Description

  The present invention relates to a drug storage device in which an imaging device is added to a drug storage, and more particularly, to a drug storage device for grasping a stock of drugs being stored by imaging.

  It is legally required to store narcotics and stimulants separately from other drugs and store them in a locked-up, secure facility (Article 34, Paragraph 2 of the Drug Control Law). The fixed equipment is a fixed safe dedicated to drugs or a safe that cannot be easily moved (heavy safe), and has locking facilities (Narcotics Management Manual in Hospitals / Clinics, December 2006, Welfare) (Ministry of Labor, Pharmaceutical and Food Affairs Bureau, Monitoring and Guidance Countermeasures Division), and a structure that is locked in two or more places (combination of cylinder lock and dial lock) is considered desirable. In addition, when using or discarding drugs, it is supposed to be recorded in a form such as a book or application form.

  Aside from narcotics with such strict storage conditions, chemical storage devices that can store other medicines that are less storage conditions in an easy-to-use manner and automatically grasp the storage status and usage status are put to practical use. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1). This medicine storage device is provided with counting means for determining the number of medicines stored in a number of cassettes for storing and arranging medicines. Furthermore, after adopting a box-shaped housing for the cassette holding part (Patent Document 1 Fourth Example), a large opening for taking in and out chemicals is formed on the front surface, and a curtain covering the opening is added, When not in use, the curtain is lowered and the inside of the cassette holder is darkened.

  In addition, a wheelbarrow for transporting medicines that has a storage unit with casters and can store medicines in the warehouse and transport them by hand, as well as a cold storage function and a traveling drive function, has been put into practical use as a medicine cart. (For example, refer to Patent Document 2). The drug information management device provided in this cart for transporting medicines comprises a microprocessor system and the like, and includes a card reader and an LCD panel. It reads prescription information, surgery information, patient information, set information, transport destination information, transport route information, etc. from an IC card, etc., and identifies and manages the stored medicines. Information such as guidance display and display for prompting confirmation of the patient to be applied is displayed on the LCD panel.

  Furthermore, as a chemical management system that manages the usage status of chemicals used in medical settings by setting some chemicals in the tray in advance, the chemicals are collected from the image data by photographing the chemicals set surface of the tray. Has been put into practical use (see, for example, Patent Document 3). In this system, set information before use is saved, and after use, measurement work is performed in units of trays to detect changes in the quantity of chemicals. It is also possible to grasp accurately.

  In addition, in order to manage the usage status of the chemicals that are set on the tray and used in the medical field, the tray is partitioned to store the chemicals in each compartment, and the presence or absence of the use of chemicals is grasped for each compartment. The chemical management system which has become is also put into practical use (see, for example, Patent Document 4). Specifically, the arrangement determining means for determining the arrangement of the chemicals to be set on the tray according to the dispensing instruction, and the chemical identification code is printed on the printing paper laid on the inner bottom of the tray corresponding to the arrangement. The image forming apparatus includes a printing unit, an imaging unit that takes a print sheet together with the tray, and a determination unit that reads an identification code from the image and determines whether or not a chemical is used. It is a detachable partition that divides the inner space of the tray into a number of sections, and has several types with different sections, and the partition data and dosage form data are referred to and automatic partition selection is performed. It has become.

  This chemical management system is used to detect the presence or absence of chemicals in order to manage the usage of chemicals used in the medical field. Since the burden of maintenance is large, the imaging method is adopted. In the case of an imaging method, only one or a small number of sensitive parts and detection parts (sensors) are required, so that it is easy to manufacture and maintain. In addition, by following the imaging method with few sensors and partitioning the tray, it is possible to obtain images that can be detected reliably on a unit-by-segment basis. The situation can be grasped quickly and accurately.

  A barcode is familiar as an identification code, and a two-dimensional code obtained by expanding the barcode is also widespread. However, such a barcode is generally printed on a flat sheet surface and optically read. In addition, as an identification code suitable for printing and reading on the surface of various articles, a color bit code (referred to as a 1D or 1.5D color bit code or a reflective color code) that represents encoded information in a color array. Have been developed) (see, for example, Patent Documents 5 and 6). The reading is performed by capturing image data including a color bit code with an imaging device such as an area sensor and dividing the image data into a plurality of color areas or color area groups. By actually performing decoding after narrowing down using, it is possible to simply decode without using a cut mark such as a two-dimensional barcode.

In this way, devices have been developed and provided to support drug inventory management and dispensing operations by reading and collecting codes from batch shot images, as described above. As described above, strict regulations are imposed on the specifications of storages and record records, and strict storage is required, so automation and practical use of inventory management and work support are delayed.
Nonetheless, the more strict storage is required, the quicker and more accurate grasp of the occurrence of undesired situations such as loss and the automation of management etc. in order to prevent the occurrence of unwanted situations. Is useful and has great benefits.
For this reason, there is a growing demand for automated drug storage in a simple and inexpensive manner by applying the above-mentioned technology for inventory management and work support by batch shooting and code reading of drug storage in the warehouse. ing.

  However, it is a precondition for the application of the above technique that the storage space in the drug storage is open on the upper surface, and that the upper imaging device takes the upper surface of the storage space downward or obliquely downward. Because the doors of the drug storage must be rearranged to the top instead of the front, the top plate is made into a door, but the doors of the drug storage that must be solid equipment by regulations are heavy The ceiling door that is raised and lowered during opening and closing is greatly raised and lowered, but even if it is only on the swing end side, it is not easy to open and close manually.

However, adding an automatic opening / closing device or assistance device increases the cost of the mechanism and increases the cost, and it becomes difficult to open and close the door in the event of a failure or power outage, and suddenly drugs are required for emergency surgery. In such a case, an emergency operation or the like may be hindered. For this reason, the above technique cannot be applied to drug storage.
Therefore, it is a technical problem to realize a drug storage device that can be opened and closed easily without opening and lowering even when the top plate is a door so that the drug storage state in the drug storage can be photographed from above.

