5, the display 26, the card reader 27, each payout mechanism 28, and the transceiver 6 are connected to the personal computer 22.

The personal computer 22 has a well-known structure, but has a treatment room work processing means 22a realized by an operation program. The treatment room work processing means 22a executes a predetermined process related to the treatment room work. Note that the predetermined processing related to the treatment room operation is to drive and control one of the dispensing mechanisms 28 to dispense the medicine corresponding to the barcode scanned by the barcode scanner 23, and to display the predetermined information regarding the dispensing of the medicine. It includes a process of transmitting to the medicine department terminal 2.

FIG. 5 is a functional block diagram showing an electrical configuration of the medicine part terminal 2. As shown in this figure, the drug department terminal 2 has a personal computer 51, a bar code scanner 52, a keyboard 53, a display 54, a kanji printer 55 and a card reader 56, and the bar code scanner 52, the keyboard 53, the display 54, and kanji characters. The printer 55 and the card reader 56 are each connected to the personal computer 51. A transceiver 7 and a modem 11 are connected to the personal computer 51, respectively.

The bar code scanner 52 is for reading a bar code formed on a storage box in which a medicine is stored in a medicine storage or a replenishing box used when replenishing the medicine. The keyboard 53 is used by the operator of the apparatus to input various necessary information to the personal computer 51. The display 54 is for displaying various necessary information to the operator of this apparatus. The Kanji printer 55 is for printing a delivery instruction slip. The card reader 56 is for reading a patient ID card in which personal information of the patient is stored.

By the way, the personal computer 51 has a well-known structure, but has a drug department work processing means 51a realized by an operation program.
The drug department job processing means 51a executes a predetermined process relating to the drug department job. The predetermined process related to the drug department work includes a process of receiving predetermined information related to the dispensing of the medicine from each treatment room terminal 1 and managing the usage state of the medicine based on this information.

Next, the operation of the medicine dispensing management system configured as described above will be described. First, the personal computer 22 of the treatment room terminal 1 waits for a replenishment mode to be designated or the patient ID card to be read by the card reader 27 (step 7 in FIG. 7).
a and step 7b).

When the operator takes out the medicine, the operator first causes the card reader 27 to read the patient ID card of the patient to whom the medicine to be taken out, and then the bar formed on the label 24 corresponding to the medicine to be taken out. The code is scanned by the barcode scanner 23. In addition,
On the label 24, the medicine name is described side by side with the barcode, and the operator can easily determine the barcode to be scanned.

The personal computer 22 is normally in the dispensing mode, and when the patient ID card is read by the card reader 27 without designating the replenishing mode, the bar code scanner 23 designates the medicine to be dispensed. Or wait until the payout is completed (step 7c and step 7d). When the barcode is scanned by the barcode scanner 23 as described above, the personal computer 22 performs a dispensing process for dispensing the designated medicine (step 7e). Specifically, the barcode scanner 23 discriminates the barcode from the signal obtained by reading the barcode, and instructs the dispensing mechanism 28 corresponding to this barcode to dispense the ampule 29.

In the payout mechanism 28, an instruction from the personal computer 22 is given to the push-up member drive mechanism 28c. When the push-up member drive mechanism 28c receives an instruction from the personal computer 22, the push-up member drive mechanism 28c moves the medicine push-up member 28b up and down by one reciprocation. Chemical lifting member 2
When 8b moves upward, one of the ampules 29 stored in the chemical storage tray 28a located on the front side of the rack 21 is pushed up. When the chemical push-up member 28b reaches the position shown by the broken line in FIG. 3, the ampoule 29 rolls out from the dispensing port 21a to the dispensing tray 21b. Further, when the medicine push-up member 28b returns to the position shown by the solid line in FIG. 3, the ampoule 29 remaining in the medicine storage tray 28a rolls on the medicine storage tray 28a, and the front side of the rack 21 is jammed.

Thus, each time an instruction is given from the personal computer 22, the ampoules 29 are dispensed one by one to the dispensing tray 21b. Since the personal computer 22 returns to step 7c after performing the payout process for one barcode scan in step 7e, the above-described operation is repeated every time the barcode scanner 23 scans the barcode. Then, the ampoules of the designated medicine are dispensed one by one to the dispensing tray 21b.

