[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in the case of selling medical-related products such as medical supplies, a transaction form via an agent has been generally used.
At that time, as the procedure, it is necessary to place an order / delivery request using the telephone or FAX, deliver the product by the delivery company, and charge and collect the payment using the mail or bank transfer. And mediates between them.

On the other hand, in recent years, the sale of merchandise via a network has become widespread, and realization of merchandise sale via a network is also desired in the sale of medical supplies and the like.

[0004]

However, in selling medical-related products such as medical supplies, the following restrictions impede the spread of product sales through the same network as general products. Was becoming. First,
Regarding the handling of medical supplies, as stipulated in the Pharmaceutical Affairs Law, "appropriate use of medical equipment" and "reliable delivery of products to medical institutions" are required. Therefore, in the sale of medical-related products, strict caution is required in handling the products as compared with general products other than medical-related products. That is, it is necessary to prevent a situation in which a medical-related product sold is mistakenly delivered to a person other than the purchaser and is misused.

[0005] In particular, when selling through a network, more caution is required because fraud such as spoofing a medical institution is more likely to occur than when selling face-to-face with the purchaser. Secondly, since medical institutions or medical workers who purchase medical-related products have high social credibility, they sell medical-related products under the credibility even though they sell relatively expensive products. Sometimes collateral, etc. is not currently set. On the other hand, in view of the recent situation of medical policy,
It is expected that the number of medical institutions, etc. whose business conditions will deteriorate will increase, and the above credit will not necessarily be high. Therefore, when selling medical products,
It is considered that the need for credit check of sales destinations will increase, but when conducting credit check for each new transaction, there will be problems in time and cost, and when trying to sell through the network, network There arises a problem that speediness, which is a great advantage of the sales form through the sale, is impaired.

Thirdly, the price of medical supplies such as pharmaceuticals is revised every two years. Therefore, the price presented to the purchaser will be revised each time the price is revised, but each drug has a medical insurance score set, and even if the same drug has different scores depending on the usage, complicated revision work is required. Must be done. Therefore, it takes a lot of time and labor to revise the offer price to the purchaser, and when there are multiple price presenting entities, the price revision work must be performed for each of them, which reduces the processing efficiency. I was invited.

Due to such restrictions, it has been impossible to sell medical-related products such as medical supplies through a network in a sales system similar to general products. Therefore, it has been difficult to receive the profits of the product sales form via the network, for example, the profits such as the speed, efficiency, and certainty of the processing relating to the ordering.

An object of the present invention is to make it possible to sell medical products such as medical supplies safely and efficiently via a network.

First, referring to FIG. 8, the operation of the entire medical supplies sales system 1 will be described.

FIG. 8 is a diagram showing the flow of medical product sales using the medical product sales system 1. When medical supplies are sold using the medical supplies sales system 1, a person involved in the medical institution first accesses the medical institution authentication server 10 from the terminal device 60-1 (step S1).

Then, the medical institution authentication server 10 determines, based on the medical institution code transmitted from the terminal device 60-1, whether or not the medical institution can be authenticated (step S2). When it is determined in step S2 that the medical institution is not certifiable, the medical institution authentication server 10 transmits a message indicating authentication disapproval to the terminal device 60-1 (step S3), and the medical product sales process. Ends.

On the other hand, when it is determined in step S2 that the medical institution can be authenticated, the medical institution authentication server 10 transmits a message indicating authentication permission to the terminal device 60-1 (step S4). Terminal device 60-1
In response to this, accesses the credit server 20 (step S5). In this system, the credit server 20 can be accessed only after the medical institution authentication server 10 is authenticated. Therefore, the medical institution authentication server 10 transmits to the credit server 20 that the medical institution identified by the medical institution code or the like has been authenticated, and the credit server 20 identifies the medical institution by the medical institution code or the like. Access to the credit server 20, or a method of controlling the access to the credit server 20 only when the authentication is permitted by the function of the application of the terminal device 60-1.

