In FIG. 1, a configuration in which two charging units 31 and 32 are provided in the powder supply unit 3 is illustrated, but the number of charging units is arbitrary.

[Hand-spreading unit 4]
In the hand-spreading unit 4, the pharmacist hands the tablets that are not suitable for management in the tablet cassettes 21 and 22 because of special management such as storage in a cold place or infrequent prescription. It is used to distribute to each package in the work. FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing the appearance of the medicine tray included in the hand-spraying unit 4. As shown in FIG. 3, the medicine tray of the hand-spreading unit 4 includes a plurality of cells 41 divided in a matrix. The pharmacist dispenses a single dose of the drug into one cell 41.

In the hand-spraying unit 4 illustrated in FIG. 3, a total of 48 cells 41 are provided in 6 rows and 8 columns. Hereinafter, when each of the cells 41 is described separately, the reference numerals 41 ₀₁ to 41 ₄₈ are used. In FIG. 3, for the sake of simplification of the illustration, only a part of reference numerals 41 ₀₁ to ₄₁₄₈ is shown. In the present embodiment, the number of cells 41 in the drug tray is 48, but the number of cells is not limited to this example and is arbitrary.

When the pharmacist completed the hand-spraying of the drug to the cell 41 according to the prescription data, another pharmacist or hand-spreading was performed to check whether or not the drug was correctly dispensed according to the dosage and administration specified in the prescription data. It will be inspected by the pharmacist himself.

Each bottom surface of the cell 41 is configured to open and close individually. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the hand-spraying unit 4 includes a cell opening / closing control unit 44 for individually controlling the opening / closing of the bottom surface of the cell 41. The cell open / close control unit 44 is interlocked with the package processing control unit 51 of the package unit 5. When the bottom surface of the cell 41 is opened, the drug in the cell 41 is sent out to the packaging unit 5. The opening and closing of the bottom surface of the cell 41 and the operation of the packaging unit 5 are linked. That is, after the inspection is completed, the pharmacist operates the start button to start the packaging process, so that the bottom surfaces of the cells 41 are opened one by one, and the drugs in the cell 41 are sequentially sent to the packaging unit 5. .. The drug delivered to the packaging unit 5 is packaged one cell at a time in the packaging unit 5, as will be described later. As a result, the drugs charged into the cell 41 for each dose are individually packaged in the packaging unit 5.

In the hand-spraying unit 4, as shown in FIG. 3, an LED 42 is embedded in one side of the frame of each cell 41. The LED 42 can switch and display a plurality of colors. In order to control the display color of the LED 42, as shown in FIG. 2, the hand-spraying unit 4 includes an LED control unit 43. The LED control unit 43 controls the emission color of the LED 42 of the hand-spraying unit 4 in response to an instruction from the control unit 11 of the prescription control unit 1. The emission color control of the LED 42 by the LED control unit 43 will be described in detail later.

[Package unit 5]
The packaging unit 5 packages the medicines delivered from the tablet supply unit 2, the powder supply unit 3, and the hand-spreading unit 4. The packing paper is made of paper, cellophane, or the like, and the drug is sealed and packaged according to the dose of each dose by thermocompression bonding.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of a medicine package sheet 501 discharged from the package unit 5. As shown in FIG. 4, the drug package sheet 501 is formed in a state in which the drug packages 502 in which the drug is packaged in each dose are connected. Perforations 503 are formed between the medicine packages 502, and the medicine packages 502 can be individually separated along the perforations 503. In the example of FIG. 4, only the tablet is packaged, but only the powder can be packaged. It is also possible to enclose tablets and powders in the same medicine package. Although not shown in FIG. 4, various information such as the patient's name, facial photograph, drug name, usage / dose, etc. can be printed on the surface of the drug package 502.

In the drug packaging device 100, the order of the drug packages 502 in the drug package sheet 501 can be selected from two types, "continuous" and "repeated". When "Continuous" is selected, the drug package sheet 501 is formed so that the drug packages 502 at the same time of administration are continuous. When "Repeat" is selected, the medicine package sheet 501 is formed so that the medicine packages 502 for one day are arranged in the order of the time of administration. For example, if 5 days' worth of three types of doses, "after breakfast," "after lunch," and "after dinner," are prescribed, and "continuous" is selected, the "after breakfast" medicine package 502 will be displayed. The medicine package sheet 501 is formed in a state where five consecutive medicine packages 502 "after lunch" are followed by five consecutive "after dinner" drug packages 502, and then five drug packages 502 "after dinner" are continuous. On the other hand, when "repetition" is selected, the medicine package sheet 501 is formed in the order in which the set of "after breakfast", "after lunch", and "after dinner" is repeated for 5 days. The pharmacist can specify from the prescription control unit 1 whether to select "continuous" or "repeated".

[Barcode reader 6]
The barcode reader 6 reads a code for identifying a drug, and is a JAN code, RSS code, written on a tablet storage container (box, bottle, etc.) provided on a drug shelf of a pharmacy, a PTP sheet, or the like. Alternatively, it is a code reading means for reading a QR code (registered trademark), and is a portable terminal such as a PDA. The barcode reader 6 may be, for example, a conventionally well-known auxiliary device used by a pharmacist or the like when taking out a medicine from a storage. The auxiliary device is used when a pharmacist or the like takes out a medicine from a medicine shelf according to a prescription and manually dispenses the medicine. For example, the medicine is read from the JAN code written on the storage container, and the read medicine and the prescription are used. Match with the data.

The information read by the bar code reader 6 is input from the bar code reader 6 to the prescription control unit 1 by wireless communication. By using wireless communication in this way, the barcode reader 6 can be freely carried to the drug packaging device 100 or the drug shelf, and the tablet can be loaded into the tablet cassette 22 at any place. Will be. Of course, it is also conceivable that the barcode reader 6 is connected to the prescription control unit 1 by wire. When a plurality of drug packaging devices 100 are provided in the pharmacy, bar code readers 6 associated with each of the drug packaging devices 100 are individually provided.