  The drug storage device of the present invention (Solution 1) was created in order to solve such a problem, and a drug storage room in which the drug entry / exit of the storage space in the warehouse is formed on the upper surface, and from above One or a plurality of imaging devices that take the storage space downward or obliquely downward, and an identification code assigned to each narcotic planned to be stored or a box that can store the same is read from the captured image of the imaging device. A drug storage device comprising an information processing device that updates inventory data according to whether or not reading is possible, wherein a door attached to the drug storage and opening and closing a drug entry / exit of the storage space is the drug storage A swingable vertical plate connected to the storage through a vertical hinge, and connected to the vertical plate in a manner that the connection release portion is hidden in an integrated or closed state with the vertical plate. As the vertical plate swings Characterized in that by lateral movement is obtained by including a top plate portion for advancing and retracting directly above drug entrance of the receiving space.

  The drug storage device according to the present invention is (the solution means 2), the drug storage device of the solution means 1, wherein the imaging device is disposed on the top plate portion when the imaging device is withdrawn from immediately above the drug entry / exit of the storage space. It is characterized by the fact that the top surface can also be taken.

  Furthermore, the drug storage device of the present invention (Solution means 3) is the drug storage device of the above solution means 1 and 2, wherein the information processing device determines whether or not the box identification code allocated to the inside and outside of the box can be read. Accordingly, the opening / closing of the box is discriminated.

  The drug storage device according to the present invention (solution 4) is the drug storage device of the solution 3, wherein the information processing device reads a drug identification code assigned to a drug storage site in the box. The drug storage state of the box is detected in accordance with the availability.

  In such a drug storage device of the present invention (Solution 1), the storage space in the drug storage is opened to the upper surface, and the upper surface of the storage space is taken by the upper imaging device. Thus, when the door is opened, the drug storage state in the warehouse is shot at once, and the code reading from the taken image and the update of the inventory management data according to the read result are performed by the information processing device. Management is simple and inexpensive. Moreover, the door is not immediately attached to the drug storage via a hinge like a general door, but a vertical plate portion is interposed between the top plate portion and the hinge for opening and closing, and the axial direction of the hinge The vertical plate portion swings around the vertical axis like a general front door or side door.

  In addition, the top plate connected to the vertical plate portion moves laterally as the vertical plate portion swings, and by the horizontal movement, the upper portion of the storage space is directly above the narcotic entrance / exit (the narcotics inlet / outlet). By moving forward and backward, the drug doorway in the storage space of the drug storage is opened and closed. Therefore, if the swing side part of the vertical plate part is pulled or pushed sideways, the vertical plate part swings around the hinge and the top plate part is closer to the sliding door movement than the door movement. Therefore, it is not necessary to lift or lower the top plate, and the narcotic doorway can be opened and closed easily.

In addition, the top plate that has exited to open the narcotic doorway is also used as a work table beside the storage space.
Furthermore, by connecting the top plate and the vertical plate in an integrated or similar manner, the door will not open easily unless the lock is unlocked, regardless of whether the lock is provided on either part. .
Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to realize a drug storage device that can be opened and closed easily without opening and lowering even when the top plate is a door so that the drug storage state in the drug storage can be photographed from above.

  Further, in the drug storage device of the present invention (Solution 2), when performing a single operation such as confirmation of a drug name or opening / closing of a box when taking a drug in / out of a drug storage, the side of the storage space is horizontal. Since it is natural to work on the top plate that has left, the work area is also included in the shooting range, so drugs in and out of the drug storage are also under the control of the drug storage device.

In the drug storage device of the present invention (solution 3), it is premised that the information processing device is configured such that if an identification code is assigned to the box, it can be identified as the box identification code. . If the box identification codes assigned to the inside and outside of the box are attached to the inside and outside of the box, the information processing device automatically determines whether the box is opened or closed according to whether or not the box identification code can be read. Furthermore, (Solution 4) If the drug identification code assigned to the drug storage site in the box is attached to the drug storage site in the box, when the box is opened, the information processing device Depending on whether or not the medicine identification code can be read, even the drug storage state of the box is automatically detected.
Therefore, when storing a drug, even if it is stored in a manner in which one or a plurality of drugs are stored in a box and then stored in a box, it can be managed accurately.

  The drug storage device 10 (see FIGS. 1 (a) and 1 (b)) is incorporated in a drug storage 20 which is a main part of the mechanical system and a touch panel erected on the rear edge of the drug storage 20. The input device 11 and the display device 12, and the image pickup device 13 provided thereon are further provided. Further, although the illustration of the arrangement state is omitted and shown in a block diagram (see FIG. 1C), the drug storage device 10 is assembled with the touch panel or information provided with the drug storage 20 Prints the processing device 30, the lock sensor 14 attached to the locks 23, 24 of the drug storage 20 and detects whether it is locked or unlocked, and the form required by the law A printer 16 is also provided. The imaging device 13, the lock sensor 14, the input device 11, the display device 12, and the printer 16 are connected to the information processing device 30 by a signal cable or the like. The information processing apparatus 30 can communicate with the external prescription management apparatus 15 via a communication line such as a LAN.

  The drug storage 20 (see FIGS. 1 (a) and 1 (b)) is provided with a solid main body part that encloses the storage spaces 27 and 29, and a door body 22 + 26 that opens and closes the opening of the storage space. The main body portion is provided with a storage space 27 that is fixed by releasing the upper surface disposed in the upper portion of the main body portion and a drawer 29 that can be pulled out forward disposed in the lower portion of the main body portion. It has been. The storage spaces 27 and 29 are for storing drugs, but the storage space 27 is a target for inventory management and work support by batch shooting and code reading of the drug storage state in the warehouse. However, the drawer 29 is not such a target. For example, the drawer 29 is configured to store drugs that are managed manually as before, for example, for code allocation or temporary storage.

  The door body 22 + 26 is attached to the drug storage 20 and opens and closes the drug entry / exit of the storage spaces 27 and 29, that is, the upper surface opening of the storage space 27 and the front outlet of the drawer 29. In response to the narcotic doorway being formed on the top surface, the top plate portion 26 in a horizontal position that opens and closes the narcotic doorway, the top plate portion 26 is movably supported, and the front outlet port of the drawer 29 is provided. It is provided with a vertical plate portion 22 in a vertical posture that opens / closes. The vertical plate portion 22 and the top plate portion 26 are integrated by joining the upper end of the vertical plate portion 22 and the front end of the top plate portion 26 by welding or the like. Alternatively, they are firmly connected by hooks or screws. In the latter case, the connection release part, such as removing the hook or loosening the screw, is arranged at a site that is hidden behind the door 22 + 26 and not exposed when the door 22 + 26 is closed.

