FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing the detailed operation of the control computer 21 in the operation of storing the medicine in the medicine shelf 71. First, the control unit 211 determines whether or not the link data from the handy terminal 5 has been received via the communication unit 219 (step S11). When the link data is received, the control unit 211 transmits the medicine box transmitted by the handy terminal 5. A bar code (JAN code) and a terminal ID (terminal bar code) are acquired (step S12). Then, the control unit 211 refers to the medicine information table 224, and acquires the medicine ID, medicine name, medicine description, and character emphasis attribute associated with the acquired JAN code of the medicine box (step S13). And based on the acquired information, the content of the medicine shelf information management table 225 is updated (step S14). At this time, the stock quantity in the medicine shelf information management table 225 is set to 0 and the expiration date is unknown. Subsequently, the image creation unit 220 creates screen data to be displayed on the corresponding medicine shelf terminal 7 and transmits it to the medicine shelf terminal 7 (step S15). As a result, the normal screen is displayed on the display unit 62 of the medicine shelf terminal 7. FIG. 16 shows an example of a screen displayed on the display unit 62 of the medicine shelf terminal 7.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 17, the detailed processing operation of step S15 (normal display processing) shown in FIG. 15 will be described. FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing the detailed processing operation of step S15 (normal display processing) shown in FIG. First, the control unit 211 acquires various types of information from the medicine information table 224 (step S21) and also acquires various types of information from the medicine shelf information management table 225 (step S22). Then, it is determined whether or not the acquired character emphasis attribute is 1 (step S23). If the presence / absence of the character emphasis attribute is 1 as a result of this determination, the first character to the (From-1) character of the medicine name are set as normal characters in the image creation buffer (step S24).

  Next, the From character to the To character of the medicine name are set in the image creation buffer as emphasized characters (step S25). Further, the (To + 1) character to the end of the medicine name are set as normal characters in the image creation buffer (step S26). In this example, the emphasized character means that only “20 mg” of “20” is made a large character, the font of the emphasized character is used, or the character color is changed. Depending on usage, the drug may be “20” mg or “40” mg, and the drug name may be the same and only the volume may be different. By doing so, mistakes in picking can be prevented. On the other hand, if the presence or absence of the character emphasis attribute is not 1, the medicine name is set as a normal character in the image creation buffer (step S27).

  Next, the control unit 211 converts the medicine ID into barcode data (barcode image) and sets it in the image creation buffer (step S28). Subsequently, the control unit 211 sets an explanatory character string in the image creation buffer (step S29). Then, the character string of inventory quantity and expiration date is set in the image creation buffer (steps S30 and S31). Next, the image creation unit 220 creates an image for a display screen based on the data set in the image creation buffer (step S32), and transmits it to the medicine shelf terminal 7 having the target terminal ID (step S32). S33). As a result, the display screen shown in FIG. 18 is displayed on the target medicine shelf terminal 7.

The screen display image data shown is created (step S224). Then, the image creation unit 220 transmits the created screen display image data to the patient portable terminal 8 (step 225).

  On the other hand, when the picking of all the medicines is completed, the image creating unit 220 identifies the patient name, the medicine name, the medicine quantity, and the accounting amount from each table, and displays the screen display image data indicating that the work is completed. Is created (step S226). FIG. 49 shows an example of image data for screen display indicating that the work is completed. Then, the image creation unit 220 transmits the created screen display image data to the patient portable terminal 8 (step S227). Thus, screen display based on the screen display image data shown in FIG. 49 is performed on the patient portable terminal 8. Subsequently, the control unit 221 updates the prescription queue table 227 (step S228). As shown in FIG. 50, the update of the prescription queue table 227 confirms whether or not the picking of all the medicines has been completed upon receipt of the picking completion notification. Is deleted. In the example shown in FIG. 50, the information of prescription No. 001234 is deleted, and the prescription work in progress flag of prescription No. 005678 is set to 1.

  In the configuration shown in FIG. 1, the control computer 21 is described as being provided with the TAP 2. However, only the control computer 21 connected to the receptacle 1 is provided, and the function of the TAP 2 that automatically supplies the medicine is not necessarily limited. It does not have to be provided. That is, there is no system for automatically supplying medicines, and the pharmacy is provided with only a plurality of medicine shelves 71, and the medicine shelf terminals 7, POS terminals 3, wireless relays attached to the drawers of the respective shelves. Only the machine 4, the handy terminal 5, the prescription confirmation terminal 6, and the patient portable terminal 8 may be used. Further, the control computer 21 may have the function of the receipt computer 1. Furthermore, if necessary, the prescription confirmation terminal 6 and the patient portable terminal 8 may be omitted if necessary.

  Moreover, although the example which lights LED65 in order to show the position of the medicine shelf terminal 7 was demonstrated, LED65 was abbreviate | omitted and the display part 62 blinked etc., and the medicine shelf terminal 7 which should pick a chemical | medical agent You may make it show a position. By doing in this way, since the structure for lighting LED65 can be abbreviate | omitted, the structure of the terminal 7 for medicine shelves can be simplified, and cost can be reduced.

  In addition, when the medicine to be managed is stored in the pharmacy in a state where it is contained in a packaging box for transport from the manufacturer, the medicine shelf terminal 7 is attached to the packaging box, and the processing operation described above is performed. Thus, the management process may be performed in the same manner as the medicine shelf 71. Since the medicine shelf terminal 7 can be attached anywhere, by attaching the medicine shelf terminal 7 to a predetermined management target, the management process can be performed in the same manner as the medicine shelf 71 by the processing operation described above. It becomes possible.

  In the above explanation, the example of managing the unit of information to be managed with one prescription number has been explained. However, when multiple prescriptions for the same patient are brought into the pharmacy, One reception number may be issued and management may be performed in units of this reception number. Even in this case, since it is equivalent to the case where a plurality of medicines are prescribed by one prescription, the management processing can be similarly realized by the processing operation described above.

  As described above, a terminal capable of displaying information is attached to or carried by each management target (medicine shelf 71, prescription drug tray 61, patient to receive medicine) according to an instruction from the control computer. Because the information displayed on the terminal is changed according to the progress of the picking work performed by the pharmacist, and the picking work can be performed reliably, the medicine handled by the pharmacy is not managed by the automatic medicine supply system. In addition, a management function equivalent to that of an automatic medicine supply system can be realized, and an error in the kind of medicine delivered to a patient can be prevented, and medicine inventory management can be reliably performed.

  It can be applied to applications where picking a drug is indispensable by manual operation of a pharmacist.
