wide-area medical information system" which provides medical services by connecting a medical information management section for storing information such as doctors, patients, pharmacies, and patient charts via a wide-area network. A system is disclosed. However, the system lacks a way to identify the patients who should receive the drug at the pharmacy. For this reason, there is a risk that a third party may impersonate the patient, obtain a psychotropic drug, a sex life improving drug, or the like, and abuse it. Further, when the medicine is passed on to a third party, the kind of the patient's disease or the like can be known, and there is a high risk of privacy being violated.

In the above system, the destination of the prescription by the doctor and the place of receiving the medicine are limited to the pharmacy designated in advance by the patient. Can not.

Further, in the system, the medical information center and the wide area network are indispensable in order to issue a prescription or provide a medicine to a patient,
In a one-to-one communication mode via a modem and a telephone line,
It is difficult to realize. As the wide area network, the Internet is generally used, but in order for a patient to join such a network, a subscription to an Internet provider or the like is required, and as a result, the patient is forced to pay a new expense. . In addition, it is necessary to set a unique network address to specify a patient and a doctor.

[0007]

As described above, in the prior art, the relationship between a patient and a physician and the relationship between a patient and a pharmacy are fixed. There was a time constraint. For example, it was virtually impossible for patients to receive medication while traveling, and the physicians they could choose from were very limited.
Further, in the conventional method, it is impossible to determine whether or not the patient who receives the medicine is the person himself, and there is a risk that personal information of the patient is leaked or a third party claims to take the patient and take the medicine.

[0008]

According to a first embodiment of the present invention, a patient terminal for transmitting personal information including information for identifying a patient, receiving the personal information, and transmitting the personal information and the patient A doctor terminal that sends prescription information including information identifying a storage location of prescription content to the patient terminal,
A prescription / drug providing system is provided that includes the pharmacy terminal that acquires the personal information and the prescription content using the storage location identification information presented by the patient.

[0009] Thus, the patient can be examined by a desired doctor and can receive the medicine at any pharmacy. In addition, since the data related to the patient's prescription is managed and transmitted on the communication line, the risk of leaking the data to a third party is reduced.

According to a second embodiment of the present invention, the prescription and medicine providing system of the first embodiment compares the personal information obtained by the pharmacy terminal with the personal information presented by the patient, If they match, providing means for providing the patient with a drug corresponding to the prescription content is added.

[0011] Thus, it is possible to prevent a third party from impersonating the patient and illegally receiving the medicine.

According to a third embodiment of the present invention, a step of transmitting personal information including information for identifying the patient from a patient, a step of receiving the personal information by a physician, After consulting, sending to the patient prescription information including the personal information and information identifying the storage location of the prescription content for the patient, a pharmacy, using the storage location identification information sent from the patient, A method of providing a prescription / medicine, comprising the steps of acquiring the personal information and the contents of the prescription, is provided.

[0013] Thus, the patient can be examined by a desired doctor and can receive the medicine at any pharmacy. In addition, since the data related to the patient's prescription is managed and transmitted on the communication line, the risk of leaking the data to a third party is reduced.

According to a fourth embodiment of the present invention, a step of transmitting personal information including information for identifying the patient from a patient, a step of receiving the personal information by a doctor, and After consulting, sending to the patient prescription information including the personal information and information identifying the storage location of the prescription content for the patient, a pharmacy, using the storage location identification information sent from the patient, There is provided a computer-readable recording medium recording a program for realizing a method of providing a prescription / medicine, comprising a step of acquiring the personal information and the contents of the prescription.

[0015] Thus, the patient can be examined by a desired doctor and can receive the medicine at any pharmacy. In addition, since the data related to the patient's prescription is managed and transmitted on the communication line, the risk of leaking the data to a third party is reduced.

[0016]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS First, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment 100 of a prescription / medicine providing system realized by using a one-to-one communication mode. Such one-to-one communication is generally easily and inexpensively realized using a modem and a telephone line. The doctor terminal 110, the patient terminal 120, and the pharmacy terminal 130 shown in FIG. 1 are usually personal computers that are widely used. According to the above-described communication mode, the computer can communicate with only one target at a certain point in time.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing a process performed by a patient, a doctor, and a pharmacy using their respective terminals, together with the timing with others.