Next, in step S5, the terminal device 60
The credit server 20 accessed from -1 determines whether or not the medical institution can be credited based on the medical institution code of the medical institution (step S).
6). Then, when it is determined that the credit cannot be provided, the credit server 20 transmits a message indicating that the credit cannot be provided to the terminal device 60-1 (step S7), and the medical item sales process ends.

On the other hand, when it is determined that the credit is possible, the credit server 20 transmits a message indicating that the credit is possible to the terminal device 60-1 (step S8).
In response to this, the terminal device 60-1 accesses the price presentation / sale server 30 (step S9). Next, the price presentation / sale server 30 accessed from the terminal device 60-1 in step S9 transmits the price according to the transaction conditions to the terminal device 60-1 (step S10).

The transaction conditions may be the purchase quantity for each transaction, and for specific medical supplies, individual conditions for each medical institution (special sales contract, etc.)
Can also be considered. Then, the person in charge of each medical institution refers to the price presented by the price presentation / sale server 30 to place an order for medical supplies with respect to the price presentation / sale server 30 (step S11).

Then, the price presentation / sale server 30 asks the receipt confirmation server 40 for the name of the medical supplies ordered,
Send transaction information including quantity, delivery destination, etc. (step S
12). Next, the price presentation / sale server 30 instructs the delivery company or the delivery person to deliver the ordered medical supplies (step S13). At this time, as a method of instructing the delivery of the product, a method of transmitting transaction information to a delivery management server which is provided in a delivery company and manages the delivery of the product, and the delivery management server automatically instructs the delivery based on the transaction information. Alternatively, a method is conceivable in which transaction information is transmitted to a management person in charge of a delivery company or the like by e-mail and the like, and the management person instructs the delivery.

Then, the delivery company or the person in charge of delivery, who is instructed to deliver, delivers the medical supplies (step S14),
When delivering the medical supplies to the medical institution of the delivery destination, the delivery company or the like reads the barcode attached to the medical supplies by the barcode terminal, and the read information and the transaction information stored in the receipt confirmation server 40. Confirmation server 40 receives the delivery confirmation notice to confirm whether or not
(Step S15).

Next, the receipt confirmation server 40, which has received the delivery confirmation notification, refers to the transaction information and confirms that the medical supplies have been delivered to an appropriate medical institution.
A reception confirmation signal indicating that the ordered medical supplies have been received by the medical institution that is the delivery destination is transmitted to the price presentation / sale server 30 (step S16). Next, the price presenting / selling server 30 which has received the receipt confirmation signal, the ordered medical supplies are delivered to the medical institution, and the price can be charged.
The payment data (the name, quantity, price, etc. of the medical supplies sold) for making payment for the delivered medical supplies is transmitted to (step S17).

Then, the settlement server 50 which has received the settlement data charges the medical institution related to the settlement by a predetermined method, and the medical institution pays the price by a predetermined method (step S18). As a method of requesting and paying the price at this time, when the settlement server 50 is operated by a financial institution such as a bank, the payment is made by transferring the price to the bank account of the seller, and the medical institution pays for the course. It is possible to use a payment method, a method of automatically withdrawing the payment server 50 from the account of the medical institution when the payment server 50 is operated by a payment agent such as a credit company on the designated date.

When the price is paid by the medical institution, the sales of the medical supplies by the medical supplies sales system 1 are completed (completed). Next, a description will be given of a process performed by each device that constitutes the medical-item sales system 1 in the above-mentioned medical-item sales. First, the medical institution authentication process will be described.

FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing a medical institution authentication process executed by the control unit 12 of the medical institution authentication server 10. The medical institution authentication process is executed when the medical institution authentication server 10 is accessed from the terminal device 60-1 or the like. In addition, here, the terminal device 60-1 will be described as an example. In FIG. 9, the terminal device 60-1 accesses the medical institution authentication server 10, and the terminal device 60-1
When a medical institution in which is installed receives an authentication request for authenticating that the medical institution sales system 1 is permitted to use (step S101), the control unit 12 causes the storage unit 1 to operate.
The medical institution authentication database 13a stored in No. 3 is accessed (step S102). Here, the authentication request includes the medical institution code and password of the medical institution, and the control unit 12 searches the medical institution authentication database 13a based on these pieces of information.

