JP4341155B2 - Drug side-effect duplicate testing system - Google Patents

Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a system for inspecting whether or not drugs having the same side effect are duplicated when a plurality of drugs are prescribed for a single patient at the same time.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Drugs usually have multiple indications and side effects, and the doctor or pharmacist gives the patient a self-explanation by giving appropriate explanations about the efficacy of the prescribed medication and the initial symptoms and treatment of possible side effects. It is necessary to take medication correctly while monitoring and to avoid danger.
[0003]
In addition, patients are often prescribed a plurality of drugs at once, especially in medical diseases, etc., but the number of concomitant drugs increases and the probability of overlapping side effects increases. Even with side effects that rarely occur alone, there is a high possibility that symptoms will appear due to duplication, and in some cases, serious symptoms that worsen QOL may appear.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the past, in order to prevent the appearance of serious side effects, drug contraindications have been described in drug books, etc., and have been confirmed at the time of prescription. Was almost unchecked.
[0005]
Moreover, since it is extremely difficult to confirm the side effects of a huge number of drugs with only human memory, a system for checking for side effect duplication is required.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
Therefore, the present invention made in order to solve the above-described problems, a drug file in which a drug identification code and a drug name of a drug and a side effect code of a side effect of each drug are filed, and a side effect represented in the side effect code A storage device that stores a side effect file in which specific contents are filed, and a medicine file and a side effect file are searched by automatic calculation using a search means based on a plurality of medicine identification codes input by an input device, respectively. Side effects code that matched the entered drug identification code by extracting side effects data, extracted the side effects code by the agent using a computer having a control device for displaying or outputting by the display device or printer to data of in side effect duplication inspection system, the side effects code is stored in the storage device Has an initial symptom code represents the initial symptoms of occurrence site coding and side effects represents at least side effects appearing sites symbol symbols, said agent files based on a plurality of drug identification code the input when retrieved to retrieve the corresponding side effects code, wherein also be output from the overlapping relation of occurrence site code or early symptoms code between multiple drugs is the input by the display or printing device to the display device And
[0007]
By coding the content of side effects, it is possible to automatically calculate the side effects of multiple drugs and display the presence or absence of duplication , especially which drugs overlap what type of side effects. It is possible to check for duplication of side effects without fail.
[0008]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
[0009]
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of a hardware configuration of the present invention.
[0010]
A storage device 12 connected to the control unit 21 stores a database including a drug identification code, a drug name, and a side effect file 14 storing specific contents of side effects represented in the side effect code. .
[0011]
In addition, the control unit 21 includes an input device 23 such as a keyboard and a touch pen for inputting data to the control unit 21, a display device such as a monitor for displaying data processed by the control unit 21, and as necessary. A printing device 24 capable of printing the contents displayed on the display device 22 is connected.
[0012]
The side effect code is expressed as a reference to an organ in which the symptom appears and a symbol indicating the initial symptom. Fig. 2 is an example of a side effect code consisting of 5 digits, the first 2 digits are the appearance organ code indicating the organ where the side effect appears, the next 2 digits are the initial symptom code, and the lower 1 digit is the other Are expressed as identification codes for identifying what is defined as different side effects, for example, when there is a difference in the lesion site. The present invention is not limited to this, and symbols represented by symbols such as numerals and alphabets that are different for each appearing organ and initial symptom are used.
[0013]
Hereinafter, the procedure for checking for duplicate side effects using the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
[0014]
When a plurality of drugs are prescribed simultaneously for one patient, all the identification codes of these drugs are input using the input device 23. Next, a decision is made as to whether the side effects are to be checked for duplication regarding the appearing organ or the initial symptoms. That is, it is designated what number of digits of the side effect code matches and it is determined that the side effect is duplicated, and the number of digits is input. If you want to check only when all symptoms match, specify all digits. If you want to check only for specific organs or only initial symptoms, specify the digits that represent them.
[0015]
Then, the detection device provided in the control unit 21 searches for the side effect related to each inputted medicine, and the result is displayed on the display device 22. FIG. 4 shows an example of a screen displayed on the monitor 22, a list of prescribed drugs is displayed on the left side of the screen displayed on the display device 22, and side effects of those drugs are displayed in the center. Are listed together with the number of drugs that may cause each side effect. When you place the cursor on an arbitrary line of the displayed side effect code, the content of the side effect indicated by the side effect code is displayed in the upper right part of the screen, and the name of the drug having the side effect is displayed in the lower right part of the screen. It is made to know which drug has what kind of side effect.
[0016]
Therefore, in addition to the conventional check for contraindications, the above check is performed to stop the administration of drugs with overlapping side effects or change to other drugs to avoid duplication of side effects. And can be prescribed to prevent serious side effects. Moreover, the pharmacist can further ensure safety to the patient by performing the above-described check before medication.
[0017]
【The invention's effect】
According to the present invention, the side effect of each drug is made into a database by expressing the content of the side effect as a code, and automatically calculating whether there is a duplicate side effect from a plurality of drugs and quickly and surely checking it. Can do.
[0018]
Therefore, it is possible to prevent a patient who is prescribed a plurality of drugs at the same time from having serious symptoms such as symptoms appearing or QOL worsening due to overlapping side effects.
[0019]
In particular, the side effects of each drug are stored in a database, so data can be added or changed. Deletion is extremely quick and easy, and emergency information can be dealt with immediately.
