Note that it is also possible to use the mobile terminal 6 as the reading terminal 7 and omit the reading terminal 7.

[An example of medication distribution work]
Next, with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4, a flow of medication distribution work performed at the pharmacy A and the geriatric health facility B, where the medication distribution support system 10 is used, will be described. Specifically, steps S1 to S5 shown in FIG. 3 are executed at the pharmacy A, and steps S6 to S7 are executed at the geriatric health facility B. Note that FIG. 4 is a diagram schematically showing the flow of the drug distribution operation when medicines are delivered from the pharmacy A to the geriatric health facility B1 and the geriatric health facility B2, which are examples of the geriatric health facility B.

<Step S1>
First, in the dispensing support device 1, the control unit 11 selects the geriatric health facility B to which the medicine is to be delivered, in response to a user operation on the operating device 15, and issues prescription data corresponding to the geriatric health facility B. Prescription data issuance processing is executed (S1).

<Step S2>
In the dispensing support device 1, the control unit 11 generates packaging data based on each of the prescription data issued in step S1, and inputs the packaging data to the drug packaging device 3. As a result, automatic dispensing by the drug packaging device 3 is started (S2). As a result, as shown in FIG. 4, the medicine packages 81 each containing the medicine to be taken by the recipients belonging to each of the health care facilities B for the elderly are obtained.

Further, in step S2, in the drug packaging device 3, the control unit 31 uses the packaging printer 32 to print the code 811 indicating the first drug distribution information to the The medicine package 81 is printed. The first medication distribution information includes the recipient ID, the dosing time, and the delivery destination identification information. In addition, the name of the person taking the medicine, the date and time of taking the medicine, and the time of taking the medicine are also printed on the medicine package 81.

Further, in step S2, the control unit 11 uses the printer 4 to print the code 822 indicating the second medicine distribution information on the label 821 attached to the medicine bag 82, as shown in FIG. to be printed. The second medication distribution information includes the dosing time and the delivery destination identification information. The drug bag 82 also includes the name of the nursing facility, the date and time of administration, and the timing of administration.

<Step S3>
When the drug dispensing work by the drug packaging device 3 is completed, the pharmacist in charge of inspection then inspects the drug dispensed by the drug packaging device 3 (S3). Note that an image inspection system may be used for the inspection, which images the medicine dispensed by the medicine packaging device 3 and automatically performs the inspection based on the captured image. For example, when the time-based packaging process is executed in the drug packaging process, the image inspection system divides the images of each of the medicine packages 81 arranged by the dosing period in each nursing care facility, and Inspection images are generated for each person taking the drug and arranged according to the timing of taking the drug. Then, the image inspection system inspects the medicine prepared by the medicine packaging device 3 based on the inspection image.

<Step S4>
Next, as shown in FIG. 4, the person in charge of delivery stores each of the medicine packages 81 to be delivered to each of the nursing care facilities B in the medicine bag 82 corresponding to the dosing time and delivery destination of the medicine package 81 ( S4). At this time, the person in charge of delivery uses the reading terminal 2 to read the first medicine distribution information and the second medicine distribution information from the medicine package 81 and the medicine bag 82, respectively. Thereby, the control unit 11 of the dispensing management device 1 determines whether or not the first medication distribution information and the second medication distribution information match in the accommodation verification process described later.

<Step S5>
After that, the person in charge of delivery delivers each of the medicine bags 82 to the delivery destination (S5). At this time, the person in charge of delivery uses the reading terminal 2 to read the second medicine distribution information from each of the medicine bags 82. Thereby, the control unit 11 of the dispensing management device 1 determines whether or not there is any leakage in the medicine bag 82 to be delivered to the delivery destination in a delivery verification process to be described later.

<Step S6>
Next, in each of the geriatric health facilities B, upon receiving each of the medicine bags 82 from the pharmacy A, the person in charge of medicine distribution reads the second medicine distribution information from the code 822 of the medicine bag 82 using the reading terminal 7. (S6). As a result, the control unit 51 of the drug distribution support device 51 uses the delivery destination identification information included in the second drug distribution information and the delivery destination of the geriatric health facility B where the reading terminal 7 is located in the drug receiving process to be described later. It is determined whether or not the destination identification information matches.

<Step S7>
Thereafter, the person in charge of dispensing medicine at the geriatric health facility B dispenses each of the medicine packets 81 stored in the medicine bag 82 corresponding to the dosing time to the resident for each dosing time (S7). At this time, in the medicine distribution work, the medicine packages 81 for a plurality of users are stored in the medicine bag 82 according to the dosage period, so that at the nursing care facility B, which is the delivery destination, It is possible to take out the medicine packets 81 for a plurality of users from the medicine bag 82 and easily administer medication to each of the users. Further, in step S7, the person in charge of drug distribution uses the mobile terminal 6 to read the first drug distribution information from each of the drug packages 81. As a result, the control unit 51 of the medication distribution support device 51 performs a check on the resident corresponding to the recipient ID based on the recipient ID included in the first medication distribution information in the medicine distribution verification process to be described later. The face image 63 is read out from the user information storage section 521 of the data storage section 52 and displayed on the mobile terminal 6.

[Various processes executed by the drug distribution support system 10]
Hereinafter, with reference to FIGS. 5 to 13, an example of various processes executed in the drug distribution support system 10 when the drug distribution work (see FIG. 3) is executed will be described. The various processes executed in the drug distribution support system 10 are not limited to those described here, but may be executed by control units of various devices constituting the drug distribution support system 10.

[Prescription data issuance process]
First, with reference to FIG. 5, the prescription data issuing process executed by the control unit 11 of the dispensing support device 1 in step S1 will be described.

<Step S11>
In step S11, the control unit 11 determines whether an operation for issuing prescription data has been performed for one or more of the geriatric health facilities B. Specifically, the control unit 11 selects one or more of the geriatric health facilities B in response to a user operation of the operating device 15 in the dispensing support device 1, and performs an operation for issuing prescription data for each of the geriatric health facilities B. accept. Then, when the prescription data issuance operation is performed (S11: Yes), the process moves to step S12. Note that until the prescription data issuance operation is performed (S11: No), the process waits in step S11.

<Step S12>
In step S12, the control unit 11 generates packet data in which the prescription data of each of the users belonging to each of the nursing care facilities B is broken down and arranged by the same dosing period in units of the nursing care facilities to which the users belong. generate.

For example, as shown in FIG. 6, the control unit 11 generates group prescription data in which prescription data of a plurality of users belonging to each of "health facility for the elderly B1" and "health facility for the elderly B2" is grouped. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 7, the control unit 11 arranges prescription data corresponding to each of the users belonging to "Geriatric Health Facility B1" and "Geriatric Health Facility B2" for each dosing period based on the group prescription data. Generate the changed packaging data. The package data also includes data (blank data) indicating that there is no medicine for a person taking the drug at the time of taking the drug.

<Step S13>
Then, in step S13, the control unit 11 outputs the packaging data to the medicine packaging device 3. Thereby, the medicine packaging device 3 executes medicine packaging processing (see FIG. 8), which will be described later, according to the packaging data. In addition, as another embodiment, it is possible to print out a one-dimensional code or a two-dimensional code indicating the package data using the printer 4 or the like to which the dispensing support device 1 is connected. Thereby, in the drug packaging device 3, by reading the packaging data from the printed paper using a hardcode reader or the like, it is possible to perform packaging operations according to the packaging data.

[Drug packaging processing]
Next, the medicine packaging process executed by the control unit 31 of the medicine packaging device 3 in step S2 will be described with reference to FIG. 8. In this embodiment, a case will be described in which the time-based packaging process is executed as the medicine packaging process, but the user-specific packaging process may also be executed.

<Step S21>
First, in step S21, the control unit 31 waits for input of the package data from the dispensing support device 1 (S21: No). If it is determined that the packaging data has been input (S21: Yes), the control unit 31 shifts the process to step S22.

<Step S22>
In step S22, the control unit 31 sets the first geriatric health facility B1 in the package data as a package target. Specifically, when the packaging data shown in FIG. 7 is input, the control unit 11 sets "Elderly Health Facility B1" as the packaging target in the first step S22. When step S22 is executed for the second time or later, the control unit 11 sequentially sets the second and subsequent hospital rooms as targets for packaging. That is, when the packaging data shown in FIG. 7 is input, the control unit 31 sets "Elderly Health Facility B2" as the packaging target in the second step S22.

<Step S23>
In step S23, the control unit 31 starts packaging with the first dosing time corresponding to the nursing care facility B selected as the packaging target in step S22 out of the packaging data as the packaging target. .

Specifically, when the sachet data shown in FIG. 7 is input, the control unit 31, in the first step S23, determines the dosing time of "Month/Day after breakfast" of "Geriatric Health Facility B1". Start packaging with . If step S23 is executed for the second time or later, the control unit 31 sequentially starts packaging for the second and subsequent dosing times. That is, when the packet data shown in FIG. 7 has been input, the control unit 31, in the second step S23, sets the dosing timing of "after lunch on △ month △ day" in "elderly health facility B1". Start packaging as a packaging target.

Here, FIG. 9(A) is a diagram showing an example of packaging results when the medicine packaging process is executed based on the packaging data shown in FIG. 7. In the packaging result shown in FIG. 9(A), medicines to be taken by a plurality of users belonging to the same elderly health facility B are successively divided and packed for each dosage period. Specifically, the medicine packages 81 corresponding to the users "Ichiro Yuyama", "Jiro Yuyama", and "Saburo Yuyama" in the nursing care facility B1 are continuously administered after breakfast, after lunch, and after dinner on △ month △ day. It is formed as follows. Note that after △ month △ day, the next day △ month □ day is also packaged in the same manner.

In addition, if the prescription data includes information (type, time of use, etc.) on unpackaged medicines such as eye drops, liquid medicines, or external medicines that are not packaged in the medicine packet 81, the package data , it is conceivable that information on the unpackaged medicines is included in addition to the data on the medicines packaged by the medicine packaging device 3. In this case, the control unit 31 displays information such as the presence of the unpackaged medicine and the contents of the unpackaged medicine in the medicine package 81 corresponding to the usage period of the unpackaged medicine using text or pictograms. (image) can be printed. Thereby, the presence of the unpackaged medicine can be easily recognized when dispensing the medicine in the medicine package 81, and forgetting to use the unpackaged medicine can be suppressed. Further, even if the medicine package 81 corresponding to the usage period of the unpackaged medicine does not exist, the control section 31 outputs the empty medicine pack 81 and the unpackaged medicine is placed in the medicine pack 81. It is conceivable to print information such as the presence of the medicine and the contents of the medicine outside the package in the form of characters or pictograms (images). As a result, even if there is an unpackaged medicine to be used at a time different from the timing of taking the medicine packet 81, the presence of the unpackaged medicine can be easily grasped by referring to the medicine pack 81. This makes it possible to prevent forgetting to use the unpackaged medicine.

<Step S24>
Next, in step S24, the control unit 31 sequentially determines whether or not there is a medicine to be taken at the relevant dosing time based on the data of each of the takers included in the sachet data. Then, when the data does not include a medicine to be taken at the time of administration, that is, when the data is empty (S24: No), the control unit 31 moves the process to step S241. On the other hand, if there is a medicine to be taken at the time in the data, that is, if the data is not empty data (S24: Yes), the process moves to step S25.

<Step S25>
In step S25, the control unit 31 executes a packaging operation for the data included in the packaging data. Specifically, the control unit 31 causes the parcel printer 32 to print the name of the person taking the medicine, the time of taking the medicine, and the code 811 indicating the first medicine distribution information on the medicine package 81, and also prints the data on the medicine package 81. The corresponding medicines are packaged into the medicine packages 81.

<Step S241>
On the other hand, in step S241, the control unit 31 creates an empty medicine package 81 on which the sachet printer 32 prints a message to the effect that there is no medicine to be taken at the given time. Specifically, on the empty medicine package 81, the name of the person taking the medicine, the time of taking the medicine, the code 811, and information indicating that there is no medicine (no medicine) are printed.

<Step S26>
Then, in step S26, the control unit 31 determines whether or not the packaging for the same dosing period started in step S23 has been completed. Here, if it is determined that the packaging for the same dosing period has been completed (S26: Yes), the control unit 31 shifts the process to step S27. On the other hand, if it is determined that the packaging for the same dosing period has not been completed (S26: No), the control unit 31 returns the process to step S24.

