BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a prescription dispensing inspection system.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In general, a hospital pharmacy accepts a large number of prescriptions issued by doctors of each medical department and performs necessary dispensing work and other various works according to the contents of the prescriptions.

Further, in recent years, with the advancement of medical care, subdivision of specialty, and diversification of drugs, the absolute amount of dispensing work that must be processed at a hospital pharmacy tends to increase more and more, while the amount of patients Since it is desired to shorten the waiting time, as a means to efficiently perform the necessary dispensing work,
Developed and put into practical use various tablet dispensing machines, such as a tablet dispensing machine that dispenses tablets each time, a powder dispensing machine that dispenses powder once each, and other dispensing devices. There is.

By the way, in order to operate these dispensing devices, it is not possible to apply the contents of the prescription to the dispensing devices as they are, and the same dispensing device is used depending on the type of drug that each dispensing device can handle. Even in this case, different operation information must be applied depending on the characteristics of the drug and various conditions.

That is, in the prescription, for example, tablets A at a daily dose of 8 tablets, a dose of 4 minutes, tablets B at a daily dose of 3 tablets, a dose of 3 minutes, tablets C at a daily dose of 2 tablets, once a day, Powder D daily mmg,
As an example, consider the case where the dose 3 and the powdered drug E were prescribed to be administered to the patient at a daily dose of nmg and a dose of 3 respectively.

However, the tablets A and B can be packaged in one package, and the tablet C must be packaged separately from the tablets A and B. , Powder D and E can be packaged in one package, but when they are mixed in a dividing mass prior to packaging and mixed on a vibrating feeder, they are separated from each other and evenly distributed. It shall have the condition that it is not divided.

[0007] In this case, the tablets A, B, C can be packaged by an appropriate tablet packaging machine, and the first, second, and third doses of the four doses a day are respectively performed. A2 tablets and B1 tablets were packaged together in one package, and only the A2 tablets were packaged for the fourth time, and in each of these packages, "morning", "daytime", "evening",

I was trying to get the necessary dispensing work done.

On the other hand, in order to confirm whether or not the drug dispensed by the dispensing device is as shown on the prescription, before the drug is given to the patient, the operator must Check the medicine that has been dispensed with the prescription,
I was working on an audit.

[0012]

However, the drug dispensed by the dispensing device is not dispensed according to the prescription unit indicated on the prescription, but the type of the dispensing device, the characteristics of the drug, and the dispensing data. Workers who make a drug are dispensed according to any dispensing unit selected appropriately from various dispensing units that can be considered depending on various conditions such as the individual method of doing so. The person must first elucidate what dispensing unit the drug is dispensed in, and then perform a tablet number inspection for tablets and a weight inspection for powdered drugs. Counting and weighing tablets is not enough, and careful attention is required to eliminate mistakes, so audit work is time-consuming. Ri, there is a problem such as easy to lead to to wait for the patient.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and when inspecting a drug dispensed by a dispensing device, the drug is dispensed according to any dispensing unit considered from the prescription unit indicated on the prescription. Provide a prescription dispensing inspection system that can easily and accurately perform the inspection work of the drug even if it has been done, shorten the time required for the inspection work and shorten the waiting time of the patient as much as possible. That is the purpose.
