Although the personal computer 22 has a well-known configuration, the personal computer 22 has a treatment room task processing means 22a realized by an operation program. The treatment room service processing means 22a executes a predetermined process relating to the treatment room service. In addition, the predetermined processing related to the treatment room operation controls and drives one of the dispensing mechanisms 28 to dispense the medicine corresponding to the barcode scanned by the barcode scanner 23, and transmits the predetermined information related to the dispensing of the medicine. The processing includes transmission to the medicine unit terminal 2.

FIG. 5 is a functional block diagram showing an electrical configuration of the medicine unit terminal 2. As shown in FIG. As shown in this figure, the medicine unit terminal 2 includes a personal computer 51, a barcode scanner 52, a keyboard 53, a display 54, a kanji printer 55, and a card reader 56, and the barcode scanner 52, the keyboard 53, the display 54, the kanji A printer 55 and a card reader 56 are connected to the personal computer 51, respectively. The transceiver 7 and the modem 11 are connected to the personal computer 51, respectively.

The barcode scanner 52 is for reading a barcode formed in a storage box in which a medicine is stored in a medicine storage or a replenishment box used when replenishing a medicine. The keyboard 53 is used by an operator of the apparatus to input various necessary information to the personal computer 51. The display 54 is for displaying various necessary information to the operator of the apparatus. The kanji printer 55 is for printing a delivery instruction slip. The card reader 56 is for reading a patient ID card in which personal information of a patient is stored.

By the way, the personal computer 51 has a well-known configuration, but has a medicine department business processing means 51a realized by an operation program. The pharmacy service processing means 51a executes predetermined processing relating to pharmacy service. In addition, the predetermined process regarding the medicine department business includes a process of receiving predetermined information related to the dispensing of medicine from each treatment room terminal 1 and managing the use state of the medicine based on this information.

Next, the operation of the medicine dispensing management system configured as described above will be described.

First, the personal computer 22 of the treatment room terminal 1 waits for the replenishment mode to be designated or the reading of the patient ID card by the card reader 27 (steps 7a and 7b in FIG. 7).

When the operator takes out the medicine, the operator first reads the patient ID card of the patient to be administered with the medicine to be taken out by the card reader 27, and then reads the bar code formed on the label 24 corresponding to the medicine to be taken out. The code is scanned by the code scanner 23. It should be noted that the label 24 has the name of the medicine described in the form of a bar code, so that the operator can easily determine the bar code to be scanned.

The personal computer 22 is normally in the dispensing mode. When the patient ID card is read by the card reader 27 without specifying the replenishment mode, the medicine to be dispensed is specified by the barcode scanner 23. Or wait for the payout to end (steps 7c and 7d). When the barcode is scanned by the barcode scanner 23 as described above, the personal computer 22 performs a dispensing process for dispensing the specified medicine (step 7e). Specifically, the barcode scanner 23 determines the barcode from a signal obtained by reading the barcode, and instructs the payout mechanism 28 corresponding to the barcode to pay out the ampule 29.

In the payout mechanism 28, an instruction from the personal computer 22 is given to the push-up member drive mechanism 28c. Then, upon receiving an instruction from the personal computer 22, the push-up member driving mechanism 28c moves the chemical push-up member 28b up and down by one reciprocation. When the chemical lifting member 28b moves upward, one of the ampules 29 stored in the chemical storage tray 28a located on the front side of the rack 21 is raised. When the chemical lifting member 28b reaches the position indicated by the broken line in FIG. 3, the ampule 29 rolls out from the discharge port 21a to the discharge tray 21b. When the chemical lifting member 28b returns to the position shown by the solid line in FIG. 3, the ampoule 29 remaining on the chemical storage tray 28a rolls on the chemical storage tray 28a, and becomes clogged on the front side of the rack 21.

