FIG. 10 is a schematic diagram showing an example of a pharmacist's profile screen.
As shown in FIG. 10, following the initial screen, the screen display section 254 displays a pharmacist's profile screen. The pharmacist's profile screen includes permanently displayed profile items and items selected by the server 20 according to patient attributes. For example, in the example shown in Figure 10, the permanently displayed profile items include the pharmacist's photo, name, age, marital/single status, community activities, and areas of current focus. ing. Furthermore, in the example shown in FIG. 10, "Hobby: Walking" is displayed as an item selected according to patient attributes. That is, the patient attributes of the patient to whom the profile screen of FIG. 10 is presented includes data for "Hobby: Walking," and the pharmacist's profile data includes "Hobby: Walking," which is common to the patient's attribute information. item is selected and displayed on the profile screen.

FIG. 11 is a schematic diagram showing an example of a questionnaire screen.
As shown in FIG. 11, the screen display unit 254 displays the contents of a questionnaire regarding drug administration in response to the pharmacist's operation on the display screen, and the operation reception unit 251 accepts an operation for selecting options for the items of this questionnaire. It will be done.

FIG. 12 is a schematic diagram showing an example of a state in which responses to the questionnaire have been made.
In the example shown in FIG. 12, in response to the questionnaire ``Do you like medicine?'', the patient's response, ``I want to feel safe by taking medicine,'' is selected. Furthermore, in the example shown in FIG. 12, in response to the questionnaire ``Do you ever forget to take your medicine?'', the patient's response option ``Sometimes'' is selected. In the present embodiment, the pharmacist's profile with simplified content is displayed on display screens other than the pharmacist's profile screen, such as the questionnaire display screen, as shown in FIG. 12.

FIG. 13 is a schematic diagram showing an example of a display screen showing the contents of changed drug information.
As shown in FIG. 13, the screen display unit 254 displays the contents of the changed drug information in response to the pharmacist's operation on the display screen. In the example shown in FIG. 13, the contents of past prescriptions include the name of the medical institution to which the doctor who prescribed the prescription belongs, the clinical department, the name of the doctor, the date of prescription, and a list of drugs prescribed the day before last. Similarly, in the example shown in FIG. 13, the contents of the current prescription include the name of the medical institution to which the prescribing doctor belongs, the department, the doctor's name, the date of prescription, etc., and a list of the drugs prescribed this time. There is. Furthermore, in the example shown in FIG. 13, it is shown between the contents of the prescription two times before and the contents of the current prescription that the previous prescription is the same as the prescription two times before. Note that if the previous prescription has been changed from the prescription before the previous one, the changes are also displayed. The pharmacist can explain the contents of the prescription change in an easy-to-understand manner to the patient by operating the display screen while presenting the display screen shown in FIG. 13 to the patient.

FIG. 14 is a schematic diagram illustrating an example of a state in which the pharmacist performs an operation for explaining prescription details to a patient on the display screen illustrated in FIG. 13.
As shown in Figure 14, there are no changes between the past prescription contents and the current prescription contents for "A tablet" and "B tablet", so the pharmacist changed the items for "tablet A" and "tablet B". When operated, an arrow indicating that the prescription is the same will identify and indicate that there is no change in the prescription. On the other hand, although "C tablets" were included in past prescriptions, they were not included in the current prescription, so when the pharmacist operated on the "C tablets" item, the prescription was canceled. A dashed X symbol indicating this, and a message "Please bring it without drinking it" are displayed over the "C tablet" item. Furthermore, although the prescription for "D Capsules" has been switched to "G Capsules," it is necessary to drink all the prescribed "D Capsules" before switching to "G Capsules," so pharmacists When the "Capsule" item is operated, a message "Drink all the D Capsule" is displayed superimposed on the "D Capsule" item. In addition, the method of changing the prescription is identified and represented by an arrow indicating that the prescription has been changed from "D capsule" to "G capsule" and a message "change after drinking the entire capsule".

Additionally, when the pharmacist operates on the items for drugs prescribed in the current prescription, such as "A tablet" and "F capsule," a message saying "◎Don't forget to take your dose" will be superimposed on these items. Is displayed. Furthermore, if the pharmacist manipulates an item in the current prescription that has been changed from the previous prescription, such as G-capsules, and has an advantage for the patient (for example, ``From today, I will start A message indicating that the patient's quality of life will improve, such as "You can eat it now!", is displayed over this item. In addition, if there is a change in the drug packaging or the appearance of the drug itself, a message such as "The packaging (appearance) has changed" will be displayed to notify the patient of the change in the drug packaging or the appearance of the drug itself. It is also possible to do so. In this case, images such as photographs showing the drug packaging and appearance of the drug itself before the change are displayed in the past prescription contents, and images such as photographs showing the drug packaging and appearance of the drug itself after the change are displayed in the current prescription contents. An image such as a photograph is displayed. These messages include "Bring it without drinking," "Drink it all," "Don't forget to drink it," "You can eat ○○ from today!" and "The packaging (appearance) has changed." The message can be automatically displayed based on the result of comparing past prescription data with the current prescription data or the result of the pharmacist's operation.

In addition to the above-mentioned examples, the display contents of these messages can include contents to be notified to the patient (such as a warning or advice from a pharmacist) in response to a change in prescription contents. For example, in the current prescription, benefits for the patient (for example, improvements in quality of life, etc.) resulting from changes from past prescriptions can also be displayed. This can encourage patients to be more conscious of changing prescription details.
Further, the contents of these messages correspond to the history of medication guidance to patients (guidance history). Therefore, when the pharmacy computer 10 receives the content of a pharmacist's communication with a patient by operating the pharmacist terminal 30, the pharmacy computer 10 records the fact that the patient was instructed on the content of these messages in the drug history. Store in DB73. For example, when a pharmacist operates the item "A tablet" on the pharmacist terminal 30 and a message "Don't forget to take it" is displayed, the contents of this operation are transmitted to the pharmacy computer 10. Then, in the pharmacy computer 10, the content of the instruction, ``I emphasized and instructed the patient not to forget to take the A tablet'' is stored in the drug history DB 73. This makes it possible to reduce the work burden on pharmacists in creating a drug history, and to appropriately record necessary record items as a drug history.

Here, on the display screen showing the contents of changed drug information, each listed item has been rearranged between the past prescription contents and the current prescription contents for the purpose of ease of explanation. can do.
FIG. 15 is a schematic diagram showing an example of a state in which the arrangement of listed items is changed.
As shown in Figure 15, if "C tablet" in the past prescription has been changed to "F capsule" with the same efficacy in the current prescription, the position of "C tablet" is changed to "F capsule". You can change the arrangement by moving it to the position next to ``. Thereby, the details of the prescription change can be displayed more clearly for the patient.
