Description

Dispensing device and dispensing method for inpatient prescription

The invention relates to a dispensing device and a dispensing method, in particular to a dispensing device and a dispensing method for inpatient prescriptions.

Unit Dose Distribution System (UDDS) is that in the drug treatment of hospitalized patients, the medicines taken by the patients are completely formulated into single-dose packages by the pharmacists, stored in the medicine boxes of the medicine carts, and then distributed by the pharmacists. Nursing staff pick up the medicine cart from the pharmacy at a fixed time every day, and administer the medicine according to the name, drug name, and taking time indicated on the label of each single dose, instead of the traditional way of dispensing and dispensing by the nursing staff at the nursing station.

When the patient is admitted to the ward, the nursing staff will fill in the name, identity, bed number, medical record number, age, gender, height, weight, main disease, admission date, and the name of the attending physician on the patient's medication record card according to the medical records. , department and other columns, and send it to the pharmacy as a patient admission notice. The physician then separates the medication order from other orders and writes the order on a single-dose prescription. Before each prescription is sent to the pharmacy, the nursing staff must first check the relevant patient information on the prescription, whether it is filled in correctly, and whether the doctor has signed or stamped it. to the pharmacy.

After receiving the prescription, the pharmacist should first check the content of the prescription, including the dosage, frequency of use, incompatibility, allergy records, drug interactions, etc., and then prepare the medicine according to the medication record card. patient use. For example, if the prescription is sent to the pharmacy before 3:00PM, during the period of taking the medicine according to the patient, first give the required amount at 3:00PM on the day (including the medicine used at 3:00PM), and the nursing staff will take it back and put it in the pharmacy cart of the ward. In the medicine box, the pharmacist registers the quantity in the first day's dose column of the patient's medication record card. The medicines needed from 5:00PM on the same day to 5:00PM on the next day will be placed in the medicine box of the pharmacy medicine cart and will be used when the medicine cart is exchanged. The names and bed numbers of newly admitted patients must be marked on the medicine boxes of the two medicine carts in the ward and the pharmacy. Those who are sent to the pharmacy after 5:00PM will be given the amount until 5:00PM the next day, and the nursing staff will take it back and put it in the medicine box of the ward medicine cart.

However, it is not only time-consuming for the nursing staff to pick up the medicine box placed in the medicine cart, but it is also prone to omissions in manual verification, which results in the inability to effectively improve the work efficiency, and the control of the medicine box collection cannot be grasped immediately.
