Note that sending the signal to the management computer 2 corresponds to "processing related to prescription delivery" according to the present invention. "Processing related to prescription delivery" is a specific example of "processing related to prescription."

When the management computer 2 receives the signal, it transmits information indicating the contents of the medicine prescription to the electronic prescription server 5 in a state where it is associated with the identification information of the user who is the patient. The information is stored as an electronic prescription in the electronic prescription server 5. As a result, an electronic prescription is issued. Furthermore, the management computer 2 acquires access information for accessing the electronic prescription stored in the electronic prescription server 5 from the electronic prescription server 5.

In this way, the processing unit 22 executes processing related to prescription issuance based on the issuance information.

Further, in step S06, the processing unit 22 sends permission information and a predetermined signal to the management computer 2. This signal is a signal instructing the electronic prescription server 5 to store the contents of the permission information in association with the identification information of the user who is a patient and the electronic prescription. Note that sending the permission information and the signal to the management computer 2 corresponds to "processing for notifying the pharmacist of the contents of the permission information" according to the present invention.

Upon receiving the permission information and the signal, the management computer 2 causes the electronic prescription server 5 to store the contents of the permission information in association with the identification information of the user who is a patient and the electronic prescription. Thereby, when the pharmacist accesses the electronic prescription, the pharmacist will know the contents of the permission information.

In this way, the processing unit 22 executes a process for notifying the pharmacist of the content of the permission information based on the permission information. After step S06, the process moves to step S07.

In step S<b>07 , the processing unit 22 acquires access information, information indicating the contents of the medicine prescription, and medical statement data from the management computer 2 . Further, the processing unit 22 acquires information indicating the details of the payment from the payment unit 21, and generates receipt data based on the information. The receipt data and medical statement data are detailed in [Issuance of receipts and medical statement] above. After step S07, the process moves to step S08.

In step S08, the processing unit 22 executes processing related to issuance of access information based on the issuance information. For example, if the first touch button 31 is touched in step S04, the processing unit 22 incorporates the access information into the receipt data in step S08. Note that incorporating the access information into the receipt data corresponds to "processing related to issuance of access information" according to the present invention. "Processing related to issuance of access information" is a specific example of "processing related to prescription."

Further, for example, if the second touch button 32 is touched in step S04, the processing unit 22 generates dedicated paper data in step S08. Note that the dedicated paper data has been described in detail in the above [first method]. Further, generating dedicated paper data corresponds to "processing related to issuance of access information" according to the present invention.

Further, for example, when the third touch button 33 is touched in step S04, in step S08, the processing unit 22 performs a write operation for writing access information to the IC chip 90 provided in the My Number card 9 held by the user. Execute processing. In this process, the processing unit 22 sends data including access information to the IC card reader/writer 8. The IC card reader/writer 8 writes the data into the IC chip 90. In this process, the processing unit 22 may display a message on the touch panel 12 to prompt the user to hold the My Number card 9 over the IC card reader/writer 8. Further, the process for writing access information into the IC chip 90 provided in the My Number Card 9 owned by the user corresponds to the "process related to issuance of access information" according to the present invention.

Further, for example, if the fourth touch button 34 is touched in step S04, the processing unit 22 sends data including access information to the e-mail transmission unit 23 in step S08. The e-mail transmitter 23 sends the data by e-mail to an e-mail address that can be received by the mobile terminal 7 owned by the user. Note that sending data including access information to the e-mail sending unit 23 corresponds to "processing related to issuance of access information" according to the present invention.

Note that if a touch button other than the second touch button 32 is touched in step S04, no dedicated paper data is generated in step S08. Therefore, in this case, the processing unit 22 does not need to acquire information indicating the prescription details of the medicine from the management computer 2 in step S07.

After step S08, the process moves to step S09. In step S09, the processing unit 22 sends receipt data and medical statement data to the printing unit 13. The printing unit 13 prints the receipt data and the medical statement data to issue a receipt and a medical statement regarding the payment of the medical fee.

