[6599] indicates the age group of 65 years or older. The range of the age group is arbitrarily set for each drug.

However, in this POS terminal, when the "register" job is selected by the mode switch 26,
The CPU 11 is program-controlled so as to execute the main processing of the medicine accounting business shown in the flowchart of FIG.
That is, when starting this main processing, the CPU 11 first waits for the patient code to be input by the input means as ST (step) 1. And the number key 3
When the input of the patient code is detected by the key operation of 2 and the patient key 33 or the bar code reading operation of the patient code printed on the chart by the bar code scanner 21, various types on the RAM 13 shown in FIG. 3 as ST2. The memory areas R1 to R6 are cleared.

Next, an inquiry message of the patient code input in ST3 is created, and this inquiry message is transmitted to the host device 16 via the communication interface 17. As a result, if the patient personal information such as name, age and sex corresponding to the patient code in the inquiry message is received from the host device 16 within a predetermined time as ST4, the patient personal information is stored in the patient memory R1 as ST5. At the same time, it is displayed on the display device 19. In ST4, if the corresponding patient personal information is not obtained from the host device 16 within a predetermined time, it may be an input error that a patient code that does not exist in the patient master 41 has been input, or the POS terminal and the host device. Since the communication abnormality with 16 is considered, this processing ends as an error.

If the patient personal information received from the host device 16 is stored in the patient memory R1 in ST5, ST6
Then, the input of the drug code of the drug to be supplied to the patient is awaited. When it is detected that the drug code is input by the key operation of the preset key 31 or the numeric keys 32 and the drug key 34, an inquiry message of the drug code input in ST7 is created, and this inquiry is made. The message is transmitted to the host device 16 via the communication interface 17. As a result, if the drug information such as the name, department code, unit price, type code, color code, age-specific dose information, etc. corresponding to the drug code in the inquiry message is received from the host device 16 within a predetermined time in ST8, As ST9, this drug information is stored in the drug memory R2. Note that S
If the corresponding drug information is not obtained from the host device 16 within a predetermined time at T8, it is considered that an input error has occurred because a drug code that does not exist in the drug master 42 is input.
Return to ST6 and wait for re-input of the drug code.

When the drug information received from the host device 16 is stored in the drug memory R2 in ST9, the drug sales information registration process concretely shown in FIG. 7 is executed in ST10. That is, first, the age of the patient is acquired from the patient personal information stored in the patient memory 41 at ST71, and the age in which the patient's age is included in the medication information by age group in the drug information stored in the drug memory R2. The layer dose information (single dose, dose period, comment) is acquired and stored in the dose information memory R3.

Next, in ST72, the process waits for the number of days of supply of the corresponding chemical to be input. Then, if it is detected that the number of supply days is input by the key operation of the numeral keys 32 and the number of days key 35, as ST73, the input number of supply days and 1 of the dose information stored in the dose information memory R3. Based on the dose and the time of administration, the supply amount (drug supply amount) of the corresponding drug is calculated by the following equation (1), and the result is additionally stored in the drug memory R2. Drug supply amount = 1 dose x number of daily doses x number of supply days (1) Here, the number of daily doses is as follows: before meal, after meal,
It is calculated as 3 times between meals, 2 times after morning and dinner, and once before bedtime.

Next, in ST74, the drug selling price is calculated by the following equation (2) based on the drug supply amount and the unit price data in the drug information stored in the drug memory R2. Drug selling price = unit price × drug supply amount (2) Then, in ST75, the drug selling price data is displayed on the display unit 19 together with the department name corresponding to the drug department code in the drug information stored in the drug memory R2. Also, S
By controlling the drive of the printer 20 as T76,
The drug selling price data and the drug department name are printed out on receipt paper and journal paper. Further, in ST77, the above-mentioned drug selling price data is added to the drug selling price totalizer R4.

Thereafter, in ST78, the department name corresponding to the drug department code in the drug information stored in the drug memory R2, the type name corresponding to the type code and the color name corresponding to the color information, and the patient in the dose information memory R3. And the dose information adapted to the age of are additionally stored in the print memory R5. If the medicine code and the medicine supply amount in the medicine information stored in the medicine memory R2 are additionally stored in the transmission memory R6 in ST79, the medicine sales information registration processing is ended.
The department name corresponding to the medicine department code, the type name corresponding to the type code, and the color name corresponding to the color information are set in the ROM 12 or the RAM 13 in advance.

Thus, when the drug sales information registration process of ST10 is completed, the CPU 11 determines whether or not the end of drug registration is declared in ST11 of FIG. If not declared, the process returns to ST6 and waits for the input of the drug code of another drug to be supplied to the patient.
When it is detected that the medicine code is input, the processes of ST7 to ST10 are executed again. Thus, the processes of ST6 to ST10 are repeated until the end of drug registration is declared in ST11. In this case, the corresponding data of the current medicine is stored in the medicine memory R2 and the dose information memory R3 after the corresponding data of the previous medicine is cleared. Further, for the drug selling price totalizer R4, the drug selling price data of the current drug is added to the total value of the drug selling price data of the drugs until then. Furthermore, the print memory R
No. 5 and the transmission memory R6 are added with the corresponding data of the medicine of this time without clearing the corresponding data of the medicine so far.

When it is detected in ST11 that the end of the drug registration has been declared by the input of the end key 36, the drug sales registration closing process concretely shown in FIG. 8 is executed in ST12. That is, first, as ST81, the drug selling price totalizer R4
Is displayed on the display unit 19 as the total amount of medicine selling price. Further, in ST82, the printer 20 is drive-controlled to print out the total drug selling price amount data on the receipt paper and the journal paper.

Next, in ST83, the process waits for the deposit amount data to be input. When it is detected that the deposit amount data is input by the numeric key 32 and the deposit / cash total key 37, the change amount data is calculated by subtracting the drug selling price total amount data from the deposit amount data in ST84. The change calculation is executed and the calculated change amount data is displayed on the display device 19. Further, in ST85, the printer 20 is drive-controlled to print out the deposit amount data and the change amount data on the receipt paper and the journal paper.

Then, in ST86, the printer 20 is drive-controlled to print out the data stored in the print memory R5 on the receipt paper as the data indicating how to take the medicine. Further, when the data stored in the transmission memory R6 is transmitted to the host device 16 via the communication interface 17, the medicine sale registration closing process is ended.

Thus, when the drug sales registration closing process of ST12 is completed, the CPU 11 operates the cutter unit of the printer 20 to cut the receipt paper and issues a receipt if the receipt is issued as ST13 of FIG. The main processing of the medicine accounting business for one patient who is the medicine supplier is ended.

The POS of this embodiment configured as described above
When using the terminal in a pharmacy of a hospital, the accounting staff of the pharmacy first inputs the patient code of the patient from the chart of one patient who is the drug supplier into the POS terminal by scanning or key operation. . Then PO
