When the pharmacist measures the total amount of the prescription powder and inserts it from the input units 31 and 32, the powder supply unit 3 divides this evenly into the packing units (one dose) according to the prescription data, and the packing unit Send to 5. Thereby, in the packaging unit 5, a powder is packaged for every dose. In addition, the structure for the powder supply unit 3 to divide the prescription powder into packaging units will not be described in detail here. Although FIG. 1 illustrates the configuration in which the powder supply unit 3 is provided with the two input units 31 and 32, the number of input units is arbitrary.

[Handmade unit 4]
The manual handling unit 4 is used by a pharmacist to handle tablets that are not suitable for management in the tablet cassettes 21 and 22 because, for example, special management such as storage in a cold place is necessary or the prescription frequency is low. Used to distribute the parcel unit at work. FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing an appearance of a medicine tray provided in the hand handling unit 4. As shown in FIG. 3, the medicine tray of the hand-rolling unit 4 includes a plurality of cells 41 that are divided into a matrix. The pharmacist puts one dose of drug into one cell 41.

In the hand handling unit 4 illustrated in FIG. 3, a total of 48 cells 41 are provided in 6 rows and 8 columns. Hereinafter, when describing to distinguish each cell _41, using the reference numerals of 41 01 _{to 41 48.} In FIG. 3, it is denoted with for simplicity of illustration, some of the reference numerals _{41 01-41 48} only. In the present embodiment, the number of cells 41 in the medicine tray is 48, but the number of cells is not limited to this example and is arbitrary.

  When the pharmacist completes the drug handing to the cell 41 according to the prescription data, another pharmacist or the handman made whether or not the drug was correctly injected according to the usage / dose specified in the prescription data. It is examined by the pharmacist himself.

  Each bottom surface of the cell 41 is configured to open and close individually. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the hand-rolling unit 4 includes a cell opening / closing control unit 44 for individually controlling the opening / closing of the bottom surface of the cell 41. The cell opening / closing control unit 44 is interlocked with the packaging processing control unit 51 of the packaging unit 5. When the bottom surface of the cell 41 is opened, the medicine in the cell 41 is sent out to the packaging unit 5. The opening and closing of the bottom surface of the cell 41 and the operation of the packaging unit 5 are interlocked. That is, after the inspection is completed, when the pharmacist operates the start button for starting the packaging process, the bottom surface of the cell 41 is opened one by one, and the medicine in the cell 41 is sequentially sent to the packaging unit 5. . The medicine sent to the packaging unit 5 is packaged by one cell in the packaging unit 5 as described later. As a result, the medicines put into the cell 41 for each dose are individually packaged in the packaging unit 5.

  In the handmade unit 4, as shown in FIG. 3, LEDs 42 are embedded in one side of the frame of each cell 41. The LED 42 can switch and display a plurality of colors. In order to control the display color of the LED 42, the hand handling unit 4 includes an LED control unit 43 as shown in FIG. 2. The LED control unit 43 receives an instruction from the control unit 11 of the prescription control unit 1 and controls the emission color of the LED 42 of the manual handling unit 4. The light emission color control of the LED 42 by the LED control unit 43 will be described in detail later.

[Packaging unit 5]
The packaging unit 5 packages the medicine sent out from the tablet supply unit 2, the powder supply unit 3, and the hand handling unit 4. The wrapping paper is made of paper, cellophane, or the like, and the medicine is sealed and packaged separately for each dose by thermocompression bonding.

  FIG. 4 is a view showing an example of the medicine package sheet 501 discharged from the packaging unit 5. As shown in FIG. 4, the medicine package sheet 501 is formed in a state in which medicine packages 502 each containing a medicine for each dose are connected. Perforations 503 are formed between the medicine packages 502, and the medicine packages 502 can be individually cut along the perforations 503. In addition, although the example of FIG. 4 illustrates the state in which only tablets are packaged, it is also possible to package only powder. It is also possible to enclose tablets and powders in the same medicine package. Although not shown in FIG. 4, it is possible to print various information such as the patient's name, facial photograph, drug name, usage / dose, etc. on the surface of the medicine package 502.

  In the medicine packaging device 100, the order of the medicine packages 502 in the medicine package sheet 501 can be selected from “continuous” and “repetitive”. When “continuous” is selected, the medicine package sheet 501 is formed so that medicine packages 502 of the same dosing time are continuous. When “Repeat” is selected, the medicine pack sheet 501 is formed so that the medicine packs 502 for one day are arranged in order of taking time. For example, when 5 days are prescribed for three types of dosage periods of “after breakfast”, “after lunch”, and “after dinner”, when “continuous” is selected, a medicine package 502 “after breakfast” is obtained. The medicine package sheet 501 is formed in a state in which five medicine packages 502 “after lunch” are consecutively followed by five medicine packages 502 “after dinner” are subsequently consecutively provided. On the other hand, when “Repetition” is selected, the medicine package sheet 501 is formed in the order in which the set of “after breakfast”, “after lunch”, and “after dinner” is repeated for five days. The pharmacist can specify from the prescription control unit 1 whether to select “continuous” or “repetition”.

[Barcode reader 6]
The bar code reader 6 reads a code for identifying a medicine, and includes a JAN code, an RSS code, a tablet container (box, bottle, etc.) provided on a medicine shelf of a pharmacy or a PTP sheet. Alternatively, code reading means for reading a QR code (registered trademark), for example, a portable terminal such as a PDA. The bar code reader 6 may be a conventionally known auxiliary device used when, for example, a pharmacist takes out medicine from a storage. The auxiliary device is used when a pharmacist or the like takes out a medicine from a medicine shelf according to a prescription and manually dispenses the medicine, for example, reads the medicine from a JAN code written in the container, and reads the medicine and the prescription. Check against the data.

  Information read by the bar code reader 6 is input from the bar code reader 6 to the prescription control unit 1 by wireless communication. If wireless communication is used in this way, the barcode reader 6 can be freely carried to the medicine packaging device 100 or the medicine shelf, and the tablet can be loaded into the tablet cassette 22 at any place. It becomes. Of course, it is also conceivable that the barcode reader 6 is connected to the prescription control unit 1 by wire. In the case where a plurality of medicine packaging devices 100 are provided in the pharmacy, the barcode reader 6 associated in advance with each medicine packaging device 100 is individually provided.