<Step S27>
In step S27, the control unit 31 determines whether or not packaging for all dosing periods has been completed for the same nursing care facility B set as the packaging target in step S22. Here, if it is determined that the packaging for all doses has been completed (S27: Yes), the control unit 31 shifts the process to step S28. On the other hand, if it is determined that the packaging for all doses has not been completed (S27: No), the control unit 31 shifts the process to step S271.

<Step S271>
In step S271, the control unit 31 executes a package separation process to clearly indicate the timing at which the dosing period changes, and returns the process to step S23. For example, the separation process is to provide one empty medicine package 81. Thereby, it is possible to easily grasp the timing of switching of the dosing period on the medicine packaging sheet in which the medicine packaging 81 obtained as a result of the medicine packaging process is successively formed. In addition, various information for drug testing and inspection regarding the contents of each medicine package 81 in a row in front of the empty medicine package 81 may be printed. Further, the separation process may be to once cut the medicine package sheet in which the medicine packages 81 are continuously formed. Thereby, the medicine packaging device 3 can automatically obtain a series of medicine packages 81 for each dosing period. Note that it is also possible to omit the delimiting process as another embodiment.

<Step S28>
Then, in step S28, it is determined whether the packaging for all the nursing care facilities B included in the packaging data has been completed. Here, if it is determined that the packaging for each of the nursing care facilities B has been completed (S28: Yes), the control unit 31 ends the series of drug packaging processing and returns the process to step S21. On the other hand, if it is determined that the packaging for each of the nursing care facilities B has not been completed (S28: No), the control unit 31 shifts the process to step S22, and performs the packaging operation for the next nursing care facility B. Start.

In addition, in this embodiment, the case where the said time-based packaging process is executed in the medicine packaging process has been described as an example, but it is also possible that the medication packaging process is performed in the medication packaging process. You can. Here, FIG. 9(B) is a diagram illustrating the packaging results when the patient-specific packaging process is executed for the "elderly health facility B1" according to the group prescription data shown in FIG. 6. In the packaging result shown in FIG. 9(B), medicines to be taken by one person are successively divided and packed for each dosage period. Specifically, in the example shown in FIG. 9(B), after breakfast, lunch, and dinner on day △ of month △, after breakfast, after lunch, and after dinner on day △ of month △ of the user "Ichiro Yuyama" The medicine packages 81 corresponding to the above are continuously formed. After the user "Ichiro Yuyama", the medicine packages 81 corresponding to each time of administration are similarly formed successively for the user "Jiro Yuyama" belonging to the same geriatric health facility B1.

[Verification process at the time of accommodation]
Next, with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 10, the accommodation verification process executed by the control unit 11 of the dispensing support device 1 in step S3 will be described.

Note that when the user-specific packaging process is executed, when the medicine packages 81 are stored in the medicine bags 82 in step S3, each of the medicine packages 81 is separated and stored in each of the medicine bags 82. Ru. On the other hand, when the time-specific packaging process is executed, when the medicine packages 81 are stored in the medicine bags 82 in step S3, each of the medicine packages 81 may be separated and stored in each medicine bag 82. However, a plurality of medicine packages 81 connected in series for each dosing period may be stored in the medicine bag 82 without being separated. Through such storage operations, the pharmacy A prepares a plurality of medicine bags 82 in which the medicine packages 81 of a plurality of people taking the medication corresponding to the respective dosing periods are collectively stored.

<Step S31>
In step S31, the control unit 11 determines whether the reading terminal 2 has read the second medicine distribution information from the code 822 of the medicine bag 82. Here, when the control unit 11 determines that the second medication distribution information has been read (S31: Yes), the process moves to step S32. On the other hand, until the second medication distribution information is read (S31: No), the process waits in step S31. The control unit 11 determines the difference between the first medicine distribution information of the medicine package 81 and the second medicine distribution information of the medicine bag 82, for example, by determining whether or not the user ID exists only in the first medicine distribution information. It is possible to judge according to the Of course, the first medication distribution information and the second medication distribution information may include information that allows the identification.

<Step S32>
In step S32, the control unit 11 determines which medicine packages 81 are stored in the same medicine bag 82 based on the second medicine distribution information of the medicine bag 82 read in step S31 and the medicine distribution management information D1. One or more medicine packages 81 predetermined as such are specified. Specifically, the control unit 11 selects the medicine package in which the medicine of the recipient ID whose delivery destination identification information and dosing time are the same as the second medicine distribution information in the medicine distribution management information D1 is stored. 81 is specified as the medicine package 81 to be stored in the medicine bag 82.

<Step S33>
Then, in step S33, the control unit 11 determines whether the reading terminal 2 has read the first medicine distribution information from the code 811 of the medicine package 81. Here, when the control unit 11 determines that the first drug distribution information has been read (S33: Yes), the process moves to step S34, and until the first drug distribution information is read (S33 : No), the determination in step S33 is repeated.

<Step S34>
In step S34, the control unit 11 controls the delivery destination identification information and the dosing time of the second medicine distribution information read in step S31 and the delivery of the first medicine distribution information read in step S33. It is determined whether the patient identification information and the timing of administration match. Here, the step S34 is a process executed by the determination unit 112 of the control unit 11. Moreover, in the step S34, the control unit 11 causes the data storage unit 12 to store the first medicine distribution information read in the step S33 and the determination result in the step S34 as a reading history. Thereby, the dispensing support device 1 can refer to and output the reading history.

<Step S35>
Then, in step S35, the control unit 11 notifies the determination result in step S34. Here, the step S35 is a process executed by the first notification section 113 of the control section 11. Specifically, the control unit 11 notifies the user of the determination result by displaying the determination result on the display device 14 or the reading terminal 2. This allows the user to recognize the determination result. Therefore, human error is suppressed in the medicine distribution operation in which the medicine packets 81 of a plurality of users are grouped into the medicine bag 82 according to the time of taking the medicine and delivered to the delivery destination. Note that the method of notifying the determination result is not limited to display, and the determination result may be notified by sound, lighting mode, or the like.

<Step S36>
Thereafter, in step S36, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the reading terminal 2 finishes reading the first medicine distribution information from the medicine package 81 housed in the medicine bag 82. Specifically, the control unit 11 ends the reading operation when the user continues to operate the reading terminal 2 or when the next reading operation of the first medicine distribution information from the medicine package 81 is performed. It is determined not to do so (S36: No), and the process proceeds to step S33. Thereby, reading of the first medicine distribution information from each of the medicine packages 81 housed in the medicine bag 82 is executed in order. On the other hand, when the end signal is input from the reading terminal 2 in response to the user's end operation on the reading terminal 2, or from the medicine bag 82 different from the medicine bag 82 read in step S31, the control unit 11 When the second medicine distribution information is read, it is determined that the reading operation is finished (S36: Yes), and the process proceeds to step S37.

<Step S37>
In step S37, the control unit 11 determines whether the first medicine distribution information has been read from all the medicine packages 81 to be stored in the same medicine bag 82, based on the medicine distribution management information D1. do. Here, the step S37 is a process executed by the determination unit 112 of the control unit 11. Here, when the control unit 11 determines that the first medicine distribution information has been read from all the medicine packages 81 to be stored in the medicine bag 82 (S37: Yes), it ends the storage verification process. The process returns to step S31. In addition, when it is determined that the reading is completed by reading the second medicine distribution information from a different medicine bag 82, similar processing is executed based on the second medicine distribution information in the subsequent step S31 and thereafter. On the other hand, if the control unit 11 determines that the first medicine distribution information has not been read from all the medicine packages 81 to be accommodated in the medicine bag 82 (S37: No), the process proceeds to step S38.

<Step S38>
In step S38, the control unit 11 notifies the determination result in step S37, and returns the process to step S33. Specifically, the control unit 11 determines, based on the medicine distribution management information D1, that there is a medicine pack 81 that is not read in step S33 among the medicine packs 81 to be stored in the medicine bag 82; and information on the unread medicine package 81 is displayed on the display device 14 or the reading terminal 2. Thereby, leakage of the medicine package 81 into the medicine bag 82 is suppressed. For example, the control unit 11 displays the ID or name of the person taking the medicine corresponding to the medicine pack 81 that is not read in step S33 among the medicine packs 81 to be stored in the medicine bag 82, together with the dosing time. .

[Verification process at the time of delivery]
Next, the delivery verification process executed by the control unit 11 of the dispensing support device 1 in step S5 will be described with reference to the flowchart in FIG. 11.

<Step S41>
In step S41, the control unit 11 determines whether the delivery destination identification information has been input by the reading terminal 2. Specifically, the person in charge of delivery inputs into the reading terminal 2 the delivery destination identification information indicating the geriatric health facility B, which is the delivery destination of the medicine bag 82 to be shipped. In addition, the person in charge of delivery uses the reading terminal 2 to read the delivery destination identification information pre-attached to a container such as a container in which the drug bag 82 to be shipped is housed when being delivered. It is also possible to input identification information. Here, if the control unit 11 determines that the delivery destination identification information has been input (S41: Yes), the process moves to step S42. On the other hand, until the delivery destination identification information is input (S41: No), the process waits in step S41.

<Step S42>
In step S42, the control unit 11 simultaneously delivers to the same geriatric health facility B indicated by the delivery destination identification information, based on the delivery destination identification information and the drug distribution management information D1 input in step S41. One or more medicine bags 82 to be treated are identified. Specifically, the control unit 11 identifies the medicine bags 82 having the same delivery destination identification information and the same delivery date as the medicine bags 82 that should be delivered to the geriatric health facility B at the same time.

<Step S43>
Then, in step S43, the control unit 11 determines whether the reading terminal 2 has read the second medicine distribution information from the code 822 of the medicine bag 82. Here, when the control unit 11 determines that the second drug distribution information has been read (S43: Yes), the process moves to step S44, and until the second drug distribution information is read (S43 :No), the determination in step S43 is repeated.

<Step S44>
In step S44, the control unit 11 determines whether the delivery destination identification information input in step S41 matches the delivery destination identification information of the second drug distribution information read in step S43. judge. Here, the step S44 is a process executed by the determination unit 112 of the control unit 11. Moreover, in step S44, the control unit 11 causes the data storage unit 12 to store the second medication distribution information read in step S43 and the determination result in step S44 as a reading history. Thereby, the dispensing support device 1 can refer to and output the reading history.

<Step S45>
Then, in step S45, the control unit 11 notifies the determination result in step S44. Here, the step S45 is a process executed by the first notification section 113 of the control section 11. Specifically, the control unit 11 notifies the user of the determination result by displaying the determination result on the display device 14 or the reading terminal 2. This allows the user to recognize the determination result. Therefore, human error is suppressed in the medicine distribution operation in which the medicine packets 81 of a plurality of users are grouped into the medicine bag 82 according to the time of taking the medicine and delivered to the delivery destination. Note that the method of notifying the determination result is not limited to display, and the determination result may be notified by sound, lighting mode, or the like.

<Step S46>
Thereafter, in step S46, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the reading operation of the second medicine distribution information by the reading terminal 2 from the medicine bag 82 to be delivered to the same health care facility B for the elderly is to be completed. Specifically, the control unit 11 does not end the reading operation when the user continues to operate the reading terminal 2 or when the next reading operation of the second medicine distribution information from the medicine bag 82 is performed. (S46: No), and the process moves to step S43. Thereby, reading of the second medicine distribution information from each of the medicine bags 82 to be delivered to the same health care facility B for the elderly is sequentially performed. On the other hand, when an end signal is input from the reading terminal 2 in response to a user's end operation on the reading terminal 2, or when the control unit 11 receives the delivery destination identification information different from the delivery destination identification information input in step S41, If the destination identification information is input, it is determined that the reading operation is to be completed (S46: Yes), and the process proceeds to step S47.