[Hand-spraying work support screen]
Next, the function provided in the drug packaging device 100 to support the hand-spraying work will be described. In the drug packaging device 100, when the hand-spraying work is performed, the prescription control unit 1 and the hand-spreading unit 4 are interlocked with each other, and the hand-spraying work support screen is displayed on the monitor 13 of the prescription control unit 1 and the hand is displayed. In the sprinkling unit 4, the LED 42 lights up in order to guide which medicine should be put into which cell 41 of the medicine tray.

In the following, the prescription data shown in FIG. 5 will be described as being input to the drug packaging device 100. The prescription data shown in FIG. 5 is for prescribing four kinds of drugs four times a day. In addition, here, it is assumed that 15 days' worth is prescribed. Therefore, the total number of drug packages 502 packaged according to this prescription data is 60. Since the number of cells 41 of the hand-spreading unit 4 is 48, which is smaller than the number of medicine packages 502 to be packaged, two cycles of hand-spreading work are required in this case. That is, the prescription control unit 1 divides 48 drug packages using 48 cells in the first cycle, and packages the remaining 12 drug packages in the second cycle. , The hand-spreading unit 4, and the packaging unit 5 are interlocked. Further, in the following, it is assumed that "continuous" is selected as the order of the medicine packages 502 in the medicine package sheet 501. The specific numerical values shown here (type of drug, number of times of administration, number of prescription days, number of cells, etc.) are not limited to the present invention and can be changed as appropriate.

FIG. 6 is an initial screen 110 of the hand-spraying work support screen displayed on the monitor 13 of the prescription control unit 1 at the start of the hand-spreading work. The initial screen 110 is displayed on the monitor 13 by the control unit 11 when, for example, the control unit 11 detects that the prescription data acquired from the prescription input terminal 200 contains a drug that requires handing work. To.

As shown in FIG. 6, the hand-spraying work support screen includes a cell image area 111, a drug list area 112, a drug image area 113, and a dose display area 114. The cell image area 111 schematically represents a plurality of cells 41 of the medicine tray of the hand-spreading unit 4 corresponding to the actual cell arrangement. That is, in the cell image area 111, the same number (48) of cell portions 111c ₀₁ to 111c ₄₈ as the cell 41 of the hand-spreading unit 4 has the same number of matrices (6 rows) as the arrangement on the medicine tray of the hand-spreading unit 4. × 8 columns) are displayed. In FIG. 6, for the sake of simplification of illustration, only a part of the reference reference numerals of the cell portions 111c ₀₁ to 111c ₄₈ are shown. On the hand-spraying work support screen, the cell portion 111c ₀₁ in the cell image area corresponds to the cell ₄₁₀₁ of the hand-spreading unit 4. Similarly, the cell portions 111c ₀₂ to 111c ₄₈ correspond to the cells 41 ₀₂ to 41 ₄₈ of the hand-spreading unit 4.

On the initial screen 110, the cell portions 111c ₀₁ to 111c ₄₈ of the cell image area 111 are all displayed in the same color (for example, white), and nothing is displayed in each cell. Further, on the initial screen 110, nothing is displayed in the drug image area 113.

In the dose display area 114, only the dosing time is displayed on the initial screen 110 based on the prescription data. Here, each of the four doses per day is described as "1 minute when waking up", "2 minutes after breakfast", "3 minutes after lunch", and "4 minutes after dinner" in the dose display area 114. ing. Further, in the dose display area 114, the background color of the notation portion of "minute 1" is purple. Similarly, the background color of the notation portion of "minute 2" is yellow, the background color of the notation portion of "minute 3" is blue, and the background color of the notation portion of "minute 4" is red. The maximum number of doses (fractions) per day is 8 in this example, and the dose display area 114 is configured to be able to display "1 minute" to "8 minutes". In the prescription data shown in FIG. 5, since the dose is taken four times, nothing is displayed in the columns of "minute 5" to "minute 8". The number of colors to be used as the background color of each of "minute 1" to "minute 8" can be set in advance and registered in the storage unit 12.

In FIG. 6, for convenience, the color is expressed by the direction of the hatch line. That is, in FIG. 6, purple is represented as a hatching area with a diagonal line falling to the right, yellow is similarly a hatching area with a diagonal line rising to the right, blue is a hatching area with a horizontal line, and red is a hatching area with a vertical line. expressing.

The drug list area 112 includes a drug name column 112a, a total amount column 112b, a lock type image column 112c, and a cell pattern column 112d for each drug included in the prescription data. In the drug name column 112a, the drug name of each drug is extracted from the prescription data and displayed. In the total amount column 112b, the total number of tablets for one day of each drug is extracted from the prescription data and displayed. A lock-type image of each drug is displayed in the lock-type image column 112c. The image data of this lock-shaped image can be acquired from the drug master of the storage unit 12. The cell pattern column 112d is divided for each dosing time, and the number of tablets for each dosing time is displayed. In the cell pattern column 112d, the background color of the area displaying the number of tablets for each dosing time is associated with the same color as the background color of the notation portion of "minute 1" to "minute 4" in the dose display area 114. .. As will be described in detail later, the background color of the fraction (“minute 1” to “minute 4”) of the dose display area 114 and the background color of the cell pattern column 112d of the drug list area 112 for each time of administration are different from each other. It is associated with the emission color of the LED 42 of the sowing tray 4.

The pharmacist takes out the drug displayed in the drug list area 112 in advance from the storage or the like. When the pharmacist reads the barcode attached to the drug container or the like with the barcode reader 6, the barcode information read by the barcode reader 6 is transmitted to the prescription control unit 1. Based on the data read here, the control unit 11 of the prescription control unit 1 determines whether or not the drug in the container read by the barcode reader 6 matches any of the drugs on the prescription data.

When it is confirmed that they match, the control unit 11 switches the hand-spraying work support screen from the initial screen 110 to the selected drug correspondence screen 120. FIG. 7 is an example of the screen for responding to the selected drug, and in the initial screen 110 of FIG. 6, the drug “bbbb OD tablet 15 mg” displayed on the second line from the top of the drug list area 112 was selected. This is the later screen. On the selected drug correspondence screen 120, the drug is selected by displaying the background of the line of the selected drug in a color different from that of the other lines in the drug list area 112. For example, in the example of FIG. 7, the state in which "bbbb OD tablet 15 mg" in the second row from the top of the drug list region 112 is selected is schematically shown. The display mode in which the selected drug can be discriminated in the drug list region 112 is not limited to the mode in which the background color is different in this way, and can be any display mode.