[Manual work support screen]
Next, functions provided for supporting the manual handling work in the medicine packaging device 100 will be described. In the medicine packaging device 100, when the manual operation is performed, the prescription control unit 1 and the manual operation unit 4 work together to display a manual operation support screen on the monitor 13 of the prescription control unit 1. In the sowing unit 4, an LED 42 is lit to guide which drug 41 should be put into which cell 41 of the drug tray.

  In the following description, it is assumed that the prescription data having the content shown in FIG. 5 is input to the medicine packaging device 100. The prescription data shown in FIG. 5 prescribes four types of medicines at a dosing time of 4 times a day. Here, 15 days are prescribed. Therefore, the total number of medicine packages 502 packaged according to this prescription data is 60. Since the number of cells 41 of the manual handling unit 4 is 48, which is smaller than the number of medicine packages 502 to be packaged, in this case, two cycles of manual operation are required. That is, the control unit 11 uses 48 cells in the first cycle to package 48 medicine packages, and in the second cycle, the remaining 12 medicine packages are packaged. The hand handling unit 4 and the packaging unit 5 are interlocked. In the following, it is assumed that “continuous” is selected as the order of the medicine packages 502 in the medicine package sheet 501. The specific numerical values shown here (type of drug, number of doses, number of prescription days, number of cells, etc.) are not intended to limit the present invention, and can be changed as appropriate.

  FIG. 6 is an initial screen 110 of the manual work support screen displayed on the monitor 13 of the prescription control unit 1 at the start of the manual work. This initial screen 110 is displayed on the monitor 13 by the control unit 11 when, for example, the control unit 11 detects that the prescription data acquired from the prescription input terminal 200 includes a medicine that requires a manual operation. The

As shown in FIG. 6, the manual work support screen includes a cell image area 111, a drug list area 112, a drug image area 113, and a dose display area 114. The cell image area 111 schematically represents a plurality of cells 41 on the medicine tray of the hand handling unit 4 corresponding to the actual cell arrangement. That is, the cell image area 111, the same number as the cell 41 of the manual preparation unit 4 cell portion _111c 01 _{~111c 48} of (48) is manually prepared units same matrix number and placement of the drug tray 4 (6 rows × 8 columns). In FIG. 6, only part of the reference numerals of the cell portions 111c _{01 to} 111c ₄₈ are shown for simplification of illustration. In manual preparation work support screen, the cell portion 111c ₀₁ of the cell image region corresponds to the cell _{41 01} of the manual preparation unit 4. Similarly, the cell portions 111 c _{02 to} 111 c ₄₈ correspond to the cells 41 _{02 to} 41 ₄₈ of the hand-rolling unit 4.

In the initial screen 110, the cell portion _111c 01 _{~111c 48} of the cell image region 111 are all displayed in the same color (e.g., white, etc.), do not see anything in each cell. In the initial screen 110, nothing is displayed in the medicine image area 113.

  The dose display area 114 displays only the dosing time on the initial screen 110 based on the prescription data. Here, each of the four times a day is indicated in the dose display area 114 as “minute 1 wake up”, “minute 2 after breakfast”, “minute 3 after lunch”, and “minute 4 after dinner”. ing. Further, in the dose display area 114, the background color of the “minute 1” notation is purple. Similarly, the background color of the “minute 2” notation portion is yellow, the background color of the notation portion “minute 3” is blue, and the background color of the notation portion of “minute 4” is red. In this example, the maximum number of times of taking (minutes) per day is 8, and the dose display area 114 is configured to display “minute 1” to “minute 8”. In the prescription data shown in FIG. 5, since the dosing time is four times, nothing is displayed in the columns of “minute 5” to “minute 8”. It should be noted that what color is used as the background color of each of “minute 1” to “minute 8” can be set in advance and registered in the storage unit 12.

  In FIG. 6, for convenience, colors are expressed by the direction of hatching lines. That is, in FIG. 6, purple is represented as a hatched area with a downward slanting line, and similarly, yellow is represented by a hatching area with a slanting rightward line, blue is a hatching area with a horizontal line, and red is a hatching area with a vertical line. expressing.

  The drug list area 112 includes a drug name column 112a, a total amount column 112b, a tablet image column 112c, and a cell pattern column 112d for each drug included in the prescription data. In the medicine name column 112a, the medicine name of each medicine is extracted from the prescription data and displayed. In the total amount column 112b, the total number of tablets for each day for each medicine is extracted from the prescription data and displayed. In the lock image column 112c, a lock image of each medicine is displayed. The image data of the lock-type image can be acquired from the medicine master of the storage unit 12. The cell pattern column 112d is divided for each taking time, and the number of tablets for each taking time is displayed. In the cell pattern column 112d, the background color of the area that displays the number of tablets for each dose period is associated with the same color as the background color of the “minute 1” to “minute 4” notation portions in the dose display area 114. . As will be described in detail later, the background color of the fraction (“minute 1” to “minute 4”) in the dose display area 114 and the background color for each dosing time in the cell pattern column 112d of the drug list area 112 are It is associated with the emission color of the LED 42 of the paper tray 4.

  The pharmacist takes out medicines displayed in the medicine list area 112 in advance from a storage. When the pharmacist reads the barcode attached to the medicine container or the like with the barcode reader 6, the barcode information read by the barcode reader 6 is transmitted to the prescription control unit 1. Based on the data read here, the control unit 11 of the prescription control unit 1 determines whether or not the medicine in the container read by the barcode reader 6 matches any of the medicines in the prescription data.

