Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a control device for a medicine packaging machine for causing the medicine packaging machine to perform packaging operations corresponding to a prescription.

[Prior Art] Generally, when a doctor prescribes a drug for a patient to take, a prescription includes not only the drug but also instructions on how to take the drug. In principle, for drugs to be taken every day, the daily dose, number of doses, and number of days are instructed, and for drugs to be taken when a specific symptom appears, the dosage, symptoms to be taken, and number of times to be taken are specified. be done. Furthermore, regarding the number of times of dosing, there are some drugs that are instructed to take them at times such as morning, noon, and evening, and some drugs that are instructed to be taken at fixed time intervals such as every 6 hours or every 12 hours. In addition to expressions such as minute 3 (i.e. morning, lunch, evening) and minute 4 (i.e. morning, lunch, evening, before going to bed), etc., usages such as before meals and after meals are also indicated. be.

On the other hand, drug packaging machines only allow one drug to be taken at a time.
By packaging them together in a package, patients can take them reliably and easily. Therefore, for example, drugs that should be taken before meals and drugs that should be taken after meals are packaged together in one package. Also, in principle, drugs for which the dosing time is specified and drugs for which the dosing time interval is specified should not be packaged together in one package, and furthermore, drugs for which the number of times of dosing is specified should not be packaged together. Do not package medicines that are prescribed for specific symptoms in one package. On the other hand, for example, a 3-minute drug and a 4-minute drug may be packaged together in one package if the usage is the same for the morning, noon, and evening doses, or they may differ by about 12 hours. Depending on the type, drugs to be taken before or after meals in the morning and evening and drugs to be taken every 12 hours may be packaged together in one package, and drugs that differ only in number of days may be packaged together. It is also possible to package the overlapping days in one package.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, as shown in the operation screen of the conventional drug packaging machine, the control device for the conventional drug packaging machine has multiple drug names and the four doses for each drug. ,
By specifying a common number of days for each drug, the drug packaging machine was operated so that all the drugs displayed on the same screen were packaged into one package. The worker must calculate and enter the four doses for each dose based on the daily dose and number of doses taken.
For example, when packaging a medicine for 3 doses and a medicine for 4 doses in one package for morning, noon, and evening doses, the worker checks the prescription to see if their usage is the same. You have to judge and input only the drugs that are the same, and if you input the wrong drugs by mistake, for example, a drug that should be taken before a meal and a drug that should be taken after a meal may be packaged together in one package. It will be done.

In addition, in the four fields for entering each dose,
If the characters ``Morning,''``Noon,''``Evening,'' and ``Sleep'' are displayed, and if these indications actually represent the morning, noon, evening, and bedtime periods of taking the medication, then it should be taken every 6 hours. , it will not be possible to input a drug for which the dosing time interval is specified, such as every 12 hours, and if this display simply means the first, second, third, or fourth dose, It would not be possible to distinguish between using these four columns for the dosing time period and for the dosing time interval, so in any case, for example, approximately 12
Medicines to be taken before or after meals in the morning and evening at different times and medicines to be taken every 12 hours cannot be packaged together in one package, even if they can be taken at the same time.

Furthermore, regarding the number of days, it is only possible to input the number of days of one type common to all drugs displayed on one screen, so for example, drugs that differ only in number of days can be entered for the number of days that overlap with each other in one package. cannot be packaged together. In addition, when inputting prescriptions while looking at them, operator judgment is required at various points, especially distinguishing between drugs that can be processed on the same screen (i.e., can be taken at the same time) and drugs that cannot be processed (i.e., cannot be taken at the same time). However, only drugs that can be processed on the same screen must be selected from the prescription and entered, and after the processing is finished and the screen display disappears, the same operation must be repeated for the remaining drugs, which makes the operation difficult. It is cumbersome and inefficient, and if the wrong operation is performed, there are problems such as drugs that should not be taken at the same time being packaged together in one package.

This invention solves the above-mentioned problems of the conventional methods, and allows the prescription information shown on the prescription to be used by simply inputting the prescription information without determining whether the drugs can be taken at the same time. It is an object of the present invention to provide a control device for a drug packaging machine that can package drugs that can be taken at certain times into one package.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a control device for a drug packaging machine that is equipped with a means for inputting prescription information shown in a prescription, and provides a control device for a drug packaging machine that is provided with a means for inputting prescription information shown in a prescription. an input control means for discriminating prescription information for each drug; a plurality of drug-specific prescription information storage means for storing the prescription information discriminated by the input control means for each drug; and each drug-specific prescription information storage means. A classification means for determining medicines that can be taken at the same time from prescription information for each medicine stored in the computer and classifying these medicines from other medicines, and a medicine packaging machine are operated to classify the medicines by the classification means. and a packaging control means for dividing the medicines that can be taken at the same time into one package.

[Operation] By adopting the above means, this invention automatically determines which drugs can be taken at the same time by simply inputting prescription information, and uses this determination result to operate a drug packaging machine. will be asked to carry out the necessary packaging work.

Next, the operation of the above will be explained.

First, the user operates the operation key group 5 to input prescription information shown in the prescription. In other words, drug name key 6
, enter the drug name for one drug indicated on the prescription, and then use the numeric keypad 7, dosing time key 8, usage key 9, dosing time interval key 10, or symptom key 11 to enter the drug name for the drug in question. Enter the dosing instructions indicated on your prescription. Next, operate the drug name key 6 to enter the name of the other drug shown in the prescription, and press the numeric keypad 7, dosing time key 8, usage key 9, dosing time interval key 10, or symptom key 11. Enter the method of taking the drug as indicated on the prescription. In the same manner, the drug name and dosage method are entered for all drugs indicated in the prescription. At this time, it is sufficient to simply input the drugs without determining whether the drugs indicated in the prescription can be taken at the same time.

