Here, image patterns as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 are stored in advance. The pattern shown in FIG. 3 does not indicate that the prescribed drug has been dispensed to the patient, and the patient number bar and waiting time numbers are entered by the staff member from the keyboard 5. The waiting time displayed is intended to serve as a guide for patients who have not yet received their prescribed medication.

The pattern shown in Figure 4 prompts patients who are eligible for payment to pay their bills, and the patient number and samurai time numbers are the same as those shown in Figure 4.
This is input by the staff member from the keyboard 5 as in the figure.

Reference numeral 10 denotes a voice synthesizer, which synthesizes speech with almost the same contents as the contents of the VRAM 9, and sends this out from the speaker of the book so that the patient can be notified by voice as well as image. However, if it is necessary to make an announcement using a speaker, this may be omitted.

Reference numerals 11a to 11n and 12a to 12n correspond to display means C, and are cathode ray tubes and their speakers of the television receiver 6, each of which is a pair and installed in a hospital cafeteria, waiting room, or the like.

In the above block diagram, for the sake of simplicity, the TV receiver installed in the waiting room etc. and the CPU etc. installed in the pharmacy window are connected by a pass line. However, the waiting room, etc. and the pharmacy, etc. are connected by a communication line via a communication interface, and in order to control the television receiver, etc. in the waiting room, etc., which is the receiving side, there is a separate connection between the waiting room and the pharmacy counter. A CPU, ROM, RAM, etc. may be provided. In short, the present invention may employ any mechanism as long as it can display a patient number input at a pharmacy counter or the like on a television receiver installed in a waiting room or the like.

The control operation of the apparatus of the present invention having the above configuration will be explained with reference to flowchart 1 in FIG.

First, the control operation when handing a prescription drug to a patient from a pharmacy counter will be explained.

Medical treatment has now started, and patients who have finished treatment are in the cafeteria or waiting room of the hospital, and television broadcasts or video broadcasts of health management, etc. received by antenna 7 are sent to television receivers N6 installed in these places. is broadcast (step 100)
.

Furthermore, when the patient hands over the medical record or slip to the pharmacy or checkout counter 1], the patient receives a drug receipt number table (exchange number). Therefore, the drug is prepared at the pharmacy based on the prescription in the patient's medical record, and when the drug is prepared at the pharmacy counter, the number corresponding to the patient is entered by the staff from the keyboard 5 (step 102).

After a certain period of time has elapsed since the input, for example 5 minutes (step 106), the television broadcast is interrupted and a pattern showing the corresponding patient number as shown in Fig. 3 is displayed on the cathode ray tube 1.
1a to 11n for a predetermined period of time (step 110), and its contents are broadcast from speakers 12a to 12rl (step 108).

Note that this display may be displayed after the number of inputs reaches a certain value, for example, after five people have input, or when one of the conditions of elapsed time and predetermined number of people is satisfied. In any case, the setting is arbitrarily set as long as the user can fully enjoy the TV broadcast without frequently interrupting the TV broadcast, and the patient does not have to wear the prescription medicine for a long time.

When a patient receives a prescription drug from the pharmacy counter, a staff member inputs the fact through the keyboard 5, and the patient number is deleted (step 112).

After the patient number is displayed for a predetermined period of time, the process returns to step 100 and television broadcasting starts (step 112 is affirmative,
114 negation).

If there is a prescription drug left at the pharmacy counter, but the patient does not come to pick up the drug, the patient number will be displayed again next time the patient number is displayed (Yes at step 112).

In this case, prepare another pattern in VRAM9 and use a