As shown in FIG. 7, on the selected drug correspondence screen 120, an image of the selected drug “bbbb OD tablet 15 mg” is displayed in the drug image area 113. The image displayed in the drug image area 113 may be an image showing the appearance of the drug. That is, the image displayed in the drug image area 113 may be an illustration image of the drug or a photographic image obtained by photographing the actual drug. As described above, the illustration image and the photographic image of the drug are registered in the drug master of the storage unit 12. In the case of the illustration image, it is preferable that the characteristic shape of the drug is expressed so that the drug can be distinguished from other drugs. Examples of the characteristic shape of the drug include capsule / tablet distinction, presence / absence of score line, engraving, and the like. In the present embodiment, both the illustration image and the photographic image are registered in the drug master of the storage unit 12, and it is possible to select whether to display the illustration image or the photographic image. In the example of FIG. 7, the photographic image is selected and displayed, but it can be switched to the illustration image by clicking or touching the "illustration" tab in the drug image area 113.

When a drug is selected on the selected drug correspondence screen 120, the control unit 11 acquires an image of the selected drug by collating the drug master of the storage unit 12. At this time, if the control unit 11 determines that the illustration image and the photographic image of the selected drug are not registered in the drug master of the storage unit 12, for example, "the drug image is not registered in the drug master. It is preferable to output a message such as "" to the drug image area 113 or the like. Such a situation can occur, for example, at a time when information on a new drug has not yet been reflected in the drug master of the memory unit 12.

As shown in FIG. 7, it is preferable that the image displayed in the drug image region 113 also shows the size (diameter and thickness) of the tablet. The tablet size can be obtained from the drug master of the storage unit 12. In this way, the image of the selected drug is displayed in the drug image area 113, preferably together with the tablet size, so that the pharmacist can easily visually check whether or not the hand-sprayed drug matches the prescription. You can check.

Further, when a drug is selected, the control unit 11 displays the dose of the selected drug for each time of administration in the dose display area 114 based on the prescription data. In the example of FIG. 7, the dose of the selected drug "bbbb OD tablet 15 mg" is 1 tablet "after 2 minutes breakfast", 1 tablet "after 3 minutes lunch", and 1 tablet "after 4 minutes 4 dinner". It is displayed that there is.

Further, as shown in FIG. 7, on the selection drug correspondence screen 120, each of the cell portions 111c ₀₁ to 111c ₄₈ of the cell-selected drug “bbbb OD tablet 15 mg” image region 111 takes the selected drug. Depending on the time, the control unit 11 controls based on the prescription data so that it is displayed in the same color as the cell 41 of the hand-spreading unit 4. That is, in the case of "bbbb OD tablet 15 mg", as shown in FIG. 5, 0 tablets "at the time of waking up", 1 tablet "after breakfast", 1 tablet "after lunch", and 1 tablet "after dinner". The prescription data stipulates that you should take.

Therefore, the control unit 11 sends an instruction to the LED control unit 43 of the hand-spreading unit 4 to display the LED 42 of the cells 41 ₁₆ to 41 ₃₀ corresponding to 15 days “after breakfast” in yellow. Further, in the cell image area 111, the control unit 11 displays the frame of the cell units 111c ₁₆ to 111c ₃₀ corresponding to the cells 41 ₁₆ to 41 ₃₀ in yellow. Further, the control unit 11 displays the number of tablets “1” to be charged into the cells 41 ₁₆ to 41 ₃₀ in the frame of the cell units 111c ₁₆ to 111c ₃₀ .

Similarly, the control unit 11 sends an instruction to the LED control unit 43 of the hand-spreading unit 4 to display the LED 42 of the cells 41 ₃₁ to 41 ₄₅ corresponding to 15 days “after lunch” in blue. Further, in the cell image area 111, the control unit 11 displays the frame of the cell units 111c ₃₁ to 111c ₄₅ corresponding to the cells 41 ₃₁ to 41 ₄₅ in blue. Further, the control unit 11 displays the number of tablets “1” to be charged into the cells 41 ₃₁ to 41 ₄₅ in the frame of the cell units 111c ₃₁ to 111c ₄₅ .

Similarly, the control unit 11 sends an instruction to the LED control unit 43 of the hand-spreading unit 4 to display the LED 42 of the cells 41 ₄₆ to 41 ₄₈ corresponding to three days “after dinner” in red. Further, in the cell image area 111, the control unit 11 displays the frame of the cell units 111c ₄₆ to 111c ₄₈ corresponding to the cells 41 ₄₆ to 41 ₄₈ in red. Further, the control unit 11 displays the number of tablets “1” to be charged into the cells 41 ₄₆ to 41 ₄₈ in the frame of the cell units 111c ₄₆ to 111c ₄₈ .

On the other hand, cells 41 ₀₁ to 4115, which correspond to ₁₅ days of “when waking up”, are not subject to the injection of the selective drug “bbbb OD tablet 15 mg”. Therefore, in the cell image area 111, the control unit 11 displays the cell units 111c ₀₁ to 111c ₁₅ corresponding to these cells in a dark color such as black or gray. At this time, it is preferable to turn off the LED 42 for the cells 41 ₀₁ to 41 ₁₅ which are not the objects to be input.

As described above, on the selection drug correspondence screen 120, in the cell image region 111, the frame of the cell portion 111c corresponding to the cell 41 to which the selected drug “bbbb OD tablet 15 mg” should be injected indicates the corresponding dosing time. It is displayed in the representative color. This color is the same as the display color of the LED 42 of the corresponding cell 41. Further, on the selection drug correspondence screen 120, the number of tablets to be put into each cell is also displayed. As a result, the pharmacist may input the selected drug in the number specified in the selected drug compatible screen 120 into the cell 41 displayed in the same color while looking at the selected drug compatible screen 120. Therefore, it is possible to perform the work while visually confirming how many tablets should be put into which cell among the plurality of cells 41, and it is possible to prevent the occurrence of dispensing errors.

