Figure 3 illustrates a signal processing flow for the operation, billing and settlement of the electronic prescription in the electronic prescription system according to an embodiment of the present invention. Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.

First, when a patient visits a medical institution such as a hospital and receives medical treatment, a doctor who performs the patient's medical treatment prepares a prescription document when medication is required according to the patient's condition. At this time, the prescription document prepared as described above is transmitted to the hospital EMR device 100 is connected to the doctor's computer terminal device.

That is, the hospital EMR apparatus 100 generates an electronic prescription based on the prescription document of the patient transmitted from the computer terminal of the doctor connected through the internal communication network in the hospital (S400).

In this case, if necessary, the electronic prescription is encrypted using authentication information of the patient, and the generated electronic prescription is transmitted to the relay device 130 through the communication network (S402). The patient of the electronic prescription is provided with the corresponding authentication information so that the patient can download the electronic prescription from the pharmacy and perform decryption and reading when the patient visits the pharmacy, and the like is transmitted to the registered user terminal.

When the electronic prescription is received from the hospital EMR apparatus 100, the relay device 130 stores and manages the electronic prescription in the electronic prescription DB 140 (S404).

In addition, the patient who has completed the hospital treatment visits the pharmacy with the authentication information for reading the electronic prescription provided from the relay device 130 to provide the authentication information and request the medicine preparation. However, the patient may transmit the drug preparation request message to the selected pharmacy PMS device 150 by accessing the relay device 130 to the user terminal without visiting the pharmacy.

Accordingly, when receiving the authentication information from the patient, the pharmacy PMS device 150 requests the download of the electronic prescription corresponding to the authentication information to the relay device 130 through the communication network (S408).

Accordingly, the relay device 130 uses the authentication information received from the pharmacy PMS device 150 when the electronic prescription download request of the patient is received from the pharmacy PMS device 150 that has been requested to dispense the medicine from the patient, and the electronic prescription DB 140 In step S410, the electronic prescription matching the authentication information transmitted from the pharmacy PMS device 150 is managed from the electronic prescription managed in step (S410).

On the other hand, when receiving the electronic prescription request message that does not include the authentication information from the pharmacy PMS device 150, the relay device 130 requests the authentication information to the user terminal of the patient corresponding to the electronic prescription. When the authentication information is received from the user terminal, the electronic prescription is searched for (S410).

Subsequently, the relay device 130 searches for the electronic prescription of the patient based on the authentication information, reads the retrieved electronic prescription from the electronic prescription DB 140 (S412), and reads the read electronic prescription through the communication network pharmacy PMS device ( 150) (S414).

Then, when the pharmacy PMS device 150 receives the electronic prescription from the relay device 130, and displays it, and accordingly, the pharmacist of the pharmacy checks the electronic prescription to prepare the drug to the patient Will be provided.

When the medicine is completed, the pharmacy requests billing and payment in a predetermined billing method for the use of the electronic prescription (S418). In this case, the pharmacy completes payment through cash, card, mobile payment, and the like, and when the payment is completed, the pharmacy PMS device 150 transmits the charging information to the relay device 130 (S420).

The relay device 130 checks the received billing information, calculates an amount based on the electronic prescription information and the pharmacy information, and distributes the calculated cost. The hospital EMR device 100, the relay device 130, and the pharmacy PMS device Each profit is divided by 150 (S422).

Through this, each settlement cost, that is, the settlement cost is distributed to the hospital EMR device 100 (S424), and the settlement cost is distributed to the pharmacy PMS device 150 (S426).

Subsequently, when the settlement statistics information is requested from the hospital EMR device 100 or the pharmacy PMS device 150 to the relay device 130, the settlement statistics information requested by the relay device 130 is extracted from the settlement statistics DB 144. The hospital EMR device 100 or the pharmacy PMS device 150 is transmitted (S428).

As described above, the present invention transmits the electronic prescription generated in the medical treatment of the patient in the medical institution, such as a hospital in the electronic prescription system to the relay device, and the relay device transmits the electronic prescription to the pharmacy PMS device in the pharmacy PMS device Based on this, after the drug is manufactured for the patient, billing and payment are performed to transmit the billing information to the relay device, and the relay device distributes the settlement cost to the hospital EMR device and the pharmacy PMS device.

While the present invention has been described in connection with what is presently considered to be the most practical and preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments, but is capable of various modifications within the scope of the invention. Therefore, the scope of the present invention should not be limited to the described embodiments, but should be determined by the scope of the appended claims, and equivalents thereof.

As described above, the electronic prescription system, the hospital EMR device, the relay device, the pharmacy PMS device, and the settlement method according to the present invention relay the charging information by performing the billing and payment for the corresponding pharmacy using the electronic prescription in the pharmacy PMS device. In the case of receiving the settlement statistics information request message from the hospital EMR device or the pharmacy PMS device, the relay device distributes the settlement cost to the hospital EMR device and the pharmacy PMS device, and the relay device requests from the settlement statistics information stored in the settlement statistics DB. It is suitable for providing billing information and settlement statistics in the field of electronic prescription systems and statistical settlement information to each stakeholder.