<Step S47>
In step S47, the control unit 11, based on the medicine distribution management information D1, distributes the second medicine from all the medicine bags 82 to be simultaneously delivered to the same geriatric health facility B corresponding to the delivery destination identification information. Determine whether the information has been read. Here, the step S47 is a process executed by the determination unit 112 of the control unit 11. Here, if the control unit 11 determines that the second medicine distribution information has been read from all the medicine bags 82 to be delivered to the geriatric health facility B at the same time (S47: Yes), it ends the delivery verification process. The process then proceeds to step S41. Note that if it is determined that the reading is completed due to input of different delivery destination identification information, similar processing is executed based on the delivery destination identification information in the subsequent step S41 and thereafter. On the other hand, if the control unit 11 determines that the second medicine distribution information has not been read from all the medicine bags 82 to be simultaneously delivered to the geriatric health facility B (S47: No), the control unit 11 shifts the process to step S48. .

<Step S48>
In step S48, the control unit 11 notifies the determination result in step S47, and returns the process to step S43. Specifically, based on the medicine distribution management information D1, the control unit 11 determines which of the medicine bags 82 that should be simultaneously delivered to the geriatric health facility B corresponding to the delivery destination identification information have not been read in step S43. The presence of the medicine bag 82 and information about the unread medicine bag 82 are displayed on the display device 14 or the reading terminal 2. Thereby, omission of delivery of the medicine bag 82 to the geriatric health facility B is suppressed. For example, the control unit 11 transmits the delivery date and the like corresponding to the medicine bag 82 that is not read in step S43 among the medicine bags 82 that should be simultaneously delivered to the elderly health facility B corresponding to the delivery destination identification information. It is displayed together with destination identification information.

[Processing upon receipt]
Next, an example of the procedure of the receiving process executed by the control unit 51 of the drug distribution support device 5 in step S6 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 12.

<Step S51>
In step S51, the control unit 51 determines whether the second medicine distribution information has been read from the medicine bag 82. Here, until the second medicine distribution information is read from the medicine bag 82 (S51: No), the process waits in the step S51. On the other hand, if it is determined that the second medicine distribution information has been read from the medicine bag 82 (S51: Yes), the process moves to step S52.

<Step S52>
In step S52, the control unit 51 indicates the delivery destination identification information included in the second drug distribution information read in step S51 and the geriatric health facility B in which the drug distribution support device 5 is installed. It is determined whether the delivery destination identification information registered in advance in the medicine distribution support device 5 matches the information. Here, the step S52 is a process executed by the delivery destination determination unit 512 of the control unit 51. Moreover, in step S52, the control unit 51 causes the data storage unit 52 to store the second medication distribution information read in step S51 and the determination result in step S52 as a reading history. Thereby, the medicine distribution support device 5 can refer to and output the reading history.

<Step S53>
Then, in step S53, the control unit 51 notifies the determination result in step S52. Specifically, the control unit 51 causes the display device 54 or the reading terminal 7 to display the determination result. Here, the step S53 is a process executed by the second notification section 513 of the control section 51. Thereby, the person in charge of medicine distribution can easily and reliably recognize that the health facility for the elderly B is the correct delivery destination for the medicine bag 82 by checking the determination result. Therefore, erroneous delivery of the medicine bag 82 is suppressed.

[Verification process during drug distribution]
Next, referring to the flowchart of FIG. 13, in step S7, the control unit 51 of the drug distribution support device 5
An example of the procedure of the medicine dispensing verification process executed by the following will be described.

<Step S61>
In step S61, the control unit 51 determines whether the first medicine distribution information has been read from the medicine package 81. Here, until the first medicine distribution information is read from the medicine package 81 (S61: No), the process waits in the step S61. On the other hand, if it is determined that the first medicine distribution information has been read from the medicine package 81 (S61: Yes), the process moves to step S62.

<Step S62>
In step S62, the control unit 51 controls the occupancy of the patient corresponding to the patient based on the patient ID included in the first medication distribution information read in step S61, the conversion information, and the resident master. identify the person Moreover, in step S62, the control unit 51 causes the data storage unit 52 to store the first drug distribution information read in step S61 and the identification result in step S62 as a reading history. Thereby, the medicine distribution support device 5 can refer to and output the reading history.

<Step S63>
Then, in step S63, the control unit 51 sends to the mobile terminal 6 the timing of taking the medicine package 81, and the name and face image 63 of the resident corresponding to the person taking the medicine specified in step S62. (See Figure 4). Here, the step S63 is a process executed by the display control section 511 of the control section 51. Thereby, by checking the face image 63 of the resident, the person in charge of dispensing the medicine can easily and reliably recognize that the resident is the correct person to take the medicine in the medicine package 81. Therefore, drug dispensing errors by drug dispensing personnel are suppressed. Further, according to the configuration of the medication distribution support system 10, since the face image 63 is displayed, each resident does not need to wear a wristband or the like to identify the resident. It is suitable for the operation of health facility B for the elderly. In another embodiment, a plurality of facial images 63 with different expressions or photographing angles for one resident may be registered in advance in the resident master. Thereby, the person in charge of medicine distribution can more accurately judge the resident based on each of the facial images 63.

[Second embodiment]
As described above, in the drug distribution work of step S7 executed in the geriatric health facility B, the drug is distributed while the drug and the resident are verified by the person in charge of drug distribution. Hereinafter, in this embodiment, a configuration will be described that aims to suppress human errors during drug distribution by supporting the drug distribution work by a drug distribution person.

First, the configuration of the drug distribution support system 100 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 14. In the drug distribution support system 100, the same components as those in the drug distribution support system 10 (see FIG. 1) are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the explanation thereof will be omitted.

As shown in FIG. 14, the dispensing support device 1 includes a USB port 18. A USB memory 19 can be attached to and detached from the USB port 18, and data can be written to and read from the USB memory 19. Note that it is also possible to use not only the USB memory 19 but also other recording media such as a CD, DVD, or BD.

In addition, in the dispensing support device 1, the control unit 11 functions as a medicine distribution data output unit 114, a leftover medicine information input unit 115, and a leftover medicine notification unit 116 by executing various processes according to the dispensing support program. do. The medicine distribution data output section 114 is an example of a medicine distribution data output means, the leftover medicine information input section 115 is an example of a leftover medicine information input means, and the leftover medicine notification section 116 is an example of a leftover medicine notification means.

The medicine distribution data output section 114 is used when packaging medicine into each of the medicine packages 81, and outputs medicine distribution data based on the prescription data stored in the prescription data storage section 121 to the USB port 18. However, it is possible to record on the USB memory 19 from the USB port 18. In particular, the drug distribution data output unit 114 can output the drug distribution data in units of the drug distribution group. Specifically, when the geriatric health facility B is designated by a user operation on the operating device 15, the drug distribution data output unit 114 outputs prescription data corresponding to each resident of the geriatric health facility B. It is possible to extract and output drug distribution data based on the prescription data. Thereby, it is possible to easily utilize only necessary prescription data among the prescription data.

Therefore, the data storage section 12 of the dispensing support device 1 stores a facility master and a resident master, and the drug distribution data output section 114 stores necessary information based on the facility master and resident master. Extract the prescription data. Note that the drug distribution data output unit 114 can also output the drug distribution data by adding a part or all of the information of the facility master and the resident master.

Here, FIG. 15 is a diagram showing an example of the facility master and the resident master. The registration work for each of the facility master and the resident master is performed using the display device 14, the operating device 15, etc. of the dispensing support device 1, for example, during initial setting or master maintenance of the dispensing support device 1. It will be done.

As shown in FIG. 15, in the facility master, a facility code, a facility name, and a print format corresponding to each of the geriatric health facilities B are stored in association with each other. The facility code and the facility name are examples of identification information for identifying the geriatric health facility B, and the printing format is the type of format of the item to be printed on the drug package 81 in the drug packaging device 3. This is information for identifying. Note that the facility code is, for example, the same as the delivery destination ID (see FIG. 2).

Further, as shown in FIG. 15, each of the resident masters is stored in association with each of the geriatric health facilities B registered in the facility master. Specifically, the resident master stores the user ID, patient name, resident ID, group, and print format corresponding to each resident. The patient ID, the patient name, and the resident ID are examples of identification information for identifying a resident of the geriatric health facility B. In particular, the user ID is identification information registered in advance in the dispensing support device 1 on the side of the pharmacy A to identify the resident (the user), and the resident ID is the identification information registered in advance in the dispensing support device 1 on the side of the pharmacy A, This is identification information that is registered in advance in the medicine distribution support device 5 on the B side to identify the resident. For example, by providing the resident master stored in the master storage unit 521 from the nursing facility B side to the pharmacy A side, the resident master of the dispensing support device 1 is provided on the pharmacy A side. The resident ID is registered. Note that the correspondence between the user ID and the resident ID in the resident master is the same as the correspondence between the user ID and the resident ID in the conversion information used in the medication distribution support device 5. It is.

Further, the group is identification information for identifying groups classified as a series of drug distribution groups based on wards, rooms, floors, etc. in the geriatric health facility B. In addition, in the geriatric health facility B, the work of dispensing medicine to the residents is performed for each group. Furthermore, the printing format is information for identifying the type of format such as items and arrangement to be printed on the medicine packet 81, medicine bag 82, etc. in the medicine packaging device 3. Note that the print format registered in the resident master is preferentially adopted even if the print format is registered in the facility master, for example.

In the medication distribution support system 100 configured in this way, it is possible to grasp the correspondence relationship between the user ID and the resident ID in the prescription support device 1. Therefore, the control unit 11 causes the medicine packaging device 3 to print the resident ID on the medicine package 81 instead of or together with the medicine taker ID included in the first medicine distribution information. It is possible that

Further, the leftover medicine information input unit 115 can input leftover medicine information output by a leftover medicine information output unit 516, which will be described later, in the medicine distribution support device 5. For example, the remaining drug information input unit 115 requests the drug distribution support device 5 to transmit the remaining drug information via the network N1, the network N2, etc., and the drug distribution support device 5 transmits the remaining drug information. Obtain the remaining medicine information. The remaining drug information input unit 115 can also read and input the remaining drug information from a recording medium such as the USB memory 19, and can input the remaining drug information sent from the drug distribution support device 5 by e-mail or the like. It is also possible to input drug information.

The leftover medicine notification unit 116 notifies information on leftover medicines that can be used as prescription medicines included in the prescription data, based on the leftover medicine information input by the leftover medicine information input unit 115 and the prescription data. It is possible. For example, in the prescription data issuance process (step S1 in FIG. 4), the leftover medicine notification unit 116 can display a warning that there is a usable leftover medicine in the prescription data to be dispensed. It is. In addition, in the dispensing support device 1, the control unit 11 can also display the remaining medicine information on the display device 14 or the like at an arbitrary timing according to the user's operation of the operating device 15. Further, the remaining drug notification unit 116 can also transmit the remaining drug information to a host system (not shown) such as the electronic medical record system or the prescription input terminal that is communicably connected to the dispensing support device 1. It is. Thereby, it is possible to notify the remaining medicine information to the doctor using the host system and prompt him to correct the prescription data, thereby suppressing the waste of medicines. In addition, the pharmacist at the pharmacy A side refers to the leftover drug information displayed on the dispensing support device 1, informs the doctor of the amount of leftover medicine, and inputs a prescription excluding the leftover medicine when inputting a new prescription. It is possible to prompt the user to modify (reissue) the entered prescription by removing leftover drugs.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 14, the drug distribution support device 5 includes a USB port 58. The USB memory 19 can be attached to and removed from the USB port 58, and data can be written to and read from the USB memory 19.

Further, in the drug distribution support device 5, the data storage section 52 includes a drug distribution data storage section 523. The drug distribution data storage unit 523 stores the drug distribution data output from the dispensing support device 1 and read from the USB memory 19 by the USB port 58.

In addition, in the medicine distribution support device 5, the control unit 51 executes various processes according to the medicine distribution support program to input a medicine distribution data input unit 514, a medication completion input unit 515, and a remaining medicine information output unit 516. functions as The medication distribution data input unit 514 is an example of a medication distribution data input unit, the medication completion input unit 515 is an example of a medication completion input unit, and the remaining medication information output unit 516 is an example of a remaining medication information output unit.

The drug distribution data input unit 514 is capable of inputting the drug distribution data outputted by the drug dispensing support device 1 to the drug distribution support device 5 provided in the geriatric health facility B, which is the delivery destination of the drug. It is. Specifically, the drug distribution data input unit 514 reads the drug distribution data from the USB memory 19 connected to the USB port 58 in response to a user operation of the operating device 55, thereby inputting the drug distribution data. Input to the drug distribution support device 5.

