Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a computer for medical office use, and more particularly to the same device capable of searching for medicines.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional medical office computer is provided with a file in which medicinal effects of medicines such as heat and pain are associated with brand names (commodity names) of a plurality of medicines having the medicinal effect, By entering the drug effect from the keyboard, I was able to search that file and display the brand name of the drug with that drug effect.

[0003]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Since a prescription prepared by a doctor does not have a drug effect of a drug but a uniform name, the pharmacist judges the drug effect from the described uniform name and then So I had no choice but to search for the brand name based on medicinal properties. For this reason, it is necessary to remember the relationship between the unified name of all medicines and their efficacy, which is a heavy burden.

Further, even if there are multiple brands of drugs having the same medicinal effect, since the usage and dose are different depending on the age, sex and symptoms of the patient, it is not always possible to administer all brands of drugs to the patient. Absent. Therefore, it is not enough to search for the brand name of the drug based on its efficacy.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention relates to a plurality of medicines, which are stored by associating the uniform name and brand name of the medicines having the same efficacy, usage and dose. A name file, an input means for inputting a uniform name of the medicine, a searching means for searching the drug name file and reading out the brand name corresponding to the uniform name input from the input means, and a display means Equipped with
The read-out brand name and unified name are displayed on the display means.

[0006]

In the present invention, the drug name file is searched in response to the input of the uniform name of the drug, and the brand name of the drug having the same efficacy, usage and dose corresponding to the input uniform name is read out. , Display the brand name and unified name.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the overall construction of this embodiment, in which 1 is a keyboard as input means, 3 is input data from the keyboard 1 via an input control unit 2, and various processing is performed. A processing unit for performing 4, a display for receiving and displaying data from the processing unit 3 via the display control unit 5, a buffer 6, and an external storage device 7. The external storage device 7 includes the unified name file 7a and the brand. The name file 7b is provided.

2A and 2B show a unified name file 7
The contents of a and the brand name file 7b are shown. The unified name file 7a stores a unified name expressed in kana and a pointer in the brand name file 7b in which the unified name is stored, and the brand name file 7b stores the unified name of a drug and its drug. The brand name of the drug having the same medicinal effect, usage and dose is stored in association with each other. The operation of this embodiment will be described below with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 3 and the display examples of FIGS.

In response to a key input instructing a drug search, the processing section 3 displays the drug search screen shown in FIG. 4 on the display 4. The underlined portion following the display of “Name” is a drug name input field. Then, the user inputs the name of the medicine to be searched from the keyboard 1.

For example, the unified name is "lysozyme chloride 3%.
When the user wants to search for a drug for "syrup", the user inputs "Encarizozyme 3%" on the keyboard 1 in kana. Then, the processing unit 3 stores the input "Encarisozo team 3%" in the buffer 6, and searches the unified name file 7a by using the stored "Encariso team 3%" as a key.

That is, the unified names represented by kana in the unified name file 7a are read out in order and compared with "Encarisozo 3%" stored in the buffer 6 to determine whether they match or not.
Alternatively, when “Encariso team 3%” is included, the corresponding pointer is read out and stored in the buffer 6.

Next, the processing unit 3 uses the unified name file 7a.
The unified name and the brand name pointed to by the pointer are read from the brand name file 7b this time by using the pointer read from the buffer 6 and stored in the buffer 6 and stored in the buffer 6. Then, the stored contents of the buffer 6 are displayed on the display 4 as shown in FIG.

That is, "Encarizozyme 3%" input by the user is displayed in the input field, and below the unified name "Rhizochi chloride" read from the brand name file 7b.
3% syrup "is displayed together with the heading" Unified name ", and the stock name read from the stock name file 7b is also added to the heading" stock name ", one by one.
They are displayed with a number attached to them.

By the way, when there are a plurality of unified names that match the inputted name or include the unified name in the unified name file 7a, the processing section 3 causes the unified name file 7a to be processed.
Is searched for, and corresponding pointers are read out for all of the unified names that match the input name or include the same, and each of these pointers is read from the stock name file 7b in the same manner as in the above-described embodiment. The unified name and brand name are read out and stored in the buffer 6. Then, the plurality of stored unified names and brand names are displayed on the display 4 as shown in FIG.

The pharmacist who is the user selects a desired one from a plurality of unified names displayed on the drug search screen shown in FIG. 6 and uses the list of brand names displayed below it as a reference for dispensing. Can be

[0016]

According to the present invention, it is possible to immediately find out the brand name of a drug having the same efficacy, usage and dosage from the unified name of the drug described in the prescription prepared by the doctor.

Further, the pharmacist who is the user can assist the judgment such as searching for a substitute drug for a drug which is not in stock at the time of dispensing by looking at the list of brand names displayed on the screen.

[0018] As a result, the time required for dispensing can be greatly shortened, so that the burden on the pharmacist can be reduced and the waiting time can be shortened, which can lead to improvement in patient service.