  When it is confirmed that they match, the control unit 11 switches the manual work support screen from the initial screen 110 to the selected medicine corresponding screen 120. FIG. 7 shows an example of the selected drug correspondence screen 120. In the initial screen 110 of FIG. 6, the drug “bbbb OD tablet 15 mg” displayed on the second line from the top of the drug list area 112 is selected. It is a later screen. In the selected medicine corresponding screen 120, the background of the selected medicine line is displayed in a different color from the other lines in the medicine list area 112 to indicate that the medicine is selected. For example, in the example of FIG. 7, a state in which “bbbb OD tablet 15 mg” on the second line from the top of the medicine list area 112 is selected is schematically illustrated. Note that the display mode in which the selected drug can be discriminated in the drug list area 112 is not limited to the mode in which the background color is changed in this way, and can be any display mode.

  As shown in FIG. 7, on the selected medicine corresponding screen 120, an image of the selected medicine “bbbb OD tablet 15 mg” is displayed in the medicine image area 113. The image displayed in the medicine image area 113 may be an image representing the appearance of the medicine. That is, the image displayed in the medicine image area 113 may be an illustration image of a medicine or a photographic image obtained by photographing an actual medicine. The illustration image and the photographic image of the medicine are registered in the medicine master of the storage unit 12 as described above. In the case of an illustration image, it is preferable that the characteristic shape of the drug is expressed so that the drug can be distinguished from other drugs. Examples of the characteristic shape of the drug include capsule / tablet distinction, presence / absence of a secant, and engraving. In this embodiment, both the illustration image and the photographic image are registered in the medicine master of the storage unit 12, and it is possible to select which of the illustration image and the photographic image is displayed. In the example of FIG. 7, a photographic image is selected and displayed, but can be switched to an illustration image by clicking or touching the “illustration” tab in the medicine image region 113.

  When a drug is selected on the selected drug corresponding screen 120, the control unit 11 collates the drug master in the storage unit 12 to acquire an image of the selected drug. At this time, when the control unit 11 determines that the illustration image and the photographic image of the selected medicine are not registered in the medicine master of the storage unit 12, for example, “No medicine image is registered in the medicine master. Is preferably output to the medicine image region 113 or the like. Such a situation may occur, for example, at a time when new drug information is not yet reflected in the drug master of the storage unit 12.

  In the image displayed in the medicine image region 113, it is preferable that the size (diameter and thickness) of the tablet is written together as shown in FIG. The tablet size can be acquired from the pharmaceutical master of the storage unit 12. Thus, the image of the selected medicine is preferably displayed together with the tablet size in the medicine image area 113, so that the pharmacist can easily visually check whether or not the medicine to be handed matches the prescription. Can be confirmed.

  When a drug is selected, the control unit 11 displays a dose for each time of taking the selected drug in the dose display area 114 based on the prescription data. In the example of FIG. 7, the dose of the selected drug “bbbb OD tablet 15 mg” is 1 tablet after “minute 2 after breakfast”, 1 tablet after “minute 3 after lunch”, and 1 tablet after “minute 4 after dinner”. It is displayed that there is.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 7, in the selected drug corresponding screen 120, each of the cell portions 111 c _{01 to} 111 c ₄₈ of the cell-selected drug “bbbb OD tablet 15 mg” image area 111 is used for the selected drug. The control unit 11 performs control based on the prescription data so that the same color as the cell 41 of the hand-rolling unit 4 is displayed according to the time. That is, in the case of “bbbb OD tablet 15 mg”, as shown in FIG. 5, “when waking up” 0 tablets, “after breakfast”, 1 tablet “after lunch”, and 1 tablet “after dinner” Is prescribed in the prescription data.

Therefore, the control unit 11 sends an instruction to the LED control unit 43 of the manual preparation unit 4, the LED42 of the cells ₄₁ 16 _{to 41 30} corresponding to 15 days of "after breakfast" is displayed yellow. The control unit 11, in the cell image area 111, for the cell portion _111c 16 _{~111c 30} corresponding to the cell _{41 16-41 30} displays the frame of these cell portion yellow. The control unit 11, in the frame of the cell portion _111c 16 _{~111c 30,} and displays the number of tablets to be placed in a cell _{41 16-41 30} "1".

Similarly, the control unit 11 sends an instruction to the LED control unit 43 of the hand making unit 4 to display the LEDs 42 of the cells 41 _{31 to} 41 ₄₅ corresponding to 15 days “after lunch” in blue. The control unit 11, in the cell image area 111, for the cell portion _111c 31 _{~111c 45} corresponding to the cell _{41 31-41 45,} and displays the frame of these cell unit to blue. Further, the control unit 11 displays the number of tablets “1” to be put into the cells 41 _{31 to} 41 ₄₅ in the frame of the cell units 111 c _{31 to} 111 c ₄₅ .

Similarly, the control unit 11 sends an instruction to the LED control unit 43 of the manual preparation unit 4 to display the LED42 of the cell _{41 46-41 48} corresponding to three days "after supper" red. The control unit 11, in the cell image area 111, for the cell portion _111c 46 _{~111c 48} corresponding to the cell _{41 46-41 48} displays the frame of these cell portion in red. Further, the control unit 11 displays the number of tablets “1” to be put into the cells 41 _{46 to} 41 ₄₈ within the frame of the cell units 111 c _{46 to} 111 c ₄₈ .

On the other hand, the cells 41 _{01 to} 41 ₁₅ corresponding to the 15th day of “when waking up” are not the target of the “bbbb OD tablet 15 mg” which is the selected drug. Therefore, the control unit 11 displays the cell portions 111c _{01 to} 111c ₁₅ corresponding to these cells in the cell image region 111 in a dark color such as black or gray. At this time, it is preferable that the LEDs 42 are turned off for the cells 41 _{01 to} 41 ₁₅ that are not to be inserted.

  As described above, in the selected medicine corresponding screen 120, the frame of the cell portion 111c corresponding to the cell 41 to which the “bbbb OD tablet 15 mg” which is the selected medicine is to be put in the cell image area 111 indicates the corresponding taking time. Displayed in the color to represent. This color is the same color as the display color of the LED 42 of the corresponding cell 41. In addition, on the selected medicine corresponding screen 120, the number of tablets to be loaded in each cell is also displayed. In this way, the pharmacist only has to input the number of selected drugs specified by the selected drug corresponding screen 120 into the cells 41 displayed in the same color while looking at the selected drug corresponding screen 120. Therefore, it is possible to work while visually confirming which cell among the plurality of cells 41 should be inserted, and the occurrence of dispensing errors can be prevented.