The medication completion input unit 515 receives an input operation for medication completion for each patient displayed on the resident list screen 211 (see FIG. 23), which will be described later, by the display device 54 or the mobile terminal 6. Specifically, the medication completion input unit 515 receives an input operation from the user to the operating device 55 or the mobile terminal 6 to indicate completion of medication.

The leftover drug information output unit 516 is capable of accepting an input operation for leftover drug information regarding leftover medicines that have not been taken by the person taking the medication, and can output the leftover drug information. Specifically, the remaining drug information output unit 516 receives an input operation of the remaining drug information on the operating device 55 or the mobile terminal 6. The remaining drug information output section 516 stores the remaining drug information in the data storage section 52 and outputs the remaining drug information to the dispensing support device 1 via the network N1, the network N2, etc.

Further, in the drug distribution support device 5, the control unit 11 can register information on the geriatric health facility B and residents as initial setting information in response to user operations on the operating device 55 or the mobile terminal 6. Here, FIG. 16 is a diagram showing an example of a facility registration screen, and FIG. 17 is a diagram showing an example of a resident registration screen.

As shown in FIG. 16, the control unit 11 displays a facility registration screen for registering a facility code and a facility name in response to a user's operation on the operating device 55. On the facility registration screen, after the facility code and the facility name are input, by operating a registration key, these pieces of information are stored in the master storage unit 521 as a facility master. Note that the facility code and the facility name are the same as the facility code and facility name registered in the facility master (see FIG. 15) of the dispensing support device 1.

Further, as shown in FIG. 17, the control unit 11 displays a resident registration screen for registering resident information in response to a user's operation of the operating device 55. Specifically, on the resident registration screen, it is possible to input the resident ID, resident's name, pseudonym, date of birth, gender, management classification, group, room code, comment, and facial image (photo). . In the management category, for example, it is selected whether or not it is self-management in which the user manages the administration of medicine by himself or not. The management categories include ``medication confirmation required,'' which requires dispensing the medication when taking the medication and confirming whether or not the medication has been taken, and ``medication confirmation required,'' which requires medication to be handed over to the person taking the medication for a specified period of time; ``Medication confirmation required (self-management),'' which requires confirmation of the presence or absence of medication, and ``Medication confirmation not required (self-management),'' in which medicines for a specified period of time are left with the patient and there is no need to confirm whether the medication is delivered or taken. )” etc. In the comment, matters to be noted about the resident can be arbitrarily written, and the comment can be displayed on the resident confirmation screen 213 (see FIG. 25), which will be described later. In addition, methods for inputting facial images (photographs) include import input in which a pre-taken photograph is selected from a list and imported, and input using the camera 62 of the mobile terminal 6 when registering resident information. There is a shooting input to shoot. Then, on the resident registration screen, after the resident information is input, by operating a registration key, that information is stored in the master storage unit 521 as the resident master. Note that the resident ID, resident name (pseudonym), group, etc. included in the resident information are the resident ID and medication registered in the resident master (see FIG. 15) of the dispensing support device 1. Same as user name and group. Furthermore, when the data key is operated on the resident registration screen, the control unit 11 imports or exports the resident's information in accordance with the subsequent operation.

Hereinafter, various processes executed in the drug distribution support system 100 configured as described above will be explained. The drug distribution support system 100 also performs the drug packaging process (see FIG. 8), the storage verification process (see FIG. 10), the delivery verification process (see FIG. 11), and the receipt process (see FIG. 11). (see FIG. 12), etc. are executed.

[Prescription data issuance process]
First, with reference to FIG. 18, the prescription data issuing process executed by the drug distribution support system 100 will be described. Regarding the prescription data issuance process, the same reference numerals are given to the same processing steps as those explained in FIG. 5, and the explanation thereof will be omitted.

<Step S111>
As shown in FIG. 18, when the prescription data issuance operation is performed in step S11, in the subsequent step S111, the control unit 11 executes a remaining drug information input process for inputting the remaining drug information. . Here, the step S111 is executed by the remaining medicine information input section 115 of the control section 11.

For example, in step S111, the control unit 11 requests the medicine distribution support device 5 to transmit the remaining medicine information via the network N1, the network N2, etc. Then, the control unit 11 receives the remaining medicine information transmitted from the medicine distribution support device 5 via the network N1, the network N2, etc. Note that the remaining drug information is automatically transmitted from the drug distribution support device 5 at preset intervals or at predetermined timing via the network N1, the network N2, etc., and the remaining drug information is sent to the remaining drug information input section. 115 may acquire the remaining medicine information. Further, the remaining drug information may be recorded in a recording medium such as the USB memory 19 in the medication distribution support device 5, and the remaining drug information may be read from the recording medium such as the USB memory 19 in the dispensing support device 1. Conceivable. Thereby, the remaining medicine information can be utilized by the dispensing support device 1 without cooperation via the network N1 and the network N2.

<Step S112>
Next, in step S112, the control unit 11 notifies information on leftover medicines that can be used as prescription medicines included in the prescription data, based on the leftover medicine information and the prescription data acquired in step S111. do. Here, the step 112 is executed by the remaining medicine notification section 116 of the control section 11. Further, in step S112, the control unit 11 determines whether the prescription date in the prescription data is within the expiration date of the remaining medicine included in the leftover medicine information, and determines whether the prescription date is within the expiration date. It is also conceivable to display on the display device 14, etc.

For example, in step S112, the control unit 11 determines, based on the leftover medicine information and the prescription data, which medicines in the prescription data do not need to be packaged because they exist as leftover medicines in the leftover medicine information. do. Then, information on the medicines existing as the remaining medicines is displayed on the display device 14 or the like. As a result, a pharmacist or the like who refers to the display device 14 can easily recognize that the remaining medicine is available for use, and can, for example, request the doctor to correct the prescription data. It becomes possible to suppress waste. Specifically, it is conceivable that the number of days to take or the number of times to take the drug may be adjusted after confirming the remaining drug information.

In addition, at this time, if the doctor excludes the dosing period or medicine for which the leftover medicine can be used from the prescription data, it is assumed that the leftover medicine will be used, so the medicine will be delivered to the nursing care facility B. There will be a drug shortage. Therefore, for example, when the packaging data is generated in step S12, the packaging data is generated so that an empty medicine package 81 is issued even for a drug that is excluded from packaging due to the presence of the remaining medicine. It is possible that Specifically, in the package data corresponding to the drug that is excluded from the package due to the presence of the leftover drug, in order to identify the time to take the drug and the leftover drug to be used at that time. It is conceivable that the remaining drug identification information (for example, the timing of taking the drug) may be included.

Then, in the medicine packaging device 3, the dosing time when the leftover medicine is to be used and the leftover medicine identification information are printed on the empty medicine package 81. For example, it is conceivable that a message such as "Please take the medicine after dinner on XX month and XX day after dinner on XX month and XX day" may be displayed on the empty medicine package 81. Thereby, in the geriatric health facility B, by referring to the empty medicine package 81, it is possible to determine the remaining medicine to be used for each of the dosing periods. Note that it is conceivable that the determination as to whether or not the remaining medicine can be used is made for each dosing period, that is, for each medicine package 81. Thereby, it is not necessary to take the medicine in the medicine package 81 and the medicine remaining as a medicine at the same time, and it is possible to suppress the occurrence of medicine dispensing errors. Further, when the packaging data is generated, information regarding drugs excluded from packaging targets may be inputted by operating the operating device 15. Further, the control unit 11 of the dispensing support device 1 determines that when the doctor makes a correction to the effect that the remaining medicine should be used, the remaining medicine is excluded from the packaging target based on the prescription data before and after the correction. It may also be possible to determine when to take drugs.

<Step S14>
Thereafter, in step S14, the control unit 11 waits for an operation to output medicine distribution data to be used at the geriatric health facility B (S14: No side). Specifically, the control unit 11 determines whether or not an operation for outputting the drug distribution data has been performed by a user operation on the operating device 15. Here, if it is determined that the drug distribution data output operation has been performed (S14: Yes side), the process moves to step S15.

<Step S15>
In step S15, the control unit 11 generates the drug distribution data based on the prescription data issued in step S11, outputs the drug distribution data to the USB port 18, and stores the drug distribution data in the USB memory. Recorded on 19th. That is, the control unit 11 outputs the drug distribution data in units of the geriatric health facility B, which is the drug distribution group, or the group, similarly to the prescription data and the package data. Thereby, by delivering the USB memory 19 to the drug distribution support device 5 together with the drug package 81, the drug bag 82, etc., the drug distribution data stored in the USB memory 19 can be transferred to the drug distribution support device 5. By using this system, it is possible to improve the efficiency of drug distribution work by drug distribution personnel and to reduce drug distribution errors. Further, since the drug distribution data is generated for the prescription data for which the issuing operation was performed in step S11, the effort of resetting extraction conditions for generating the drug distribution data is reduced, and , generation of the drug distribution data that is to be dispensed and that is different from the prescription data is prevented.

The drug distribution data includes resident ID, resident (person receiving the drug) name, group, pseudonym, drug code (YJ code), drug name, date of administration, timing of administration (dosage), dose, dosage form, and packaging. It includes classification, information related to side effects, maximum daily dose (maximum number of times), etc. Here, the single packaging classification is a classification for identifying medicines packaged in the same medicine package 81. The side effect related information is information related to side effects described in the drug package insert, or information related to side effects arbitrarily registered in advance at the pharmacy A or the like in association with the drug. In addition, in the drug distribution support system 100, information such as resident ID and group managed by the drug distribution support device 5 is also registered in the resident master in the drug dispensing support device 1 on the pharmacy A side. . Therefore, the control unit 11 can refer to the resident master and add information such as the resident ID and the group to the medicine distribution data and output the data. As a result, even when drugs are exchanged between a plurality of pharmacies A and a plurality of geriatric health facilities B, the drug distribution support device 5 can identify a resident based on the drug distribution data. It is possible. Note that the drug distribution data includes the patient ID, and in each of the geriatric health facilities B, the drug distribution support device 5 uses the drug distribution data based on the correspondence between the patient ID and the resident ID (the conversion information). Another embodiment may be to determine the resident corresponding to the user ID.

Here, FIG. 19 is a diagram showing an example of drug distribution data used in the geriatric health facility B1. As shown in FIG. 19, the drug distribution data includes, in addition to the package data (see FIG. 6), resident ID, resident (person taking the drug) name, group, dosage form, and package classification. It is. Regarding the one-pack classification, in the example shown in FIG. 19, both medicines M1 and M3 of "Yuyama Ichiro" have the one-pack classification "1" and are packaged in the same medicine package 81. is shown, indicating that medicines M7 and M8 of "Saburo Yuyama" have packaging classifications of "1" and "2" and are packaged in different medicine packages 81. Further, although omitted in FIG. 19, as described above, the drug distribution data also includes information related to side effects, maximum daily dose (maximum number of times), and the like.

Note that the USB memory 19 is an example of a recording medium used to transfer the drug distribution data, and various recording media such as another flash memory or a hard disk drive may be used instead of the USB memory 19. It is possible. Further, in this embodiment, a configuration in which the drug distribution data can be moved using a recording medium such as the USB memory 19 will be described, but if the drug distribution data can be transmitted to the drug distribution support device 5, The method is not limited to this. For example, a configuration is also conceivable in which the drug distribution data output unit 114 outputs the drug distribution data to the communication interface 13, and the communication interface 13 transmits the data to the drug distribution support device 5 through the network N1 such as the Internet. . Note that a configuration in which the drug distribution data output unit 114 can transmit and output the prescription data corresponding to the drug distribution data to the drug distribution support device 5 is also considered.