Then, as a result of searching the medical institution database 13a, it is judged whether or not the medical institution can be authenticated (step S103). Then, an authentication non-permission message is transmitted to the terminal device that has accessed the medical institution authentication server 10 (step S104), and the medical institution authentication process ends.

On the other hand, when it is determined in step S103 that the medical institution can be authenticated, the control unit 12 transmits an authentication permission message to the terminal device that has accessed the medical institution authentication server 10, and A predetermined process for permitting access to the credit server 20 from the terminal device is performed (step S105). Here, in order to enable access to the credit server 20 from the terminal device, as described above, the fact that the medical institution identified by the medical institution code or the like has been authenticated is transmitted to the credit server 20, and the credit server 20 is transmitted. Various methods are conceivable, such as a method of controlling access by 20 and a method of controlling access to credit server 20 only when authentication is permitted by the function of the application of terminal device 60-1.

Then, the controller 12 ends the medical institution authentication process. Next, the credit processing will be described. Figure 10
4 is a flowchart showing a credit process executed by the control unit 22 of the credit server 20. The credit processing is executed when the credit server 20 is accessed from the terminal device installed in the medical institution authenticated by the medical institution authentication server 10.

In FIG. 10, when the credit server 20 is accessed from the terminal device 60-1 and the credit request requesting the credit of the medical institution in which the terminal device 60-1 is installed is received (step S201), the control unit 22 , Access the credit database 23a stored in the storage unit 23 (step S202). Here, the credit request includes a medical institution code and the like as in the authentication request, and the control unit 22
Searches the credit database 23a based on these pieces of information.

Then, as a result of searching the credit database 23a, it is judged whether or not the medical institution is creditable (step S203). When it is judged that the medical institution is not creditable, the control unit 22 A non-creditable message is transmitted to the terminal device that has accessed the credit server 20 (step S204), and the credit process ends. On the other hand, when it is determined in step S203 that the medical institution can be credited, the control unit 22 sends a creditable message to the terminal device that has accessed the credit server 20, and the price from the terminal device. Presentation
A predetermined process for permitting access to the selling server 30 is performed (step S205). The method for allowing the terminal device to access the credit server is the same as the method for allowing the terminal device to access the credit server 20 in the medical institution authentication process (the predetermined process in step S105 of FIG. 9). The method of can be considered.

Then, the control unit 22 ends the credit processing. Next, the price presentation / sales process will be described. Figure 1
FIG. 1 is a flowchart showing a price presentation / sales process executed by the control unit 32 of the price presentation / sale server 30. The price presenting / selling process is executed when the price presenting / selling server 30 is accessed from the terminal device installed in the medical institution determined to be creditable by the credit server 20.

In FIG. 11, the terminal device 60-1 is accessed by the price presentation / sale server 30, and the terminal device 60-1 is accessed.
When the price presentation request for requesting the price presentation to the medical institution where -1 is installed is received (step S301), the control unit 32 accesses the price database 33a stored in the storage unit 33 (step S302). Here, the price presentation request includes data indicating transaction conditions such as the medical institution code of the medical institution and the sales volume,
The control unit 32 refers to the information stored in the price database 32a based on this transaction condition.

Then, the control unit 32 refers to the price database 32a and creates individual price data relating to the price of the medical supplies for each transaction according to the transaction conditions (step S
303), the created individual price data is transmitted to the terminal device that has accessed the price presentation / sale server 30 (step S304). Next, when the order data indicating the order details of the medical supplies is received from the terminal device which is the transmission destination of the individual price data (step S305), the control unit 32 displays the order contents and the order data of the medical supplies indicated in the order data. The transaction information including the medical institution code of the medical institution in which the transmitted terminal device is installed is received and transmitted to the confirmation server 30 (step S306).