  In this way, when the “bbbb OD tablet 15 mg” is completely loaded into the necessary cells among the 48 cells 41, the pharmacist can check the bar of the container of other drugs out of the drugs taken out from the storage. The code is read by the barcode reader 6. As a result, another drug is selected, and the selected drug corresponding screen for the drug is displayed.

  For example, FIG. 8 shows a selected drug corresponding screen 130 that is displayed after the drug “aaa capsule 0.75 μg” displayed in the first row of the drug list area 112 is selected. As shown in FIG. 5, this “aaa capsule 0.75 μg” contains 1 tablet when “getting up”, 0 tablets “after breakfast”, 0 tablets “after lunch”, and 0 tablets “after dinner”. It is prescribed in prescription data to take.

For this reason, the control unit 11 sends an instruction to the LED control unit 43 of the manual handling unit 4 to display the LEDs 42 of the cells 41 _{01 to} 41 ₁₅ corresponding to 15 days of “when waking up” in purple. The control unit 11, in the cell image area 111, for the cell portion _111c 01 _{~111c 15} corresponding to the cell _{41 01-41 15} displays the frame of these cell unit purple. Further, the control unit 11 displays the number of tablets “1” to be put into the cells 41 _{01 to} 41 ₁₅ in the frame of the cell units 111 c _{01 to} 111 c ₁₅ .

On the other hand, cells 41 _{16 to} 41 ₃₀ corresponding to 15 days after “breakfast”, cells 41 _{31 to} 41 ₄₅ corresponding to 15 days after “lunch”, and cells corresponding to 3 days “after dinner” for 41 _{46-41 48,} not on target in a selective agent "aaaa capsule 0.75μg". Therefore, the control unit 11 displays the cell portions 111c _{16 to} 111c ₄₈ corresponding to these cells in a dark color such as black or gray in the cell image region 111.

  In addition, on the selected medicine corresponding screen 130, for the “bbbb OD tablet 15 mg” that has already been inserted, the control unit 11 grays out (displays darkly) the line of this medicine in the medicine list area 112. . As described above, the medicine for which the hand-working operation has been completed is grayed out in the medicine list area 112 so that the pharmacist can easily distinguish between the medicine for which the hand-working operation has been completed and the medicine for which the hand-working operation has not been completed. be able to.

  When all the four types of drugs included in the prescription data are completed by the same procedure as described above, the inspection is performed by another pharmacist or the pharmacist who performed the manual operation. An inspection is a procedure for confirming that the medicine is dispensed as prescribed. When the inspection is completed, the pharmacist presses a packaging start button for starting the packaging processing by the packaging unit 5. This packaging start button may be incorporated in the manual operation support screen on the monitor 13 or may be provided on the operation panel of the medicine packaging device 100.

  When this packaging start button is pressed, the control unit 11 enables display of the manual operation support screen for the second cycle on the monitor 13. That is, before the packaging start button is pressed, the screen transition to the manual operation support screen in the second cycle is impossible. As a result, it is possible to prevent the second cycle medicine from being erroneously put into the medicine put into the first cycle. In addition, after one cycle of manual work is completed and the start packaging button is pressed and the next cycle manual work support screen is displayed, the screen transition to the previous manual work support screen is not possible It has become. Thereby, for example, it is possible to prevent the first cycle medicine from being erroneously introduced while the first cycle manual operation is completed and the second cycle manual operation is being performed.

Also, when packing the start button is pressed, as described above, by the bottom of the cell _{41 01-41 48} manual preparation unit 4 is opened in this order, the cell _{41 01-41} agent within ₄₈ packing One medicine package is sent to the unit 5 and packaged in the packaging unit 5.

  When the packaging processing of 48 medicine packages 502 is started in the packaging unit 5, the packaging processing control unit of the packaging unit 5 sends a signal indicating that the packaging processing of the first cycle is started to the control unit Send to 11. When the control unit 11 receives this signal, the control unit 11 displays a second-cycle manual operation support screen on the monitor 13 based on the prescription data. That is, by the first cycle of handwork work, a total of 48 days for 15 days “when waking up”, 15 days for “after breakfast”, 15 days for “after lunch”, and 3 days for “after dinner” Since the individual medicine packages 502 have been packaged, the remaining 12 days of “after dinner” drugs are put into the cell 41 by the second cycle of the hand-rolling operation.

FIG. 9 shows a manual work support screen (selected drug correspondence screen 140) displayed on the monitor 13 in the manual work of the second cycle. FIG. 9 shows a state where “bbbb OD tablet 15 mg” is selected as in FIG. 7. The selection drug correspondence screen 140 when “bbbb OD tablet 15 mg” is selected in the second cycle manual operation is the same as the selection drug correspondence screen 120 shown in FIG. 7 except for the display of the cell image area 111. is there. In the cell image area 111 of the selected medicine corresponding screen 140, the frames of the cell portions 111c _{01 to} 111c ₁₂ are displayed in red corresponding to “after dinner”, and “1” is displayed as the number of tablets to be inserted. In addition, in the selection medicine handling screen 140 of FIG. 9, a message “2/2 roll” is displayed in the lower left corner of the screen, indicating that the manual work is in the second cycle. On the other hand, on the selected medicine corresponding screen 120 in FIG. 7, a message “1/2 roll is displayed” indicating that the manual work is in the first cycle is displayed. Thereby, the pharmacist can correctly grasp the progress status of the manual work.

Here, the flow of the medicine packaging process controlled by the control unit 11 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing a main operation flow of the medicine packaging process.
As shown in FIG. 10, when the prescription data is acquired (step S1), the control unit 11 displays the initial screen 110 of the manual work support screen on the monitor 13 based on the acquired prescription data (step S2). .

