T I I 96) DR. PM n no! REED Anouss COMPOSITE PRESCRIPTION FORM Current prescription filling practice is such that it takes approximately 7 minutes for the pharmacist to type the prescription and copy thereof, prescription label, sack label, patient record and store record. Obviously, any reduction of this 7 minute period would be highly economically desirable.
Therefore, it is a principal object of this invention to provide a composite prescription form.
A further object of this invention is to provide a composite prescription form which includes five individual parts which are detachably secured together in a superposed relationship.
A further object of this invention is to provide a composite prescription form for use with new prescriptions.
A further object of this invention is to provide a composite prescription form for use with refill prescriptions.
A further object of this invention is to provide a composite prescription form which substantially reduces the time needed for typing various forms connected therewith.
A further object of this invention is to provide a composite prescription form including a three-line part which is designed for use with a permanent patient prescription ledger card.
A further object of this invention is to provide a composite prescription form wherein information is transferred from one part of the form to another to eliminate the necessity of individually typing the same.
A further object of this invention is to provide a composite prescription form which is convenient to use.
A further object of this invention is to provide a composite prescription form which provides a convenient and accurate record.
A further object of this invention is to provide a composite prescription form which is economical of manufacture, and refined in appearance.
These and other objects will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
This invention consists in the construction, arrangements, and combination of the various parts of the device, whereby the objects contemplated are attained as hereinafter more fully set forth, specifically pointed out in the claims, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. I is a top view of the form;
FIG. 2 is an exploded top view of the form illustrating the individual portions of the form;
FIG. 3 is a sectional view as seen along lines 33 of FIG. 1;
FIG. 4 is a top view of a modification of the form;
FIG. 5 is an exploded top view of the form of FIG. 4;
FIG. 6 is a sectional view as seen along line 6-6 of FIG. 4; and
FIG. 7 is a fragmentary view of a ledger card adapted to have the fifth part of the first form or the third part of the second form detachably secured thereto for a permanent patient record.
The composite prescription form of FIGS. 1-3 is generally designated by the reference numeral 10 and includes parts 12, 14, l6, l8 and and may be constructed of paper generally described as of the pressure sensitive type so that information will be transferred between the various parts of the form but it is preferred that the forms be constructed of conventional paper which would require that carbons 22, 24, 26 and 28 be employed.
The parts and carbons are assembled in a superposed relationship and are secured at their upper ends by any convenient means such as adhesive or the like and such relationship is best illustrated in FIG. 3.
1. Being able to find the prescription number if the patient loses the prescription;
2. For reference by the patients doctor;
3. For insurance purposes for the patient;
4. For income tax purposes for the patient;
5. For control for drug abuse drugs; and
6. For control of allergies to medication for the patient. Card 90 may be photocopied at the end of the calendar year and a copy given to the patient for his income tax and insurance purposes. it may also be photocopied any time during the year necessary to fill these demands.
FIGS. 4-6 illustrate a modification of the form and is referred to by the reference numeral 100. Form 100 is a three part form comprised of parts 102, 104 and 106 and carbons 108 and 110. Form 100 is a refill prescription form and is substantially identical to form to the extent that parts 102, 104 and 106 correspond to parts 12, 14 and of form 10 respectively. The only difference on this form is the omission of parts corresponding to parts 16 and 18 and in the omission of a preprinted prescription number. The remaining difference is that form 100 does not have the letter N" which denotes new prescriptions such as in part 12 of form 10.
Upon receiving a new prescription, the pharmacist would place a form 10 in a typewriter and type the following information:
Date in area 54;
Patients name in area 60;
Cost of the prescription in area 62;
A one line abbreviation of the ingredients of the prescription in area 64;
Doctors name in area 68;
lndicate whether the prescription is refillable in area 70;
and
Address of patient in area 72.
The pharmacist would then type the prescription instructions in area 74 and would indicate the proper national drug code lBM number in area 78. The pharmacist filling the prescription would then type or write his initials in area 82 and would type or write the actual prescription in full detail in area 88. The refill directions would be indicated in area 86 and the doctor's name, address and registry number would be also filled in.
When the fonn 10 has been completed in the manner indicated above, portion 34 would be torn from the form 10 and portions 38 and 40 separated by means of the perforated tear line 36. Portion 38 would be secured or attached to the prescription itself since portion 38 has the prescription instructions and pharmacy label thereon. Portion 40 would be placed on a spindle or the like to provide a convenient means for the pharmacy to check the daily business. Carbon 22 may also be removed from the form 10 at this time if it is convenient to do so. Part 14 would then be torn from the form 10 along the perforated tear line 93 and would be used as a sack label once the prescription has been placed in the customer's sack. The sack label contains all of the pertinent information thereon since the typing of the same on part 12 would be reproduced thereon due to the carbon 22 being positioned therebetween. Carbon 24 may then be removed from the form 10 if it is convenient or desirable to do so. Part 16 would be torn from the form 10 along the perforated tear line 95 and is the prescription itself. Part 16 contains all of the previous information besides having the actual refill directions of the doctor, the doctor's name, address and registry number and also having a space to write or type the actual prescription in full detail. Part 16 would then be placed in the proper pharmacy file, Part 18 would also be removed from the form 10 and would be properly filed if it is necessary to maintain a duplicate copy for filing in cases of narcotics or drug abuse drugs. The pharmacist may also wish to mail part 18 to the doctor if the prescription was conveyed to the pharmacy by way of telephone. Part 20 is then torn from the form 10 along the perforated tear line 99 and is placed on the prescription ledger card as indicated previously. Thus it can be seen that a composite prescription form has been provided wherein the pharmacist need only type the information once and result in providing a prescription label, daily record, sack label, actual prescription, duplicate copy of the prescription and a part which is secured to the patients prescription ledger card. It has been found that the use of the form 10 results in a savings of approximately 3 minutes per prescription which results in approximately2 5 cents labor costs being saved per prescription. Form 10 also provides a convenient and accurate system of maintaining the proper pharmacy records with a minimum of time.
In summary, form 10 permits the accomplishment of several basic procedures in a single operation. The form serves as a label; a record for the store of the dollar amount and the numerical amount of new prescriptions; it provides a label for a delivery sack or pickup sack; it provides the original prescription; it provides a copy of the original prescriptions; and it provides the record form in the form of a stick-on piece attached to a permanent ledger card to maintain a patients record system. All of the above steps are accomplished in one operation thereby saving many valuable minutes of the pharmacists time. Form 100 provides all of the above features with the exception of the original prescription and copy thereof. While the foregoing has described that the parts 12, 14, 16, 18 and 20 are individually torn from the form 10, it is also convenient to simultaneously tear the parts 12, 14, 16 18 and 20 from the form 10.
Thus it can be seen that the forms accomplish at least all of their stated objectives.
Some changes may be made in the construction and arrangement of my Composite Prescription Form without departing from the real spirit and purpose of my invention, and it is my intention to cover by my claims, any modified forms of structure or use of mechanical equivalents which may be reasonably included within their scope.