Then, the control unit 32 controls the network 70.
The delivery company or the person in charge of delivery is instructed to deliver the ordered medical supplies via (step S307), and the price presentation / sales process is terminated. Next, the delivery confirmation notification process will be described. FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing the delivery confirmation notification process executed by the control unit 42 of the receipt confirmation server 40. The delivery confirmation notification process is executed by accessing the receipt confirmation server 40 from the barcode terminal when the delivery confirmation notice is transmitted to the receipt confirmation server 40 when the ordered medical supplies are delivered to the medical institution. It

In FIG. 12, when the receipt confirmation server 40 is accessed from the barcode terminal and the delivery confirmation notice transmitted from the barcode terminal is received (step S5).
01), the control unit 42 determines whether or not the information shown in the received delivery confirmation notification matches the transaction information (step S502). Due to incorrect distribution, the control unit 42
Sends an error message to that effect to the barcode terminal (step S503), and ends the delivery confirmation notification process.

On the other hand, when it is determined in step S502 that the information indicated in the received delivery confirmation notification matches the transaction information, the control unit 42 selects the delivery confirmation notification among the transaction information stored in the storage unit 43. Is added to the information related to the medical supplies that has been received (indicating a flag, etc.) (step S504), and the price is presented.
A reception confirmation signal indicating that the medical supplies have been reliably delivered to the delivery destination medical institution is transmitted to the sales server 30 (step S505).

Then, the control unit 42 ends the delivery confirmation notification process. Next, the payment data transmission process will be described. FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing a payment data transmission process executed by the control unit 32 of the price fixed time / sale server. The payment data transmission process is executed when a reception confirmation signal is transmitted from the price presentation / sale server to the payment server.

In FIG. 13, the price presentation / sales server 3
When the receipt confirmation notification is received from 0 (step S40
1), the control unit 32 transmits the settlement data including the transaction information regarding the sale of the medical supplies, the payment due date of the price, etc. to the settlement server 50 (step S402). Then, the control unit 32 ends the payment data transmission process.

Next, the access processing will be described. FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing an access process executed by the control unit 62-1 of the terminal device 60-1. The access process is executed when a person involved in the medical institution uses the medical supplies sales system from the terminal device 60-1 or the like (accesses the medical institution authentication server 10 or the like).

In FIG. 14, the control section 62-1 is operated by an operator (operator) of the medical institution,
The medical institution authentication server 10 is accessed and an authentication request is transmitted (step S601). Next, the control unit 62-1
A message is received from the medical institution authentication server 10 (step S602), and it is determined whether the received message is an authentication permission message (step S603).

When it is determined that the received message is not the authentication permission message, the control unit 62-1 displays an error message together with the cause (difference in password, etc.) (step S604), and ends the access process. On the other hand, when it is determined that the received message is the authentication permission message, the control unit 62-1 determines that the credit server 2
A credit request is transmitted to 0 (step S605), and then a message is received from the credit server 20 (step S606).

Then, the control unit 62-1 determines whether or not the received message is a message indicating that credit is possible (step S607). Next, when it is determined that the received message is a message indicating that credit is impossible, the control unit 62-1 proceeds to the process of step S604, and when it is determined that the received message is a message that indicates that credit is possible, The control unit 62-1 transmits a price presentation request for requesting the price presentation according to the transaction information to the price presentation / sale server 30 (step S60).
8).

Next, the control unit 62-1 receives the individual price data from the price presentation / sales server 30 (step S
609), the content of the received individual price data is displayed (step S610). Then, a person (operator) of the medical institution refers to the content of the individual price data and inputs the content of the medical supplies to be ordered into the terminal device 60-2 (that is, the control unit 62-1 inputs the content by the operator). Is accepted) (step S611), and the control unit 62-1 transmits the order data indicating the input order contents to the price presentation / sales server 30 (step S612).

