JP5149471B2 - Drug side-effect overlap check system - Google Patents

Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a system for checking whether or not drugs having side effects of the same symptom are duplicated when a plurality of drugs are prescribed for one patient at the same time.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Drugs usually have multiple indications and side effects, and a doctor or pharmacist can give the patient an appropriate explanation about the efficacy of the prescribed medication and the initial symptoms and treatment of possible side effects, etc. It is necessary for the patient to take medication correctly while self-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]
Therefore, in each medical institution or pharmacy, if you create a database on drug side effects and try to check for duplicate side effects on a personal computer etc., it is necessary to install a large-capacity storage device, and the economic burden is great, Enormous effort was required to create and update the database.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention provides a server installed in a drug information institution that manages and manages information related to drugs, and a communication that can be connected to the server via a monitor, an input device, and the Internet as communication means. It consists of a terminal device installed in a medical institution or pharmacy with a device and a control unit. The server has an identification code for each drug, a drug name, and a side effect that each drug has for each appearing organ and initial symptom. There is provided a storage device in which a database comprising a drug file storing a side effect code represented by a symbol and a side effect file storing the side effect content for each side effect code is provided, from the terminal via a communication means the connect to server Te, when the identification code or the drug name prescribed plurality of agents to enter by the input device, to the input information is the server Among the side effects included in the signal has been said plurality of agents from the database stored in the storage device by the control unit in the server, the presence or absence of duplication of drugs have side effects of the same symptoms appeared organ, including initial symptoms are retrieved, these search results is transmitted to the terminal via the communication means, the control unit of the terminal, a side effect duplication check system of drugs to be displayed on the monitor, which is the prescribed plurality The medicine identification code or medicine name is input by the input device of the terminal and transmitted to the server, and a plurality of prescribed medicines are stored from the database stored in the storage device by the control unit in the server. Among the side effects, the presence or absence of duplication of drugs having side effects of the same symptom is searched including the appearance organ and the initial symptom. Is transmitted to the terminal, and all the side effect codes of the side effects of the prescribed drugs are displayed on the monitor of the terminal together with the number of drugs with which each side effect may appear, the contents of the side effects associated to the sub action code by selecting the side effects code, are displayed all drug name with its side effects code identifying them as is if duplicate what side effects throat agents It is characterized by.
[0008]
By coding the contents of the side effects, the side effects of a plurality of drugs can be automatically calculated, and the presence or absence of duplication can be easily displayed. Therefore, the duplication of side effects can be checked quickly and reliably.
[0009]
In addition, since the storage device storing the database is installed in the drug information institution, creation and maintenance management of the database including the drug file and the side effect file is performed by the drug information institution, and each terminal device has a large-scale storage device. A database can be used without providing a database. Accordingly, the terminal can be easily installed, and the latest information can always be used from any terminal without omission.
[0010]
In particular, medical institutions, pharmacies, and patients can obtain information very easily and quickly using various communication means such as the Internet and mobile phones.
[0011]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
[0012]
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of a hardware configuration of the present invention. The storage device 12 is provided in connection with the control unit 11 in the server 10 held by the drug information organization 1 that conducts research and analysis of various information related to the drug and manages the information. A database consisting of a drug identification code and a drug name, a drug file 13 storing a side effect code of a side effect of each drug, and a side effect file 14 storing a side effect content represented by the side effect code is stored. The terminal 20 is installed in each examination room, pharmacy, etc. of a medical institution, and includes a control unit 21, a monitor 22 that displays data processed by the control unit 21, and data input to the control unit 21. A printing device 25 that includes an input device 23 and a communication device 24 that can be connected to the Internet as communication means, and that can print the contents displayed on the monitor 22 is connected to the control unit 21 as necessary. Then, a terminal 20 installed in a medical institution or a pharmacy is connected to the server 10 via the Internet, so that necessary information can be retrieved from the database of the storage device 12 and read. ing.
[0013]
The contents of the drug file 13 and the side effect file 14 are maintained and managed by the drug information institution 1 having the server 10, and when new drug information is added or the side effect contents are added or changed, the drug information institution 1 The database in the storage device 12 is corrected.
[0014]
The side effect code is represented by 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 an identification code for identifying what is defined as a different side effect, for example, when there is a difference in the lesion site. The way of expressing the side effect code is not limited to the example of FIG. 2, and the one represented by a symbol different for each appearing organ and initial symptom is used depending on symbols such as numerals and alphabets.
[0015]
Hereinafter, an example of a procedure for checking for side effect duplication using the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
[0016]
When a plurality of drugs are prescribed for one patient at the same time, the doctor inputs all the identification codes of the drugs using the input device 23 of the terminal device 20.
[0017]
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. To check only when all symptoms match, specify all digits, and when you want to check for duplication of specific organs or only initial symptoms, specify and input digits representing them.
[0018]
After that, when the icon for executing the check function is clicked, the terminal 20 is connected to the server 10 via the Internet, and the control unit 11 in the server 10 searches for side effects relating to each inputted medicine, and the result is the terminal Displayed on the monitor 22 of the machine 20.
[0019]
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 monitor 22, and all side effect codes of the side effects of those drugs are displayed in the center. Each drug is listed along with the number of drugs that may have side effects. 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.
[0020]
Therefore, in addition to the conventional concomitant contraindication check, doctors may stop the medication of drugs with overlapping side effects or change to other drugs to avoid duplication of side effects. Can be prescribed so that serious side effects are less likely to occur. Furthermore, the safety to the patient can be further ensured by the pharmacist performing the above-mentioned check before medication.
[0021]
As shown in FIG. 4, the side effect check result may not be displayed for all drugs, but only the drugs with overlapping side effects may be displayed.
[0022]
In this way, the drug information agency 1 controls and manages drug information such as side effects of drugs, and provides information to each medical institution or pharmacy via the Internet. When there is a possibility of a new side effect, just update the drug file 13 and the side effect file 14 of the drug information institution 1, and the latest drug information can always be obtained at any medical institution, pharmacy, or patient anywhere in the country. Can be used.
[0023]
In the present embodiment, the Internet is used as the communication means. However, mobile communication means such as a mobile phone and a PDA, and information requesters, such as digital TV broadcasts, are used as appropriate. Various communication means can be used.
[0024]
【Effect of the invention】
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.
[0025]
Furthermore, since the storage device is installed in the medicine information institution and can be connected from the terminal device by communication means such as the Internet, information in the storage device can be shared from many terminal devices, and each terminal device can be shared. Since it is not necessary to provide a storage device for storing an enormous database, the economic burden for installing the terminal is reduced, and even if this is not a large hospital, the system can be easily installed by installing the terminal. Can be used.
[0026]
In addition, since the database management is centralized in the drug information institution, if the drug file or side effect file data is updated in the drug information institution server, there is no need to perform data maintenance for each terminal. , You can always get the latest information from any terminal without omission.