First, the patient 121 is diagnosed by the doctor 111 who wishes to make a diagnosis, using the patient terminal 120, the doctor terminal 110 and the communication line 151 connecting these terminals shown in FIG. Done.

First, the patient accesses the doctor terminal 110 of a desired doctor from the patient terminal 120, and personal information (for example, a license number or a health insurance card number) for identifying the patient himself / herself.
Is transmitted to the doctor terminal 110 (step S1 in FIG. 2).
0).

Such personal information can include data on the patient's constitution, medical history, and lifestyle in addition to the above information, and is used as a reference when a doctor makes a diagnosis.

In addition, there is a plan to make a health insurance card into a card using an IC card in the future (April 9, 2000).
The Nihon Keizai Shimbun dated), in such a case, patient 12
1 can transmit personal identification information in the IC card directly to the doctor terminal 110 using a card reader or the like.
Furthermore, there is a plan to include a past medical history, a diagnosis history, and the like in the IC card. In that case, such information can be transmitted to the doctor terminal 110.

Thereafter, the doctor 111 examines the patient,
In the form of so-called telemedicine using multimedia, the patient terminal 120 is a personal computer or a videophone equipped with imaging means such as a CCD camera, and the doctor terminal 110 is equipped with a display means such as a CRT display. In this case, the doctor 111 can make an inquiry about the symptoms of the patient 121 while watching the image displayed on the display means. In addition, in some cases, the doctor 111 can make an inquiry by telephone, e-mail, or the like to determine the patient's symptoms.

In this way, the doctor 111 determines the prescription suitable for the patient on the spot or thereafter based on the symptoms and the like of the patient 121 and, via the doctor terminal 110 and the communication line 151, the contact number of the doctor. Is transmitted to the patient terminal 120 (step S12).

Thereafter, the doctor records the prescription number and the contents of the prescription together with the personal information of the patient in the storage means of the doctor terminal 110 (step S14). The contact number includes a network address or telephone number of the doctor terminal, and information indicating a predetermined position of a storage unit of the doctor terminal 110 in which personal information of the patient and prescription contents of the patient are recorded. Further, the contact number may include data for identifying a doctor and data for identifying a hospital.

When the patient 121 receives the prescription number from the doctor terminal 110, the patient 121 receives the prescription number from the pharmacy terminal 13 from the patient terminal 120.
The prescription number is transmitted to communication No. 0 via the communication line 152 (step S16).

The pharmacy terminal 13 receiving this prescription number
The pharmacist 131 using the pharmacy terminal 130, the communication line 153, and the doctor terminal 110 using the contact number and the like of the doctor included in the prescription number is stored in the storage unit of the doctor terminal 110. Access the patient 121
Receiving the prescription content and personal information for
18, S22).

Thereafter, the patient 121 presents personal information such as a car driver's license number and a health insurance number to the patient 121 in response to a request from the pharmacist 131 (step S2).
0). Here, it is determined whether the information matches the personal information obtained from the doctor (step S24). If both information match (YES in step S26), pharmacist 1
31 dispenses according to the prescription content received from the doctor terminal 110, and hands the medicine 140 to the patient 121 (step S28).

As described above, there is a concept that the health insurance card is made into a card using an IC card. In such a case, the patient 121 can present this IC card in step S20. . Further, since the IC card stores information for identifying an individual as data, it can be directly read into the pharmacy terminal 130 via a card reader or the like.

If they do not match (N in step S26)
O), assuming that the patient 121 is not actually the one who has been examined by the doctor 111, take the necessary prescribed treatment without performing dispensing (step S30).

Here, the comparison of the personal information is performed by the pharmacist 131. For example, the patient inputs personal information to a predetermined terminal, and the terminal determines whether the two personal information match each other. May be provided.

