Next, the operation of the embodiment will be described.
FIG. 5 is a main process flowchart of the embodiment.
FIG. 6 is a process flowchart of the display control process of the embodiment.
FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram of a display operation state of the touch panel display of the handy terminal.

  First, the MPU 51 of the electronic drug shelf 18 determines whether or not a pickup start request is input from the handy terminal 14 or the pickup dedicated information processing terminal device 16 via the communication network 19 and the communication interface 55 (step S11).

FIG. 7A is an explanatory diagram of a display state on the touch panel display 34 when the handy terminal 14 performs a pickup start request operation.
Prior to the pick-up start request, a picking operator (for example, a pharmacist) who is a user of the handy terminal 14 reads a code symbol such as a two-dimensional bar code printed on an order sheet (not shown) by the scanner 37 and performs a picking operation. The ID code (code symbol) of the person's ID card is read by the scanner 37.

As a result, as shown in FIG. 7A, the order number is displayed in the order code display area 61 of the touch panel display 34 of the handy terminal 14, and the ID of the picking worker is displayed in the ID display area 62. The
The picking operator who has confirmed these display contents taps the pickup start instruction button 63.

  As a result, the MPU 31 of the handy terminal 14 outputs a pickup start request including the order number and the picker ID to the electronic drug shelf 18 via the communication interface 38.

On the other hand, if the pickup start request has not yet been input in the determination in step S11 (step S11; No), the MPU 51 of the electronic drug shelf 18 enters a standby state.
If it is determined in step S11 that a pickup start request is input from the handy terminal 14 or the pickup dedicated information processing terminal device 16 (step S11; Yes), an order number is acquired based on the input pickup start request. (Step S12) The ID of the picking worker is acquired (Step S13).

Thereby, the MPU 51 of the electronic drug shelf 18 inquires of the electronic medical record server 11 or the drug part server 13 about the order content (prescription content) using the order number (step S14).
Then, when order contents are acquired from the electronic medical record server 11 or the medicine unit server 13, the MPU 51 of the electronic medicine shelf 18 performs display control of the remaining number display unit 43 and the pickup information display unit 44 (step S15).

  Specifically, the MPU 51 of the electronic drug shelf 18 is connected to any one of the display units 42A to 42C constituting one or a plurality of pickup information display units 44 storing the drug corresponding to the order contents. The pickup quantity corresponding to the order content is displayed (step S21).

FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram of a specific example of display contents.
In the following description, a case where there are three picking workers will be described.
As shown in FIG. 8A, the pick-up quantity corresponding to the first picking worker is displayed on the display unit 42A, and the background color of the number representing the pick-up quantity (“2” in FIG. 8A). Is, for example, blue. Further, the pick-up quantity corresponding to the second picking worker is displayed on the display unit 42B, and the background color of the number representing the pick-up quantity (“1” in FIG. 8A) is, for example, orange. The Similarly, the pick-up quantity corresponding to the third picking worker is displayed on the display unit 42C, and the background color of the number representing the pick-up quantity (“1” in FIG. 8A) is, for example, green. The

Subsequently, the MPU 51 of the electronic drug shelf 18 calculates the total pickup quantity in the storage unit 41 (step S22).
Subsequently, the MPU 51 of the electronic medicine shelf 18 reads out and acquires the remaining number of medicines stored in the EEPROM 54 (step S23).

  In the present embodiment, if the remaining number of medicines stored in each storage unit 41 exceeds a first threshold value (for example, 10), the remaining number is sufficient, and the remaining number is When it becomes less than the second threshold value (for example, 5), it is displayed that the remaining number is insufficient. Further, in order to prompt the picking worker to replenish the medicine, the remaining number exceeds the second threshold value, but the value A when the total pickup quantity is subtracted from the remaining number is equal to or less than the second threshold value. In such a case, a display indicating that there is a possibility that the remaining number may be insufficient is displayed.

Therefore, the MPU 51 of the electronic medicine shelf 18 determines whether or not the remaining number of medicines acquired in step S23 is equal to or less than a first threshold value (for example, 10) (step S24).
If it is determined in step S24 that the remaining number of drugs exceeds the first threshold (step S24; No), the remaining number normal display is performed (step S28).

  Specifically, when the remaining number acquired in step S23 is 35 (> 10), the remaining number display unit 43 displays the remaining number of medicines stored in the storage unit 41 (FIG. 8). In (a), “35”) is displayed, and the background color of the number indicating the remaining number is displayed in a color indicating that the remaining number is sufficient, for example, the remaining number is normally displayed as white.