In this way, when the injection of "bbbb OD tablet 15 mg" into the required cell among the 48 cells 41 is completed, the pharmacist takes out the drug from the storage and puts it in the bar of the container of the other drug. Read the code with the barcode reader 6. As a result, another drug is selected, and the screen for responding to the selected drug for the drug is displayed.

For example, FIG. 8 shows a selection drug correspondence screen 130 displayed after the drug “aaaa capsule 0.75 μg” displayed on the first line of the drug list area 112 is selected. As shown in FIG. 5, this "aaaa capsule 0.75 μg" contains 1 tablet "at the time of waking up", 0 tablet "after breakfast", 0 tablet "after lunch", and 0 tablet "after dinner". Prescription data stipulates that it should be taken.

Therefore, the control unit 11 sends an instruction to the LED control unit 43 of the hand-spreading unit 4 to display the LED 42 of the cells 41 ₀₁ to 41 ₁₅ corresponding to 15 days of “when waking up” in purple. Further, in the cell image area 111, the control unit 11 displays the frame of the cell units 111c ₀₁ to 111c ₁₅ corresponding to the cells 41 ₀₁ to 41 ₁₅ in purple. Further, the control unit 11 displays the number of tablets “1” to be put into the cells 41 ₀₁ to 41 ₁₅ in the frame of the cell units 111c ₀₁ to 111c ₁₅ .

On the other hand, cells 41 ₁₆ to 41 ₃₀ , which correspond to 15 days of "after breakfast", cells 41 ₃₁ to 41 ₄₅ , which correspond to 15 days of "after lunch", and cells corresponding to 3 days of "after dinner". 41 ₄₆ to 41 ₄₈ are not the targets for the injection of the selective drug “aaaa capsule 0.75 μg”. Therefore, in the cell image area 111, the control unit 11 displays the cell units 111c ₁₆ to 111c ₄₈ corresponding to these cells in a dark color such as black or gray.

Further, on the screen for responding to the selected drug, the control unit 11 grays out (darkens) the line of this drug in the drug list area 112 for the “bbbb OD tablet 15 mg” that has been previously loaded. .. In this way, the drug for which the hand-spraying work has been completed is grayed out in the drug list area 112, so that the pharmacist can easily distinguish between the drug for which the hand-spreading work has been completed and the drug for which the hand-spraying work has not been completed. be able to.

When the hand-spraying work of all four types of drugs included in the prescription data is completed by the same procedure as above, the inspection is performed by another pharmacist or the pharmacist who performed the hand-spraying work. Inspection is a procedure to confirm that the drug is dispensed according to the prescription. When the inspection is completed, the pharmacist presses the packaging start button for starting the packaging process by the packaging unit 5. The packaging start button may be incorporated in the hand-spraying work support screen on the monitor 13, or may be provided in the operation panel of the drug packaging device 100.

When this packaging start button is pressed, the control unit 11 enables the monitor 13 to display the hand-spraying work support screen for the second cycle. That is, it is said that the screen transition to the hand-spraying work support screen in the second cycle is impossible before the packaging start button is pressed. This makes it possible to prevent the drug charged in the second cycle from being accidentally charged into the drug charged in the first cycle. Furthermore, after the hand-spraying work of one cycle is completed, the packaging start button is pressed, and the hand-spreading work support screen of the next cycle is displayed, the screen transition to the previous hand-spreading work support screen cannot be performed. It has become. As a result, for example, it is possible to prevent the drug in the first cycle from being accidentally added while the hand-spraying work in the first cycle is completed and the hand-spreading work in the second cycle is being performed.

Further, when the packaging start button is pressed, as described above, the bottom surfaces of cells 41 ₀₁ to 41 ₄₈ of the hand-spreading unit 4 are opened in this order, so that the medicines in cells 41 ₀₁ to 41 ₄₈ are packaged. One drug package is sent to the unit 5 and packaged in the package unit 5.

When the packaging processing of 48 medicine packages 502 is started in the packaging unit 5, the packaging processing control unit of the packaging unit 5 outputs a signal to the effect that the packaging processing of the first cycle is started. Send to 11. Upon receiving this signal, the control unit 11 displays the second cycle handing work support screen on the monitor 13 based on the prescription data. That is, by the hand-spraying work in the first cycle, a total of 48 for 15 days of "wake up", 15 days of "after breakfast", 15 days of "after lunch", and 3 days of "after dinner". Since the individual medicine packages 502 were separated, the remaining 12 days' worth of medicine "after dinner" is put into the cell 41 by the hand-spraying operation in the second cycle.

FIG. 9 shows a hand-spraying work support screen (selected drug correspondence screen 140) displayed on the monitor 13 in the hand-spraying work in the second cycle. FIG. 9 shows a state in which "bbbb OD tablet 15 mg" is selected as in FIG. 7. The selection drug correspondence screen 140 when "bbbb OD tablet 15mg" is selected in the second cycle of hand-spraying work is the same as the selection drug correspondence screen 120 shown in FIG. 7 except for the display of the cell image area 111. be. In the cell image area 111 of the selection drug correspondence screen 140, the frame of the cell portions 111c ₀₁ to 111c ₁₂ is displayed in red corresponding to "after dinner", and "1" is displayed as the number of tablets to be inserted. Further, on the selection drug correspondence screen 140 of FIG. 9, the message "It is a 2/2 sprinkling" is displayed at the lower left of the screen, indicating that the hand sprinkling work is the second cycle. On the other hand, on the selection drug correspondence screen 120 of FIG. 7, the message "1/2 sprinkling" indicating that the hand sprinkling work is the first cycle is displayed. As a result, the pharmacist can correctly grasp the progress of the hand-spraying work.

Here, the flow of the drug packaging process controlled by the control unit 11 will be described with reference to FIG. 10. FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing the main operation flow of the drug packaging process.
As shown in FIG. 10, when the control unit 11 acquires the prescription data (step S1), the control unit 11 displays the initial screen 110 of the hand-spraying work support screen on the monitor 13 based on the acquired prescription data (step S2). ..