According to the above procedure, the patient 121 can be examined by a desired doctor 111,
Eleven designated drugs 140 can be received at any pharmacy 131. That is, the conventional fixed relationship between the patient, the doctor, and the pharmacy is flexibly linked by one-to-one communication, and the geographical and temporal restrictions on the medical service and the reception of the medicine are eliminated.

The transmission and reception of data using the communication lines 151 to 153 can be performed by a human without using the communication line, if necessary. For example, the process of the patient 121 presenting the prescription number to the pharmacist 131 can be presented together with the personal information to the travel destination pharmacy without passing through the communication line 152 when the patient 121 is at a travel destination.

Here, as shown in FIG.
Presents personal information directly to the pharmacist 131 or pharmacy without passing through the prescription / drug provision system 100. With this, the pharmacist 131 or the pharmacy can obtain confirmation that the presented person is the target patient 121, and prevent an unauthorized act such as a third party impersonating the patient and receiving the medicine. Can be. Further, the prescription number is transmitted to the patient, but the prescription content itself is not transmitted. This can prevent a third party from viewing, falsifying, or stealing the contents of the prescription.

Information exchanged via the communication lines 151 to 153 and information including the patient's personal information held by the doctor 111 are encrypted by an appropriate method.

Further, the patient 121 is not limited to a human,
Similar principles can be applied to animals. In this case, the doctor 111 is a veterinarian.

In the above description, the delivery place of the medicine has been described as a pharmacy. However, in the practice of the present invention, it is not necessary to limit the place providing such a function to the pharmacy (of course, regulation of related laws such as the Pharmaceutical Affairs Law) Is assumed)). For example, the patient can be specified and the medicine can be provided by a convenience store near the patient's residence or a courier service visiting the patient's residence.

Further, in the above embodiment, the patient
Although the drug was directly received by the presentation of prescription information and personal information, due to various circumstances, once only the prescription was received at a place other than a pharmacy such as a convenience store,
The prescription can be presented to a pharmacy to ultimately receive the drug.

As described above, the patient can receive the medicine in various variations, and the geographical and temporal restrictions on the medicine reception are further alleviated.

Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

The prescription / medicine supply system 200 shown in FIG. 3 uses a wide area network 230 such as a LAN, a WAN, and a MAN. Wide area network 2
Reference numeral 30 may include a company LAN, an intranet, or the Internet.

The system 200 further includes a symptom data net server 210 and a pharmacy management net server 220 in addition to a plurality of doctor terminals 110, patient terminals 120, and a plurality of pharmacy terminals 130. Although only one patient terminal 120 is shown in FIG. 3, this is shown focusing on one patient 121 for easy understanding. That is, a plurality of doctors 111 and a plurality of pharmacists 131 are related to one patient. In practice, such an association will exist for only a few patients. Also, in FIG. 3, the same numbers are assigned to the same system components as in FIG.

FIG. 4 shows a patient 121 and two doctors 11
1, a pharmacy management net server 220, and a flowchart showing the processing flow in a pharmacy (pharmacy terminal 130 or pharmacist (pharmacy) 131), including the timing of others.

The doctor terminal 110 and the patient terminal 1 shown in FIG.
20, unlike the configuration of FIG. 1, the pharmacy terminal 130 needs to have a mechanism capable of accessing the wide area network 230. A typical example of such a wide area network is the Internet, but in order for each terminal to access the Internet, generally, after contracting with an Internet service provider called an Internet provider, the terminal of the provider is contacted. It is necessary to connect using a modem and a telephone line.

The symptom data network server 210 has a so-called electronic bulletin board 213 used by the doctor 111 and the patient 121 to share information. To access this bulletin board, in the case of the patient 121, the server 2
It is necessary to be a person registered in the patient registration DB 211 in 10, and in the case of the doctor 111, it is necessary to be a person registered in the doctor registration DB in the server 210.
These registrations are performed in advance according to a predetermined contract or the like.

However, the patient 121 can write on the bulletin board 213, but cannot see the contents other than his / her own writing, for example, the writing of other patients. All patients 1
You can see the contents written in 21.
It is desirable that writing to the H.13 cannot be performed.

