Description

  The present invention relates to a medicine name check device and a medicine name check program for checking a medicine name inputted as a prescription order to a computer.

  Conventionally, in hospitals and clinics, doctors input prescription orders to computers, prescriptions based on the prescription orders are performed in pharmacies, prescription drugs are administered to patients, and medical accounting processing is performed based on the prescription orders. The ordering system performed is widely used.

  In this ordering system, there is a major premise that the medicine prescribed based on the prescription order must first be safe for the patient, and various medicine checks are performed to increase the safety of the prescription.

For example, a prescription ordering system is disclosed that performs various checks such as upper limit check, long-term administration check, patient contraindication check, and contraindication check with other medical department prescriptions issued on the day when prescription order is issued. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1).
JP 2002-183304 A (page 1-3, FIGS. 1 and 2)

  In the conventional prescription ordering system, when the doctor sequentially inputs the name of the medicine to be prescribed, starting from the first character, a method such as so-called “forward match search” or “intermediate match search” using the entered characters. As a result, several drug names are extracted from the drug name master, and a list of extracted drug names is displayed on the screen of the display device. A method in which a doctor selects a desired drug name from the drug name list and issues a prescription order is widely adopted.

  However, as new drugs are developed one after another due to advances in medicine and pharmacy in recent years, drugs with similar names are increasing among drugs used in medicine.

  Therefore, there are many drug names with similar names in the drug name master provided in general hospitals, and a doctor enters some characters at the beginning of the drug name when trying to prescribe a drug. In addition, many similar drug names are extracted from the drug name master, and a list thereof is displayed on the screen. There is no problem if the doctor correctly selects the desired medicine name from the list, but it is also possible that the poison or powerful medicine is erroneously selected from the list.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a prescription example in the conventional prescription ordering system.

  As shown in FIG. 9, for example, when a doctor 91 tries to prescribe a medicine “saccin”, if the first three characters “sakushi” are input, “succin” and “succin” starting from the character string “sakushi” Are extracted from the drug name master, and the list is displayed on the terminal device.

  Here, if the doctor 91 erroneously selects “succinzone” as a poison from the displayed list, the prescription order is issued as it is.

  In the pharmacy, even if the pharmacist 92 sees the prescription order and has doubts about “succinone”, in some cases, “succinone” may be prescribed, so “succinone” is unconditional with a contraindication check. If the audit is OK, the poison “succinzone” is mistakenly prescribed as a result.

  If the nurse 93 who received the prescribed “succinone” suspects “succinone” and administers “succinone” to the patient 94 as it is, a serious medical accident will be caused.

  In view of the above circumstances, an object of the present invention is to provide a medicine name check device and a medicine name check program that can easily confirm a medicine name ordered.