Upon completion of taking out the medicine corresponding to one patient, the operator operates a predetermined key on the keyboard 25, or causes the bar code scanner 23 to scan a bar code for designating the end. A predetermined payout end instruction is given.

When the personal computer 22 receives this dispensing end instruction, the personal computer 22 sends the dispensing status management information relating to the current drug dispensing to the medicine department terminal 2 (step 7).
f) Do. The dispensing status management information includes the identification information of the treatment room, the patient ID, the type of dispensed drug, the dispensed amount of each drug, and the like.

The payout status management information thus transmitted from the treatment room terminal 1 is transmitted to the LAN by the transceiver 6.
It is sent to the line 5 and further delivered to the drug department terminal 2 via the server 4. The drug department terminal 2 creates charge management information as needed based on the arrived payout status management information, and sends it to the upper host 14. The charge management information includes the patient ID, the type of dispensed drug, the dispensed amount of each drug, and the like.

The upper host 14 waits for the charge management information to arrive in the standby state or for the charge calculation instruction (steps 8a and 8b in FIG. 8). Then, as described above, the charge management information is transmitted from the drug department terminal 2, and when this arrives, the upper host 14 takes in the distributed charge management information and stores it in a built-in memory or an external storage device (not shown). Hold.

When a predetermined charge calculation instruction is issued in the standby state, the upper host 14 is a patient who should calculate the charge out of the charge management information held in the built-in memory or an external storage device (not shown). The charges are calculated in consideration of those corresponding to (step 8d). The result of this calculation is displayed on a display or printed out by a Kanji printer.

On the other hand, the personal computer 51 of the medicine department terminal 2 waits for the information for managing the delivery status to arrive in the standby state, the issuing instruction for the delivery instruction slip, or the replenishment mode to be designated. (Step 9a, step 9b and step 9c in FIG. 9). Then, as described above, when the treatment room terminal 1 transmits the withdrawal status management information, which is distributed via the server 4,
The personal computer 51 updates the stock management information held in the built-in memory or an external storage device (not shown) based on the distributed payout status management information (step 9d). The inventory management information is information indicating the inventory quantity of each drug stored in the rack 21 of each treatment room terminal 1.

In the personal computer 51, when a issuing instruction of a shipping instruction slip is issued by a predetermined key operation on the keyboard 53 in a standby state, inventory management held in a built-in memory or an external storage device (not shown). With reference to the information, for example, a delivery instruction voucher, which is a list of the stock amount of medicines and the amount of replenishment in each treatment room, is created and printed on the Kanji printer 64 (step 9e).

By the way, the worker of the medicine department refers to the shipping instruction slip issued as described above, and carries out a work (picking) to take out a necessary one of the medicines stored in the medicine storage into a predetermined replenishing box. To do. Replenishment boxes are prepared corresponding to various kinds of medicines, and each replenishment box is formed with a bar code corresponding to the corresponding medicine. In addition, a barcode corresponding to the medicine is formed in each storage box in which the medicine is stored in the warehouse. Therefore, the operator sequentially scans the barcode formed on the storage box and the barcode formed on the replenishment box by the barcode scanner 52.

At this time, the personal computer 51
In response to the designation of the replenishment mode, the process shifts from step 9c and waits for the barcode scanner 52 to scan the barcode (step 9f). When one of the bar code formed on the storage box and the bar code formed on the replenishing box is scanned by the bar code scanner 52, the personal computer 51 determines from the signal obtained by the bar code scanner 52 reading the bar code. The bar code is discriminated and the discrimination result is stored and held in the internal memory (step 9g).

Further, the personal computer 51 waits for the bar code scanner 52 to scan the bar code (step 9h). When the other bar code is scanned by the bar code scanner 52, the bar code scanner 52 causes the bar code scanner 52 to scan. The bar code is discriminated from the signal obtained by reading the code (step 9i).