  When the control unit 11 acquires the barcode information of the medicine container read by the barcode reader 6 (step S3), the medicine indicated by the barcode information matches the medicine included in the prescription data. It is determined whether or not to perform (step S4). If it is determined in step S4 that they do not match, an error is notified. If it is determined in step S4 that they match, the control unit 11 displays the selected medicine corresponding screen for the medicine on the monitor 13 assuming that the medicine indicated by the barcode information has been selected (step S5). Further, in step S5, the control unit 11 sends an instruction to the LED control unit 43 of the hand-rolling unit 4, and gives the LED 42 of the cell 41 to which the selected medicine is to be introduced to the color determined for each dosing time. Display. In the selection medicine corresponding screen, as described above, the cell portion 111c of the cell image region 111 is displayed in the same color as the display color of the LED 42 of the corresponding cell 41. In addition, on the selected medicine corresponding screen, as described above, the number of tablets to be inserted into the corresponding cell 41 is displayed in the cell portion 111c of the cell image region 111.

  Thereafter, the control of the control unit 11 returns to step S3, and the above processing is repeated.

  In step S3, when the control unit 11 detects that the packaging start button is pressed, the control unit 11 instructs the packaging unit 5 to start the packaging process (step S6). ). Based on the prescription data, the control unit 11 determines whether there is a next cycle manual operation (step S7). If there is a next cycle manual operation, the next cycle is performed. A manual work support screen corresponding to is displayed on the monitor 13 (step S8), and the process returns to step S3. If there is no manual work for the next cycle in step S7, the process ends.

  As described above, in the first embodiment, the control unit 11 of the prescription control unit 1 displays the LED 42 of the cell 41 of the hand handling unit 4 in a different color for each dosing time, and the hand work work support screen of the monitor 13 is displayed. A cell image area 111 corresponding to the actual arrangement of the cells 41 is displayed therein, and in this cell image area 111, the cell portion 111c to which the medicine is to be injected is displayed in the same color as the corresponding cell 41. Thereby, when prescribing a plurality of medicines, it is possible to work while confirming which one of the plurality of cells 41 should be filled with each medicine.

  Further, the control unit 11 displays the number of tablets to be put into the corresponding cell 41 in each cell part 111 c of the cell image area 111. This makes it possible to easily and reliably confirm the number of tablets to be put into each cell 41.

  Further, the control unit 11 displays an image of the medicine for performing the handing work in the medicine image area 113 in the handing work support screen. Thereby, collation with the chemical | medical agent which should be thrown into the cell 41, and the chemical | medical agent taken out from the storage can be performed more reliably.

  In the above specific example, the description has been made assuming that “continuous” is selected as the order of the medicine packages 502 in the medicine package sheet 501. On the other hand, when “repetition” is selected as the order of the medicine packages 502 in the medicine package sheet 501, for example, the display mode of the cell image region 111 on the selected medicine corresponding screen 120 shown in FIG. As shown in FIG.

[Second Embodiment]
A second embodiment of the present invention will be described below. In addition, about the structure which has the function similar to the structure demonstrated in 1st Embodiment, the same referential mark is attached and detailed description is abbreviate | omitted.

  The second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that the control unit 11 displays a package image on the manual work support screen. FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an aspect in which the packaging image area 211 is displayed on the initial screen 210 of the manual work support screen according to the present embodiment. In the second embodiment, the prescription data is assumed to be the same as that shown in FIG. 5 in the first embodiment.

  Similar to the initial screen 110 described in the first embodiment, the initial screen 210 is a screen that the control unit 11 displays on the monitor 13 based on the prescription data when prescription data is input. Also, in the initial screen 210, as in the initial screen 110, no medicine has been selected yet.

  As shown in FIG. 12, the packaging image area 211 of the initial screen 210 is provided with a frame for each dose period, and the total number of drugs to be introduced for each dose period is indicated in each frame according to the drug image. To display. In the example of FIG. 12, when “getting up”, “aaaa capsule 0.75 μg” and 1 “dddd soft capsule 200 mg” are prescribed in a total of 2 tablets. Illustration images of these tablets are displayed in the column 211a of “When getting up”. Also, after “breakfast”, there are 3 tablets in total, 1 tablet of “bbbb OD tablet 15 mg”, 1 tablet of “cccc tablet 2.5 mg” and 1 tablet of “dddd soft capsule 200 mg”. Illustration images of these tablets are displayed in the “after breakfast” field 211 b of the package image area 211. The same applies to the “after lunch” column 211 c and the “after dinner” column 211 d in the package image area 211.

  The illustration image of the tablet displayed in the package image area 211 can be acquired by the control unit 11 from the medicine master of the storage unit 12 based on the prescription data. Here, an example in which an illustration image is displayed in the package image area 211 is shown, but a photographic image of a medicine may be displayed instead of the illustration image. In addition, for tablets that are prescribed in units of 0.5 tablets or 0.25 tablets, an image (illustration image or photographic image) showing the state of being divided into 0.5 tablets or 0.25 tablets, It is preferable to register in advance in the medicine master and use it.

  If the number of doses is large, the display content is scrolled in the packaging image area 211 by clicking or touching the scroll button 211e displayed on the right side of the packaging image area 211 in FIG. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 12, prescriptions for four times are displayed, but when the medication timing is 5 times or more, by clicking the scroll button 211e, the medication timing (not shown in FIG. 12) ( For example, prescription contents such as “before going to bed” can be displayed.

  In addition, when the number of tablets prescribed for a single dose is too large to display the whole, scroll buttons are provided in the respective frames of the fields 211a to 211d of the packaging image area 211, The display contents may be scrolled in the screen.

  Thus, by displaying the total number of medicines to be put into the cell 41 at each time of taking in the packaging image area 211 by the medicine image, there is an advantage that visual inspection becomes easy.

  Further, when any medicine is selected from the state in which the initial screen 210 is displayed, the control unit 11 switches the display to the selected medicine corresponding screen 220 as shown in FIG. In the example of FIG. 13, “bbbb OD tablet 15 mg” is selected. In the selected medicine correspondence screen 220, as shown in FIG. 13, an image of only the selected medicine “bbbb OD tablet 15 mg” is displayed in the package image area 211 for each taking period. This makes it possible to easily confirm how many tablets should be put into each cell for each dosing period while selecting one of the drugs and performing the handing operation.