Further, the control unit 11 outputs the drug distribution data to a storage unit such as a server to which the dispensing support device 1 and the drug distribution support device 5 are communicably connected via the network N1 and the network N2. It is also possible to store the information by doing so. That is, a configuration can be considered in which the dispensing support device 1 and the drug distribution support device 5 share the drug distribution data on the cloud. Thereby, the control unit 51 of the medicine distribution support device 5 can read and input the medicine distribution data from a storage unit such as the server. Further, in the medicine packaging device 3, the medicine pack sheet in which the medicine packs 81 corresponding to the respective dosing times are successively outputted is output for each user, and the medicine packs in which information for drug testing is printed on the medicine pack sheet. 81 is added, it is conceivable that a code such as a one-dimensional code or a two-dimensional code indicating the drug distribution data regarding the user is printed out on the medicine package 81. Thereby, in the medicine distribution support device 5, the control unit 51 can input the medicine distribution data for each person taking the medicine by reading the code from the medicine package 81 for testing the medicine. Note that the code may be printed not only on the medicine package 81 but also on a paper medium delivered together with the medicine package 81, for example. The medication distribution data included in the code also includes a medication start time, which is the first medication date, and a medication end time, which is the final medication date, in the current medication distribution data for the person taking the medication. In addition, instead of the drug distribution data, the prescription data (for example, drug name, usage, dose, start date, end date, etc.) for the person taking the drug is printed out on the drug package 81 for drug testing. It is also possible that the code is included in the above code.

Further, in the dispensing support device 1, when the package data is generated based on the prescription data assuming the use of leftover medicine as described above, the control unit 11 controls the administration of the leftover medicine. It is conceivable to output the drug distribution data including the remaining drug identification information indicating the relationship between the timing and the new dosing timing. In the medicine distribution support device 5, when the code 811 attached to the medicine package 81 corresponding to the leftover medicine is read, the control unit 51 refers to the leftover medicine identification information and The dosing time corresponding to medicine package 81 is recognized as the new dosing time. As a result, even when leftover medicine is used, the medicine distribution support system 100 can check the dosing time and resident corresponding to the medicine package 81, or manage whether the resident has taken the medicine or not. becomes possible.

Here, a configuration has been described in which the drug distribution data can be output at the timing when the packet data is output in the prescription data issuing process shown in FIG. It is also possible to output the information at any timing according to the operation of the operating device 15. Specifically, the control unit 11 waits for an operation to set extraction conditions for extracting prescription data to be output from among the prescription data stored in the prescription data storage unit 121. For example, in the dispensing support device 1, the control unit 11 displays a setting screen for setting the extraction conditions on the display device 14 in response to a setting start operation on the operating device 15. Then, the control unit 11 sets the extraction conditions according to the operation of the operating device 15 according to the setting screen. For example, one or more conditions can be set among the facility code, facility name, group, patient ID, patient name, and resident ID. Here, when determining that the extraction conditions have been set, the control section 11 generates the drug distribution data corresponding to the extraction conditions based on the prescription data stored in the prescription data storage section 121.

Specifically, when the facility code is selected, from the prescription data stored in the prescription data storage unit 121, the information for each patient residing in the geriatric health facility B corresponding to the facility code is determined. Prescription data is extracted. Further, when the group is selected as the extraction condition, prescription data of each user belonging to the group is extracted from the prescription data stored in the prescription data storage section 121. Then, the control unit 11 extracts some or all of the predetermined items from the prescription data as the drug distribution data. As a result, the amount of data can be reduced by omitting unnecessary information as the drug distribution data from the prescription data, or the prescription data can be used while minimizing the use of the user's personal information. is possible. Thereafter, the control unit 11 outputs the drug distribution data in the same manner as in step S15. Thereby, the dispensing support device 1 can output the medication distribution data at any timing, not only at the timing at which the prescription data is issued.

[Verification process during drug distribution]
Next, with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 20, a description will be given of the drug distribution verification process executed by the control unit 51 of the drug distribution support device 5 in the drug distribution support system 100.

<Step S81>
In step S81, the control unit 51 determines whether a predetermined medicine distribution start operation has been performed on the operating device 55 or the mobile terminal 6. Here, if it is determined that the medicine distribution start operation has been performed, the process moves to step S82, and if the medicine distribution start operation has not been performed, the process moves to step S811.

By the way, in the medicine distribution start operation, it is conceivable that a predetermined medicine distribution person such as a staff member performs a login operation. In this case, it is conceivable that the data storage unit 52 is set with identification codes, passwords, etc. of each of the drug distribution personnel. For example, the control unit 51 may cause the reading terminal 7 to read a code such as a one-dimensional code or a two-dimensional code written on a name tag owned by the person in charge of drug distribution after the medicine distribution start operation is performed. , if the information on the code matches the identification code of the person in charge of drug distribution, it is conceivable that the person in charge of drug distribution is allowed to log in. Furthermore, the control unit 51 may consider that, when the password corresponding to the identification code is input after the identification code is read, the control unit 51 verifies the password and then logs in the medicine dispensing person. It will be done. Thereby, the control unit 51 may limit the information to be displayed in the medication matching process for each person in charge of medication distribution, or limit the information displayed in the medication matching process for each person in charge of medication distribution. This makes it possible to change the range of residents (for example, only the residents in charge of the resident).

<Steps S811 to S812>
In steps S811 and S812, an input process for inputting the drug distribution data output from the dispensing support device 1 is executed. Here, steps S811 to S812 are executed by the drug distribution data input unit 514.

Specifically, first in step S811, the control unit 51 waits for input timing of the medicine distribution data (S811: No side). For example, when the USB memory 19 is attached to the USB port 58 and a user operation is performed on the operating device 55, the control unit 51 determines that it is time to input the drug distribution data. Furthermore, when the communication interface 53 receives the medicine distribution data via the network N2 or the like, the control unit 51 determines that it is the input timing for the medicine distribution data. If it is determined that the input timing of the drug distribution data has arrived (S811: Yes), the process moves to step S812.

In step S812, the control unit 51 inputs the drug distribution data to the dispensing support device 1. For example, the control unit 51 stores information necessary to execute the medication matching process in the medication distribution data storage unit 523 according to a predetermined database format. Thereby, the drug distribution support device 5 can perform various processes using the drug distribution data used during dispensing in the drug dispensing support device 1.

<Step S82>
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S81 that a predetermined medicine distribution start operation has been performed on the operating device 55 or the mobile terminal 6, in the subsequent step S82, the control unit 51 An initial screen 210 (an example of a first display screen) to be referred to when dispensing medicine is displayed. Specifically, the control unit 51 causes the display device 54 to display the initial screen 210 when the drug distribution start operation is performed by the operating device 55. Furthermore, when the medicine distribution start operation is performed by the mobile terminal 6, the control unit 51 causes the initial screen 210 to be displayed on the display unit of the mobile terminal 6. Note that in the subsequent processing as well, the operation by the operating device 55 is reflected on the display on the display device 54, and the operation on the mobile terminal 6 is reflected on the display on the display section of the mobile terminal 6.

Here, FIG. 21 is an example of the initial screen 210. As shown in FIG. 21, the control unit 51 displays selection keys for selecting the timing of the next dose based on the drug distribution data. Specifically, in the example shown in FIG. 21, the control unit 51 displays the dosing period corresponding to today on the initial screen 210 as a selection candidate. In the initial screen 210, "before", "after", and "between" are displayed in a tree for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, making it easy for the person in charge of drug distribution to find the desired timing of administration. Note that another embodiment may include a configuration in which the date and time of administration can be selected in the first stage of the initial screen 210.

Further, as shown in FIG. 21, the control unit 51 causes the initial screen 210 to display a dosing time when there is a medicine to be taken and a dosing time when there is no medicine to be taken in different display modes. This allows the person in charge of drug distribution to easily determine whether there is a drug to be taken at each dosing time. Note that the difference in the background pattern of the dosing period in FIG. 21 indicates that there is a difference in the display mode. For example, dosing times when there is a drug to be taken (such as after dinner and between dinner in Figure 21) are highlighted, and times when there is no medicine to be taken (such as before breakfast, after breakfast, and between breakfast in Figure 21) are highlighted. ) may not be highlighted. It is also conceivable that the display color for a dosing period when there is a medicine to be taken is different from the display color for a dosing period when there is no medicine to be taken. Furthermore, it is also conceivable that the display size of a dosing period when there is a medicine to be taken is large, and the display size of a dosing period when there is no medicine to be taken is small.

Further, as shown in FIG. 21, the control unit 51 may display the dosing period closest to the current time in a different display mode from the other dosing times on the initial screen 210. Thereby, it is possible to suppress errors in selecting the dosing time by the person in charge of dispensing medicine, and to reduce the effort required to search for the dosing time to select. In order to realize such a display process, the drug distribution support device 5 stores information such as the dosing period name, dosing time, dosing period code, and dosing category corresponding to each dosing period in the data storage unit 52. Timing information is stored in advance. Thereby, the control unit 51 can determine the current dosage time based on the dosage timing information. The dosing timing code is information indicating the same content as the dosing timing code printed on the medicine package 81, and is unified information commonly used by the dispensing support device 1 and the medication distribution support device 5. . Note that the control unit 51 can change the dosing timing information in response to user operations during initial settings of the drug distribution support device 5 and the like.

By the way, although FIG. 21 shows the initial screen 210 in which the dosing times are displayed in a tree, as another example of the initial screen 210 for selecting the dosing times, for example, as shown in FIG. It is also conceivable that the images may be individually arranged and displayed. Furthermore, the control unit 51 is configured to be able to arbitrarily set the display position, display size, and display color of each of the dosing periods on the initial screen 210 in accordance with the operation of the operating device 55 or the mobile terminal 6. is possible. Further, a configuration is also conceivable in which the control unit 51 can arbitrarily set the type of dosing period displayed on the initial screen 210 in accordance with the operation of the operating device 55 or the mobile terminal 6. Thereby, for example, the user can arbitrarily customize the initial screen 210 to create a screen configuration that is easy for the user to view, or eliminate unnecessary information from being displayed on the initial screen 210.

Furthermore, it is conceivable that medicines are brought into the geriatric health facility B not only from the specific pharmacy A but also from other pharmacies, and the distribution of the medicines is managed. Therefore, in the drug distribution support device 5, the control unit 51 can also combine the drug distribution data acquired from a plurality of pharmacies A. Further, in the drug distribution support device 5, a configuration can be considered in which the control unit 51 can arbitrarily input the drug distribution data according to the operation of the operating device 55 or the mobile terminal 6. Specifically, the control unit 51 is configured to register information such as the resident, medical institution, doctor, usage (time of administration), drug type, dose, and comments in accordance with the operation of the operating device 55. A registration screen is displayed, and the information entered on the registration screen is input as the drug distribution data.

<Step S83>
Then, in step S83, the control unit 51 waits for selection of a dosing period to be taken (S83: No side). Here, if it is determined that the dosing time has been selected (S83: Yes side), the process moves to step S84.

Specifically, the control unit 51 determines that the dosing time has been selected when the operation for selecting the dosing time on the initial screen 210 is performed using the operating device 55 or the operating unit of the mobile terminal 6. . In addition, the control unit 51 uses a one-dimensional code indicating the dosing time that is attached in advance to the medicine distribution box in which the medicine packet 81 corresponding to each dosing time is stored, by the mobile terminal 6 or the reading terminal 7. When a code such as a two-dimensional code is read, it may be determined that the time for taking the drug has been selected.

By the way, the medicine distribution support system 100 includes an automatic storage device that automatically stores medicines such as the medicine packages 81 corresponding to the respective dosing times of a plurality of users into the medicine distribution boxes corresponding to the respective dosing times. The configuration can also be considered. As a result, medicines prescribed to a plurality of users are automatically stored in the medicine distribution box at the same time according to the time of administration, so that the medicine packages 81 are stored in the medicine distribution box at the pharmacy A or the elderly health facility B. The trouble of accommodating it is omitted. Note that the automatic storage device may be mounted on the medicine packaging device 3. By the way, the medicine distribution box is, for example, a box including a plurality of partitioned storage parts, but may also be a so-called blister pack. The blister pack is a storage member in which a plurality of closed packaging parts are formed by joining a packaging member having a plurality of packaging regions with one side open to a flat member. Further, the blister pack is formed with dotted cut lines (perforations) for easily separating each of the packaging parts.

