  First, a patient who visits a hospital causes the insurance card reader 2 to read the insurance card he / she brought before receiving a medical examination. As a result, the insurance card reading device 2 reads, for example, a name and an insurance card number as information necessary for the hospital to carry out a process related to insurance for expenses incurred during treatment of the patient recorded in the insurance card (S100). ).

  The insurance card reading device 2 assigns a diagnosis ID based on the read insurance card information, and stores it in the diagnosis information storage means 4 in association with the insurance card information. An example of the examination information storage means 4 in this state is shown in FIG. In FIG. 4, the medical examination ID “1234” is assigned to the insurance card inserted by the former.

  When the examination ID is newly stored in the examination information storage unit 4, the examination ticket reading device 5 issues an examination ticket recording the examination ID to the patient (S110). For example, an examination ticket in which the examination ID “1234” is recorded on a magnetic stripe or an IC chip is issued to the former.

  By doing so, the former waits for the order of medical examination and receives medical examination by a doctor. The doctor inputs the result of the examination from the computer terminal for the electronic medical record, and accepts it by the examination result input accepting means 6 (S120). Here, the doctor inputs items to be described in the electronic medical record, such as the patient's disease name and prescription drug information. In the electronic medical record, patient attribute information, past medical history, current examination results, and the like are recorded. Therefore, the examination result input reception means 6 stores a new examination result for the patient in the electronic medical record storage means 7 (S130).

  After completion of the examination, the patient causes the examination ticket reading device 5 to read the examination ticket again (S140). Here, the examination ticket reading device 5 reads the examination ID recorded on the examination ticket, and reads the insurance card information corresponding to the examination ID stored in the examination information storage means 4.

  When the examination ticket can be normally read by the examination ticket reading device 5, for example, the monitor provided in the dispensing pharmacy information providing system 1 displays that the dispensing pharmacy can be searched, and is input from an input device such as a keyboard, mouse, or touch panel. When searching for a pharmacy, an input of conditions desired by the patient, such as a parking lot, within a few minutes from the hospital, within a few minutes from the station, etc., is accepted (S150). If there is no particular hope, an input of “no hope” may be accepted.

  For example, when the user visits by car, the user inputs “parking available” as the desired condition.

  When the condition input accepting unit 8 accepts the input of the desired condition or accepts the input of no hope, the pharmacy searching unit 9 reads the insurance card information read from the examination information storage unit 4 by the examination ticket reading device 5 (the insurance of the former) Based on the identification information), information such as the medical history, physical condition, prescription medicine, etc. of the patient (the former) stored in the electronic medical chart storage means 7 is acquired. Information on at least prescription drugs and physical conditions (restricted items relating to patient behavior such as lower body insufficiency, right body insufficiency, wheelchair use, etc.) are acquired (S160). For example, when the patient “Class A” is a wheelchair user, information on “Wheelchair use” and information on medicines prescribed for Class A are acquired as physical conditions.

  The pharmacy search means 9 allows the patient to select a dispensing pharmacy based on the information on the desired conditions acquired from the wish input accepting means, the information on the prescribed medicine stored in the examination information storage means 4, and the information on the physical condition. The dispensing pharmacy information storage means 10 is searched for a dispensing pharmacy that satisfies the minimum requirements for use. That is, in the case of the former, a dispensing pharmacy satisfying “barrier-free” including “prescribed parking”, prescribed medicine is searched (S170). When the pharmacy information storage means 10 is shown in FIG. 5, for example, the dispensing pharmacies “A” and “D” are searched as dispensing pharmacies that can be used at the minimum.

  When the pharmacy search means 9 searches for a dispensing pharmacy that can be used at least by the patient A, the search result is passed to the inquiry means 11. Then, the inquiry means 11 transmits an inquiry request for waiting time for receiving the medicine to the computer terminal used by the searched dispensing pharmacy (here, dispensing pharmacies “A” and “D”) (S180). And the waiting time which is the result of the inquiry is received from each computer terminal used by the dispensing pharmacy, and the expected time is calculated (S190).

  When inquiring about this waiting time, the expected time when the medicine can be received may be calculated by adding the waiting time as a result to the time when the search result is received by the pharmacy searching means 9. Alternatively, it may be calculated by adding the time required to move from the hospital to the pharmacy and the expected waiting time received from the computer terminal of the dispensing pharmacy at the time when the search result is received. In order to calculate the time required for movement, the process can be realized by calculating the movement route from the hospital to the dispensing pharmacy stored in the route information storage means 13 and acquiring the expected movement time based on the movement route.

  For example, 30 minutes is acquired as a waiting time from the computer terminal of the dispensing pharmacy “A”, and when the time when the result is received is 11:00, 11:30 is calculated as the expected time, and the dispensing pharmacy “ 15 minutes is acquired as the waiting time from the computer terminal “D”, and 11:15 is calculated as the expected time.

  In this way, when the expected time at which the patient can receive the medicine is calculated at the dispensing pharmacy that can be used by the patient at a minimum, the additional information search means 12 can provide a route from the hospital to the dispensing pharmacy that arrives at the expected time. Is searched based on the route information storage means 13, and the weather information at the predicted time is searched based on the weather information storage means 14 (S200). By providing the route to the dispensing pharmacy and information on the weather in this way, it is possible to prepare in advance, for example, using a taxi or bringing an umbrella instead of walking. Since the patient is ill, it is required that the physical strength is not consumed as much as possible. By providing such information together, the burden on the patient is reduced.

  In this way, the output device 15 outputs information on the dispensing pharmacy that can be used at a minimum by the patient, the expected time at which the medicine can be received, the route to the dispensing pharmacy, and the weather at the expected time, using a screen or a printer. Based on this, the patient goes to the dispensing pharmacy that he / she wants to use and receives the medicine. When the output device 15 outputs information about the dispensing pharmacy, etc., by specifying one dispensing pharmacy that the patient plans to use, the dispensing pharmacy information providing system 1 sends the information to the computer terminal of the selected dispensing pharmacy. Then, the reservation may be made by sending a request for a visit station reservation, information on medicine, information on an insurance card, and the like.

Further, before the output by the output device 15, the dispensing pharmacy searched by the pharmacy searching means 9 is stored in the desired condition of the patient who received the input by the condition input receiving means 8 or the patient's electronic medical record in the electronic medical record storage means 7. The pharmacy search means 9 determines how much the history information, physical condition information, prescription drug information, etc. used when searching for the dispensing pharmacy match, and the matching rate is high. It is also possible to provide a means for sorting in order from the dispensing pharmacy and outputting by the output device 15 after sorting.

By using the present invention, it is possible to provide information on a dispensing pharmacy that can be surely used by the patient in consideration of the characteristics of the individual patient.