  When the “selection release” button 220a displayed at the lower right in the selection medicine corresponding screen 220 shown in FIG. 13 is clicked or touched, the control unit 11 displays the display on the monitor 13 in the initial state shown in FIG. Return to screen 210. Thereby, the pharmacist can always confirm the state in which the manual work is completed.

  As described above, when returning from the selected medicine corresponding screen 220 to the initial screen 210, the control unit 11 displays a grayed out image in the packaging image area 211 for the medicine image for which the manual operation has already been completed. You may make it do. Thereby, since the medicine for which the manual preparation has been completed and the medicine that has not been completed are displayed so as to be distinguishable, there is an advantage that the pharmacist can easily check the progress of the manual preparation work.

  In the above specific example, the illustration image of the tablet is displayed in the package image area 211. However, when the photographic image of the tablet is registered in the medicine master of the storage unit 12, the illustration image is used instead. A photographic image may be used.

  In addition, in the initial screen 210 shown in FIG. 12, in the state where no medicine is selected in the medicine list area 112, any time of taking is selected by a touch operation or the like on the fields 211 a to 211 d of the packaging image area 211. Then, the control unit 11 may display a dosing time correspondence screen 230 that displays information on a medicine corresponding to the selected dosing time as shown in FIG.

  On the dose time correspondence screen 230, in the cell image area 111, only the cell portion 111c corresponding to the cell into which the medicine corresponding to the selected dose time is to be introduced is displayed in color. Moreover, the total number of the tablets of the medicine prescribed | regulated about the said dosing time is displayed on the cell part 111c displayed with the color. It should be noted that only one of the colored display of the cell corresponding to the selected dosing time and the display of the total number of locks may be performed.

  For example, the dosing time correspondence screen 230 shown in FIG. 14 is a screen when the “when getting up” column 211a is selected by a touch operation on the initial screen 210 shown in FIG. In the example of FIG. 14, in the package image area 211, a thick frame surrounding the selected “wake-up” field 211 a indicates that this dosing time has been selected. However, the display mode is not limited to this. For example, only the selected “wake-up” column 211a is highlighted with a conspicuous color, or the non-selected dosing time columns 211b to 211d are not displayed. It may be grayed out so that it can be seen that it is a selection.

In the example illustrated in FIG. 14, in the cell image area 111, the frames of the cell portions 111 c _{01 to} 111 c ₁₅ into which the “wake-up” medicine is to be put are displayed in color (for example, purple). And, from this in order to be distinguished, for the cell portion _111c 16 _{~111c 48} the other, displays a dark color such as black or gray.

In the example shown in FIG. 14, the number of drugs prescribed for the selected “at the time of waking up” is one tablet of “aaa capsule 0.75 μg” and one tablet of “dddd soft capsule 200 mg”. Therefore, “2” that is the total number of tablets of the medicine prescribed for “when getting up” is displayed in the cell portions 111c _{01 to} 111c ₁₅ to which the medicine when “getting up” should be put.

  In the medicine list area 112, medicines that are not prescribed at the selected time of taking are preferably grayed out as shown in FIG.

  As described above, after completing the hand-working operation or during the hand-working operation, when it is desired to check the prescription (type and total number of tablets) for each time of taking, any medicine is selected in the medicine list area 112. In this state, it is only necessary to select a desired dosing time in the package image area 211 by a touch operation.

In addition, when any drug is selected in the drug list area 112 on the dosing time correspondence screen 230, the display of the cell parts 111c _{01 to} 111c _{15 in} the cell image area 111 is switched, and only the number of tablets to be administered of the selected drug is displayed. It is preferable to do so. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 15, among the medicines prescribed for “when waking up”, “aaa capsule 0.75 μg” is selected in the medicine list area 112, so that in the cell parts 111 c _{01 to} 111 c ₁₅ , “1”, which is the number of prescriptions for this medicine, is displayed. This makes it possible to easily visually confirm the number of prescriptions of a specific medicine for each dose period after the hand-working operation is completed or during the hand-working operation.

  In addition, when any medicine is selected in the medicine list area 112 on the dosing time correspondence screen 230, only the image of the selected medicine is highlighted or not selected in the packaging image area 211. The image of the medicine may be displayed in gray out.

  As described above, in the second embodiment, the packaging image area 211 indicating the total number of tablets prescribed for each of the taking times is displayed on the manual work support screen. As a result, the type and number of tablets to be inserted for each dosing time can be easily confirmed visually by performing a handing operation while viewing the image in the package image area 211. In addition, there is an advantage that inspection after the manual work is completed becomes easy.

  Further, when any of the dosing times is selected by a touch operation on the package image area 211 or the like, only the cell portion corresponding to the selected dosing time is displayed in color in the cell image area, and the prescribed dosing time is prescribed. The total number of tablets to be used is displayed in the cell part. Thereby, the pharmacist who performs a handing operation | work can confirm easily how many tablets should be administered to which cell about each taking time.

  Further, the second embodiment can be implemented by being modified as follows.

[Modification]
In the modified example of the second embodiment, when any medicine is selected from the medicine list area 112 from the state where the initial screen 210 (see FIG. 12) is displayed, the control unit 11 shows the state shown in FIG. The display is switched to such a selected medicine corresponding screen 220. That is, when “bbbb OD tablet 15 mg” is selected in the state in which the initial screen 210 shown in FIG. 12 is displayed, all of the prescription data included in the prescription data on the selected drug correspondence screen 220 are displayed as shown in FIG. Of these drugs, only the image of the selected drug “bbbb OD tablet 15 mg” is highlighted in the package image area 211 (the part denoted by reference numeral 211H in FIG. 16). In FIG. 16, the highlighted portion (211H) in the package image area 211 is indicated by hatching. However, in the actual screen, the portion is a conspicuous color such as yellow in the background color, for example. A highlight display is made by displaying with.

  Therefore, according to the selection medicine correspondence screen 220 of FIG. 16, it is possible to confirm the types and number of medicines to be prescribed for each medication timing at the time of getting up, after eating directly, after lunch, and after dinner. At the same time, the type and number of drugs currently being handed are highlighted, so you can visually check the type and number of tablets that should be put in the current handing operation while checking the progress of the work. Can be easily confirmed.