Then, when the control unit 11 acquires the bar code information of the drug container read by the bar code reader 6 (step S3), the drug indicated by the bar code information matches the drug contained in the prescription data. It is determined whether or not to do so (step S4). If it is determined in step S4 that they do not match, an error is notified. If it is determined in step S4 that they match, the control unit 11 assumes that the drug indicated by the barcode information has been selected, and displays the selected drug correspondence screen for that drug on the monitor 13 (step S5). Further, in step S5, the control unit 11 sends an instruction to the LED control unit 43 of the hand-spraying unit 4, and the LED 42 of the cell 41 to which the selected drug should be charged is colored with a color determined for each dosing time. Display. In the selection drug correspondence screen, as described above, the cell portion 111c of the cell image area 111 is displayed in the same color as the display color of the LED 42 of the corresponding cell 41. Further, on the screen for responding to the selected drug, as described above, the cell portion 111c of the cell image region 111 displays the number of tablets to be inserted into the corresponding cell 41.

After that, the control of the control unit 11 returns to step S3, and the above processing is repeated.

If the control unit 11 detects that the packaging start button has been pressed in step S3, the control unit 11 instructs the packaging unit 5 to start the packaging process (step S6). ). Then, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the handing work of the next cycle exists based on the prescription data (step S7), and if the handing work of the next cycle exists, the next cycle. The hand-spraying work support screen corresponding to is displayed on the monitor 13 (step S8), and the process returns to step S3. If there is no manual handing work in the next cycle in step S7, the process ends.

As described above, in the first embodiment, the control unit 11 of the prescription control unit 1 displays the LED 42 of the cell 41 of the hand-spraying unit 4 in a different color for each administration time, and the hand-spraying work support screen of the monitor 13. Inside, a cell image area 111 corresponding to the actual arrangement of the cells 41 is displayed, and in this cell image area 111, the cell portion 111c to which the drug is to be charged is displayed in the same color as the corresponding cell 41. As a result, when prescribing a plurality of drugs, it is possible to work while confirming which cell of the plurality of cells 41 the respective drug should be put into.

Further, the control unit 11 displays the number of tablets to be put into the corresponding cell 41 in each cell unit 111c of the cell image region 111. This makes it possible to easily and surely confirm the number of tablets to be put into each cell 41.

Further, the control unit 11 displays an image of the drug to be hand-sprayed in the drug image area 113 in the hand-spraying work support screen. This makes it possible to more reliably collate the drug to be charged into the cell 41 with the drug taken out from the storage.

In the above specific example, it is assumed that "continuous" is selected as the order of the medicine packages 502 in the medicine package sheet 501. On the other hand, when "repetition" is selected as the order of the medicine packages 502 in the medicine package sheet 501, for example, the display mode of the cell image area 111 on the selection drug correspondence screen 120 shown in FIG. 7 is It will be as shown in FIG.

[Second Embodiment]
A second embodiment of the present invention will be described below. The same reference numerals will be added to the configurations having the same functions as those described in the first embodiment, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that the control unit 11 displays a packaged image on the hand-spraying work support screen. FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an embodiment in which the packaged image area 211 is displayed on the initial screen 210 of the hand-spraying work support screen according to the present embodiment. It should be noted that also in this second embodiment, the prescription data will be described assuming that the prescription data is the same as that shown in FIG. 5 in the first embodiment.

Similar to the initial screen 110 described in the first embodiment, the initial screen 210 is a screen that the control unit 11 displays on the monitor 13 based on the prescription data when the prescription data is input. Further, in the initial screen 210, as in the initial screen 110, none of the agents has been selected yet.

As shown in FIG. 12, the package image area 211 of the initial screen 210 is provided with a frame for each dosing time, and the total number of drugs to be added for each dosing time is shown in each frame by an image of the drug. It is to be displayed. In the example of FIG. 12, when "wake up", one tablet of "aaaa capsule 0.75 μg" and one tablet of "dddd soft capsule 200 mg" are prescribed, so that a total of two tablets are prescribed. An illustration image of these tablets is displayed in the column 211a of "when waking up". In addition, "after breakfast" is prescribed 1 tablet of "bbbb OD tablet 15 mg", 1 tablet of "cccc tablet 2.5 mg", and 1 tablet of "dddd soft capsule 200 mg", so a total of 3 tablets are prescribed. Illustration images of these tablets are displayed in the "after breakfast" column 211b of the package image area 211. The same applies to the “after lunch” column 211c and the “after dinner” column 211d of the packaged image area 211.

The illustration image of the tablet to be displayed in the packaged image area 211 can be acquired by the control unit 11 from the drug master or the like of the storage unit 12 based on the prescription data. Although an example of displaying an illustration image in the packaged image area 211 is shown here, a photographic image of the drug may be displayed instead of the illustration image. For tablets prescribed in units of 0.5 tablets or 0.25 tablets, an image (illustration image or photographic image) showing the state of being divided into 0.5 tablets or 0.25 tablets is shown above. It is preferable to register it in the drug master in advance and use it.

When the number of doses is large, the displayed contents are scrolled in the packaged image area 211 by clicking or touching the scroll button 211e displayed on the right side of the packaged image area 211 in FIG. 12. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 12, the prescription for 4 doses is displayed, but when the medication timing is 5 times or more, by clicking the scroll button 211e, the medication timing not displayed in FIG. 12 ( For example, the prescription content of "before going to bed" etc.) can be displayed.

If the number of tablets of the drug prescribed for each dose is too large to display the whole, a scroll button is provided in each frame of columns 211a to 211d of the package image area 211 to form a frame. It may be possible to scroll the display contents within.

As described above, by displaying the total number of drugs to be charged into the cell 41 at each time of administration in the package image area 211 by an image of the drug, there is an advantage that visual inspection becomes easy.

Further, when any drug is selected from the state where the initial screen 210 is displayed, the control unit 11 switches the display to the selected drug corresponding screen 220 as shown in FIG. In the example of FIG. 13, "bbbb OD tablet 15 mg" is selected. On the selection drug correspondence screen 220, as shown in FIG. 13, an image of only the selected drug “bbbb OD tablet 15 mg” is displayed in the packaged image area 211 for each dosing period. This makes it possible to easily confirm how many tablets should be put into each cell for each dosing period while one of the drugs is selected and the hand-spraying operation is performed.

