Schematic of the printed matter used in the embodiment shown in FIG. It shows an example of a list display of medication management software used in a pharmacy computer. It is the schematic which shows different embodiment of printed matter.

  Next, the form for implementing this invention is demonstrated.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the medication information system according to the present invention mainly includes, for example, a medicine bag in which a pharmacy computer 1 and the necessary personal information and medication information issued by the pharmacy computer 1 and a two-dimensional code are written. A printed matter (a medicine bag in the present embodiment) 2 provided with such a medicine and a two-dimensional code printed on the printed matter bag 2 that has been printed by the printing machine and can be read, such as a mobile phone For example, the mobile terminal 3 and the mobile terminal 3 and the pharmacy computer 1 are connected to each other to transmit and receive various kinds of information to and from each other.

  In the present embodiment, in particular, the portable terminal 3 and the pharmacy computer 1 can communicate with the medical institution computer 5 via the web communication 4.

  More specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, the pharmacy-side computer 1 is a conventional server computer, for example, an input device 11 such as a keyboard, a monitor 12, and the like shown in FIG. It has a web communication device 13 capable of communicating with the portable terminal 3 via web communication 4, a printing device 14 for the medicine bag 2, a storage device 15, and a CPU 16 for controlling the devices.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the two-way communication means 17 capable of making a call or image communication with the portable terminal 3 or the medical institution side computer 5 through the web communication device 13 is provided.

  More specifically, the storage device 15 of the pharmacy computer 1 stores and stores patient personal information 151, drug information 152, patient medication management software 153, two-dimensional code creation software 154, and the like.

  In addition, the portable terminal 3 reads a two-dimensional code (not shown) that can read the two-dimensional code of the bag 2 in the printed matter printed on the pharmacy computer 1, and the read two-dimensional code. Information is automatically communicated to the pharmacy computer 1 via the web communication 4 and to the medical institution computer 4 via the web communication 4.

  FIG. 3 shows a medicine bag which is an example of the printed material 2 provided when receiving the medicine used in the present invention. Like a conventional medicine bag, a patient name, a prescribed medicine name and medicine photograph, usage, In addition to the dose, a two-dimensional code 21 on which information on at least one medication required in the present invention is written is printed.

  In order to use this embodiment having the above-described configuration, first, necessary information is input from the input device 11 in the pharmacy computer based on a prescription from a doctor, as in the conventional medicine bag creation. Of course, the information may be automatically taken in via the receipt computer, or the patient personal information 151 and the medicine information 152 stored in the storage device 14 may be selected.

  In particular, in the present embodiment, a two-dimensional code including necessary information based on the medicine information prescribed by the prescription by the two-dimensional code creation software 154 stored in the storage device 14 in advance and the personal information is obtained. Printing is performed by the printing device 15.

  In particular, the two-dimensional code 21 is basically read by the patient's portable terminal 3 provided with the medicine bag containing the dispensed medicine, and is necessary for the pharmacy computer 1 via the web communication 4 based on the information. That is, the information written in advance in the two-dimensional code is transmitted.

  Therefore, the functions of the two-dimensional code 21 include, for example, drug check information that reports that a patient has taken medication over time, a drug that the patient is dispensing, or a symptom that is caused by taking a dispensed drug. Items to be consulted with a pharmacist) or hospital (physician), or orders for health foods, over-the-counter drugs, medical equipment, etc. associated with symptoms may be mentioned, but are not limited thereto.

  For example, when the printed two-dimensional code 21 that is the printed matter 2 (medicine bag) handed to the patient together with the medicine is for confirming the dosage, the patient takes the prescribed medicine at the prescribed dosage time. Thereafter, when the patient reads the two-dimensional code 21 for transmitting the medication to the pharmacy-side computer 1 by the portable terminal 3 of the patient, the reading software (2D code for medication stored in the portable terminal in advance) (Not shown) is activated and the mobile terminal 3 is automatically connected to the pharmacy computer 1 via the web communication 4 of the pharmacy computer 1 written in the two-dimensional code 21 by sending a connection signal, The medication information such as the time of taking and the type of medication written in the two-dimensional code 21 is transmitted.

  In the present embodiment, the medication information from the two-dimensional code 21 for medication check printed on the medication bag 2 is processed by the patient medication management software 153 stored in the storage device of the pharmacy computer 1. The fact that the patient has taken a prescribed medicine at a prescribed time of administration is managed by, for example, a medication list as shown in FIG. 4, and the medication state of these patients can be confirmed by the pharmacy computer 1.

  By managing the medication using the mobile terminal in this way, the notification of forgetting to drink by sending an email from the conventional pharmacy side becomes unnecessary, and the notification of forgetting to drink from the conventional pharmacy side computer is also received. It is possible to further effectively utilize means for providing forgotten-drinking software having a timer function in the conventionally known portable terminal itself for preventing mistakes such as not being transmitted due to poor communication. When there is no communication indicating that the medicine is taken from the portable terminal 3, the patient can be inquired from the pharmacy side.

  Therefore, the patient can manage the medication by a simple operation of reading the predetermined two-dimensional code 21 printed on the printed matter 2 such as a medicine bag with the portable terminal 3 without taking the medication management by himself / herself. In addition, it is possible not only to create past continuous medication information at pharmacies and hospitals very easily, but also to use these information at pharmacies and hospitals for accurate dispensing and diagnosis.

  Further, the two-dimensional code 21 printed on the printed matter 2 such as a medicine bag in the present invention is not only related to drug management, but may be, for example, a post-dose condition, consultation, or emergency notification as described above. For example, in the two-dimensional code creation software stored in the pharmacy computer 1. Depending on the patient's medical history, constitution of the drug, drug history, etc., and the type name of the drug to be dispensed, it is preferable to select and print on the medicine bag 2 the information necessary for the patient, especially a plurality of two-dimensional When the code 21 is printed, it is possible to prevent the patient from reading it erroneously if the use is written together or is distinguished by color coding or the like. For safety reasons, for example, information read from the portable terminal 3 can be transmitted when a plurality of two-dimensional codes are sequentially read. In these cases, it is extremely simple. The patient's personal information can also be protected by means.

  In the present embodiment, if necessary, the two-dimensional code 21 is connected to the bidirectional communication means 17 of the pharmacy computer 1 to contact the pharmacist, or directly using the web communication 4 to the medical institution side. By connecting to the computer 5 and consulting with a doctor, or by writing information that can take emergency measures, the patient can spend time with peace of mind, and at the same time, the pharmacist and doctor can spend time with peace of mind.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, information that a patient wants to convey to a pharmacy or hospital can be transmitted by a simple operation that can be read by a portable terminal. In addition to responding to the information, the transmitted information can be used at any time as information such as an electronic drug history system or an electronic medical record system, which is extremely useful for both.

In the present embodiment, the case where the two-dimensional code 21 is printed on the medicine bag as the printed matter 2 has been shown. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the medication information providing document 22, the medicine notebook (seal) 23, the medicine The two-dimensional code 21 is printed on various printed materials provided when the patient passes the medicine, such as the heat seal 24 portion, the medicine packing paper 25, and the label 26 attached to the liquid container, and these are printed on the portable terminal. It can be applied to those that can be read and implemented in the same manner.
