Description

Intelligent drug storage management system

This case is about an intelligent drug storage management system, especially an intelligent drug storage management system used to improve the accuracy of dispensing.

The pace of modern life has accelerated, and the speed standards for dispensing medicines in hospitals have been raised. Medical institutions have to introduce automated equipment to assist doctors, dentists, pharmacists and other dispensing personnel to speed up the dispensing process. However, for patients and dispensing personnel such as pharmacists, medication safety is more important than the speed of dispensing. While speeding up the dispensing process, it is often easier to make mistakes in the dispensing of drugs and dosage. Therefore, how to maintain accuracy while speeding up the dispensing process is an important issue.

In addition, when the dispensing staff finds that the amount of medicines on the dispensing table is insufficient, they will leave the dispensing table and go to the medicine storage to get the refilled medicines. In order to remember what kind of medicines on the dispensing table and how much refilling medicines are needed when storing them, the dispensing staff often need to use notes, memos and other means to record the relevant information of the medicines to be refilled, such as: five boxes of Panadol, 50 tablets of Amaryl, etc. However, this will consume more time and energy for the dispensing staff, and even when the relevant information of such medicines to be refilled is handed over to others for refilling, it may be easy to make reading errors. Therefore, how to propose a system that can speed up the accuracy and speed of refilling is also an important topic.

In view of the above topic, this case provides an intelligent drug storage management system including a plurality of electronic display labels and a control console. The electronic display label is used to display the drug information of a drug and prompt the location information of the drug. The control console is a signal connection between the medical institution host server with a drug database and the electronic display labels. The control console has a first user operation interface for users to operate the intelligent drug storage management system. The first user operation interface allows users to add, delete or modify the drug information.

In some embodiments, the electronic display label has a display area and a first prompt unit, the display area is used to display drug information, and the prompt unit is used to prompt the location information of the drug.

FIG10 is a three-dimensional schematic diagram of another embodiment of the intelligent drug storage management system of the present invention. In some embodiments, the intelligent drug storage management system 101 includes a plurality of electronic display labels 1[1], 1[2], 1[3], 1[4] and a control console 2. The plurality of electronic display labels 1[1], 1[2], 1[3], 1[4] are used to display drug information of a drug and to indicate the location information of the drug. The "drug information" and "drug location information" are the same as those described in the previous paragraph and will not be repeated. For example, in this embodiment, drug D1 is placed in space S1, drug D2 is placed in space S2, drug D3 is placed in space S3, and drug D4 is placed in space S4, wherein spaces S1 and S3 belong to the space in the first cabinet C1, and spaces S2 and S4 belong to the space in the second cabinet C2. In particular, space S3 refers to the space in the pull-out box, and space S4 refers to the space in the drawer. In other words, drug D1 is placed in space S1 in the first cabinet C1, drug D2 is placed in space S2 in the second cabinet C2, drug D3 is placed in space S3 in pull-out box T in the first cabinet C1, and drug D4 is placed in space S4 in drawer U in the first cabinet C2. When the user knows the position of the electronic display label 1[1], he will also know the position of the drug D1. Similarly, when the user knows the position of the electronic display labels 1[2] and 1[3], he will also know the position of the drugs D2 and D3. In particular, in this embodiment, since the electronic display label 1[4] only indicates the position of the drawer U, in this embodiment, the intelligent drug storage management system 101 further includes a second prompting unit 13, which is connected to the control console 2 by signal. The second prompting unit 13 is used to prompt the user of the exact position of the drug in the drawer U. The electronic display label 1[1] indicates the location information of the drug D1, the electronic display label 1[2] indicates the location information of the drug D2, the electronic display label 1[3] indicates the location information of the drug D3, and the electronic display label 1[4] cooperates with the second prompting unit 13 to indicate the location information of the drug D4. In this embodiment, the electronic labels 1[1], 1[2], 1[3], 1[4] have the same composition as the electronic labels 1[1] and 1[2] described in the previous paragraph, so they will not be repeated.

For example, in this embodiment, if the prescription contains drugs D1 and D3, after the user uses the scanner SC to read the drug identification features of the prescription, the console 2 will prompt the electronic display labels 1[1] and 1[3] connected to the console 2 signal, so that the user can obtain the location information of the drugs D1 and D3, and the user can know the drug information of the drugs D1 and D3 through the content displayed on the electronic display labels 1[1] and 1[3].

For another example, in this embodiment, if the prescription contains drugs D1 and D4, after the user uses the scanner SC to read the drug identification features of the prescription, the console 2 will prompt the electronic display labels 1[1] and 1[4] connected to the console 2 by signal, and the user can obtain the location information of the drugs D1 and D4. However, it should be noted that although the electronic display label 1[4] only provides that the drug D4 is located in the space S4 in the drawer U in the first cabinet C2, in this embodiment, the intelligent drug storage management system 101 further includes a second prompt unit 13, which is arranged inside the drawer U, and the second prompt unit 13 is connected to the console 2 by signal. The second prompt unit 13 is used to prompt the user of the exact location of the drug in the drawer U. When the user opens the drawer U, the second prompt unit 13 provides the user with the exact location of the drug D4 in the drawer. Therefore, the user can obtain the location information of the drug D1 through the first prompt unit 12 of the electronic display label 1 [1] and obtain the location information of the drug D4 through the first prompt unit 12 of the electronic display label 1 [4] in conjunction with the second prompt unit 13. In this embodiment, the electronic display label 1 [1] has a display area 11 to display at least one of the drug information such as the Chinese name of the drug, the English name of the drug, the scientific name of the drug, the characteristics of the drug, the warning, the easily confused drug, the location of the supplementary drug in the storage cabinet, the use of the drug, and the precautions when using the drug. On the other hand, in this embodiment, there are multiple drugs in the drawer U, and the electronic display label 1[4] has multiple display areas 11 and can simultaneously display drug information of multiple drugs. The user can obtain drug information of drugs D1 and D4 through the content displayed on the electronic display labels 1[1] and 1[4].

In addition, in other embodiments, the intelligent drug storage management system further includes an electronic lock control unit, which is connected to the control console signal. The user can control the electronic lock control unit through the control console or a mobile device connected to the control console signal. The user can set permissions or remotely control the electronic lock control unit to control drug usage permissions and prevent drugs from being stolen or improperly used.

In summary, the smart drug storage management system provided in this case replaces traditional paper drug labels with electronic display labels. The electronic display labels can be movably and replaceably set on the dispensing table and/or drug storage cabinet, and drug placement rack. The smart drug storage management system provided by some embodiments of the present invention, by setting up a plurality of electronic display labels and a control console connected to the host server of a medical institution with a drug database, allows users to operate the smart drug storage management system to obtain, add, delete and modify the drug information and/or location information and/or inventory information about the drug on the electronic display labels. The electronic display label displays drug information and the location information of the drug, which not only shortens the time spent in the dispensing process but also greatly improves the accuracy of the dispensing personnel when dispensing, thereby ensuring the safety of the medication for the users. In addition, in some embodiments, in addition to displaying drug information, the electronic display label further displays inventory information, making the process of dispensing personnel and other users more convenient in the process of refilling medication.