Subsequently, the personal computer 51 collates the bar code determined and held in step 9g with the bar code determined in step 9i (step 9j). Here, in this embodiment, the same bar code is formed in each of the storage box and the replenishment box. Therefore, if there is a correct relationship between the medicine taken out from the replenishing box and the replenishing box to be transferred, the two barcodes should match in the collation in step 9j.

Therefore, the personal computer 51 judges whether or not the two barcodes match in the collation in step 9j (step 9k), and if they match, the authentication process (step 9l) is performed again, and there is a mismatch. If so, alarm processing (step 9m) is performed respectively. The authentication process and the alarm process are processes of notifying that the medicine is taken out correctly or that the medicine is taken out by an error, for example, on the display 54 or by a notification sound.

The personal computer 51 uses the modem 11, the communication line 12, and the modem 13 to check the chemical usage status.
Is transmitted to the upper host 14 via the
It is also possible to collect various statistics such as the amount of drug used in each treatment room in a fixed period by the drug management system provided in.

Now, after the operator has correctly transferred all the medicines to be taken out to the replenishment box in accordance with the delivery instruction slip, the worker transports the replenishment box to the treatment room of the replenishment destination,
The rack 21 of the treatment room terminal 1 is replenished.

At this time, the operator specifies the replenishment mode by operating a predetermined key on the keyboard 25 of the treatment room terminal 1, for example, and then the bar code formed on the replenishment box and the medicines put in the replenishment box. The bar code scanner 23 sequentially scans the bar code formed on the label corresponding to the medicine storage tray 28a for replenishing.

At this time, the personal computer 22 of the treatment room terminal 1 shifts the processing from step 7a in response to the designation of the replenishment mode, and the bar code scanner 23.
Wait until the barcode is scanned by (Fig. 7
Middle step 7h). When one of the bar code formed on the bar code formed on the replenishment box and the bar code formed on the label corresponding to the medicine storage tray 28a for replenishing the medicine contained in the replenishment box is scanned by the bar code scanner 23. The personal computer 22 discriminates the bar code from the signal obtained by reading the bar code by the bar code scanner 23, and stores the discrimination result in the internal memory (step 7i).

Further, the personal computer 22 waits for the bar code scanner 23 to scan the bar code (step 7j). When the other bar code is scanned by the bar code scanner 23, the bar code scanner 23 causes the bar code scanner 23 to scan. The bar code is discriminated from the signal obtained by reading the code (step 7k).

Subsequently, the personal computer 22 collates the bar code determined and held in step 7i with the bar code determined in step 7k (step 7l). Here, in this embodiment, the label 24
In this case, the same bar code as the bar code formed on the replenishing box corresponding to the medicine stored in the dispensing mechanism 8 corresponding to the label 24 is formed. Therefore, the medicine to be replenished and the medicine storage tray 8a for replenishing the medicine
If and are selected correctly, the two barcodes should match in the matching in step 71.

Therefore, the personal computer 22 judges whether or not the two barcodes match in the collation in step 7l (step 7m), and if they match, the supplementary authentication process (step 7n) is performed again, and there is a mismatch. If so, the alarm process (step 7o) is performed. The replenishment authentication process and the alarm process are processes for notifying that the medicine replenishment destination is correct or that the medicine replenishment destination is incorrect, for example, by a display on the display 26 or a notification sound.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, in the treatment room terminal 1, only one medicine corresponding to the bar code scanned by the bar code scanner 23 is dispensed, and the quantity of medicine dispensed for each patient. Since the cumulative amount is managed, it is possible to accurately manage the dispensing status of medicines.
There is no need for manual work such as bookkeeping.

Further, according to the present embodiment, every time the medicine dispensing for one patient is completed, the charge management information including the patient ID, the type of the dispensed medicine, the dispensed quantity of each medicine and the like is sent from the drug department terminal 2. The charge is transmitted to the upper host 14, and the upper host 14 calculates the charge for each patient in consideration of this charge management information. This allows
There is no need for communication from the treatment room to the medical affairs department to notify the drug usage status and to input the drug usage status in the host computer 14, so there is no communication error or input error, and the drug used for each patient is accurate. It is possible to calculate the charge by surely adding the cost of each medicine based on the above information, and prevent erroneous billing such as omission of billing. In addition, the treatment room will notify the medical department of the drug usage status and host 14
Since it is not necessary to input the drug usage status in the procedure, the work in the treatment room and the medical department can be significantly reduced, and
It is possible to reduce the time required for the calculation of charges, and consequently the waiting time for accounting for patients.