When the "deselection" button 220a displayed at the lower right of the selection drug correspondence screen 220 shown in FIG. 13 is clicked or touched, the control unit 11 displays the display of the monitor 13 at the initial stage shown in FIG. Return to screen 210. This allows the pharmacist to check that the hand-spraying work has been completed at any time.

Further, in this way, when returning from the selected drug correspondence screen 220 to the initial screen 210, the control unit 11 displays a grayed out image of the drug for which the hand-spraying work has already been completed in the packaged image area 211. You may try to do it. This has the advantage that the pharmacist can easily check the progress of the hand-spraying work because the medicines that have been hand-sprayed and the medicines that have not been hand-sprayed are displayed in a distinctive manner.

In the above specific example, the illustration image of the tablet is displayed in the package image area 211, but when the photographic image of the tablet is registered in the drug master of the storage unit 12, the illustration image is replaced with the illustration image. A photographic image may be used for.

Further, on the initial screen 210 shown in FIG. 12, in a state where none of the drugs is selected in the drug list area 112, one of the dosing times is selected by a touch operation or the like on the columns 211a to 211d of the packaged image area 211. Then, the control unit 11 may display the dosing time correspondence screen 230 that displays the information of the medicine corresponding to the selected dosing time as shown in FIG.

On the dosing time correspondence screen 230, in the cell image area 111, only the cell portion 111c corresponding to the cell to which the medicine corresponding to the selected dosing time should be added is displayed in color. In addition, the total number of tablets of the drug prescribed for the time of administration is displayed in the cell portion 111c displayed in color. It should be noted that only one of the colored display of the cell corresponding to the selected dosing time and the display of the total number of tablets may be performed.

For example, the dosing time correspondence screen 230 shown in FIG. 14 is a screen when the “when waking up” column 211a is selected by touch operation in the initial screen 210 shown in FIG. 12. In the example of FIG. 14, in the packaged image area 211, the thick frame surrounding the selected “when waking up” column 211a indicates that this dosing time has been selected. However, the display mode is not limited to this, and for example, only the selected "when waking up" column 211a is highlighted in a conspicuous color, or the non-selected dosing time columns 211b to 211d are not displayed. It may be grayed out so that you can see that it is a selection.

In the example shown in FIG. 14, in the cell image region 111, the frames of the cell portions 111c ₀₁ to 111c ₁₅ to which the drug “at the time of waking up” should be charged are displayed in color (for example, purple). Then, in order to be distinguishable from this, the other cell portions 111c ₁₆ to 111c ₄₈ are displayed in a dark color such as black or gray.

Further, in the example shown in FIG. 14, the drugs prescribed for the selected “at the time of waking up” are 1 tablet of “aaaa capsule 0.75 μg” and 1 tablet of “dddd soft capsule 200 mg”, for a total of 2 tablets. Therefore, "2", which is the total number of tablets of the drug prescribed for "wake-up", is displayed in the cell portions 111c ₀₁ to 111c ₁₅ to which the "wake-up" drug should be charged.

In the drug list area 112, drugs that are not prescribed at the selected dosing time are preferably grayed out as shown in FIG.

In this way, when it is desired to confirm the prescription (type and total number of tablets) for each administration time after the hand-spraying work is completed or during the hand-spreading work, any drug is selected in the drug list area 112. In this state, it is only necessary to select a desired dosing time in the packaged image area 211 by a touch operation.

Further, when any drug is selected in the drug list area 112 on the dosing time correspondence screen 230, the display of the cell portions 111c ₀₁ to 111c ₁₅ in the cell image area 111 is switched, and only the number of administered tablets of the selected drug is displayed. It is preferable to be done. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 15, among the drugs prescribed for “when waking up”, “aaaa capsule 0.75 μg” was selected in the drug list region 112, so that the cells 111c ₀₁ to 111c ₁₅ were contained. The number of prescriptions for this drug, "1", is displayed. This makes it possible to easily visually confirm the number of prescriptions of a specific drug for each time of administration after the hand-spraying work is completed or during the hand-spreading work.

When any drug is selected in the drug list area 112 on the dosing time correspondence screen 230, only the image of the selected drug is highlighted or not selected in the packaged image area 211. The image of the drug may be grayed out.

As described above, in the second embodiment, the packaging image area 211 showing the total number of tablets prescribed for each of the administration times is displayed on the hand-spraying work support screen. Thereby, by performing the hand-spraying work while looking at the image in the packaged image area 211, it is possible to easily visually confirm the type and number of tablets to be charged for each administration time. It also has the advantage of facilitating inspection after the hand-spraying work is completed.

Further, when any of the dosing times is selected by a touch operation on the packaged image area 211, only the cell portion corresponding to the selected dosing time is displayed in color in the cell image area, and the dosing time is prescribed. The total number of tablets to be made is displayed in the cell section. As a result, the pharmacist who performs the hand-spraying work can easily confirm how many tablets should be administered to which cell at each time of administration.

It is also possible to modify the second embodiment as follows.

[Modification example]
In the modified example of the second embodiment, when any drug is selected from the drug list area 112 from the state where the initial screen 210 (see FIG. 12) is displayed, the control unit 11 shows in FIG. The display is switched to the selected drug correspondence screen 220. That is, when "bbbb OD tablet 15 mg" is selected in the state where the initial screen 210 shown in FIG. 12 is displayed, as shown in FIG. 16, on the selective drug correspondence screen 220, all included in the prescription data. Of the agents, only the image of the selected agent “bbbb OD tablet 15 mg” is highlighted in the packaged image region 211 (the portion marked with reference numeral 211H in FIG. 16). In FIG. 16, the highlighted portion (211H) in the packaged image area 211 is represented by hatching, but on the actual screen, the portion has a conspicuous background color such as yellow. The highlight is displayed by displaying with.

