Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-236749

  In order to exchange data between the pharmacy server 52 and the headquarter server 55, the format of the data must be unified. This data format is usually determined by the manufacturer that provides the headquarter server 55 and the pharmacy server 52. For this reason, if the manufacturers of the pharmacy server 52 and the headquarter server 55 are different, communication cannot be performed between them. In order to perform communication, a program for converting the data format must be added to the pharmacy server 52 or the headquarter server 55. In the future, it seems that opportunities to connect pharmacy servers 52 of various manufacturers to the headquarters server 55 will increase due to business tie-ups between pharmacies and corporate acquisitions.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a pharmacy sales information system capable of connecting a terminal installed in a pharmacy to a headquarter server with minimal program change. Another object of the present invention is to provide a headquarter server, a receptacle, and a receptacle program used in the pharmacy sales information system.

  According to one aspect of the present invention, a reading unit that reads dispensing data in the same data format as an electronic receipt output from a reception computer arranged in a pharmacy, a storage unit that stores data, and a reading unit that reads the data A headquarter server having a processing unit for storing dispensing data in the storage unit is provided.

  According to another aspect of the present invention, when a dispensing computer installed in a pharmacy is subject to social insurance or national health insurance, the insurance payment is provided. The electronic receipt is output in a data format that can be read by the fund system, and when the dispensing service is not covered by social insurance or national health insurance, the data format is the same as the electronic receipt data format. A receipt computer that outputs related dispensing data and a program thereof are provided.

  According to still another aspect of the present invention, when a dispensing computer installed in a pharmacy is subject to social insurance or national health insurance, The electronic receipt is output in a data format that can be read by the payment fund system, and when the dispensing service is not covered by social insurance or national health insurance, the dispensing service has the same data format as the electronic receipt data format. A receipt computer that outputs dispensing data related to the medicine, a reading unit that reads dispensing data output from the receipt computer, a storage unit that stores data, and dispensing data read by the reading unit are stored in the storage unit A pharmacy sales information system having a headquarters server including a processing unit is provided

  The current receptacle has a function of creating an electronic receipt. For this reason, it is possible to easily add a function of creating dispensing data having the same data format as the electronic receipt data format. By using this receptacle, the headquarters server can receive dispensing data in a common data format from receptacles of various manufacturers.

  In FIG. 1, the block diagram of the receptacle 2 used with the pharmacy sales information system by an Example is shown. The receptacle 2 includes an input unit 3, an insurance application presence / absence determination unit 4, an electronic receipt creation unit 5, and a dispensing data creation unit 6. The input unit 3 includes a keyboard, a mouse, a barcode reader, or an interface circuit with a local area network. Via the input unit 3, the attributes of the customer described in the insurance card, information on the medicine sold to the customer, and the like are input to the receipt computer 2. The Recekong 2 calculates the price of the medicine dispensed according to the prescription, the insurance score, the dispensing reward, and the like.

  For dispensing services not covered by social insurance or national health insurance, such as dispensing services to which automobile liability insurance is applied, dispensing services at their own expense, etc., there is no need to calculate insurance points. For this reason, conventionally, regarding such a dispensing service, information on medicine has not been input to the receptacle 2. In the present embodiment, information relating to the dispensed medicine is also input to the receptacle 2 through the input unit 3 even for dispensing services not covered by social insurance or national health insurance. The input information includes information indicating whether the dispensing service is insurance applied or not.

  The insurance application presence / absence determination unit 4 determines whether the dispensing service related to the input information is insurance application or non-insurance application.

  When the dispensing service is insurance-applied, the electronic receipt creation unit 5 creates an electronic receipt. The electronic receipt has a data format that can be read by a computer of the social insurance medical fee payment fund and the National Health Insurance Association, and is recorded on a magnetic recording medium such as a flexible disk. Further, the dispensing data creation unit 6 creates dispensing data in the same data format as the electronic receipt. When the dispensing service is not covered by insurance, the electronic receipt is not created, and the dispensing data creation unit 6 creates dispensing data in the same data format as the electronic receipt. The dispensing data is recorded on a magnetic recording medium such as a flexible disk or transmitted to another computer through an electric communication line.

  Electronic receipt and dispensing data include dispensing date, pharmacy identification information that identifies the pharmacy that dispensed, doctor identification information that identifies the doctor that prescribed the prescription, medical institution identification information that identifies the medical institution where the prescription was prescribed, And region identification information for specifying the prefecture to which the medical institution where the prescription is prescribed belongs, drug type information for specifying the type of drug dispensed based on the prescription, and usage information for specifying the dispensed amount.

  FIG. 2 shows a block diagram of the headquarter server 10 of the pharmacy sales information system according to the embodiment. The headquarter server 10 includes an input unit 11, a processing unit 12, and a storage unit 13. Dispensing data created by the receptacles 2A to 2C installed in each of the pharmacies 1A to 1C is input to the headquarter server 10 through the input unit 11. The input unit 11 includes a reading device that reads data recorded on a magnetic recording medium such as a flexible disk, or a receiving device that receives dispensing data transferred via an electric communication line.