Further, if the dedicated form data has been generated in step S08, the processing unit 22 sends the dedicated form data as well as the receipt data and medical statement data to the printing unit 13 in step S09. The printing unit 13 issues dedicated paper by printing the dedicated paper data. In this case, the printing unit 13 will issue a special form in addition to the receipt and medical statement regarding the payment of the medical fee.

After step S09, this prescription processing flow ends.

Further, if the left touch button 15 is touched on the first selection screen shown in FIG. 5, the control unit 20 determines in step S03 that the user desires to issue a paper prescription ( (“No” in step S03). In this case, the process moves to step S10.

The processing content in step S10 is the same as the processing content in step S05 described above. However, the intention information sent from the generation unit 24 to the processing unit 22 in step S10 does not include the issuance information. After step S10, the process moves to step S11.

In step S11 shown in FIG. 4, the processing unit 22 executes processing related to prescriptions based on the issuance information and permission information included in the intention information.

Step S11 will be explained in detail. When the process moves to step S11, the delivery information is information indicating that a paper prescription is desired to be delivered. In step S11, the processing unit 22 sends a signal to the management computer 2 to instruct the paper prescription to be issued based on the issuance information. Note that sending the signal to the management computer 2 corresponds to "processing related to prescription delivery" according to the present invention.

When the management computer 2 receives the signal, it generates paper prescription data. Note that the paper prescription data has been described in detail in the above [Overall Configuration of Settlement Processing System].

Further, in step S11, the processing unit 22 sends permission information and a predetermined signal to the management computer 2. This signal is a signal instructing to incorporate the contents of the permission information into the paper prescription data. Note that sending the permission information and the signal to the management computer 2 corresponds to "processing for notifying the pharmacist of the contents of the permission information" according to the present invention. "Processing for notifying the pharmacist of the content of permission information" is a specific example of "processing related to prescription."

When the management computer 2 receives the permission information and the signal, it incorporates the contents of the permission information into the paper prescription data. The management computer 2 then transmits the paper prescription data to the printer 4. The printer 4 prints paper prescription data, and a doctor or the like affixes a seal or signs a paper prescription, thereby issuing a paper prescription. The paper prescription contains the contents of the permission information. Therefore, when the pharmacist views the paper prescription, the pharmacist will know the content of the permission information.

In addition, in step S11, the management computer 2 may transmit information indicating the contents of the medicine prescription to the electronic prescription server 5 in a state where it is associated with the identification information of the user who is the patient. The information is stored as an electronic prescription in the electronic prescription server 5. In this case, the management computer 2 may acquire the access information from the electronic prescription server 5 and incorporate the access information into the paper prescription data. As a result, access information (for example, a code similar to the two-dimensional code 30 shown in FIGS. 2 and 3) is printed on the paper prescription.

Furthermore, the management computer 2 may be configured not to transmit information indicating the contents of the medicine prescription to the electronic prescription server 5 when the user desires to receive a paper prescription.

After step S11, the process moves to step S12. In step S12, the processing unit 22 obtains medical statement data from the management computer 2. Further, the processing unit 22 acquires information indicating the details of the payment from the payment unit 21, and generates receipt data based on the information. The receipt data and medical statement data are detailed in [Issuance of receipts and medical statement] above. After step S12, the process moves to step S09.

With the above configuration, the processing related to prescriptions based on intention information (step S06, step S07, step S08, step S11 shown in FIG. 4) is performed after the payment processing (step S01 shown in FIG. 4) is completed (when the user receives medical treatment). (after completing the payment).

According to the configuration described above, processing related to prescriptions is executed based on the user's intention regarding electronic prescriptions. This reflects the user's intention regarding electronic prescriptions.