Therefore, according to the selection drug correspondence screen 220 of FIG. 16, it is possible to confirm the type and number of drugs to be prescribed for each of the timing of taking the drug at the time of waking up, after eating directly, after lunch, and after dinner. At the same time, the type and number of drugs currently being hand-sprayed are highlighted, so while checking the progress of the work, visually check the type and number of tablets to be added in the current hand-spreading work. It can be easily confirmed with.

Further, in this modification, when the pharmacist selects a drug to be hand-spread from the drug list area 112 and reads the barcode attached to the container or the like of the drug with the barcode reader 6, the control unit 11 When the drug selected in the drug list area 112 and the drug read by the barcode reader 6 match, a check mark is added to the image of the drug in the packaged image area 211 as shown in FIG. And display.

This check mark is displayed continuously even after another drug is selected in the drug list area 112. Therefore, if the hand-spraying work is performed correctly for all the drugs included in the prescription data, a check mark should be given to all the drugs at the completion of the work. This makes it possible to easily visually confirm whether or not there is any omission of the prescription.

[Third Embodiment]
The drug packaging device according to the third embodiment is the drug packaging device of the first embodiment or the second embodiment, and has enhanced functions related to barcode matching of hand-sprinkled drugs. That is, the drug packaging device according to the third embodiment has a "collation required mode" in which packaging cannot be started unless bar code collation is completed for all the hand-sprinkled drugs contained in the prescription data. is doing. Hereinafter, the operation of the drug packaging device according to the present embodiment will be described.

FIG. 18 is a flowchart showing an operation when the operation mode is the collation essential mode in the drug packaging device according to the third embodiment. As shown in FIG. 18, in the drug packaging device according to the third embodiment, when the control unit 11 acquires the barcode information of the drug container read by the barcode reader 6 (step S13), It is determined whether or not the drug indicated by the barcode information matches the drug contained in the prescription data (step S14). If it is determined in step S14 that they do not match, an error is notified. If it is determined in step S14 that they match, the control unit 11 assumes that the drug indicated by the barcode information has been selected, and displays the selected drug correspondence screen for that drug on the monitor 13 (step S15). Further, in step S15, the control unit 11 sends an instruction to the LED control unit 43 of the hand-spraying unit 4, and the LED 42 of the cell 41 to which the selected drug should be charged is colored with a color determined for each dosing time. Display. In the selection drug correspondence screen, as described above, the cell portion 111c of the cell image area 111 is displayed in the same color as the display color of the LED 42 of the corresponding cell 41. Further, on the screen for responding to the selected drug, as described above, the cell portion 111c of the cell image region 111 displays the number of tablets to be inserted into the corresponding cell 41.

Next, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the bar code collation process of step S14 has been completed for all the hand-spraying agents included in the prescription order of the current hand-spreading work (step S16). If the barcode collation process is completed for all the hand-sprayed agents, the control unit 11 activates the packaging start button (step S17). The packaging start button may be incorporated in the hand-spraying work support screen on the monitor 13, or may be provided in the operation panel of the drug packaging device 100. In the drug packaging device of the third embodiment, when the collation required mode is selected, the operation for the packaging start button is accepted unless the control unit 11 activates the packaging start button in step S17. do not have.

Then, in step S18, when the control unit 11 detects that the packaging start button has been pressed, the control unit 11 instructs the packaging unit 5 to start the packaging process (step S19). ). Then, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the handing work of the next cycle exists based on the prescription data (step S20), and if the handing work of the next cycle exists, the next cycle The hand-spraying work support screen corresponding to is displayed on the monitor 13 (step S21), and the process returns to step S13. If there is no manual sowing work in the next cycle in step S20, the process ends. The processing of steps S19 to S21 is the same as that of steps S6 to S8 of FIG.

In this way, it is possible to effectively prevent dispensing errors by not activating the packaging start button until it is confirmed that the barcode matching has been performed for all the hand-sprayed drugs contained in the prescription data. ..

Even in the above-mentioned collation required mode, the bar code collation process may be skipped by following a predetermined procedure for recording a log in which the bar code collation process has not been performed. In this case, as log data, the date and time, the prescription ID, the unmatched drug, and the user ID of the pharmacist who performed the work are recorded in the storage unit 12 of the drug packaging device.

An example of this predetermined procedure will be described below. For example, when the prescription data contains a hand-sprayed drug, for example, a packaging monitor screen as shown in FIG. 19 is displayed. Here, when the pharmacist selects the drug name column of the hand-sprayed drug (in the example of FIG. 19, it is assumed that the drug name column 301 of "bbbb OD tablet 15 mg" displayed at the top is selected. ), The display screen of the monitor 13 transitions to, for example, the LED assist screen as shown in FIG. When a plurality of hand-sprayed drugs are displayed on the package monitor screen, the pharmacist can select any drug name field.

On the LED assist screen 300 (see FIG. 20) displayed next, the drug list area 112 is displayed, and the image of the selected hand-spreading drug “bbbb OD tablet 15 mg” is displayed in the drug image area 113. .. Further, in the cell image area 111, the cells 41 into which the hand-spraying agent is to be added are displayed in different colors, and the number of locks to be added to each cell is displayed. This point is as described in the first and second embodiments. In FIG. 20, the LED assist screen 300 includes the packaged image area 211 described in the second embodiment, but the display mode may not include the packaged image area 211.

Further, the collation skip button 220b is displayed on the LED assist screen 300 shown in FIG. It also includes a "verification required mode" display field 220c indicating that the operation is in the collation required mode.

The pharmacist presses the collation skip button 220b when he / she wants to skip the bar code collation process of the hand-spreading drug “bbbb OD tablet 15 mg”. Then, the display screen of the monitor 13 transitions to the unmatched history registration screen as shown in FIG. On the non-collation history registration screen, a message asking whether the barcode collation process can be skipped is displayed together with the drug name for which the pharmacist pressed the collation skip button 220b. On this unmatched history registration screen, the pharmacist inputs his / her user ID in the user name input field 311 and presses the OK button 312 to perform the barcode matching process of the drug displayed on the unmatched history registration screen. You can leave a log that you skipped. That is, by the above procedure, the date and time when the OK button 312 is pressed, the drug name skipping the barcode collation process, the prescription ID for specifying the prescription data, and the user for specifying the pharmacist are stored in the storage unit 12 of the drug packaging device. The ID is recorded as a log.