  Except that the top plate portion 26 is connected, the vertical plate portion 22 is formed of a rectangular flat plate that covers the front surface of the drug storage 20, and is either of the left and right sides. One (the right side in the illustrated example) is connected to one vertical side (the right front side in the illustrated example) of the drug storage 20 via a hinge 21 whose axial direction is substantially vertical. The hinge 21 can swing about 270 ° (in the example shown, from the front to the right side of the drug storage 20) like a door. In this example, in addition to the handle 25, two locks 23 and 24 are also provided on the vertical plate portion 22.

  The top plate portion 26 is also formed of a square / rectangular flat plate, but the size of the top plate portion 26 corresponds to the top surface of the drug storage 20 and is large enough to completely cover the drug entrance of the storage space 27. It ’s enough. When closing the opening to be opened and closed as a member of the door (see FIG. 1 (a)), the vertical plate portion 22 may be in close contact with the front surface of the drug storage 20 just like a normal door. The plate portion 26 does not adhere to the upper surface of the drug storage 20, but the upper space of the drug storage 20 (more specifically, the storage space 27 on the upper surface of the main body of the drug storage 20 is not allowed to pass the drug). By facing the upper edge part) from the top, the room for moving in a direction parallel to the upper surface of the drug storage 20 is secured, and a lateral movement such as a skid can be performed. .

  Since any one of the four sides of the top plate portion 26 (the front side in the illustrated example) is connected to the upper side of the vertical plate portion 22, the top plate portion 26 and the vertical plate portion 22 are centered on the hinge 21. They swing together, but the connected state is Γ-shaped and the axis of the hinge 21 is perpendicular to the top plate portion 26, so that the top plate portion 26 moves along with the swing of the vertical plate portion 22. By moving laterally, the storage space 27 moves forward and backward immediately above the narcotic doorway. When the storage space 27 to be opened and closed is fully opened as the door body 22 + 26 (see FIG. 1B), the vertical plate portion 22 is the side surface in the swinging direction of the left and right side surfaces of the main body of the drug storage 20 ( In the example shown in the figure, the right side) is perfectly attached, and the top plate portion 26 comes to the side of the storage space 27 like a side desk attached from the same swinging direction.

  The storage space 27 (see FIG. 1B and FIG. 2) is a rectangular parallelepiped space with a low height, and only the upper surface is released and the other five surfaces are closed (FIG. 1 ( In this example (see FIG. 2A), this is partitioned vertically and horizontally into a large number of compartments 28 arranged in a matrix of 10 rows and 4 columns. Each compartment 28 can store and store individual drugs as they are, but here, the drugs are stored in a box 40 and the boxes 40 are stored one by one in the compartment 28 (FIG. 2 (b)). Since the compartments 28 are 40 rooms, a maximum of 40 boxes 40 can be stored (see FIGS. 2C and 2D). When the box 40 is closed, the box 40 is divided into compartments in a state where the largest surface of the six sides of the box 40 comes to the side and becomes vertical, and the smaller surface comes up and down and lies horizontally. By storing in 28, the storage space 27 has a high storage capacity even when the upper surface is released.

  Further, the drug storage 20 having such a storage space 27 and the above-described door body 22 + 26 has a narcotic entrance / exit of the storage space 27 in the storage on the upper surface of the main body, so that the compartment 28 of the storage space 27 can be accessed. The box 40 can be taken in and out in a standing posture. Moreover, in spite of the difficulty of placing an object on the main body as a price for releasing the upper surface, the top plate 26 lies beside the storage space 27 when the door 22 + 26 is opened. When the box 40 is taken out from the compartment 28 or before the box 40 is inserted into the compartment 28 (see FIGS. 2 (e) and 2 (b)), the box 40 is placed on the top surface of the top plate 26 on the immediate side. (See FIG. 2 (f)), the drug storage 20 can be easily opened / closed, opened / closed, and the drug in the box can be easily checked.

  The box 40 (see FIG. 3) is a rectangular box formed in a rectangular parallelepiped shape whose outer shape is slightly smaller than the compartment 28 so as to enter the compartment 28 in a state where the drug 44 is contained and closed. In addition, one or more narcotics 44 to be stored can be accommodated in the inner bottom of the deeper accommodating portion 42 (up to 10 ampoules containing ampoules in the illustrated example). When the box 40 is stored in the compartment 28, the outer surface of the box 40 that comes to the upper side and is exposed at the narcotic doorway (the surface corresponding to the connecting portion between the lid portion 41 and the storage portion 42 in the illustrated example) Outer box identification codes 43 are assigned among the box identification codes allocated inside and outside (see FIGS. 3A and 3B). When such a box identification code 43 is read, it indicates that the box 40 is closed in addition to the box 40 being within the imaging range of the imaging device 13.

  Further, (see FIGS. 3 (c) to 3 (e)), the inside of the lid portion 41, which is a typical example of the portion exposed when the box 40 is opened, is among the box identification codes allocated to the inside and outside of the box 40. An inner box identification code 45 is attached. The narcotic 44 is checked and put in and out with the lid 41 turned upside down and the accommodating portion 42 opened widely. When the box identification code 45 exposed in this state is read, the box 40 is moved to the imaging device 13. It is also shown that the box 40 is open in addition to being within the shooting range. In the illustrated example, only one box identification code 43 is attached to the outer surface of the box 40 and only one box identification code 45 is attached to the inner surface of the box 40. There may be a plurality of codes 45 in one box 40.