Further, according to the configuration described above, payment processing, acquisition of intention information, and processing related to prescriptions can be performed. This makes it easy to align the execution locations and execution timings for payment processing, acquisition of intention information, and processing related to prescriptions. For example, at the same place or at the same time as the payment process, the user's intention (e.g., whether he/she wishes to issue an electronic prescription or a paper prescription) and processing related to prescriptions (e.g., accessing the electronic prescription) It is easy to implement a configuration that executes at least one of the access information issuance processing for access information. As a result, convenience for the user tends to improve compared to a case where payment processing, acquisition of intention information, and processing related to prescriptions are all performed at different locations and timings.

Therefore, according to the configuration described above, the user's intention regarding the electronic prescription is reflected, and the convenience for the user is likely to be improved.

[Second embodiment]
In the first embodiment, regarding the issuance of an electronic prescription or a paper prescription, a decision-making entity other than the user (for example, an information processing device that automatically determines whether or not it is possible to issue an electronic prescription, a doctor, etc.) There is no configuration for executing processing based on decisions made by (employees of medical institutions).

However, the present invention is not limited thereto. The second embodiment of the present invention will be described below, focusing on the differences from the first embodiment. The configuration other than the portions described below is the same as the first embodiment. Furthermore, the same components as in the first embodiment are given the same reference numerals.

As shown in FIG. 8, in the second embodiment, the control unit 20 includes a condition determination unit 40 (corresponding to the “decision subject” according to the present invention) and a decision acquisition unit 41. Note that although the payment processing system A in the second embodiment includes each component shown in FIG. 1, illustration of some of them (for example, the management computer 2, etc.) is omitted in FIG.

The condition determining unit 40 determines whether a predetermined condition is satisfied. Then, the condition determination unit 40 generates decision information or arbitrary information according to the determination result. The decision information is information indicating whether the condition determining unit 40 has decided to issue an electronic prescription or a paper prescription. The optional information is information indicating that the user's wishes are reflected in which of an electronic prescription and a paper prescription is issued.

Although not particularly limited, for example, the above-mentioned "predetermined condition" may be "the content of the medicine prescription for the user who is a patient includes a medicine that is not covered by public medical insurance." Further, if the condition is satisfied, the condition determining unit 40 may decide to issue a paper prescription and may generate decision information indicating that the paper prescription has been decided to issue. Further, in order to determine whether the condition is satisfied, the condition determination unit 40 may be configured to acquire information indicating the prescription details of the medicine from the management computer 2.

Also, for example, even if the above-mentioned "predetermined condition" is that "it has not been confirmed on the online qualification confirmation system that the user who is a patient has a valid qualification for public medical insurance" good. Further, if the condition is satisfied, the condition determining unit 40 may decide to issue a paper prescription and may generate decision information indicating that the paper prescription has been decided to issue. Further, in order to determine whether the condition is satisfied, the condition determination unit 40 may be configured to acquire information indicating the confirmation result in the online qualification confirmation system.

The condition determining unit 40 generates determination information when determining which of an electronic prescription and a paper prescription will be issued. The condition determining unit 40 generates arbitrary information when it is not determined which of the electronic prescription and the paper prescription will be issued.

The decision acquisition unit 41 acquires the decision information or arbitrary information generated by the condition determination unit 40. Then, the decision acquisition unit 41 sends the acquired decision information or arbitrary information to the processing unit 22.

That is, the payment processing system A includes a decision acquisition unit 41 that acquires decision information that is information indicating whether a condition determination unit 40 different from the user has decided to issue an electronic prescription or a paper prescription. .

Furthermore, in the second embodiment, the payment processing device 1 is configured to execute processing related to prescriptions according to the prescription processing flow shown in FIG.

When the prescription processing flow shown in FIG. 9 is started, first, the process of step S01 is executed. In step S01, the above-mentioned payment processing is performed similarly to the first embodiment. When the payment process ends, the process moves to step S21.

In step S21, the processing unit 22 acquires decision information or arbitrary information from the decision acquisition unit 41. After that, the process moves to step S22.