Here, the control unit 51 determines whether or not the dosing time selected in step S83 is an appropriate dosing time corresponding to the current date and time clocked by the drug distribution support device 5, In such a case, it is possible to notify that fact. Specifically, in the medication distribution support device 5, a dosing time or a dosing time period corresponding to each dosing period is set in advance and stored in the data storage unit 52. For example, the dosing time corresponding to the dosing time "after lunch" is set to "13:00," the dosing time corresponding to the dosing time "between lunch" is set to "15:00," and the dosing time corresponding to the dosing time "before dinner." It is conceivable that the time slot for taking the drug is set to "6:00 p.m." In this case, the control unit 51 determines whether the current time is within a predetermined allowable range, such as 30 minutes before or after the dosing time corresponding to the dosing time selected in step S83. is possible. Note that the current time is, for example, the time measured as the system clock of the drug distribution support device 5, or the time that can be obtained from a predetermined time notification organization via the network N2 or the like. In addition, the dosing time corresponding to the dosing time "after lunch" is set to "12:30-13:00", and the dosing time corresponding to the dosing time "between lunch" is set to "15:00 to 16:00". It is conceivable that the dosing time corresponding to the dosing time "before dinner" is set to "18:30-19:00." In this case, the control unit 51 may determine whether the current time is in the dosing time period corresponding to the dosing time selected in step S83.

Furthermore, the control unit 51 controls the intake timing selected on the initial screen 210 and the one-dimensional code or two-dimensional code attached to the medicine distribution box read by the mobile terminal 6 or the reading terminal 7. A configuration is also conceivable in which it is possible to check the code and the time of administration, and to notify that fact if the check results do not match. In this case, in the medication distribution support device 5, the control unit 51 controls the one-dimensional information including information to be attached to the medication distribution box, such as the date and time of administration, timing of administration, and group, in response to the operation of the operating device 55. It is conceivable that a code such as a code or a two-dimensional code can be printed on a label or the like by any printer. The control unit 51 also controls the date and time of dosing selected before displaying the initial screen 210 and the date and time of dosing of the code attached to the medicine distribution box read by the mobile terminal 6 or the reading terminal 7. A configuration is also conceivable in which it is possible to collate the data, and to notify that fact when the collation results do not match. Similarly, the control unit 51 can check the group displayed on the initial screen 210 and the group of the code attached to the medicine distribution box read by the mobile terminal 6 or the reading terminal 7. , a configuration that can notify that when the comparison results are inconsistent is also possible.

<Step S84>
In step S84, the control unit 51 causes the display device 54 or the display unit of the mobile terminal 6 to display a tenant list screen 211 (an example of a second display screen) on which a list of residents is displayed. Here, FIG. 23 is a diagram showing an example of the resident list screen 211. Specifically, the control unit 51 controls the resident list screen based on the resident master stored in the master storage unit 521 and the medicine distribution data stored in the medicine distribution data storage unit 523. 211 is displayed.

In particular, as shown in FIG. 23, the control unit 51 selects, on the resident list screen 211, residents who have drugs to take at the dosing period determined to have been selected in step S83, A resident who does not have a drug to be treated is displayed in a different display mode. That is, by executing steps S81 to S84, the control unit 51 can display the relationship between each resident and each dosing period. Here, the display processing is executed by the display control section 511, and the display control section 511 is an example of prescription display means. In particular, the display control section 511 when displaying the initial screen 210 for selecting the dosing time in steps S81 to S82 is an example of a first display processing means, and the initial screen 210 in steps S83 to S84 is The display control unit 511 is a second display processing means when displaying the resident list screen 211 that displays the necessity of dispensing medicine for each resident at the dosing time according to the selection of the dosing time in step 210. This is an example.

Thereby, the person in charge of medication distribution can easily determine which residents are required to take the medicine at each dosage period using the initial screen 210 and the resident list screen 211. Note that the difference in the background patterns of the residents in FIG. 23 indicates that there is a difference in the display mode. For example, it is conceivable that a resident who has a medicine to take (such as "Ichiro Yuyama") is highlighted, and a resident who has no medicine to take (such as "Saburo Yuyama") is not highlighted. It is also conceivable that the display color for a resident who has medicine to take is different from the display color for a resident who does not have medicine to take. Furthermore, it is also conceivable that the display size for residents who have medicine to take is large, and the display size for residents who do not have medicine to take is small.

In addition, on the resident list screen 211, status information regarding the resident's medication status includes, in addition to the presence or absence of medicines to be taken during the aforementioned dosing period, "not taking medication," "completed medication," and "going out." , "Medication not taken", "Self-management not confirmed", "Self-management not confirmed", "Self-management confirmed", "At work", "Unable to take medication", "Hospitalized", etc. may be displayed. Conceivable. That is, on the resident list screen 211, these pieces of status information can be displayed in different display modes such as different colors or display sizes.

For example, in the example shown in FIG. 23, "Yuyama Hachiro" is displayed in a display mode corresponding to "medication completion", and a resident such as "Yuyama Kuro" is displayed in a display mode corresponding to "medication not taken". ing. This allows the person in charge of medication distribution to easily determine for each resident whether or not medication is necessary at the selected dosing period. In addition, in the example shown in FIG. 23, "Nanata Yuyama" is displayed in a display mode corresponding to "going out", and the person in charge of dispensing the medicine is not able to handle the situation because "Nanata Yuyama" is out or staying overnight. It is possible to easily determine that drug delivery is not necessary. Here, status information such as whether each resident goes out or not is stored in the master storage unit 521 in advance by the control unit 51 in accordance with the operation of the operating device 55 or the operating unit of the mobile terminal 6. It is conceivable that it will be remembered as part of the master.

In addition, "at work" indicates that the resident is at work, "unable to take medication" indicates that the resident has a health condition that makes it difficult to take medication, and "in hospital" indicates that the resident is at work. Indicates that the person is admitted to the hospital. Further, "untaken medication completed" indicates that the patient has not taken the medicine, but the medicine is treated as a leftover medicine and the medication has been completed. Furthermore, "no self-management confirmation" indicates that there is no need to confirm whether or not the medication has been taken since the medication is stored in advance for a predetermined period by the medication recipient and the medication is self-administered. On the other hand, "self-administration not confirmed" and "self-administration confirmed" indicate that the user is self-administered by entrusting the drug to the user for a predetermined period of time, but it is necessary to confirm whether or not the user is taking the medication. "Management not confirmed" indicates that medication has not been confirmed yet, and "Self-management confirmed" indicates that medication has already been confirmed and an input operation to that effect has been performed.

In the resident list screen 211 shown in FIG. 23, residents who are not displayed on the same screen can be displayed by scrolling, and the display order of residents in the resident list screen 211 is, for example, alphabetical order or alphabetical order. be. In addition, in response to selection of the "all" operation key on the resident list screen 211, the control unit 51 changes the display of residents on the resident list screen 211 so that only residents who have not yet taken their medication are displayed. It is possible to switch between this state and a state in which all residents are displayed. Furthermore, in response to selection of the "Complete" operation key on the resident list screen 211, the control unit 51 changes the status information of the resident displayed on the resident list screen 211 to a state of "completed medication". It is conceivable to change the medicine and store the untaken medicine (medication package 81) corresponding to the dosing time in the data storage section 52 as remaining medicine information. Furthermore, when accumulating and storing the remaining medicine information in the data storage unit 52, the control unit 51 monitors the state of the tablets accommodated in the medicine package 81 without calculating the total of the remaining medicine information. Store the information as is. For example, if 1 tablet and 0.5 tablet (half tablet) of medicines for a certain resident are packaged in a medicine package 81, and there are three medicine packages 81 left, the data storage unit 52 , instead of 4.5 tablets, information on 1.5 tablets x 3 is stored as the remaining drug information.

By the way, in the drug distribution support system 100, as shown in the resident master (see FIG. 15) and the resident registration screen (see FIG. 17), it is also possible to classify the residents into a plurality of groups. be. In this case, as another embodiment, the control unit 51 may display the resident list screen 211 for each group. Here, FIG. 24 is a diagram showing an example of the resident list screen 211 when each of the residents is displayed in groups.

In the resident list screen 211 shown in FIG. 24, tabs corresponding to each group are displayed, and when the tab is selected, a list of residents belonging to the group of that tab is displayed. In this case as well, the display mode of the residents shown in FIG. 23 is the same as that of the resident list screen 211, so a description thereof will be omitted. Further, as described above, when the code attached to the medicine distribution box includes information indicating the group, the control unit 51 controls the code indicated by the code read by the mobile terminal 6 or the reading terminal 7. It is conceivable to display the resident list screen 211 corresponding to the group. The control unit 51 also selects the tab group selected on the resident list screen 211 in FIG. 24 and the group indicated by the code read from the medicine distribution box by the mobile terminal 6 or the reading terminal 7. It is also possible to consider a configuration in which it is possible to check whether or not the two match, and to notify that fact when the check results do not match.

<Step S85>
Next, in step S85, the control unit 51 waits for selection of a resident to be administered (S85: No side). Here, if it is determined that the resident has been selected (S85: Yes side), the process moves to step S86.

Specifically, the control unit 51 determines that a resident has been selected when an operation for selecting a resident on the resident list screen 211 is performed using the operating device 55 or the operating unit of the mobile terminal 6. to decide. The control unit 51 also allows the mobile terminal 6 or the reading terminal 7 to read a code such as a one-dimensional code or a two-dimensional code attached to the resident's name tag, wristband, or medicine package 81, for example. When the code is read, it may be determined that the resident corresponding to the resident ID indicated by the code has been selected. Furthermore, the control unit 51 can collate the resident selected on the resident list screen 211 with the resident indicated by the code read by the mobile terminal 6 or the reading terminal 7, and the verification result It is also possible to consider a configuration in which it is possible to notify that when there is a mismatch.

In addition, in step S85, when the menu key on the resident list screen 211 is operated, the control unit 51 changes the display on the display device 54 or the mobile terminal 6 so that the medicine distribution start operation is performed. Return to the previous menu screen, etc. Further, when the return key is operated, the control unit 51 returns the display on the display device 54 or the mobile terminal 6 to the initial screen 210.

<Step S86>
In step S86, the control unit 51 causes the display device 54 or the display unit of the mobile terminal 6 to display a tenant confirmation screen 213 for confirming the tenant determined to be selected in step S85. Specifically, the control unit 51 displays information on the resident, information on medicines to be taken, etc. on the resident confirmation screen 213 based on the resident master and the medication distribution data stored in the master storage unit 521. to be displayed. Here, FIG. 25 is a diagram showing an example of the resident confirmation screen 213.

As shown in FIG. 25, on the resident confirmation screen 213, the resident's name, face image (photo), and comment are displayed as the resident's information. Further, on the resident confirmation screen 213, usage and drug information of the drug distribution data are displayed. Thereby, the person in charge of dispensing medicine can easily understand the residents to whom the medicine is to be dispensed and the suitability of the medicine. Further, the resident confirmation screen 213 displays a confirmation key, a cancellation key, and an unused key. The confirmation key is an operation key for inputting confirmation that the tenant is appropriate. The cancel key is an operation key for canceling the selection of the resident and returning the display on the display device 54 or the display section of the mobile terminal 6 to the resident list screen 211. The non-dose key is an operation key for inputting the reason for non-medication in the case where the resident has not taken the drug and completing the drug without taking the drug. In addition, if the drug distribution confirmation data is part or all of the prescription data itself, it is possible that the contents of the drug after it has actually been dispensed (for example, the state of the package) cannot be ascertained, and in this case, , the control unit 51 may omit the display of drug information on the resident confirmation screen 213.

Further, the data storage unit 52 stores a drug master including the side effect related information regarding the side effects to be noted for each drug, and on the resident confirmation screen 213, the side effect related information of the drug taken by the resident is stored. Information may be displayed. Further, the control unit 51 may access the dispensing support device 1 through the network N1, refer to the drug master stored in the dispensing support device 1, and display the side effect related information of the drug. Conceivable. As a result, the person in charge of medication distribution can refer to the side effect related information when dispensing medication to the resident and easily understand matters to be noted regarding the resident's condition, such as when distributing medication to the resident. This makes it possible to detect things early. Further, on the resident confirmation screen 213, as information for identifying the dosing time, the dosing time code may be displayed in place of the characters indicating the dosing time, or together with the dosing time. Thereby, if the medication timing code is also printed on the medication package 81, the person in charge of medication distribution can easily confirm the medication timing by referring to the medication timing code. Furthermore, on the resident confirmation screen 213, the status information regarding the resident's medication ("not taking medication", "taking medication", "going out", "not taking medication completed", "no self-management confirmation", "self-management ``Unconfirmed,'' ``Self-management confirmed,'' ``Working,'' ``Unable to take medication,'' or ``Hospitalized,'' etc.) may be displayed. Note that if the drug master includes drug image data such as photographs of each drug, the control unit 51 can also display the drug image data on the resident confirmation screen 213.