Thus, each time an instruction is given from the personal computer 22, one ampoule 29 is dispensed to the dispensing tray 21b. Note that the personal computer 22 returns to step 7c after performing the payout process for one barcode scan in step 7e, so that the above-described operation is repeated every time the barcode scanner 23 scans a barcode. Then, the ampules of the designated medicine are dispensed one by one to the dispensing tray 21b.

When the removal of the medicine corresponding to one patient is completed, the operator performs a predetermined key operation on the keyboard 25 or a predetermined payout such as scanning the barcode for designating the end with the barcode scanner 23. A termination instruction is issued.

を 受 け る Upon receiving the dispensing end instruction, the personal computer 22 transmits the dispensing status management information relating to the current medicine dispensing to the medicine part terminal 2 (step 7f). The dispensing status management information includes the treatment room identification information, the patient ID, the type of dispensed medicine, the dispensed quantity of each medicine, and the like.

払 The dispensing status management information transmitted from the treatment room terminal 1 in this manner is transmitted to the LAN line 5 by the transceiver 6 and further distributed to the medicine unit terminal 2 via the server 4. The medicine unit terminal 2 creates fee management information as needed based on the arriving dispensing status management information, and transmits it to the host 14. The fee management information includes a patient ID, a type of the dispensed medicine, a dispensed quantity of each medicine, and the like.

The host 14 waits for charge management information to arrive in the standby state or to instruct charge calculation (steps 8a and 8b in FIG. 8). Then, as described above, the fee management information is transmitted from the medicine unit terminal 2, and when it arrives, the upper host 14 takes in the distributed fee management information and stores it in a built-in memory or an external storage device (not shown). Hold.

When a predetermined charge calculation instruction is issued in the standby state, the upper-level host 14 corresponds to a patient whose charge is to be calculated from the charge management information held in the built-in memory or an external storage device (not shown). The fee is calculated in consideration of the items (step 8d). The result of this calculation is displayed on a display or printed out by a kanji printer, for example.

On the other hand, the personal computer 51 of the pharmacy unit terminal 2 waits for the dispensing status management information to arrive in the standby state, for the issuance of the delivery instruction slip, or for the replenishment mode to be designated (FIG. Steps 9a, 9b and 9c in 9). Then, as described above, the dispensing status management information is transmitted from the treatment room terminal 1, and when the dispensing status management information is distributed via the server 4, the personal computer 51 incorporates the dispensing status management information based on the distributed dispensing status management information. The inventory management information stored in the stored memory or the external storage device (not shown) is updated (step 9d). The stock management information is information indicating the stock amount of each medicine stored in the rack 21 of each treatment room terminal 1 and the like.

When a personal computer 51 issues a delivery instruction slip by a predetermined key operation on the keyboard 53 or the like in the standby state, the personal computer 51 refers to the stock management information stored in the built-in memory or an external storage device (not shown). Then, a delivery instruction slip, which is a list of, for example, the stock of medicines and the amount of replenishment in each treatment room, is created and printed out by the kanji printer 64 (step 9e).

The worker of the medicine department refers to the delivery instruction slip issued as described above, and performs a work (picking) of taking out necessary medicines among the medicines stocked in the medicine stocker into a predetermined replenishing box. Replenishment boxes corresponding to various types of medicines are prepared, and a barcode corresponding to the corresponding medicine is formed in each replenishment box. Also, barcodes corresponding to the respective chemicals are formed in the storage boxes storing the chemicals in the warehouse. Therefore, the operator causes the barcode scanner 52 to sequentially scan the barcode formed on the storage box and the barcode formed on the refill box.

At this time, the personal computer 51 shifts the processing from step 9c in response to the designation of the replenishment mode, and waits for the barcode scanner 52 to scan the barcode (step 9f). When one of the barcode formed on the storage box and the barcode formed on the replenishment box is scanned by the barcode scanner 52, the personal computer 51 reads a signal obtained by the barcode scanner 52 reading the barcode. The bar code is determined, and the result of the determination is stored and held in the internal memory (step 9g).