Further, according to the present embodiment, every time the medicine dispensing for one patient is completed, the dispensing situation management information including the identification information of the treatment room, the type of dispensed medicine and the dispensed quantity of each medicine is treated. The information is transmitted from the room terminal 1 to the medicine department terminal 2, and the medicine department terminal 2 manages the stock quantity of the medicine in each treatment room based on the information for managing the delivery status. As a result, the drug department can accurately grasp the stock status of each treatment room, and can easily and effectively realize the constant management of the medicine in each treatment room. Moreover, the constant control of the medicine can be performed by the medicine section independently without any intervention of the operator of each treatment room, so that the labor can be reduced and the medicine can be quickly replenished. Further, since the stock status of the medicines in each treatment room can be accurately grasped, inventory management can be simplified and dead stock can be prevented.

Further, according to the present embodiment, at the time of replenishment work of medicines, at the medicine department terminal 2, by comparing and collating the bar code formed on the storage box and the bar code formed on the replenishment box, picking can be performed. In the treatment room terminal 1, whether the replenishment is correct or not is performed by comparing and collating the bar code formed on the replenishing box and the bar code formed on the label 24 corresponding to the medicine storage tray 8a of the replenishment destination. Since it is performed, it is possible to prevent the medicines from being mixed up in the process of replenishing the medicines, and it is possible to effectively prevent the wrong medicines from being replenished to the medicine containing tray 8a. As a result, the problem that a drug different from the drug specified at the time of dispensing is dispensed does not occur.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, in the above embodiment, the treatment room terminals 1-1 to
Although 1-n and the pharmacy terminal 2 are connected to each other via the LAN line 5, the system is illustrated, but they may be connected by a simple communication cable or public telephone line. Further, the host 14 is illustrated as a system in which the drug department terminal 2 is connected via the modems 11 and 12, but it may be connected as a medical department terminal via a LAN line. Further, the function of the treatment room terminal 1 and the function of the medicine part terminal 2, the function of the treatment room terminal 1 and the upper host 14, or the function of the treatment room terminal 1, the function of the medicine part terminal 2 and the function of the upper host 14 are unified. It is also possible to adopt a mode in which information is exchanged between each function internally in this terminal.

Further, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the explanation has been made on the assumption that the medicine contained in the ampoule 29 is handled, but other kinds of medicine can also be targeted. However, in this case, it is necessary to change the structure of the payout mechanism 28. Further, the specific structure of the payout mechanism 28 can be modified even when the ampoule 29 is handled.

In the above embodiment, the medicine is dispensed one by one each time the bar code is scanned, but in combination with the quantity designation by the keyboard 25 or the like, the medicine is dispensed in response to one bar code scan. You may make it pay out several chemicals.

In the above embodiment, the storage box, the replenishment box and the bar code formed on the label 24 are all the same. In this way, if all the barcodes are the same, it is possible to easily determine the correspondence relationship depending on whether or not the two barcodes match. For example, the correspondence of the storage box, the replenishment box and the medicine storage tray 8a When changing the relationship, there may be a problem in that the bar code formed for each of them must also be changed. Therefore, when such a problem occurs, the corresponding relations are registered in the personal computers 22 and 51 without unifying the respective barcodes. Then, in the replenishment mode, each bar code may be collated with reference to the registered correspondence to determine the validity of the picking and replenishment positions.

Further, in the above embodiment, the dispensing tray 21b
Also, although a large number of medicine storage trays 28a are provided, one dispensing tray 21b may be common to each medicine, and the medicine storage tray 28a is a partition of a large tray to form a storage compartment for storing various chemicals. It may be done. In addition, various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