  Further, in this modification, when the pharmacist selects a drug to be handled from the drug list area 112 and reads the barcode given to the drug container or the like with the barcode reader 6, the control unit 11 When the medicine selected in the medicine list area 112 matches the medicine read by the barcode reader 6, a check mark is added to the medicine image in the packaging image area 211 as shown in FIG. And display.

  This check mark is continuously displayed without disappearing even after another drug is selected in the drug list area 112. Therefore, if the manual operation is correctly performed for all the drugs included in the prescription data, a check mark should be given to all the drugs when the operation is completed. Thereby, it can be easily confirmed visually that there is no prescription omission.

[Third Embodiment]
The medicine packaging apparatus according to the third embodiment is a medicine packaging apparatus according to the first embodiment or the second embodiment, in which functions relating to bar code verification of hand-made medicines are enhanced. That is, the medicine packaging apparatus according to the third embodiment has a “verification required mode” in which the packaging cannot be started unless barcode collation is completed for all the hand-made medicines included in the prescription data. doing. Hereinafter, the operation of the medicine packaging device according to the present embodiment will be described.

  FIG. 18 is a flowchart showing the operation when the operation mode is the verification essential mode in the medicine packaging device according to the third embodiment. As shown in FIG. 18, in the medicine packaging device according to the third embodiment, when the control unit 11 acquires the barcode information of the medicine container read by the barcode reader 6 (step S13), It is determined whether or not the medicine indicated by the bar code information matches the medicine contained in the prescription data (step S14). If it is determined in step S14 that they do not match, an error is notified. If it is determined in step S14 that they match, the control unit 11 displays the selected medicine corresponding screen for the medicine on the monitor 13 assuming that the medicine indicated by the barcode information has been selected (step S15). Further, in step S15, the control unit 11 sends an instruction to the LED control unit 43 of the hand-rolling unit 4, and sets the color determined for each dose time on the LED 42 of the cell 41 to which the selected medicine is to be introduced. Display. In the selection medicine corresponding screen, as described above, the cell portion 111c of the cell image region 111 is displayed in the same color as the display color of the LED 42 of the corresponding cell 41. In addition, on the selected medicine corresponding screen, as described above, the number of tablets to be inserted into the corresponding cell 41 is displayed in the cell portion 111c of the cell image region 111.

  Next, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the barcode collation process in step S14 has been completed for all the handmade medicines included in the prescription order of the current handwork work (step S16). If the barcode collation process has been completed for all the handmade medicines, the control unit 11 activates the packaging start button (step S17). This packaging start button may be incorporated in the manual operation support screen on the monitor 13 or may be provided on the operation panel of the medicine packaging device 100. In the medicine packaging device of the third embodiment, when the verification essential mode is selected, if the control unit 11 does not activate the packaging start button in step S17, an operation on the packaging start button is accepted. Absent.

  In step S18, when the control unit 11 detects that the packaging start button has been pressed, the control unit 11 instructs the packaging unit 5 to start the packaging process (step S19). ). Based on the prescription data, the control unit 11 determines whether there is a next cycle manual operation (step S20). If there is a next cycle manual operation, the next cycle is performed. Is displayed on the monitor 13 (step S21), and the process returns to step S13. If there is no manual work for the next cycle in step S20, the process ends. Steps S19 to S21 are the same as steps S6 to S8 in FIG.

  In this way, dispensing errors can be effectively prevented by not activating the packaging start button until it is confirmed that bar code verification has been executed for all the handmade drugs included in the prescription data. .

  Even in the above-mentioned verification essential mode, the barcode verification process may be skipped by following a predetermined procedure for recording a log for which the barcode verification process has not been performed. In this case, date and time, prescription ID, unmatched medicine, and user ID of the pharmacist who performed the work are recorded in the storage unit 12 of the medicine packaging device as log data.

  An example of this predetermined procedure will be described below. For example, when the prescription data includes a handmade medicine, a packaging monitor screen as shown in FIG. 19 is displayed, for example. Here, when the pharmacist selects the drug name column of the hand-made drug (in the example of FIG. 19, it is assumed that the drug name column 301 of “bbbb OD tablet 15 mg” displayed at the top is selected. ) The display screen of the monitor 13 transitions to an LED assist screen as shown in FIG. 20, for example. When a plurality of hand-made medicines are displayed on the package monitor screen, the pharmacist can select an arbitrary medicine name column.

  In the LED assist screen 300 (see FIG. 20) to be displayed next, the medicine list area 112 is displayed, and an image of the selected handmade medicine “bbbb OD tablet 15 mg” is displayed in the medicine image area 113. . Further, in the cell image area 111, the cells 41 into which the handmade medicines are put are displayed in different colors, and the number of tablets to be put into each cell is displayed. This point is as described in the first and second embodiments. In FIG. 20, the LED assist screen 300 includes the packaging image area 211 described in the second embodiment, but may be a display mode in which the packaging image area 211 is not included.

  Further, a collation skip button 220b is displayed on the LED assist screen 300 shown in FIG. Also included is a “required verification mode” display field 220c that indicates that the operation is in the required verification mode.

  The pharmacist presses the collation skip button 220b when he / she wants to skip the bar code collation process of the hand-made medicine “bbbb OD tablet 15 mg”. Then, the display screen of the monitor 13 transitions to an unmatched history registration screen as shown in FIG. In the unmatched history registration screen, a message asking whether the barcode matching process may be skipped is displayed together with the name of the medicine for which the pharmacist has pressed the matching skip button 220b. In this unmatched history registration screen, the pharmacist inputs his user ID in the user name input field 311 and presses the OK button 312 to perform barcode matching processing of the medicine displayed on the unmatched history registration screen. You can leave a log that you skipped. That is, according to the above procedure, the date and time when the OK button 312 is pressed, the name of the drug that skipped the barcode matching process, the prescription ID that specifies the prescription data, and the user who specifies the pharmacist are stored in the storage unit 12 of the medicine packaging device. The ID is recorded as a log.