Further, the personal computer 51 waits for the barcode scanner 52 to scan the barcode (step 9h). When the other barcode is scanned by the barcode scanner 52, the barcode scanner 52 reads the barcode. The bar code is determined from the signal obtained in step (9i).

Next, the personal computer 51 collates the barcode determined and stored in step 9g with the barcode determined in step 9i (step 9j). Here, in the present embodiment, the same bar code is formed in each of the storage box and the refill box. Therefore, if the medicine to be taken out of the refill box and the refill box to which the medicine is to be transferred have a correct relationship, the two barcodes should match in the collation in step 9j.

Therefore, the personal computer 51 determines whether or not the two barcodes match in the collation in step 9j (step 9k). If the two barcodes match, an authentication process (step 91) is performed. The processing (step 9m) is performed. Note that the authentication processing and the alarm processing are processings for notifying that the medicine take-out destination is correct or that there is an error in the medicine take-out place by, for example, displaying on the display 54 or a notification sound.

The personal computer 51 transmits the medicine use status to the upper host 14 via the modem 11, the communication line 12, and the modem 13, and in the medicine management system provided in the upper host 14, each treatment room in a certain period. Various statistics such as the amount of chemicals used can also be taken.

When the worker has correctly transferred all the medicines to be taken out to the replenishing box in accordance with the delivery instruction slip, the operator transports the replenishing box to the treatment room of the replenishment destination and replenishes the rack 21 of the treatment room terminal 1.

At this time, the operator specifies the replenishment mode by, for example, a predetermined key operation on the keyboard 25 of the treatment room terminal 1, and then replenishes the barcode formed in the replenishment box and the medicine in the replenishment box. The barcode formed on the label corresponding to the medicine storage tray 28a is sequentially scanned by the barcode scanner 23.

At this time, the personal computer 22 of the treatment room terminal 1 shifts the processing from step 7a in accordance with the designation of the replenishment mode, and waits for the barcode scanner 23 to scan the barcode (see FIG. 7). Step 7h). When one of the barcode formed on the replenishment box and the barcode formed on the label corresponding to the medicine storage tray 28a for replenishing the medicine contained in the replenishment box is scanned by the barcode scanner 23. The personal computer 22 determines the bar code from the signal obtained by the bar code scanner 23 reading the bar code, and stores the determination result in the internal memory (step 7i).

Further, the personal computer 22 waits for the barcode scanner 23 to scan the barcode (step 7j). When the other barcode is scanned by the barcode scanner 23, the barcode scanner 23 reads the barcode. The barcode is determined from the signal obtained by the above (step 7k).

Next, the personal computer 22 collates the barcode determined and stored in step 7i with the barcode determined in step 7k (step 71). Here, in the present embodiment, the same bar code as the bar code formed on the refill box corresponding to the medicine stored in the dispensing mechanism 8 corresponding to the label 24 is formed on the label 24. Therefore, if the medicine to be replenished and the medicine storage tray 8a to replenish the medicine are correctly selected, the two barcodes should match in the collation in step 71.

Therefore, the personal computer 22 determines whether or not the two barcodes match in the collation in step 71 (step 7m). If the two barcodes match, the supplementary authentication processing (step 7n) is performed. An alarm process (step 7o) is performed. The replenishment authentication process and the alarm process are processes for notifying that the medicine replenishment destination is correct or that the medicine replenishment destination is erroneous, for example, by displaying on the display 26 or notifying sound.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the treatment room terminal 1 pays out only one medicine corresponding to the barcode scanned by the barcode scanner 23, and integrates the number of medicines to be paid out for each patient. As a result, the dispensing state of the medicine can be accurately managed, and there is no need for manual management work such as bookkeeping.