<Step S87>
Subsequently, in step S87, the control unit 51 waits for a confirmation operation (S87: No side). Here, if it is determined that the confirmation operation has been performed, the process proceeds to step S871, and if the confirmation operation has not been performed, the process proceeds to step S88.

Specifically, the control unit 51 determines that the confirmation operation has been performed when the confirmation key on the resident confirmation screen 213 is operated. At this time, the control unit 51 displays an input screen for inputting the resident ID in response to the operation of the confirmation key, and displays the resident ID input on the input screen on the resident confirmation screen 213. It is also possible to consider a configuration in which it is possible to check the ID of the resident corresponding to the resident who has been registered, and to notify that fact if the verification result does not match. For example, if the comparison results do not match, the control unit 51 causes the display device 54 or the mobile terminal 6 to display an error message, and then returns the display screen to the resident list screen 211.

Furthermore, before displaying the resident confirmation screen 213 in step S86, the control unit 51 displays an input screen for inputting the resident ID in response to the operation of the confirmation key, and on the input screen It is also conceivable to compare the entered resident ID with the resident ID corresponding to the resident selected in step S85. In this case, the control unit 51 moves the process to the step S86 to display the resident confirmation screen 213 if the verification results match, and notifies you if the verification results do not match. is possible. Note that even in a configuration in which the control unit 51 matches the resident selected on the resident list screen 211 with the resident indicated by the code read by the mobile terminal 6 or the reading terminal 7, It is conceivable to display the resident confirmation screen 213 after it is confirmed that the comparison results match.

The control unit 51 also causes the code 811 attached to the medicine package 81 to be read by the mobile terminal 6 or the reading terminal 7, and the resident indicated by the code 811 to be displayed on the resident confirmation screen 213. It is also conceivable that it may be determined that the confirmation operation has been performed if the tenant matches the resident who has been identified. Note that if the residents do not match, the control unit 51 causes the display device 54 or the mobile terminal 6 to display an error message, and then returns the display screen to the resident list screen 211. By the way, in order to thoroughly confirm that the medicine package 81 is read by the mobile terminal 6 or the reading terminal 7, it is conceivable as another embodiment that the display of the confirmation key on the resident confirmation screen 213 is omitted.

<Step S871>
In step S871, the control unit 51 causes the display device 54 or the mobile terminal 6 to display a message urging the resident to start medication. Then, the person in charge of dispensing medicine dispenses the medicine package 81 to the resident. It is also conceivable that the resident confirmation screen 213 displays information as to whether or not the resident is self-managed as the management category of the resident. Thereby, the person in charge of dispensing medicine can easily determine the management category of the resident when dispensing the medicine package 81.

<Step S872>
Further, in step S872, the control unit 51 displays the medication distribution results for the resident displayed on the resident confirmation screen 213 in association with the medication distribution data stored in the medication distribution data storage unit 523. "Medication completion" is recorded as "Medication completion", and the process returns to step S81. As a result, when the resident list screen 211 is displayed next time, the resident's name will be displayed in a display format that indicates that medication is not required for doses that have already been taken. Here, in steps S87, S871, and S872, the process of accepting the confirmation operation as an input operation for completion of medication by each of the residents is executed by the medication completion input unit 515. Note that step S87 may be omitted. That is, when the code attached to the medicine package 81 is read and a resident is selected (S85: Yes), the resident confirmation screen 213 is displayed (S86), and the resident is identified by the code. It is also conceivable that the resident's completion of taking the medicine package 81 at the time of taking it is automatically recorded (S872).

<Step S88>
Further, in step S88, the control unit 51 waits for operation of the unused key (S88: No side). Here, if it is determined that the unused key has been operated, the process moves to step S881, and if the unused key has not been operated, the process moves to step S89. It is also conceivable that the control unit 51 displays a confirmation message such as "Is it okay if I haven't taken the medicine?" when the untaken key is operated.

<Step S881>
In step S881, as shown in FIG. 26, the control unit 51 pops up a non-medication input screen 214 on the resident confirmation screen 213 for inputting the reason why the resident did not take the drug. After displaying, the reason for non-medication inputted in the non-medication input is stored in association with the drug distribution data stored in the drug distribution data storage section 523. For example, the input of the reason for not taking medication is performed by displaying a list of previously registered reasons for not taking medication and selecting the reason for not taking medication, as shown in FIG. Here, it is conceivable that the reason for non-medication can be input by selecting from a plurality of predetermined candidates displayed in a pull-down format. The reason for not taking the medication may be, for example, being out of the house, going to bed, or refusing to take the medication. In addition, the control unit 51 associates with the medication distribution data stored in the medication distribution data storage unit 523 and displays “unmedicated medication” as the medication distribution result for the resident displayed on the resident confirmation screen 213. Record "Completed." As a result, when the resident list screen 211 is displayed next time, the resident's name will be displayed in a display format that indicates that medication is not required for the medication period for which the reason for not taking the medication has been entered. will be done.

Incidentally, it is possible that the resident has a predetermined schedule for going out (work, overnight stay, hospitalization, etc.). Therefore, it is conceivable that the medicine distribution support device 5 be configured to be able to input the resident's unmedicated schedule. Specifically, FIG. 27 is a diagram showing an example of a schedule input screen 215 for inputting a schedule for a resident's unmedicated medication. As shown in FIG. 27, on the schedule input screen 215, an arbitrary date is selected by operating the operating device 55 or the mobile terminal 6, a pre-registered dosing time is selected, and the reason for not taking the medication is selected. is input. Note that FIG. 27 shows a state in which March 12 to March 14, 2014 is selected on the schedule input screen 215. If the schedule for non-medication has been input in this way, the control unit 51, when the non-medication key is operated (S88: Yes side), omits the process of inputting the reason for non-medication in step S881. It is conceivable to display information about registered and unmedicated schedules. Furthermore, if a schedule for not taking medication has been input, the control unit 51 displays on the resident list screen 211 that the medication has been completed, thereby omitting the task of confirming that the resident has taken medication. It is also possible to do so.

<Step S882>
Then, in step S882, the control unit 51 displays the medicines that the resident should have taken as the leftover medicine information about the medicines that the resident did not take, which is displayed on the resident confirmation screen 213. The information is output together with the resident's information (medication distribution data, etc.). Here, such processing is executed by the remaining medicine information output unit 516.

Specifically, in the step S882, the control unit 51 outputs the remaining medicine information to the communication interface 53, and transmits the information from the communication interface 53 to the dispensing support device 1 through the network N2 such as the Internet. is possible. Further, as long as the remaining medicine information can be transmitted to the dispensing support device 1, the method is not limited to this. For example, the control unit 51 may record and output the information to the USB memory 19 via the USB port 58. Conceivable. As a result, in the dispensing support device 1, a doctor, pharmacist, or the like can refer to the remaining drug information when prescribing the next drug, and for example, it is possible to prevent wastage of prescribed drugs. Note that the remaining medicine information is also stored in the data storage section 52. Thereby, it becomes possible to refer to the remaining medicine information on the medicine distribution support device 5 or the mobile terminal 6 as well.

<Step S89>
In addition, in step S89, the control unit 51 waits for the operation of the cancel key (S89: No side). Here, if it is determined that the cancel key has been operated (S89: Yes), the process moves to step S84, and the resident list screen 211 is redisplayed. Note that if the cancel key is not operated (S89: No side), the process moves to step S87.

As described above, in the drug distribution support system 100, the drug distribution data is provided from the drug dispensing support device 1 to the drug distribution support device 5, so that the drug distribution support device 5 executes the drug distribution data. It becomes possible to realize displays and operations that take the drug distribution data into consideration in the drug distribution verification process and the like. This allows the person in charge of dispensing medicine to efficiently perform the work of dispensing medicine to the resident, and also suppresses drug distribution errors by the person in charge of dispensing medicine.

[Other features]
In addition, in the drug distribution support system 100, other functions as described below can also be realized by providing the drug distribution data to the drug distribution support device 5.

[Adverse reaction information input function]
For example, it is conceivable that the control unit 51 can arbitrarily input the resident's health condition, side effect status, etc. to the resident confirmation screen 213. In this case, the control unit 51 may be able to input a plurality of predetermined items in a pull-down format, taking into consideration the display space of the resident confirmation screen 213. In particular, it is also conceivable that the control unit 51 narrows down and displays side effect candidates corresponding to the medicine taken by the resident based on the side effect related information and the medicine distribution data. Thereby, on the side of the geriatric health facility B, it is possible to easily input the side effect by selecting from the candidates. Further, the control unit 51 causes the resident confirmation screen 213 to display an input start key such as the resident's health condition or side effect condition, and displays the input start key for the resident confirmation screen 213 in accordance with the operation of the input start key. It is also conceivable to display the side effect information input screen 216 as a pop-up. Here, FIG. 28 is a diagram showing an example of the side effect information input screen 216. Furthermore, when a predetermined operation for inputting side effect information is performed on a menu screen other than the resident confirmation screen 213, the control unit 51 controls the resident name, photo, etc. as shown in FIG. Displaying a resident status screen 217 on which , side effect information, comments, etc. are displayed, and displaying the side effect information input screen 216 in a pop-up when an operation for inputting side effect information on the resident status screen 217 is performed. can also be considered. The side effect information input screen 216 is also used to input arbitrary comment information for each resident in advance.

When side effect information regarding the health condition or side effect status of the resident is input on the side effect information input screen 216, the control unit 51 stores the side effect information in the data storage unit 52, and also stores the side effect information in the data storage unit 52. , may be transmitted to the dispensing support device 1 through the communication interface 53. The side effect information is recorded on a recording medium such as the USB memory 19, and the USB memory 19 is connected to the dispensing support device 1 or the host system (not shown), so that the side effect information is stored in the dispensing support device 1 or the host system (not shown). It is also conceivable that the side effect information is input into a host system (not shown) or the like. According to these configurations, for example, when a doctor examines the resident, he or she refers to side effect information such as the resident's health condition or side effect status using the medication distribution support device 5 or the mobile terminal 6. becomes possible.

It is also conceivable that the control unit 51 can identify and display a suspected drug that is likely to be the cause of the side effect that is occurring based on the side effect information and the side effect related information. Here, if the drug master includes drug image data such as photographs of each drug, the control unit 51 may cause the drug image data of the suspect drug to be displayed on the resident confirmation screen 213. is also possible. This suppresses human error when, for example, the suspect drug is extracted from the drug package 81 in which a plurality of drugs are packaged.

Furthermore, by transmitting the information to the dispensing support device 1, the pharmacy can easily grasp information such as the resident's health condition or side effect condition. In particular, in the dispensing support device 1, the control unit 11 may be able to transmit the side effect information to the host system (not shown). As a result, the doctor who prescribes the resident's medicine can also refer to the side effect information in the host system (not shown), and the information can be used by hospitals (doctors), pharmacies (pharmacists), and geriatric health facilities (medication distributors). A medical system will be realized in which people (all medical personnel) are closely linked.

Furthermore, since it is possible to refer to the side effect information on the dispensing support device 1 or the host system (not shown), the pharmacist can use the side effect information when dispensing medicine based on the resident's next prescription data. Based on this, it is possible to omit the preparation of certain drugs. It is also conceivable that in the dispensing support device 1, the control unit 11 automatically excludes the drug targeted for the side effect information from the dispensing target and generates the package data and the like. Note that if the side effect information includes the date and time when medication was discontinued due to the occurrence of the side effect, the amount of medicine that has not been taken, etc., the control unit 11 in the dispensing support device 1 controls the side effect information. It is also conceivable to identify the untaken medicine and the remaining amount based on the above, and then, when the next time the sachet data is generated, to generate the sachet data by removing the residual amount from the prescribed amount of the untaken medicine. In addition, the pharmacist at the pharmacy A side refers to the side effect information displayed on the dispensing support device 1, informs the doctor of the suspected drug that may be causing the side effect, and enters a new prescription. At times, it is possible to prompt the user to input a prescription excluding the suspect drug, or to prompt the user to modify (reissue) an already input prescription by excluding the suspect drug. In addition, it is possible to notify the doctor of the amount of medicines that have not been taken and prompt the doctor to enter a prescription excluding the amount of medicines that have not been taken when entering a new prescription, or to make corrections that exclude the amount of medicines that have not been taken from the entered prescription. It is also possible to encourage reissue.