In step S22, the control unit 20 determines whether the information acquired by the processing unit 22 from the determination acquisition unit 41 is determination information. If the information acquired by the processing unit 22 from the decision acquisition unit 41 is not decision information (that is, if it is arbitrary information) (“No” in step S22 of FIG. 9), the process moves to step S02. The processes after step S02 are the same as those in the first embodiment.

In other words, if the condition determination unit 40 does not determine which of an electronic prescription and a paper prescription is to be issued, the processing unit 22 determines whether the prescription is issued based on the issuance information, not based on the determination information. Execute processing.

If the information acquired by the processing unit 22 from the determination acquisition unit 41 is determination information (“Yes” in step S22 of FIG. 9), the process moves to step S23.

In step S23, the control unit 20 determines whether the decision information acquired by the processing unit 22 indicates that it has been decided to issue an electronic prescription. If the decision information acquired by the processing unit 22 indicates that it has been decided to issue an electronic prescription ("Yes" in step S23 of FIG. 9), the process moves to step S24. If the decision information acquired by the processing unit 22 does not indicate that it has been decided to issue an electronic prescription (that is, if it indicates that it has decided to issue a paper prescription) (in step S23 of FIG. 9, " No"), the process moves to step S25.

In step S24, under the control of the processing section 22, a message indicating the reason why it has been decided to issue the electronic prescription is displayed on the touch panel 12 (corresponding to the "third notification section" according to the present invention). After that, the process moves to step S04.

The processes after step S04 are basically the same as in the first embodiment. However, as shown in FIG. 9, when the process moves from step S24 to step S04, the processes of step S02 and step S03 are not executed. Therefore, the intention information generated by the generation unit 24 does not include delivery information. Then, the processing unit 22 sends a signal to the management computer 2 instructing the electronic prescription to be issued based on the determination information instead of the issuance information. Note that sending the signal to the management computer 2 corresponds to "processing related to prescription delivery" according to the present invention.

In step S25, under the control of the processing unit 22, a message indicating the reason why it has been decided to issue a paper prescription is displayed on the touch panel 12. Although not limited to this, the message may include, for example, ``There was a drug not covered by medical insurance, so a ``paper prescription'' will be automatically selected. ” may also be the content.

In this way, the payment processing system A includes the touch panel 12 that notifies the reason for the decision made by the condition determining section 40 when the condition determining section 40 determines which of an electronic prescription and a paper prescription will be issued. There is.

After step S25, the process moves to step S10. The processes after step S10 are basically the same as those in the first embodiment. However, as shown in FIG. 9, when the process moves from step S25 to step S10, the processes of step S02 and step S03 are not executed. Therefore, the intention information generated by the generation unit 24 does not include delivery information. Then, the processing unit 22 sends a signal to the management computer 2 instructing the paper prescription to be issued based on the determination information instead of the issuance information. Note that sending the signal to the management computer 2 corresponds to "processing related to prescription delivery" according to the present invention.

In this way, the processing unit 22 executes processing related to prescription issuance based on the determination information. More specifically, when the condition determination unit 40 determines which of an electronic prescription and a paper prescription will be issued, the processing unit 22 determines the prescription based on the determination information, not on the issuance information. Executes processing related to issuance.

Note that the present invention is not limited to the configuration described above. When the condition determining unit 40 determines which of the electronic prescription and the paper prescription is to be issued, issuance information is generated by executing the processes of step S02 and step S03, and the processing unit 22 , the decision information may be given priority over the issuance information. Even in this case, the processing unit 22 executes processing related to prescription issuance based on the determination information, not on the issuance information.

Furthermore, instead of the condition determining unit 40, an employee of the medical institution, such as a doctor, may decide which of an electronic prescription and a paper prescription is to be issued. In this case, for example, instead of the condition determination section 40, an information input section may be provided in which an employee of the medical institution, such as a doctor, can input decision information. Further, the decision information may be sent to the decision acquisition section 41 from the information input section. In this case, employees of the medical institution, such as doctors, correspond to the "decision-making body" according to the present invention.