  If it is determined in step S24 that the number of remaining drugs is equal to or less than the first threshold (step S24; Yes), the MPU 51 of the electronic drug shelf 18 has the second number of remaining drugs acquired in step S23. It is determined whether or not the threshold value (for example, 5) or less (step S25).

  If it is determined in step S25 that the remaining number of medicines exceeds the second threshold (step S25; No), the MPU 51 of the electronic medicine shelf 18 determines the number of remaining medicines obtained in step S23 from step S22. The value A is calculated by subtracting the total number of drugs to be picked up calculated in step S26 (step S26).

Next, the MPU 51 of the electronic drug shelf 18 determines whether or not the value A is equal to or less than a second threshold value (for example, 5) (step S27).
If it is determined in step S27 that the value A exceeds the second threshold value (step S27; No), the remaining number is still sufficient, and as shown in FIG. Normal display is performed (step S28), and the display control process for the storage unit 41 is terminated.

  If it is determined in step S27 that the value A is equal to or smaller than the second threshold value (step S27; Yes), a display indicating that there is a shortage of the remaining number that may be insufficient is displayed (step S29). Then, the display control process for the storage unit 41 ends.

Specifically, in the example of FIG. 8B, the total number of pickups is 11 (= 2 + 8 + 1).
A = remaining number-total number of pickups
= 15-11
= 4 <5 (= second threshold)
It becomes.

  Therefore, the remaining number display unit 43 displays the remaining number of medicines stored in the storage unit 41 (“15” in FIG. 8B), and the background color of the number representing the remaining number is: A color indicating that there is a possibility that the remaining number will be insufficient after pick-up is displayed, for example, a remaining number short notice is displayed in yellow.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S25 that the remaining number of medicines acquired in step S23 is less than or equal to the second threshold value (step S25; Yes), the remaining number shortage display indicating that the remaining number is insufficient is performed ( Step S30), the display control process for the storage unit 41 is terminated.

Specifically, in the case of the example of FIG.
Remaining number = 5 (≦ 2nd threshold)
It becomes.

  Therefore, the remaining number display unit 43 displays the remaining number of medicines stored in the storage unit 41 (“5” in FIG. 8C), and the background color of the number representing the remaining number is: A color indicating that the remaining number is insufficient, for example, the remaining number insufficient display is made red.

In parallel with these, the pick-up operator picks up the medicine instructed on the order sheet.
During the drug pick-up, as shown in FIG. 7B, the order number is displayed in the order number display area 71 on the touch panel display 34 of the handy terminal 14 of the pick-up operator, and the patient name display area 72 is displayed. The name of the patient who is the subject of the prescription of the drug after the pickup is displayed, and the name of the pharmacist who is the pickup operator is displayed in the pickup worker name display area 73.

In addition, the pickup target color display unit 74 displays a color used as a display mode of the display units 42A to 42C corresponding to the storage unit 41 in which the medicine to be picked up by the pickup operator is stored.
Further, a list of medicines corresponding to the order sheet is displayed in the list display area 75 of the touch panel display 34.

The list display area 75 includes a drug name display area 76 for displaying a drug name, and a pickup number display area 77 for displaying the number of corresponding drug pickups.
Since the pickup report button 78 is displayed corresponding to each drug name, the pickup operator who has completed the pickup of any drug taps the corresponding pickup report button 78.

Specifically, in the case of FIG. 7B, the pickup report button 78A is tapped, and the pickup report button 78 has changed from “OK” to “Done”, indicating that the pickup has been completed. Represents.
Therefore, the pickup operator continues the medicine pickup operation until the display of all the pickup report buttons 78 changes from “OK” to “Done”.

  On the other hand, the fact that the pickup report button 78A has been tapped is notified to the MPU 51 of the electronic drug shelf 18 by the MPU 31 of the handy terminal 14, and the MPU 51 that has received this notification displays the display unit (display) corresponding to the drug storage unit 41. The display corresponding to the pickup operator in any of the sections 42A to 42C) is terminated.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, a plurality of storage units 41 are provided, and the number of medicines is displayed on the display units 42A to 42C in different display modes corresponding to different picking workers. Therefore, even when a plurality of picking workers (for example, pharmacists) perform the picking work in parallel at a dispensing pharmacy or the like, the picking can be performed quickly and definitely.
Further, at this time, the remaining number display unit 43 displays the remaining number of medicines stored in the storage unit 41, and the storage unit 41 that may run out of medicines due to picking or if the medicine is already insufficient. In the storage unit 41 to be provided, display is performed so that the display mode of the remaining number display unit 43 is different, so that it is possible to reliably and easily grasp the storage unit 41 to be replenished.

  In the above description, the remaining number display unit 43 has different colors for normal display, insufficient remaining notice display, and insufficient remaining display. It is also possible to configure such that the change is also included.
