Description

Prescription with two-dimensional barcode {TWO DIMENSION BARCODE TO POSSESSING PRECRIPTION}

The present invention relates to a system for preventing false dispensing due to forgery or misuse of prescriptions in a hospital. In particular, the contents of prescriptions are generated on a two-dimensional bar code after the patient's treatment in a hospital's office, and the prescriptions are printed or stickers. When the patient takes the prescription to the pharmacy and dispenses the medicine, the pharmacy recognizes the prescription's two-dimensional bar code to obtain the information to solve the problem caused by the error of the prescription. It relates to a prescription with a two-dimensional barcode.

In general, the development of information technology and diversification of thinking have led to diversification of solutions. One of them is a barcode-based solution, and barcodes can be classified into one-dimensional barcodes and two-dimensional barcodes.

One-dimensional barcodes are often found in the distribution sector in the form of bars. Recently, since the amount of information in the one-dimensional barcode symbol is so insufficient, several code systems with a large amount of information called two-dimensional barcode symbols have been developed. There are various types of two-dimensional barcodes, but the Technical Standards Institute sets four standards.

Currently, the symbol standards for two-dimensional barcodes are developed by Symbol Technologies of America (code name PDF-417), International Data Matrix (code name data matrix), UPS (code name maxi code), and Japanese Denso (code name QR code). Codes are used as standard.

In general, two-dimensional bar code can represent a large amount of data in a small rectangle, but because it can store more than 2,000 ~ 3,000 characters within an area of about 1cm horizontal / vertical, it has the advantage of serving as a small database itself, There are still disadvantages in that two-dimensional barcode related equipment and solutions are expensive.

In addition, according to the division of medicine, hospitals are in charge of medical treatment and treatment, and medicines are filled in pharmacies, and doctors write prescriptions each differently. In the case of pharmacists dealing with prescriptions, it is difficult to prepare prescription drugs.

Moreover, there have been cases where people wanting to obtain psychotropic medicines by counterfeiting prescriptions generated in hospitals have been the subject of social problems and concerns.

An object of the present invention for solving the above problems relates to a system for preventing a false prescription due to forgery or misuse of a prescription of a hospital, in particular, the two-dimensional barcode content of the prescription after the patient's treatment in the hospital's office If the patient takes the prescription to the pharmacy and dispenses the medicine, the pharmacy recognizes the prescription's two-dimensional bar code and obtains the information. It is to provide a prescription with a two-dimensional barcode for solving the problem of recognition.