  The storage unit 13 has storage areas for an inventory database, a sales database, a sales summary database by doctor, a sales summary database by medical institution, a sales summary database by region, and the like. The stock database stores medicines and stocks for each pharmacy. The sales database stores the dispensing date, the name of the medical institution that prescribed the medicine, the name of the doctor, and the sales for each pharmacy and each medicine. The doctor-by-doctor sales summary database stores the names of medical institutions, dispensing dates, prescription drugs, and sales for each doctor who prescribes a prescription. The sales summary database for each medical institution stores the dispensing date, the prescribed medicine, and the sales thereof for each medical institution that has prescribed the prescription. The regional sales summary database stores the dispensing date, the prescribed medicine, and the sales thereof for each area to which the medical institution prescribing the prescription belongs, for example, for each prefecture.

  The processing unit 12 analyzes the dispensing data input via the input unit 11 and updates the inventory database and the sales database. Furthermore, the sales database is periodically accessed, sales data is compiled by doctor, medical institution, and region, and the doctor-by-doctor sales summary database, medical institution sales summary database, and region sales summary database are updated.

  When there is an information provision request from the information analysis company 20, the requested information is provided based on the information stored in each database. For example, it is possible to obtain desired information in real time by arranging a network terminal in an information analysis company and connecting the network terminal and the headquarter server 10 with an electric communication line. The data provided to the information analysis company is statistical data obtained by collecting various data, and the headquarter server 10 is provided with security measures so that personal information is not leaked.

  The electronic receipts created by the receptacles 2A to 2C installed in the pharmacies 1A to 1C are sent to a payment fund 21 such as a social insurance medical fee payment fund or a national health insurance group federation. In the future, if the insurance system is revised and an organization is established to replace the Social Insurance Medical Fee Payment Fund or the National Health Insurance Association Federation, an electronic receipt will be sent to this organization. Furthermore, in the future, it is also assumed that an electronic receipt will be sent directly from the pharmacy to each health insurance association.

  Hereinafter, specific examples of information provision will be described. The division of pharmaceuticals has progressed, and sales of ethical drugs at insurance pharmacies have increased compared to sales of ethical drugs at hospitals and clinics.

  Drugs are usually sold with a document that describes the effects, precautions, and dosage. When a medical institution purchases a medicine, a pharmaceutical manufacturer can know which medicine has been purchased by which medical institution from the drug sales performance. If you can know the medical institution that purchased your medicine, you can quickly provide emergency safety information, safety information, revision information on usage precautions, revision information on package inserts, etc. to the medical institution. This makes it possible to prevent the occurrence of side effects.

  However, since medical institutions that issue out-of-hospital prescriptions do not purchase medicines, pharmaceutical manufacturers can know the insurance pharmacy that purchased their medicines, but it is difficult to know the medical institution that prescribed the medicine. .

  In addition, as the cooperation between the hospital and the clinic increases, the types of medicines prescribed at the clinic increase. Furthermore, with the penetration of “family pharmacies”, the number of medical institutions accepted by one insurance pharmacy tends to increase. This makes it increasingly difficult for pharmaceutical manufacturers to identify the medical institution that prescribes their medicines.

  As a result of the revision of medical fees in fiscal 2006, as a part of measures to curb medical expenses, if a prescribing doctor approves the patient, the insurance pharmacy will replace the new drug (generic drug) with a generic drug (generic drug). It became possible to prescribe. However, it was difficult to easily know how much the substitute amount from the original product to the generic product was.

  In the pharmacy sales information system shown in FIG. 2, the headquarter server 10 has the following functions, for example.

  When the information analysis company 20 receives an information provision request regarding the name of a medical institution that prescribes a certain medicine, the headquarter server 20 extracts the medical institution that prescribes the medicine from the sales aggregation database for each medical institution. The extracted result is provided to the information analysis company 20. From this information, the pharmaceutical manufacturer can acquire information on which medicine of the company is prescribed by which medical institution. Similarly, it is also possible to obtain information about a doctor who prescribed a medicine. Based on this information, pharmaceutical manufacturers provide medical institutions with emergency safety information, safety information, revision information on usage precautions, revision information on package inserts, etc. promptly and appropriately. It becomes possible.

  When the information analysis company 20 receives a request for providing information on sales of a certain starting product and a plurality of subsequent products of the same component, the headquarter server 20 extracts the sales of the starting product and the subsequent products from the sales database. . The extracted result is provided to the information analysis company 20. From this information, it is possible to verify the effect of suppressing medical expenses by using generic products. Furthermore, by extracting sales for each dispensing year, it is possible to obtain a time series of the status of substitution from the original product to the generic product.

  When the information analysis company 20 receives a request for providing information related to sales of a certain medicine by region, the headquarters server 20 extracts the region where the medicine is prescribed and the sales from the sales tabulation database by region. The extracted result is provided to the information analysis company 20. From this information, it is possible to obtain the usage amount of the medicine by region. As a result, it is possible to know the state of disease occurrence by region, and it is possible to provide appropriate life guidance for health maintenance by region.

  In the above embodiment, the dispensing data input to the headquarter server 10 has the same data format as the electronic receipt charged to the social insurance medical fee payment fund or the like. Rececons installed in pharmacies already have the ability to create this electronic receipt, even if the manufacturers are different. Therefore, the dispensing data creation function can be added to the current receptacle without significant program modification.

  It is sufficient for the input unit 11 of the headquarter server 10 to have a function of reading dispensing data having the same data format as that of the electronic receipt, and it is necessary to prepare a function of reading dispensing data in various data formats different for each manufacturer. There is no. Even when a new manufacturer's receiver is connected to the headquarters server, there is no need to modify the program of the headquarters server.

  Although the present invention has been described with reference to the embodiments, the present invention is not limited thereto. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications, improvements, combinations, and the like can be made.
