Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an apparatus for calculating a dispensing fee in a dispensing pharmacy or the like, and more particularly to a method for inputting a category such as internal use and external use.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a dispensing pharmacy or medical institution, when a medicine dispensed according to a prescription is handed to a patient, the contents of the prescription are described in a dispensing remuneration statement (hereinafter referred to as a "recept") for each patient and submitted to an insurance organization. Claim your premium. At that time, it is required that the prescription described in the receipt be described by “category” and that the tally by “category” be also described. Here, the category indicates how the medicine is used, and "internal use",
"Unnecessary", "External use", "Injection", "Intravenous drops", and "Specific insurance medical material" are designated. Oral medicine and pill medicine are oral medicines, so-called swallowing medicines, but oral medicines are medicines that are taken at regular or regular times, such as after each meal or before going to bed,
On the other hand, one-time medication is a drug that is taken arbitrarily as needed, such as at the time of fever or pain. The dispensing technical fees and partial patient fees also differ depending on the difference between these categories.

Conventionally, when a prescription content is input to a dispensing remuneration calculator, at least the medicine used, its quantity and number of times,
Then, the usage and the division were input. At this time, since it is troublesome to input the name of the medicine, a medicine code representing the medicine is provided, and the medicine code is input. The usage also indicates when to take the medicine, but in addition to simple patterns such as after each meal and before going to bed, there are also various patterns such as gradual increase and every other day. A device has been devised to simplify the work by inputting.

[0004] Then, according to the prescription, the operator first inputs a category corresponding to the prescription described therein, then inputs a drug code, a quantity and the number of times, and then inputs a usage code representing usage of the prescription. Was. However, the classification is rarely described in the prescription.

[0005]

The medicine is roughly divided into an internal medicine and an external medicine. Rarely, a troche or the like is used in the mouth as an internal medicine, but it is dissolved in water. Some mouthwashes can also be used externally. In addition, some medicines can be used either internally or in the form of drops, but if they are taken in the form of drugs, they will be less likely to be charged for the patient, so they may be prescribed as drugs. Cannot be decided as one. In addition, the same internal medicine is treated differently between internal medicine and prescription medicine, and since many medicines can be used both internally and prematurely, it is not possible to determine the classification by medicine unit.

Therefore, for example, for internal medicines, all categories are set in advance to internal medicine and stored in a drug code, and the prescriptions of internal medicines are set so that all categories are set to internal medicine for the time being. Only when used for the prescription, the category was specified, and it was changed from internal use to each category.

[0007] However, since it is not described in the prescription whether the prescription is a one-time prescription, the operator has determined the classification by judging from how to drink. Therefore,
Wrong classification could be entered. In addition, the operator must always be aware of whether any prescription is taken or not, which is a heavy burden.

[0008]

According to the present invention, there is provided an apparatus for calculating a dispensing fee by inputting the usage of a medicine by a usage code, wherein information indicating a category is added to the usage code and stored, and the time of prescription input is stored. The above problem is solved by determining the category of the usage code and calculating the prescription according to the category.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a dispensing reward calculator according to an embodiment. In the figure, reference numeral 15 denotes a processing device for executing processing according to a predetermined program, 16 denotes a display device such as a CRT for displaying processing results and an input screen, 17 denotes an input device such as a keyboard for inputting data by an operator, Reference numeral 18 denotes a printer such as a laser beam printer, and 10 denotes a file device such as a hard disk device. The file device 10 includes a medicine code file 11 that stores a medicine code used when an operator inputs prescription data, a medicine name and a drug price associated with the code, and a prescription such as after each meal or before going to bed. A usage code file 12 for storing usage codes representing types of drinking styles,
It stores a unique data file 13 for storing unique data such as a patient's name and an insurer number, and a prescription data file 14 for storing prescription data described in a receipt for each patient. The prescription stored in the prescription data file 14 is
It is stored separately for each category such as whether it is internal or unprepared.

[0010] Here, the way of taking or using the medicine is an instruction concerning the timing and dosage of the prescribed medicine described in the prescription, and is divided into several patterns. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4, in the embodiment, a usage code such as “# 210” is attached to these usages, and the usages are input using the codes. Furthermore, the usage is further divided into "internal use", "internal use", "external use", "injection", "internal use drop" and "specified insurance medical material" according to the difference in how to drink and use, and the respective categories are added. And stored in the usage code file 12. FIG. 3 shows the structure of the usage code. One code data is a code 31 such as "# 210" described above, drinking information 32 indicating a pattern of taking, and classification information indicating internal or unfilled clothes. 33.

Next, the input of the division in the embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. When the operator inputs the medicine code, the quantity, the number of times, and the usage code according to the prescription from the input device 17 (step S201), the processing device 15 searches the usage code file 12 based on the input usage code, and retrieves the corresponding code data. Read (S202). Then, the classification information 33 stored in the code is determined (S20
3). In the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, the categories of internal medicine and specific insurance medical material are 21, 22, 23, 24, and 2, respectively.
5 and 26. Therefore, if the usage code classification information 33 is 21, the prescription is processed as an internal medicine and stored in the prescription data file 14 (S204). Also,
If the usage code classification information 33 is 22, the prescription is processed as a prescription medicine and stored in the prescription data file 14 (S205). Hereinafter, similarly, if the classification information 33 of the usage code is 23, it is processed as an external medicine (S206), and the classification information
If 33 is 24, it is processed as an injection (S207), if the classification information 33 is 25, it is processed as an internal medicine (S208), and if the classification information 33 is 26, it is specified insurance. It is processed as a medical material (S209).

As described above, the processing device 15 processes each prescription separately into prescriptions such as internal use and single use according to the classification information 33 added to the usage code, and stores the prescriptions in the prescription data file 14. In this way, different dispensing technology fees and partial patient fees are calculated correctly for each category,
It outputs an accurate receipt.

[0013]

According to the present invention, when a prescription is input, the prescription 1
Since there is no need to input a section for each one, the number of key touches is reduced and workability is improved. In addition, since it is not necessary to determine whether or not it is necessary to change the internal use to one-off use, the burden on the worker is greatly reduced.