  Further (see FIGS. 3D and 3E), the narcotic accommodating portion in the accommodating portion 42 for accommodating the narcotic 44 in a state where the box 40 is opened (in the illustrated example, a partition, a dent, etc. in the inner bottom of the accommodating portion 42) Each division formed in (1) is given a drug identification code 46 assigned to the drug storage site. The place where the drug identification code 46 is attached to any drug storage site is hidden when the drug 44 is stored in the storage part 42 (see FIG. 4D), but is exposed when the drug 44 is taken out from the storage part 42. (See FIG. 4 (e)). Such a medicine identification code 46 is based on the premise that the box 40 of the addressee is open and the box identification code 45 can be read, that is, depending on whether or not the medicine identification code 46 can be read, It is to show.

Only one drug identification code 46 may be attached to each narcotic accommodating portion on the inner bottom of the accommodating portion 42 as long as the above-described conditions are satisfied. Further, when detecting and grasping the accommodation state of the narcotic 44 in the box 40, the number of drug identification codes 46 assigned to each narcotic accommodating part may be made the same. In order to grasp not only the number but also the individual positions, different code values may be assigned to the respective narcotic housing sites.
These box identification codes 43 and 45 and the medicine identification code 46 are all color bit codes, and the method of attaching the color bit code to the box 40 may be by direct printing, and the color bit code is printed. An indirect method such as attaching a seal may be used.

  The imaging device 13 (see FIGS. 1A and 1B) employs, for example, a CCD camera and is fixedly supported above the drug storage device 10 with the imaging direction tilted downward slightly from right below. When the door of the drug storage 20 is closed, the top surface of the top plate portion 26 is taken (see FIG. 1A), and when the door of the drug storage 20 is opened (see FIG. 1B). ) In addition to taking a picture of the entire area of the drug entrance / exit (the narcotics entrance / exit) of the storage space 27 of the drug storage 20 exposed by the exit of the top plate part 26, the ceiling that has exited beside the drug entry / exit of the storage space 27) The entire area of the upper surface of the plate portion 26 is continuously photographed. It is desirable that the imaging range of the imaging device 13 be able to capture the state of the pharmacist who opens and closes the drawer 29 in addition to the state of the pharmacist who takes in and out narcotics from the storage space 27. Since the box identification codes 43 and 45 and the medicine identification code 46 are printed with color bit codes, the imaging device 13 is capable of color imaging.

  The information processing apparatus 30 (see FIG. 1C) may be a computer, a digital signal processor, a single processor, a complex type, or a distributed type as long as it has a sufficient memory and a processor having a sufficient processing speed. As described above, it is attached to an appropriate part of the drug storage 20 or the like. An image recording program 32, a code reading program 34, an inventory management program 35, and a work support program 37 are installed in a program memory and the like, and image data 31, an image log 33, inventory data 36, and a work log 38 are taken out. Each data area for storing and holding the log 39 is secured in a rewritable memory such as a random access memory or a hard disk.

  The image data 31 is data of a photographed image obtained by taking the narcotic entrance / exit of the storage space 27 and the top surface of the top plate portion 26 from above with the imaging device 13, and is updated at a fixed cycle of, for example, several tens to several hundred ms It has come to be. The image data 31 has a data amount that can include a color bit code image in the entire range of the photographing region with a resolution suitable for reading. Specifically, the box identification code 43 attached to the upper surface of the box 40 stored in each compartment 28 of the storage space 27 is also the lid of the box 40 placed on the top plate portion 26 if it is open. The box identification code 45 attached to the inside of the portion 41 and the medicine identification code 46 attached to each narcotic accommodating portion of the accommodating portion 42 in the open state are also stored and held with a resolution capable of reading the color bit code. It is like that.

The image recording program 32 records and accumulates all or part of the image data 31 appropriately extracted in accordance with the initial setting of the recording mode in a time series together with a time stamp. When the image log 33 is full, it is deleted and reused in order from the oldest data. When extracting appropriately, the details are omitted, but only when a trigger is received from another program, It is designed to record movies.
The image log 33 can be reproduced for later visual confirmation or the like.

  The code reading program 34 cuts out a color bit code image from the image data 31 and reads the color bit code. The code can be read by a conventional method (see, for example, Patent Documents 5 and 6), but obtained by reading. As the code information, not only the code value but also the code position is obtained. The identification code includes, as described above, box identification codes 43 and 45 allocated inside and outside the box 40 capable of storing each narcotic 44 to be stored, and a drug identification code allocated to each narcotic storage site in the box 40. 46, and their code values are unique values for identification. The code position is the position of the color bit code image in the data area of the image data 31, or the position converted into the position in the imaging area of the imaging device 13, that is, the position of each compartment 28 or the position outside the storage space 27. It is.

Further, the code reading program 34 reads the code information of the dispenser ID and the prescription ID in addition to the identification codes 43, 45, 46 related to the box 40 and the narcotic 44 described above, if included in the image data 31. It has become. The dispenser ID is printed with a color bit code on the employee card provided to each dispenser, and the prescription ID is typically a prescription number or a dispensing instruction number. Printed in bit code.
Among the code information read from the image data 31, the information of the identification codes 43, 45, 46 is sent from the code reading program 34 to the inventory management program 35, and the code information such as the dispenser ID and the prescription number is the work support program 37. To be sent out.

  The inventory management program 35 is responsible for the inventory management function related to the narcotic 44 stored in the drug storage 20 by updating the inventory data 36 according to whether or not the above-described code can be read. Determines whether the box 40 is opened or closed according to whether or not the box identification codes 43 and 45 assigned to the inside and outside of the box can be read, and determines whether or not the drug identification code 46 assigned to the narcotic container in the box 40 can be read. Accordingly, the storage state of the narcotic 44 in the box 40 is detected, the corresponding item of the inventory data 36 is rewritten as needed, and the detection work support program 37 is notified at every node such as when the situation changes in the box 40 or the narcotic 44. It is supposed to be.

  The identification codes 43, 45, and 46 may be randomly assigned if they can be identified and registered in the correspondence table or the like so that the correspondence between the box, its inside and outside, and the drug storage site can be understood. In this example, an identification code is allocated and attached to the repeatedly used box 40 so that the correspondence relationship can be understood without a correspondence table or the like. Furthermore, after all the identification codes 43, 45, 46 are combined with the main number and the branch number, a different serial number is assigned to each box 40 for the main number and the identification codes 43, 45, The same common number is adopted as the main number 46, and the branch number is assigned to the box identification code 43, the box identification code 45, and each medicine identification code 46 related to the same box 40, and the branch number is assigned. This is the same for all boxes 40.