Then, the control unit 62-1 ends the access processing. As described above, according to the medical article sales system 1 to which the present invention is applied, only the medical institution authenticated by the medical institution authentication server 10 can use this system. Therefore, even when selling medical supplies through the network, it is possible to prevent a situation where a third party impersonates a medical institution, improperly purchases medical supplies, and misuses them.

Further, in the medical product sales system 1, the credit server 20 credits the medical institution to which the medical product is sold every time the medical product is sold. Therefore, even when selling relatively high-priced medical supplies via the network, the distributor, etc., who sells the products can sell the medical supplies after confirming the ability to pay the price. The price can be collected. In addition, since the credit server 20 credits a medical institution, credit can be promptly provided, and an advantage of quickness of sales processing that a sales form via a network has can be secured. Further, by managing the credit server 20 by a credit information provider or the like, the credit information can be collectively managed, and the latest credit information can always be reflected, so that more accurate credit can be provided. be able to.

Further, in the medical supplies sales system 1, the price presentation / sale server 30 collectively manages the data regarding the prices of the medical supplies to be sold. Therefore, since the price revision work of the medical supplies accompanying the revision of the drug price only needs to update the price database 32a stored in the price presentation / sale server 30, the price revision work can be performed quickly and efficiently, and the network can be improved. It is possible to minimize the influence on the sale of medical supplies through the sale (such as being unable to sell during the price revision work).

In the medical-item sales system 1, when the ordered medical item is delivered, the delivery company or the person in charge of delivery reads the bar code attached to the medical item by the bar code terminal, and the receipt confirmation server 40. After confirming the transaction information stored in, deliver the medical supplies to the medical institution. Therefore, it is possible to prevent erroneous delivery of medical supplies, and prevent medical mistakes and misuse of medical supplies due to erroneous delivery of medical supplies. Further, the system can confirm whether or not the medical supplies are properly delivered to the medical institution, and efficient and reliable distribution can be realized under the control of this system from the ordering to the delivery of the medical supplies.

Due to such an effect, the medical supplies sales system 1 can sell safely and efficiently through the network while overcoming various restrictions of selling medical supplies such as the restrictions based on the regulations of the Pharmaceutical Affairs Law. Can be realized. That is, even in the sale of medical supplies, it is possible to enjoy the benefits of the sales form via the network. In addition,
In the present embodiment, when the terminal device accesses the medical institution authentication server 10 and is authenticated by the medical institution authentication server 10, the terminal device continues to be the credit server 20.
It has been described that the terminal device sequentially accesses a predetermined server such that the terminal device further accesses the price offer / sale server 30 when the credit server 20 credits the user. It is also possible that only the medical institution authentication server 10 can be accessed, and the medical institution authentication server 10 acts on behalf of the terminal device to access each server.

In this case, each server accepts only the access from the medical institution authentication server 10 and does not accept the access from other devices, so that the security of each server and the entire system can be improved. Becomes Further, in the present embodiment, the credit is explained by the credit server 50, but it is not always necessary to make the credit in the present system, and the credit may be carried out by other means.

Further, in the present embodiment, it is explained that settlement of medical supplies sale is performed through the settlement server 50. However, in addition to the method of performing settlement through the settlement server 50, documents and cash can be used as in the conventional case. It is also possible to give and receive the above.

[0119]

According to the present invention, only a medical institution authenticated by an authentication server can access a sales server for selling medical supplies and place an order for medical supplies. Therefore, when the medical supplies are sold, it is possible to confirm that the purchaser is a medical institution without directly facing the purchaser, and it is possible to sell the medical supplies through the network. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a situation where a third party impersonates a medical institution and purchases medical supplies, and the medical supplies are misused.

Further, according to the present invention, it is further determined whether or not the credit server can be credited to the medical institution authenticated by the authentication server, and only the access from the creditable medical institution is accepted. It is possible. Therefore, even when relatively expensive medical supplies are sold through the network, it can be sold after confirming the credit of the medical institution that is the purchaser, and the price of the sold medical supplies can be reliably collected. .