Here, the patient registers in the symptom data net, and writes his / her own symptom on the bulletin board 213 of the server 210 (step S50 in FIG. 4). Doctors who are also registered in the symptom data network respond to the written symptoms, and doctors (doctors A and B shown in FIG. 4) who intend to take charge of subsequent treatments inform the patient to that effect. (Steps S52 and S54). Such contact is made by bulletin board 213
Can be done using However, in this case, it is desirable that the communication from the doctor can be referred only to the patient himself. It is also possible for a doctor to contact a patient directly by e-mail or telephone.

Such communication may be made by a plurality of doctors at the same time, as shown in FIG. In this case, the patient 121 selects one doctor from the plurality of doctors who have been contacted, and transmits personal information such as a car driver's license number and a health insurance card number to the doctor via the bulletin board 213. . In FIG. 4, the patient selects the doctor A from the answered doctors A and B, and sends personal information to the doctor (step S56).

If the doctor 111 determines that it is necessary to consult the patient 121, the patient 121
Book an appointment with Regardless of whether or not this visit is made, the doctor 111 transmits the prescription number to the patient 121 via the wide area network 230 based on the result of the diagnosis (step S58). If there is an appointment for an appointment with a doctor, the details can be included in the prescription number.

In conjunction with the transmission of the prescription number, the doctor 11
1 is to the pharmacy management net server 220 via the wide area network 230,
The prescription number and the contents of the prescription corresponding to the prescription number are transmitted (step S62), and the server 220 stores them in the storage means (step S64). in this way,
The pharmacy management net server 220 stores and manages various information transmitted from each doctor 111, and, as described later, receives a request from a pharmacist (pharmacy) 131.
The contents are sent to the pharmacy terminal 130.

The patient 121 receiving the prescription number from the doctor 111 presents the number to an arbitrary pharmacy 131 (step S60). The patient 121 can receive the drug at any convenient pharmacy, such as near his home, on his way to work, or while traveling. Although the prescription number can be presented directly to the pharmacy, the patient terminal 120 transmits the prescription number from the pharmacy terminal 1 via the wide area network 230.
30 can also be sent.

The pharmacist 131 who has received the prescription number from the patient 121 accesses the pharmacy management net server 220 via the wide area network 230, and obtains the prescription content corresponding to the prescription number and the patient's personal information ( Steps S66 and S72).

Next, the pharmacist 131 receives the presentation of the personal information from the patient 121 (step S70), and determines whether or not the personal information is the same (step S74). Since it is easy to confirm whether or not the patient is the person who presents the personal information, and it is possible to prevent an act such as spoofing or fraud, it is desirable that the patient or the agent directly present the personal information. However, if the authentication / encryption is a highly realized system, it can be transmitted as data on the wide area network 230.

When both personal information matches (YES in step S76), the pharmacist 131 prepares a medicine according to the prescription, and delivers the medicine to the patient 121 (step S78). On the other hand, when the personal information does not match (NO in step S76), the dispensing is not performed, and a predetermined necessary treatment is taken (step S80). As described above with reference to the first embodiment, it is also possible to take in the judgment of such personal information as a function of the system and automatically make a predetermined terminal.

As in the first embodiment described above, in the above procedure, information exchanged via the communication means and information on the server are encrypted by an appropriate method.

Also, as in the first embodiment, according to the present embodiment, the patient 121 can have a medical doctor 111 consult a desired doctor 111, and can transfer the medicine 140 specified by the doctor 111 to an arbitrary pharmacy 131. Can be received at That is, the conventional fixed relation between the patient, the doctor, and the pharmacy is flexibly connected via the network, and the geographical and temporal restrictions on the medical care service and the reception of the medicine are eliminated.

As described above, the transmission and reception of data performed using the communication lines 151 to 153 can be performed by a human without using the communication line, if necessary. For example, the process of the patient 121 presenting the prescription number to the pharmacist 131 can be presented together with the personal information to the travel destination pharmacy without passing through the communication line 152 when the patient 121 is at a travel destination.

Also, the prescription number is transmitted to the patient, but the prescription content itself is not transmitted, so that the risk of browsing, falsifying, stealing, etc. of the prescription content by a third party can be minimized.