It is also possible to register in advance in the drug packaging device whether or not each pharmacist has the authority to skip the barcode collation process. In this case, it is sufficient to register in the storage unit 12 whether or not there is an authority to skip the barcode collation process for each user ID. Then, when the OK button 312 is pressed, it is confirmed whether the user ID entered in the user name input field 311 is given the skip authority for the barcode collation process, and if the user ID does not have the authority, an error message is displayed. Should be output.

When the barcode collation process can be skipped in this way, the process of step S16 in the flowchart of FIG. 18 means that the bar code collation process has been completed for all the hand-spreading agents contained in the prescription data, or The process may be changed to check whether the log indicating that the bar code collation process has been skipped is left in the storage unit 12.

As described above, according to the third embodiment, the storage unit is a log indicating that the barcode collation process is completed or the bar code collation process is skipped for all the hand-sprinkled drugs contained in the prescription data. If either of the conditions left in 12 is not satisfied, the packaging cannot be started. This makes it possible to effectively prevent dispensing errors.

In the above specific example, a log indicating that the barcode collation process is completed or the bar code collation process is skipped is left in the storage unit 12 for all the hand-sprinkled drugs included in the prescription data. As an example of the subsequent processing that is continued after either of the conditions is satisfied, that is, after the normal completion of the hand-spreading work is confirmed, the packaging processing is exemplified. However, the subsequent processing is not limited to the packaging processing, and may be any other processing.

[Other embodiments]
Although the embodiments of the present invention have been specifically described above, the embodiments of the present invention are not limited to the embodiments described above, and various modifications can be made.

For example, in the above embodiment, an embodiment of the present invention as a drug packaging device including a tablet supply unit 2, a powder supply unit 3, and a packaging unit 5 has been described. However, among the above-mentioned components, at least one of the tablet supply unit 2, the powder supply unit 3, and the packaging unit 5 can be omitted. In the simplest configuration, the present invention can be implemented as a drug hand-spreading device that does not include any tablet supply unit, powder supply unit, and packaging unit, and only hand-spreads.

An example of a configuration for collating whether or not they match. However, the carrier of the code for identifying the drug is not limited to the barcode, and the means for reading the code is not limited to the barcode reader. The code for identifying the drug can be attached to the drug container or the like by any carrier that can be read electrically, magnetically, or optically, and the means for reading the code is also appropriate according to the characteristics of the code. It should be designed to.

Further, in the above embodiment, after one cycle of manual sprinkling work is completed, that is, after all the medicines to be packaged have been sprinkled on the tray cells, the inspection is performed and the packaging is started. Illustrated. However, it is also possible to provide a standby cell under each of the cells 41 of the hand-spreading unit 4 and perform the following control. That is, an inspection is performed every time one type of drug is sprinkled, and when the pharmacist selects the drug to be hand-spread next in the drug list area 112, the cell opening / closing control unit 44 performs a plurality of cells. Open the bottom surface of 41. As a result, the drugs sprinkled in the cell 41 are sent one by one to the waiting cell after each inspection. Then, when the start button for starting the packaging process is operated after the handing of the drug for one cycle is completed, the drug in the standby mass is sent out to the packaging unit 5. According to this configuration and control, it becomes easy to inspect each type of hand-sprayed drug one by one.

Further, in the configuration provided with the standby cell as described above, an inspection is performed every time at least one type of drug is sprinkled, and after the inspection is completed, a plurality of cell opening / closing control units 44 are provided according to a predetermined operation by the pharmacist. The bottom surface of the cell 41 may be opened. Here, the "predetermined operation" is, for example, an operation of a cell open / close button or the like. In this configuration, after the tablet sprinkled in the cell 41 is fed into the waiting cell, the control unit 11 hides the image of the drug selected so far in the packaging image area 211. According to this configuration, no image is displayed in the packaged image area 211 for the drug for which the hand-spraying work and the inspection have been completed. That is, only the image of the medicine necessary for the subsequent hand-spraying work is displayed in the packaged image area 211. This makes it easier to visually check during the hand-spraying work.

The drug list region 112 and the dose display region 114 disclosed in the above embodiment are not essential. For example, in the above embodiment, a configuration in which a drug is selected in the drug list region 112 is exemplified. However, the drug list area 112 may be omitted, and the drug may be selected by reading the bar code from the drug container or the like with the bar code reader 6.

Further, in the above embodiment, the tray of the hand-spraying unit is provided with a light emitting unit provided corresponding to each of the plurality of cells and capable of switching and displaying a plurality of colors, and is made to correspond to the color of the light emitting unit. , The configuration in which the color of the cell part of the cell image area of the hand-spraying work support screen is switched and displayed is illustrated. However, the light emitting portion may be omitted, and the color switching display of the cell portion on the hand-spraying work support screen may be omitted.

Further, in the third embodiment, as a modification of the first or second embodiment, the hand-spraying unit 4 is provided with an LED 42 for each of the cells 41, and the cell image area 111, the drug image area 113, and the like are monitored. Assuming the configuration displayed in No. 13, the configuration in which the package start button cannot be operated until the barcode collation process is completed is illustrated. However, the LED 42 of the hand-spraying unit 4, the cell image area 111, the drug image area 113, and the like displayed on the monitor 13 are not essential configurations for the third embodiment. That is, with respect to the third embodiment, in any drug packaging device for performing the hand-spraying work, a means for reading a code for identifying the drug from a container for the hand-sprinkled drug, a PTP sheet, or the like is provided, and the information of the read code is used. Based on this, it has a configuration for collating whether or not the hand-sprayed drug matches the prescription data, and if the collation process is not completed for all the hand-spreaded drugs contained in the prescription data, or the collation process is performed according to a predetermined procedure. If there is no record of skipping, one invention can be grasped as a device that cannot start subsequent processing such as packaging.

For example, a configuration having the following elements (Appendix 1-2) can be grasped as the invention disclosed in the present application.