  The inventory data 36 (see FIG. 4) holds data for each box 40 based on such allocation of identification codes, and each record has a box identification code attached to the corresponding box 40. Code values relating to the main numbers 43, 45, 46, drug names of drugs contained in the box 40, presence / absence of a box indicating whether or not the box 40 is within the imaging range of the imaging device 13, and A box position indicating where the box 40 is present in the compartment 28, the top plate portion 26, etc., a box opening / closing state indicating the open / closed state of the box 40 determined according to whether the box identification code 45 can be read, Data items such as the presence / absence of a drug (from the first to the tenth in the illustrated example) indicating the presence / absence of a drug in the narcotic accommodating part are held. Among these data items, the value of the box identification code and the medicine name are set in advance by initial setting or additional registration, but other data items are written by the inventory management program 35.

  The inventory management program 35 updates the corresponding item of the corresponding record of the inventory data 36 based on the above-described allocation of the identification codes 43, 45, and 46 and the addition to the box 40. Specifically, The presence / absence of the box is set to “present” for the record corresponding to the read box identification code 43, 45, but the presence / absence of the box is set to “none” for the record corresponding to the box identification code 43, 45 that could not be read. In addition, for the record indicating whether the box is present or not, if the code positions of the box identification codes 43 and 45 can be acquired, the position information is written in the box position. If the position indicated by this information is within the storage space 27, it is determined that the corresponding box 40 is stored in any of the compartments 28, and the number of the compartment 28 is also added to the box position. If the position indicated by the position information of the box position is out of the storage space 27, it is determined that the corresponding box 40 is out of the storage space 27, and that fact is additionally written in the box position. Yes.

  In addition, when the box identification code 43 of the box identification codes 43 and 45 is read, the inventory management program 35 sets the box opening / closing of the data item of the corresponding record to “closed”, and the box of the box identification codes 43 and 45 When the identification code 45 is read, the box opening / closing of the data items of the corresponding record is set to the “open state”. In addition, for the record of the box opening / closing “open state”, “none” is written in the place where the medicine identification code 46 can be read for each of the plurality of narcotics containing parts in the data item, and the medicine identification code 46 can be read. Write “Yes” where there was not. By counting the data items of such drug storage sites “present”, the number of drugs 44 stored in the corresponding box 40 can be determined, but the box 40 with the lid portion 41 not open cannot be loaded and unloaded. Of the data items, the records are not updated for records where the box opening / closing is not “open”.

  The work support program 37 (see FIGS. 5 to 11) displays work items such as warehousing / dispensing / returning / going out / ending which can be selected by the dispenser in the work item display area 51 of the display device 12 (see FIG. 5). ) The work content is determined in accordance with the selection, notification from the inventory management program 35, etc., and an appropriate work guide is displayed in the work guide display area 52 of the display device 12 to prompt the dispenser to perform the work. The progress status, warnings, and the like are displayed on the display area 53 of the display device 12 to notify the dispenser of the status. At that time, a list of medicine names is displayed (see FIG. 5A), a corresponding one of the compartments 28 is illustrated (see FIG. 5B), or a lot of information is displayed. Twelve list display areas 54 are used so that they can be scrolled or highlighted with blinking or color as necessary.

The processing contents of the work support program 37 will be described in detail below with reference to the flowchart. However, since it is sufficient to explain the normal process for understanding and implementing the present invention, the selection instruction and the guidance display of the work support program 37 are ignored. The explanation of the abnormal processing caused by the disorderly working action, the alarm output caused by the disturbing action such as disturbing the photographing of the imaging device 13, the interruption of the process, the exception handling caused by the failure, etc. will be omitted.
The main work that the work support program 37 is in charge of is the four items of warehousing / withdrawing / returning / shipping, and the work support processing related to these work items is performed by the dispensing person operating the input device 11 of the touch panel. The process is started in accordance with the selection of an item and the unlocking of both the locks 23 and 24 performed by the dispenser by operating two types of keys.

  That is, (see FIG. 6), in the initial state / basic state in which the door 20 of the drug storage 20 is closed and locked (A), the work support program 37 detects the detection result of the lock sensor 14 and the input result of the input device 11. Based on the above, it is checked whether the locks 23 and 24 are unlocked or one of the work items in the work item display area 51 of the display device 12 is selected (step S61), and unlocking and item selection are performed. If not, it waits for it to be performed (No), but if unlocking or item selection has been performed (Yes), the dispenser ID is displayed to the dispenser on the display of the work guidance display area 52 of the display device 12 or the like. An input is obtained (step S62). Then, it waits for the input of the dispenser ID (No in step S63), and accepts the dispenser ID, whether it is input from the input device 11 or read by the imaging device 13 and the code reading program 34. It is like that.

  And if dispenser ID can be acquired (Yes of step S63), when it has not been unlocked yet (No of step S64), it will be unlocked to a dispenser by the display of the work guidance display area 52 of the display apparatus 12, etc. (Step S65), and if the selection of the work item has not been completed yet (No in Step S66), the dispenser is prompted to select the work item by displaying the work guide display area 52 of the display device 12 ( When the selection of the work item is completed (step S67), the corresponding work item is processed according to the selection. That is, in the work support program 37, the work support processing content is divided according to which of the four items of warehousing / dispensing / returning / shipping is selected by the dispenser (B, C, D, E). ).

  First (see FIG. 7), when warehousing is selected from the four work items (B), the work support program 37 displays a selectable medicine name and prompts the dispenser to select (step S71). At that time (see FIG. 5A), guidance for prompting selection is displayed in the work guidance display area 52 of the display device 12, and drug names are displayed in a list in the list display area 54 of the display device 12 so that they can be selected. Scrolling is also performed if it cannot be displayed. Since the medicines to be received are all medicines registered in the inventory data 36, the work support program 37 accesses all the records of the inventory data 36, collects the names of medicines, and makes them display and selection targets. ing.