[Medication box opening/closing function]
Further, a medicine distribution box is provided with a storage section in which the medicine packets 81 corresponding to each dosing period are stored, and a medicine distribution box whose opening and closing can be controlled for each storage section is connected to the medicine distribution support device 5 in a communicable manner. It is possible that In this case, the control unit 51 controls opening and closing of each of the accommodating sections in the medicine distribution box based on the medicine distribution data so that the medicine corresponding to the time to take the medicine cannot be taken out until the time for taking the medicine has arrived. It is possible to do so. Thereby, it is possible to suppress mistakes in dispensing medicine to the resident.

[Medication history display function]
Further, the control unit 51 may have a medication history display function that displays the medication distribution data and medication result history stored in the medication distribution data storage unit 523. Here, FIGS. 30 to 33 are diagrams showing examples of history screens that can be displayed by the medication history display function.

First, the control unit 51 displays the history screen 218 shown in FIG. 30 when a predetermined operation for displaying the medication history is performed while the menu screen is displayed on the display device 54 or the like. On the history screen 218, the medication results of each resident are displayed on a daily basis. In the history screen 218, a mark of "○" indicates that the patient has taken the medication, a mark of "△" indicates that some of the medication has not been taken, and a mark of "x" indicates that the medication has not been taken. Note that the term "partially untaken medicines" refers to a state in which some medicines are taken and some medicines are not taken at a plurality of dosing times in one day. For example, the above-mentioned "partially untaken medicine" means that if a day includes three times of taking the medicine: morning, noon, and evening, one or two of the times of taking the medicine in the morning, noon, and evening are not taken. This is the case. In addition, on the history screen 218, the background color or shape of the mark corresponding to the day on which information such as information on leftover drugs or information on side effects other than information on whether or not to take medication is recorded may be a different background color or shape than usual. Displayed in shape.

By the way, if the medication distribution data or the prescription data including the medication start date, medication end date, and medication timing (before breakfast, after lunch, etc.) are input to the medication distribution support device 5, the control unit 51 It is conceivable that the history screen 218 displays the schedule for the necessity of taking medication for each patient. As described above, the drug distribution data or the prescription data is input from the dispensing support device 1, read from the USB memory 19, or read from the medicine package 81, for example. Specifically, it is conceivable that the control unit 51 displays a predetermined diamond-shaped mark or the like in a column corresponding to the date on which the drug needs to be taken to indicate that it is necessary to take the drug. In addition, if a schedule that does not require medication, such as a resident's going out schedule or sleepover schedule, is input first on the history screen 218, the control unit 51 controls the history screen 218 to It is conceivable to display a predetermined "outside" mark or the like in the column corresponding to the scheduled date to indicate that there is no need to take the drug.

Then, when an operation for selecting a resident is performed on the history screen 218, the control unit 51 displays a history screen 219 shown in FIG. 31 instead of the history screen 218. On the history screen 219 shown in FIG. 31, the history of each drug taken by the selected resident is displayed on a daily basis. In addition, in the history screen 219, a display column for "other information" is provided at the bottom, and in this display column, "○ " is written. Then, the control unit 51 controls the control unit 51 when an area in which “○” is written in the display field of “Other information” is selected, or when the operation pointer of the operation device 55 or the mobile terminal 6 is placed in that area. If such a drug exists, it is conceivable to display information such as information on remaining medicine or information on side effects corresponding to the display field in a pop-up.

Further, when a date is selected on the history screen 219, the control unit 51 displays a history screen 220 shown in FIG. 32 instead of the history screen 219. On the history screen 220 shown in FIG. 32, the history of each drug taken by the selected resident is displayed in units of times of administration. Note that the history screen 220 also displays an "other information" display column, similar to the history screen 219.

Note that when a location where information on leftover medicine is recorded is selected in the display field of "Other information" on the history screen 219 or the history screen 220, the control unit 51 displays the information on the leftover medicine. It is conceivable to read the drug distribution data from the drug distribution data storage section 523 and display it on the history screen 221 shown in FIG. 33. In the history screen 221 shown in FIG. 33, "2 tablets" is shown as the remaining drug status of the drug M1, and "1.5 tablets x 3" is shown as the remaining drug status of the drug M2. Here, it is possible to display "4.5 tablets", which is the calculation result of 1.5 tablets x 3, as the remaining medicine status of the medicine M2, but the control unit 51 does not change the dosage form of the medicine M2. Taking this into account, it is displayed as "1.5 tablets x 3". As a result, it is clearly shown that the remaining medicine M2 is not 4 tablets and 0.5 tablets, a total of 5 tablets, but 3 sets of 1 tablet and 0.5 tablet, and a total of 6 tablets.For example, the following prescription data It is possible to easily decide whether or not to use the drug as a prescription drug. Therefore, in the drug distribution support device 5, the control unit 51 manages the remaining amount of the drug in the remaining drug information for each resident's drug in the state at the time of dispensing. The remaining medicine information is transmitted.

[Alarm function]
By the way, the control section 51 may have an alarm function that automatically sets an alarm based on the drug distribution data stored in the drug distribution data storage section 523. Here, FIGS. 34 and 35 are diagrams showing an example of a medication schedule screen displayed when the medication distribution data is input.

Here, when the drug packaging device 3 executes the drug packaging process according to the user and the drug to be taken by one patient is packaged into a series of drug packages 81 for each dosage period, the first Alternatively, a case will be described in which a test drug code is printed on the last medicine package 81 using a one-dimensional code or a two-dimensional code. Here, FIG. 36 is a diagram showing an example of a series of medicine packages 81 in which a test code is printed on the first medicine package 81. In the example shown in FIG. 36, a two-dimensional code is printed as the drug test code on the first medicine package 81, and the code indicating the first drug distribution information is printed on the second and subsequent medicine packages 81. A one-dimensional code is printed as 811. The drug test code includes predetermined information necessary for testing the drug package 81, as well as drug distribution data such as the resident ID, resident name, dosing start date, dosing end date, and dosing timing code. included. The dosing time code is a number or symbol indicating the dosing time (before breakfast, after breakfast, before lunch, etc.) that needs to be taken between the dosing start date and the dosing end date. That is, here, by reading the drug test code of the first or last drug package 81 of a series of drug packages 81 corresponding to each resident, the drug distribution data corresponding to each resident is sequentially read. It is assumed that the information is input to the drug distribution management device 5. The series of medicine packages 81 may be delivered as is from the pharmacy A side to the nursing care facility B, or the medicine packages 81 may be individually separated and delivered from the pharmacy A side to the nursing care facility B. Delivered to side B.

In the drug distribution management device 5, when the drug distribution data is read from the drug test code of the drug package 81, the control unit 51 controls the drug package 81 based on the drug distribution data. The medication schedule of the corresponding resident is registered in the data storage unit 52. Here, the control unit 51 may cause the reading terminal 7 that has read the medication distribution data or the display device 54 to display a medication schedule screen 222 for confirming that the medication distribution data has been read. Conceivable. Further, the medication schedule screen 222 is displayed on the mobile terminal 6, the reading terminal 7, etc. even when a predetermined user operation for confirming the medication schedule is performed on the mobile terminal 6, the reading terminal 7, etc. Is displayed.

Here, FIG. 34 is a diagram showing an example of the medication schedule screen 222. As shown in FIG. 34, the upper row of the medication schedule screen 222 displays the resident ID, resident name, and medication start date of the resident corresponding to the medication distribution data that was last read from the medication package 81. The date and end date of the medication are displayed. Further, in the lower part of the medication schedule screen 222, a list of the medication distribution data corresponding to one or more residents that has already been read and stored in the data storage unit 52 is displayed. Note that when specific medication distribution data is selected on the medication schedule screen 222 and the details key is operated, a medication details screen 223 is displayed that displays details of the medication schedule corresponding to the medication distribution data. . In addition, when the specific medication distribution data is selected and a deletion key is operated, the control unit 51 can also delete the medication schedule corresponding to the medication distribution data. Further, the information displayed in the upper part of the dosing schedule screen 222 may be switched to information corresponding to the selected medication distribution data in accordance with the selection of the medication distribution data in the lower part of the dosing schedule screen 222. .

Here, FIG. 35 is a diagram showing an example of the medication details screen 223. As shown in FIG. 35, the medication details screen 223 includes the resident ID, resident name, medication start date, medication end date, etc. of the resident corresponding to the read medication distribution data in the upper row. is displayed. Further, in the lower part of the medication details screen 223, the scheduled date and timing of medication from the medication start date to the medication end date corresponding to the medication distribution data for one resident are displayed.

Then, when the medicine distribution data is input, the control unit 51 automatically executes the medicine according to predetermined alarm conditions for each of the dosing periods of the resident corresponding to the medicine distribution data, based on the medicine distribution data. Execute alarm setting processing to set the alarm time. Here, the control section 51 when executing such processing is an example of an alarm setting means. Specifically, as the alarm conditions, the alarm time corresponding to the dosing time "after lunch" is "13:00", the alarm time corresponding to the dosing time "between lunch" is "15:00", and the dosing time is "before dinner". It is conceivable that the corresponding alarm time is "18:00". In addition, as the alarm conditions, the alarm time corresponding to the dosing time "after lunch" is "12:30", the alarm time corresponding to the dosing time "between lunch" is "15:00", and the alarm time corresponding to the dosing time "before dinner" is "12:30". It is conceivable that the corresponding alarm time is "18:30".

Thereafter, if the completion of the dosing corresponding to the dosing time is not input at the alarm time of each of the dosing times set by the alarm setting process, the control unit 51 sends a message, etc., prompting the dosing at the dosing time. An alarm notification process is executed to display on the mobile terminal 6, the reading terminal 7, the display device 54 of the drug distribution support device 5, or the like. Here, the control section 51 when executing such processing is an example of an alarm notification means. This suppresses the omission of doses at each of the dosing periods for each of the residents. Note that the content of the alarm notification process is not limited to display, and may be notification by audio, for example. Furthermore, when displaying the message, etc., the control unit 51 may display a list of patients for whom the completion of administration has not been input, or display a message, etc. in order for each patient for which the completion of administration has not been input. It is possible that

Then, after executing the alarm notification process at the alarm time, if the control unit 51 determines that the medication for the dosing period that was the target of the notification has not been taken, the control unit 51 determines that the medication for the dosing period that was the target of the notification has not been taken. It is recorded in the data storage section 52 as follows. As a result, when the dosing schedule screen 222 is displayed, the control unit 51 displays an "x" mark in the column corresponding to the missed dosing period. For example, if the code information 811 corresponding to the dosing period is not read within a preset predetermined time after execution of the alarm notification process, or if the dosing at the dosing period is unnecessary, If an operation to that effect is performed, it is determined that the drug was not taken at the time of taking the drug. In addition, when the control unit 51 sequentially moves the drug distribution targets in a state where a list of patients for whom the completion of medication has not been input is displayed, the control unit 51 moves the drug distribution target to a patient different from the current drug distribution target patient. When the code information 811 is read, it may be determined that the patient to whom the current medication is to be administered has not taken the medication. In addition, when moving the drug distribution target in order with the list of patients displayed, when the code information 811 corresponding to the current drug distribution target patient is read, the control unit 51 controls It is determined that the medication has been taken, and the next patient is selected to receive the medication. Similarly, when the control unit 51 sequentially displays a message etc. for each patient for whom the completion of administration has not been input, the code information 811 corresponding to a patient different from the patient corresponding to the message etc. currently being displayed is displayed. If the message is read, it may be determined that the patient has not taken the medication corresponding to the message being displayed. In addition, when displaying messages, etc. corresponding to each patient in sequence, the control unit 51 determines whether the patient has taken the medication when the code information 811 of the patient corresponding to the currently displayed message, etc. is read. Then, the message corresponding to the next patient is displayed.