  It is also possible to register in advance in the medicine packaging device whether or not each pharmacist has the authority to skip the barcode matching process. In this case, it is only necessary to register in the storage unit 12 whether or not there is an authority to skip the barcode matching process for each user ID. Then, when the OK button 312 is pressed, it is confirmed whether or not the user ID input in the user name input field 311 has been given the authority to skip barcode collation processing. If the user ID has no authority, an error message is displayed. Should be output.

  When the barcode verification process can be skipped in this way, the process of step S16 in the flowchart of FIG. 18 is completed for all the handmade drugs included in the prescription data, or What is necessary is just to change to the process which confirms whether the log to the effect that the barcode collation process was skipped remains in the memory | storage part 12. FIG.

  As described above, according to the third embodiment, a log indicating that the barcode matching process has been completed or the barcode matching process has been skipped is stored in the storage unit for all the handmade drugs included in the prescription data. If any one of the conditions of 12 is not satisfied, the packaging cannot be started. This makes it possible to effectively prevent dispensing errors.

  In the above specific example, for all the handmade medicines included in the prescription data, the barcode verification process is completed or a log indicating that the barcode verification process is skipped is left in the storage unit 12. As an example of the subsequent processing that is continued after either of the following conditions is satisfied, that is, after the normal completion of the handwork operation is confirmed, the packaging process is illustrated. However, the subsequent process is not limited to the packaging process, and may be any other process.

[Other embodiments]
As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was described concretely, embodiment of this invention is not limited to the aspect demonstrated above, A various change is possible.

  For example, in the above-described embodiment, the aspect in which the present invention is implemented as a medicine packaging device including the tablet supply unit 2, the powder supply unit 3, and the packaging unit 5 has been described. However, at least one of the tablet supply unit 2, the powder supply unit 3, and the packaging unit 5 can be omitted among the above-described components. As the simplest configuration, none of the tablet supply unit, the powder supply unit, and the packaging unit is provided, and the present invention can be implemented as a drug handing device that performs only hand-handling.

  Moreover, although the structure which stored the pharmaceutical master in the memory | storage part 12 of the prescription control unit 1 was illustrated, it is good also as a structure which can access the pharmaceutical master outside a device via communication IF, an external network, etc.

  In the above-described embodiment, the barcode reader 6 is provided as a means for reading a code for identifying a drug from a tablet container, a PTP sheet, or the like. Based on the read barcode information, The structure which collates whether it corresponds is illustrated. However, the code carrier for identifying the medicine is not limited to the bar code, and the means for reading it is not limited to the bar code reader. The code for identifying the drug can be attached to the drug container or the like by any carrier that can be read electrically, magnetically, or optically, and the means for reading the code is also appropriate depending on the characteristics of the code. To design.

  In the above-described embodiment, the configuration is such that after one cycle of the hand-working operation is completed, that is, after all the medicines to be packaged have been dispensed in the tray cell, inspection is performed and packaging is started. Illustrated. However, it is also possible to employ a configuration in which a standby cell is provided below each of the cells 41 of the manual handling unit 4 and perform the following control. That is, the inspection is performed every time one kind of medicine is finished, and when the inspection is finished and the next medicine to be handed out is selected in the medicine list area 112 by the pharmacist, the cell opening / closing control unit 44 performs the plurality of cells. The bottom surface of 41 is opened. Thereby, the medicines put in the cell 41 are sent to the standby cell one by one every time inspection is completed. When the start button for starting the packaging process is operated after the preparation of the medicine for one cycle is completed, the medicine in the standby mass is sent to the packaging unit 5. According to this configuration and control, it is easy to perform inspection one by one for each medicine to be handled.

  Further, in the configuration provided with the standby cell as described above, the inspection is performed every time at least one kind of medicine is dispensed, and after the inspection is completed, the cell opening / closing control unit 44 has a plurality of operations according to a predetermined operation by the pharmacist. The bottom surface of the cell 41 may be opened. Here, the “predetermined operation” is an operation of, for example, a cell open / close button. In this configuration, after the tablet handed to the cell 41 is sent to the standby cell, the control unit 11 does not display the image of the medicine selected so far in the package image area 211. According to this configuration, no image is displayed in the package image area 211 for the medicine for which the manual work and the inspection have been completed. That is, in the package image area 211, only an image of a medicine necessary for the subsequent manual work is displayed. Thereby, the visual confirmation at the time of a hand-working operation can be made easier.

  The drug list area 112 and the dose display area 114 disclosed in the above embodiment are not essential. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the configuration in which the medicine is selected in the medicine list area 112 is illustrated. However, the medicine list area 112 may be omitted, and a medicine may be selected by reading a barcode from a medicine container or the like by the barcode reader 6.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the tray of the manual handling unit includes a light emitting unit provided corresponding to each of the plurality of cells and capable of switching and displaying a plurality of colors, and corresponding to the color of the light emitting unit. The configuration in which the color of the cell portion in the cell image area of the manual work support screen is switched and displayed is illustrated. However, the light emitting unit may be omitted, and the cell unit color switching display on the manual work support screen may be omitted.

  Further, in the third embodiment, as a modification of the first or second embodiment, the hand handling unit 4 includes an LED 42 for each of the cells 41, and the cell image region 111, the drug image region 113, and the like are monitored. Assuming the configuration displayed in FIG. 13, the configuration in which the parcel start button cannot be operated unless the barcode matching process is completed is illustrated. However, the LED 42 of the manual handling unit 4, the cell image area 111 and the drug image area 113 displayed on the monitor 13 are not essential components for the third embodiment. That is, with regard to the third embodiment, in any medicine packaging device that performs a hand-working operation, a means for reading a code for identifying a medicine from a hand-made medicine container, a PTP sheet, or the like is provided. Based on the above, it is configured to verify whether the hand-made medicine matches the prescription data, and if all the hand-made medicines included in the prescription data are not completed, or the matching process is performed according to a predetermined procedure. If no record is skipped, one invention can be grasped as an apparatus that cannot start subsequent processing such as packaging.