  Then (step S72), whether the end of the work items in the work item display area 51 of the display device 12 is selected by the operation of the input device 11, or whether the locks 23 and 24 are locked by the key operation, When either or both of these are performed, the warehousing work support process is finished here, and the process shifts to a work support end process common to each work support (Yes in step S72, F in FIG. 8). Otherwise, the warehousing work support process is continued (No in step S72 in FIG. 7). Then, after waiting for the medicine name to be selected or input by the operation of the input device 11 (No in Step S73), the medicine name of the drug 44 to be stored can be acquired (Yes in Step S73). In addition, the layout of the compartments 28 in the storage space 27 is displayed in the list display area 54 of the display device 12, and the compartments 28 that are candidates for the warehousing destination are highlighted and highlighted. (Step S74).

The candidates for the storage destination are an empty compartment 28 in which the box 40 is not accommodated and a compartment 40 in which the drug name of the drug 44 matches the box 40 that is not yet full. 28, and the work support program 37 displays the two in a distinguishable manner.
Even after this guidance is displayed (step S75), when the end selection or locking is performed, the warehousing work support process is finished and the process shifts to the work support end process (Yes in step S75, F in FIG. 8). The warehousing work support process is continued (No in step S75 in FIG. 7), waits for the stock data of the corresponding medicine to be updated (No in step S76), and when the update is performed (Yes in step S76), After the warehousing work support process for the corresponding medicine is completed, the warehousing work support process is repeated from the beginning (B).

  As described above, the update of the inventory data 36 is performed by the inventory management program 35 so as to follow the actual work of the dispenser. At the time of the update, the inventory management program 35 notifies the work support program 37. When the support program 37 receives a notification from the inventory management program 35, the support program 37 searches the inventory data 36 for the corresponding drug, that is, the drug 44 that has been acquired as a warehousing target, and changes to the inventory quantity. By checking whether or not there is, the presence or absence of update of the stock data of the corresponding medicine is determined. Here, when a little mention is made of the abnormal processing, the stock should increase when warehousing, but when it decreases or when the stock is updated only outside the target, the content of the abnormality is recorded in the work log 38 and the image recording program 32. To request image recording to the image log 33.

  Next (see FIG. 9), when payout is selected from the four work items (C), the work support program 37 tries to acquire prescription information (step S91). Specifically, while prompting the dispenser to present a prescription or a dispensing instruction using the work guidance display area 52 of the display device 12, the prescription information itself such as the drug name or the prescription amount, the prescription number or the dispensing instruction number, etc. Whether the clue to the prescription information is input by the operation of the input device 11 or delivered as a result of the code reading from the code reading program 34, wait until the time-out or the payout work support process is terminated by the end selection or locking, When a prescription number or the like can be acquired, the corresponding detailed prescription information is acquired by an inquiry to the prescription management device 15 or the like.

  When prescription information cannot be acquired, all drugs registered in the inventory data 36 are selected as selectable drugs (No in step S92), but when prescription information is acquired (Yes in step S92), the prescription information is selected. The selectable medicines are limited to only the narcotic 44 prescribed based on (Step S93). After the selectable medicine is determined, the same processing as the above-described warehousing work support processing is performed except for one point (steps (S71) to (S76) in FIG. 9). The difference is that when the stock data of the corresponding medicine is updated (Yes in step (S76)), the payout work support process is not finished immediately, but the change in the stock quantity of the corresponding medicine is taken as take-out information. The point is that the log is added to the take-out log 39 in preparation for later return (step S94). After adding the take-out information to the take-out log 39, the payout work support process for the corresponding medicine is finished, and the payout work support process is repeated (C).

  When the return is selected from the four work items (D) (see FIG. 10), the work support program 37 tries to acquire prescription information in the same manner as when paying out (step S101). When the information can be acquired (Yes in step S102), the medicine that is a prescription target is grasped based on the prescription information, and the take-out information related to the medicine is searched by searching the work log 38 (step S103). When the carry-out information can be acquired (Yes in step S104), the selectable medicines are limited to the narcotics 44 that have been taken out based on the carry-out information (step S105). On the other hand, when prescription information and take-out information cannot be acquired (No in step S102, No in S104), all medicines registered in the inventory data 36 are selected as selectable medicines.

  When a selectable medicine is determined, the same process as the warehousing work support process described above is performed except for one point (steps (S71) to (S76) in FIG. 10). The difference is that when the stock data of the corresponding medicine is updated (Yes in step (S76)), the return work support process is not finished immediately, but the actual return quantity that appears as a change in the stock quantity of the corresponding medicine. And the corresponding take-out information are checked to check whether there is an excess or deficiency, and this is added to the take-out log 39 (step S106). After carrying out bring-out information collation and taking-out log addition, the return work support process for the corresponding medicine is finished, and the return work support process for other medicines is repeated (D).

  Furthermore (see FIG. 11), when the delivery is selected from the four work items (E), the work support program 37 tries to obtain the reason for the delivery (steps S111 to S113). Specifically, some selectable reasons for delivery that are set as candidates in advance are displayed in the list display area 54 of the display device 12, and the work guide display area 52 of the display device 12 is used for delivery to the dispenser. The user is prompted to select or input a reason (step S111). Then, if the end selection or locking is performed, the exit work support process is finished and the process proceeds to the work support end process (Yes in step S112). Otherwise (No in step S112), the operation of the input device 11 is performed. It waits for any one of the display candidates to be selected or for the other reason for leaving to be entered by character input or the like (No in step S113).

  Then, when the work support program 37 can acquire the reason for leaving (Yes in step S113), the reason for leaving is added to the takeout log 39 (step S114), and the total amount stored in the storage space 27 is also added. Since all narcotics 44 can be targeted for delivery, all medicines in storage are selected as selectable medicines. After the selectable medicine is determined, the same processing as the above-described warehousing work support processing is performed (steps (S71) to (S76) in FIG. 11). However, after the stock data of the corresponding medicine is updated and the exit work support process is completed (Yes in Step (S76)), the return work support process related to other medicines is repeated instead of the entry work support process. (E).