Further, according to the present embodiment, each time the medicine dispensing for one patient is completed, the fee management information including the patient ID, the type of the dispensed medicine and the dispensing quantity of each medicine is transmitted from the medicine unit terminal 2 to the upper host 14. The host computer 14 calculates the fee for each patient in consideration of the fee management information. As a result, there is no need to notify the medical use section of the treatment room from the treatment room or to input the use state of the medicine in the upper-level host 14, so that no communication error or input error occurs, and furthermore, the use was performed for each patient. After accurately grasping the medicines, it is possible to calculate the charge by reliably adding the cost of each medicine, thereby preventing erroneous billing such as omission of billing. In addition, since there is no need to notify the medical use section from the treatment room of the medicine use status and to input the medicine use state in the host 14, the work in the treatment room and the medical care section can be greatly reduced, and the time required for the charge calculation can be reduced. Thus, the patient's accounting waiting time can be reduced.

Further, according to the present embodiment, every time the medicine dispensing for one patient is completed, the dispensing state management information including the identification information of the treatment room, the type of the dispensed medicine, the dispensing quantity of each medicine, and the like is provided. To the medicine unit terminal 2, and the medicine unit terminal 2 manages the stock amount of medicine in each treatment room based on the dispensing status management information. Thus, the stock status of each treatment room can be accurately grasped in the medicine section, and the constant management of the medicine in each treatment room can be easily and effectively realized. In addition, since the medicine unit can perform the constant management of the medicine without any intervention of the operator in each treatment room, the labor can be reduced and the medicine can be quickly replenished. In addition, since the stock status of medicines in each treatment room can be accurately grasped, inventory management can be simplified and dead stock can be prevented.

Further, according to the present embodiment, at the time of medicine replenishment work, the medicine unit terminal 2 performs comparison and collation of the barcode formed on the storage box and the barcode formed on the replenishment box to determine whether the picking is correct or not. In the treatment room terminal 1, the replenishment is correctly performed by comparing and comparing the barcode formed in the replenishment box with the barcode formed on the label 24 corresponding to the replenishment destination medicine storage tray 8a. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the medicine from being mixed up in the course of the medicine replenishment work, and to effectively prevent the medicine containing tray 8a from being refilled with the wrong medicine. This eliminates the problem that a medicine different from the medicine specified at the time of dispensing is dispensed.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, in the above-described embodiment, a system in which the treatment room terminals 1-1 to 1-n and the medicine unit terminal 2 are connected via the LAN line 5 is illustrated, but a simple communication cable or a public telephone line is used. You may connect. Further, the system in which the upper host 14 is connected to the medicine unit terminal 2 via the modems 11 and 12 is illustrated, but may be connected as a medical section terminal via a LAN line. Furthermore, the function of the treatment room terminal 1 and the function of the medicine unit terminal 2, the function of the treatment room terminal 1 and the host 14, or the function of the treatment room terminal 1, the function of the medicine unit terminal 2 and the function of the host 14 are united. , And information can be exchanged internally between the functions in this terminal.

In the above embodiment, the description has been made on the assumption that the medicine contained in the ampoule 29 is handled. However, other kinds of medicines may be used. However, in this case, it is necessary to change the structure of the payout mechanism 28. The specific structure of the dispensing mechanism 28 can be modified even when the ampule 29 is handled.

Further, in the above embodiment, one medicine is dispensed each time the barcode is scanned once. However, in combination with the quantity designation using the keyboard 25 or the like, a plurality of medicines are dispensed according to one barcode scan. May be paid out.

In the above embodiment, the barcodes formed on the storage box, the refill box and the label 24 are all the same. If all the barcodes are the same as described above, the correspondence can be easily determined based on whether or not the two barcodes match. For example, the correspondence between the storage box, the replenishment box, and the medicine storage tray 8a can be determined. When the relationship is changed, there may be a problem that the barcode formed for each needs to be changed. Therefore, when such a problem occurs, the corresponding relationship is registered in the personal computers 22 and 51 without unifying the bar codes. In the replenishment mode, each barcode may be collated with reference to the registered correspondence to determine the validity of the picking and replenishment position.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, a large number of the dispensing trays 21b and the medicine containing trays 28a are provided. A storage section for storing the medicine may be formed.

ほ か In addition, various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