The drug names and dosing methods inputted in this way are distributed and stored for each drug via the input control logic 15 in the drug-specific prescription information logic 16, 16, . At the end of all input operations for one prescription shown in the prescription, use the classification selection keys 12, 13, and 14 to determine whether to use the usage classification logic 17, the dosing time classification logic 18, and the number of days classification logic 19, respectively. Choose one.

For example, when the usage classification logic 17 is used, each drug-specific prescription information logic 16, 16, . . .
From all the dosing time period data and usage data of the prescription information for each drug stored in Data is input to the packaging control logic 20 via the enable line 17a, and data on dosing times and usage for other drugs is input to the packaging control logic 20 via the disable line 17b.
and prescription information logic 1 for each drug.
Among the prescription information for each drug stored in 6, 16, . Thereby, the packaging control logic 20 operates the medicine packaging machine 4 so that medicines whose dosing times at least partially overlap and whose usage is the same are packaged together in one package;
As a result, for example, medicines for portion 3 and medicine for portion 4, which have the same usage, are packaged together in one package for three doses: morning, noon, and evening.

For example, when the dosing time classification logic 18 is used, the prescription information logic 16 for each drug,
16. From all the dosing time zone data and dosing time interval data of the prescription information for each drug stored in..., the dosing time zone and dosing time interval data for drugs that can be taken at the same time are calculated. Data on the dosing time period and dosing time interval for other drugs is input to the packaging control logic 20 via the enable line 18a, and data on the dosing time period and dosing time interval for other drugs is input to the packaging control logic 20 via the disable line 18b.
and prescription information logic 1 for each drug.
Among the prescription information for each drug stored in 6, 16, . As a result, the packaging control logic 20 controls the drug packaging machine so that the drugs for which the dosing time period is specified and the drugs for which the dosing time interval is specified are packaged together in one package. 4, and as a result,
For example, medicines to be taken before or after meals in the morning and evening, which are about 12 hours apart, and medicines to be taken every 12 hours should be combined in one package, unless they are of a type that should not be taken at the same time. It will be packaged.

For example, when the days classification logic 19 is used, each drug-specific prescription information logic 16,1
6. Data on dosing time, usage, and number of days for drugs that differ only in the number of days from all dosing time data, usage data, and number of days data of the prescription information for each drug stored in... is input to the packaging control logic 20 via the enable line 19a, and data on the dosing time, usage, and number of days for other drugs is input to the packaging control logic 20 via the disable line 19b, and data for each drug is Prescription information logic 16,
Of the prescription information for each drug stored in 16, . . . , all drug name, daily dose or single dose, symptoms, number of days, or frequency data are directly input into the packaging control logic 20. Thereby, the packaging control logic 20 operates the drug packaging machine 4 so that drugs that differ only in the number of days are packaged together in one package for the number of overlapping days, and as a result, for example, only the number of days is different. 7 days worth of medicines and 14 days worth of medicines are 1 for the first 7 days.
Each batch will be packaged together in one package.

Furthermore, by appropriately combining the usage classification logic 17, the dosing time classification logic 18, and the number of days classification logic 19, the packaging control logic 20 can be implemented.
The drug packaging machine 4 is operated in an appropriate combination mode.

In addition, in the above embodiment, three classification logics, the usage classification logic 17, the dosing time classification logic 18, and the number of days classification logic 19, were illustrated as the classification means 2, but the invention is not limited to this, and in the above embodiment, the input Although the input method by operating the operation key group 5 is illustrated as means 1, other appropriate input methods may be used. In addition, in the above example, the drug name, daily dose, and
Data on daily dose, number of days, frequency, dosing time, usage, dosing time interval, and symptoms are provided for each drug, including drug name, daily dose or single dose, dosing time or dosing time interval, usage, and symptoms. , number of days or number of times, but the present invention is not limited to this, and in the above embodiment, the classification selection keys 12, 13 are used at the end of all input operations for one prescription indicated in the prescription. , 14 to select whether or not to use the usage classification logic 17, the dosing time classification logic 18, and the number of days classification logic 19, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Furthermore, in the above embodiment, data on the dosing time period and data on usage are inputted into the usage classification logic 17 from among the prescription information for each drug stored in the prescription information logic 16, 16, . . . Input the band data and dosing time interval data into the dosing time classification logic 18, enter the dosing time band data, usage data, and number of days data into the number of days classification logic 19, and input the drug name data and daily Although the amount or single dose data, the symptom data, and the number of days or frequency data are directly input into the packaging control logic 20, the present invention is not limited to this, and the present invention can be applied to the various embodiments described above. It goes without saying that changes and modifications are possible.

[Effects of the Invention] Since the present invention is configured as described above, by simply inputting the prescription information shown on the prescription without determining whether the drugs can be taken at the same time, the same medicines can be taken simultaneously. Medicines that can be taken at the same time can be packaged together in one package, so for example, a 3-part medicine and a 4-part medicine with the same usage can be packaged together.
Medicines taken before or after meals in the morning and evening, which are about 12 hours apart, and medicines taken before or after meals in the morning and evening, and medicines taken every 12 hours. Unless they are of a type that should not be taken at the same time, the medicines to be taken are packaged in single-dose packages, or the medicines for 7 days and the medicines for 14 days, which differ only in the number of days, are packaged together. This has excellent effects such as allowing the drug packaging machine to automatically package each dose for the first 7 days into one package.