  Finally, the work support program 37 ends the warehousing work support process and proceeds to the work support end process when the end selection or locking is performed during the warehousing work support process as described above (step S72 in FIG. 7). This is common to the work support processing related to the remaining payout, return and delivery of the four work items (steps (S72) and (S75) in FIGS. 9, 10, and 11). Then, the work support program 37 (see FIG. 8) transitions to the work support end process (F), and requests the dispenser to input the dispenser ID using the work guidance display area 52 of the display device 12 (step S81). ) Wait until time-out until the dispenser ID is obtained from the input device 11 or the code reading program 34 (steps S82 and S83). When the dispenser ID can be obtained, it is obtained at the start of the work support process. Check whether they are the same, add the work result to the work log 38, and cause the printer 16 to print the form defined by the rules, etc., so that the work support process related to the selected work item is completed. It has become.

  About the drug storage apparatus 10 of this Example 1, the use aspect and operation | movement are demonstrated referring drawings. 1A is an external perspective view of the drug storage 20 with the door closed, and FIG. 1B is an external perspective view of the drug storage 2 with the door open. 2 is an external perspective view in which (e) is taking out the box 40 from the compartment 28, and (f) is an external perspective view in which the taken out box 40 is opened on the top plate portion 26. FIG. is there. 3 (b) is a front view, right side view, rear view and bottom view of the closed box 40, FIG. 3 (c) is an external perspective view of the box 40 fully opened, and FIG. It is a top view of the box 40 of the fully open state accommodated fully.

  In this drug storage device 10 (see FIG. 1 (a)), if the pharmacist stores the drug 44 in the storage space 27 of the drug storage 20 and then closes the door 22 + 26, the drug storage device 10 stores the drug. If the narcotic entrance / exit of the storage space 27 of the storage 20 is covered with the top plate portion 26 and the dispenser locks the locks 23 and 24 by operating the keys, those who are not authorized to handle the keys will receive the storage space 27. Since the narcotic 44 cannot be taken in and out, the narcotic 44 is stored safely and the top plate 26 and its surroundings are photographed by the imaging device 13, so that the narcotic 44 is not left without any trace. The inventory never changes. Moreover, in this state, neither the work support process by the information processing apparatus 30 nor the update of the inventory data 36 is performed.

  When the pharmacist decides to move the drug 44 into and out of the drug storage 20 from such a storage state without movement, the pharmacist operates the key to unlock the locks 23 and 24. The handle 25 is operated to open the door body 22 + 26 of the drug storage 20 (see FIG. 1B), and the four work items displayed in the work item display area 51 of the display device 12, that is, warehousing / dispensing / returning. -Dispensing person selects one of goods delivery by touch panel operation (refer Fig.5 (a)). Either of these unlocking and work item selection may be performed first or at the same time, but if either one is performed, the information processing device 30 asks the dispenser to input the dispenser ID on the display of the display device 12 or the like. Therefore, the dispenser places the card or the like on which the dispenser ID is printed with the color bit code in a state where the printing surface faces upward and places it within the photographing range of the imaging device 13 such as the top surface of the top plate portion 26.

Then, the card is taken by the imaging device 13, the color bit code is read by the code reading program 34 of the information processing device 30, and the dispenser ID indicated by the code value is delivered to the work support program 37. The presence or absence of authority to dispense the narcotic 44 is confirmed. When the authority is confirmed, a display prompting unlocking is displayed on the display device 12 by the information processing apparatus 30 if unlocking has not yet been performed, and a display prompting selection of a work item if no work item has been selected yet. Is output to the display device 12 by the information processing device 30, and the dispenser who is prompted by the guidance display finishes both actions.
Hereinafter, the contents of the work performed by the dispenser will be described in four cases according to whether the contents are entry, withdrawal, return, or delivery.

  First, in the case of warehousing, the dispenser selects warehousing when selecting a work item in the work item display area 51. Then, the information processing device 30 displays a list of selectable medicine names in the list display area 54 of the display device 12. In the case of warehousing, all drugs 44 are candidates for warehousing, and all drug names registered in the inventory data 36 are displayed as selectable drug names. Select a name. Then, this time, the information processing device 30 displays the list display area 54 of the display device 12 (see FIG. 5B), the compartment 28 in which the box 40 that can additionally store the corresponding narcotic 44 is stored, and the corresponding The position of the empty compartment 28 in which the currently unstored box 40 that newly stores the narcotic 44 to be stored can be additionally stored is displayed.

  The dispenser looks at the guidance display and decides whether to store the narcotic 44 in the already-stored box 40 or to store the narcotic 44 in the un-stored box 40. The box 40 is taken out from the storage space 27 (see FIG. 2 (e)). In the latter case, an appropriate unstored box 40 is taken out from the stock outside the apparatus (not shown), and in any case, the box 40 is removed from the top plate. The lid part 41 of the box 40 is opened after being placed on the part 26 (see FIG. 2 (f)), and the narcotic 44 to be stored is accommodated in the accommodating part 42 of the box 40 (see FIGS. 3 (c) and 3 (d)). When the storage is completed, the lid portion 41 of the box 40 is closed (see FIG. 3B), and the box 40 is displayed in the list display area 54 of the display device 12 in any one of the compartments 28. Store in crab.

  Then, during the warehousing operation, the inventory management program 35 of the information processing device 30 reads from the storage space 27 associated with the warehousing target box 40 based on the reading of the identification codes 43, 45, 46 associated with the warehousing target box 40. Take-out, opening / closing on the top plate portion 26 and accommodation of the narcotic 44 in the open state are automatically detected, and the inventory data 36 is automatically updated in accordance with the detection result. In the information processing apparatus 30, when the stock data 36 is updated, the stock management program 35 notifies the work support program 37 of the fact, and the work support program 37 automatically determines whether the stock update of the corresponding medicine is performed. Checked.

  In this way, when the pharmacist performs the warehousing operation easily and accurately while viewing the guidance display, the inventory data 36 is automatically updated accordingly, and for careful confirmation, the display device 12 displays again. Since the information processing device 30 requests the dispenser to input the dispenser ID, the dispenser places the card or the like on which the dispenser ID is printed with the color bit code with the printing surface facing upward. Or the like within the imaging range of the imaging device 13. If the dispenser ID card or the like is left on the top plate 26, it is left as it is.

  Then, the card is taken by the imaging device 13, the color bit code is read by the code reading program 34 of the information processing device 30, and the dispenser ID indicated by the code value is delivered to the work support program 37. The work support program 37 reconfirms whether or not there is an authority to dispense the narcotic 44, and also checks whether the dispenser ID read this time matches the dispenser ID read at the start of warehousing. Then, the work support program 37 automatically adds the work contents to the work log 38 and prints the form on the printer 16.

  When one warehousing operation is completed in this manner, the information processing device 30 uses the display in the work guidance display area 52 of the display device 12 to display the warehousing guidance for the other narcotics 44. If other narcotics 44 remain, the above warehousing operation is repeated. And about the narcotic 44 for warehousing, if all the warehousing work is completed, the pharmacist selects the end by the touch panel operation. Then, in response to the end selection, the information processing apparatus 30 returns to the process at the start of work such as confirmation of unlocking and selection of work items, and repeats the automatic process from the beginning.

  Next, in the case of payout, the dispenser selects payout when selecting a work item in the work item display area 51. Then, since the information processing device 30 is required to present a prescription or a dispensing instruction to the dispenser using the display of the work guide display area 52 of the display device 12, the dispenser can prescription or dispense if possible. The imaging device 13 is caused to take an identification number printed with a color bit code on the instruction note, or a prescription number or other detailed prescription information is input via the input device 11.

  Accordingly, if the information processing apparatus 30 can acquire the prescription information, the selectable medicines are limited to the prescription. Otherwise, all the medicine names registered in the inventory data 36 are set as selectable medicine names. Since the selectable medicine names are displayed on the display device 12 by the information processing device 30, a detailed description that will be repeated will be omitted. However, as in the case of warehousing described above, the dispenser The payout operation proceeds while viewing the guidance display. The payout work is different from the warehousing work in that the drug 44 is not put into the storage space 27 of the drug storage 20 but the drug 44 is taken out from the storage space 27 of the drug storage 20 and further from the box 40.

  Then, during the payout operation, the inventory management program 35 of the information processing device 30 stores the storage related to the payout target box 40 based on the reading of the identification code 43, 45, 46 related to the payout target drug 44 and the box 40. Taking out from the space 27, opening and closing on the top plate portion 26, and taking out the narcotic 44 in the open state are automatically detected, and the inventory data 36 is automatically updated according to the detection result. In the information processing apparatus 30, when the stock data 36 is updated, the stock management program 35 notifies the work support program 37 of the fact, and the work support program 37 automatically determines whether the stock update of the corresponding medicine is performed. Checked.

Thus, when the dispenser performs the dispensing operation easily and accurately while looking at the guidance display, the information processing apparatus 30 automatically updates the inventory data 36 accordingly, and the narcotic 44 taken out in the present dispensing operation. Is automatically added to the export log 39. Further, the above-described re-dispenser ID is confirmed again, and the work support program 37 automatically adds the work contents to the work log 38 and prints the form on the printer 16.
When one payout operation is completed, payout guidance for another narcotic 44 is also issued, and the dispenser repeats the above-described operation if necessary, and selects completion on the touch panel when all the payouts are completed. Then, also in this case, according to the end selection, the information processing apparatus 30 returns to the process at the start of work such as confirmation of unlocking and selection of work items, and repeats the automatic process from the beginning.

  In the case of return, the dispenser selects return when selecting a work item in the work item display area 51. Then, the information processing device 30 uses the display of the work guide display area 52 of the display device 12 to request the dispenser to present a prescription or a dispensing instruction, as in the case of payout. For example, the imaging device 13 can take an identification number printed with a color bit code on the prescription or dispensing instruction used at the time of dispensing, or the prescription number or other detailed prescription information can be input by operating the input device 11 To do.

  Accordingly, if the information processing apparatus 30 can acquire the prescription information and can search for the corresponding take-out information from the take-out log 39, the selectable medicine is limited to the narcotic 44 that has been taken out, otherwise the inventory data 36 The names of all drugs registered in the list are set as selectable drug names, and in any case, the selectable drug names are displayed on the display device 12 by the information processing apparatus 30. Although omitted, as in the case of warehousing and dispensing described above, the dispenser proceeds with the return work while viewing the guidance display by the information processing device 30. The difference between the return work and the payout work is that the drug 44 is not taken out from the storage space 27 or the box 40 of the drug storage 20 but is taken out at the time of the previous payout but has not been used and returned and stored again. The narcotic 44 is stored in the box 40 and stored in the storage space 27.

  Then, also during the return work, the inventory management program 35 of the information processing device 30 relates to the return target box 40 based on the reading of the identification code 43, 45, 46 related to the return target drug 44 or the box 40. The loading / unloading of the storage space 27, the opening / closing of the box on the top plate 26, and the storage of the narcotic 44 in the open state are automatically detected, and the inventory data 36 is automatically updated according to the detection result. In the information processing apparatus 30, when the stock data 36 is updated, the stock management program 35 notifies the work support program 37 of the fact, and the work support program 37 automatically determines whether the stock update of the corresponding medicine is performed. Checked.

In this way, when the dispenser performs the return work easily and accurately while viewing the guidance display, the information processing apparatus 30 automatically updates the inventory data 36 accordingly and returns it to re-storage in the current return work. Data on the narcotic 44 is automatically added to the takeout log 39. Further, the above-described re-dispenser ID is confirmed again, and the work support program 37 automatically adds the work contents to the work log 38 and prints the form on the printer 16.
When one return operation is completed, return guidance for the other narcotics 44 is also issued, so that the dispenser repeats the above-described operation if necessary, and selects the end on the touch panel when all the returns are completed. Then, also in this case, according to the end selection, the information processing apparatus 30 returns to the process at the start of work such as confirmation of unlocking and selection of work items, and repeats the automatic process from the beginning.

  Further, in the case of delivery, the dispenser selects delivery when selecting a work item in the work item display area 51. Then, the information processing device 30 uses the display of the work guide display area 52 and the list display area 54 of the display device 12 to request the dispenser to select or input the reason for leaving, so that the dispenser can display the list display area 54.
