In S23, the control unit 10 (destination information acquisition unit 17) acquires the transmission destination of the pharmacy corresponding to the instruction information.
In S24, the control unit 10 (destination information acquisition unit 17) determines whether or not the acquired contact number is a fax number. If it is a fax number (S24: YES), the control unit 10 shifts the process to S25. On the other hand, if it is not a FAX number, that is, if it is an e-mail address (S24: NO), the control unit 10 shifts the processing to S26.
In S25, the control unit 10 (data transmission request unit 18) requests the FAX server 7a to transmit the extracted drug history data and patient information. After that, the control unit 10 ends this process.
On the other hand, in S26, the control unit 10 (data transmission request unit 18) requests the e-mail server 7b to transmit the extracted drug history data and patient information. After that, the control unit 10 ends this process.

As described above, since the FAX device 8 is installed in many pharmacies, the control unit 10 of the information management server 1 can acquire the FAX number as the destination information. However, if some pharmacies wish to receive the e-mail (for example, when the fax number is not registered), the control unit 10 of the information management server 1 sends the e-mail address to the destination information. Get as.
Therefore, although the information management server 1 is basically fax transmission, the patient's drug history data and the like can also be transmitted by e-mail, and the information is output to a device (FAX device 8 or PC 9) that is easy to use at each pharmacy. It will be very convenient.

Next, the contents of the FAX transmitted to the pharmacy by the drug history data transmission system 100 will be described.
FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a configuration example of a fax document 80 transmitted to the fax machine 8 according to the present embodiment.

In S42, the control unit 40 (prescription data acquisition unit 48) activates the photographing unit 55 to make the prescription readable.

In S43, the control unit 40 (prescription data acquisition unit 48) reads the prescription p (see FIG. 1) by the operation of the patient with respect to the patient terminal 4.
In S44, the control unit 40 (prescription data transmission unit 49) transmits the prescription data obtained by reading the prescription p to the information management server 1. After that, the control unit 40 outputs, for example, to the touch panel display 57 that the prescription has been registered, and ends this process.
In S45, the control unit 10 of the information management server 1 receives the prescription data.
In S46, the control unit 10 (medicine history data registration unit 20) registers the drug history data included in the received prescription data in the drug history data storage unit 33 in association with the patient ID. After that, the control unit 10 ends this process.

Next, the process of registering patient information will be described.
FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing a patient information registration process of the drug history data transmission system according to the present embodiment.
When the button 61c is selected on the menu screen 61 shown in FIG. 4A, the control unit 40 of the patient terminal 4 accepts the patient information registration in S51 of FIG.
In S52, the control unit 40 inquires about patient information to the information management server 1. Specifically, the control unit 40 transmits the patient ID and requests the transmission of the patient data stored in the patient information storage unit 32.

In S53, the control unit 10 (patient information processing unit 22) of the information management server 1 extracts the patient information of the patient stored in the patient information storage unit 32.
In S54, the control unit 10 (patient information processing unit 22) generates an input form that reflects the patient information extracted in a predetermined input form, and transmits the input form to the patient terminal 4. The input form for items for which data is not registered in the patient information will be blank.
In S55, the control unit 40 of the patient terminal 4 receives the input form from the information management server 1 and outputs it to the touch panel display 57.
In S56, the control unit 40 accepts input to the input form by the patient.

In S57, the control unit 40 (patient information transmission unit 46) transmits the patient information input in the input form to the information management server 1 in response to the reception of the transmission instruction (not shown) by the patient. After that, the control unit 10 outputs to the touch panel display 57 that the transmission has been performed, and ends this process.
In S58, the control unit 10 (patient information processing unit 22) of the information management server 1 receives patient information from the patient terminal 4.
In S59, the control unit 10 (patient information processing unit 22) stores the patient information received in the patient information storage unit 32. After that, the control unit 10 ends this process.

With such a mechanism for registering patient information, the patient information stored in the patient information storage unit 32 of the information management server 1 can reflect the patient's condition. Even if you add a function to the medicine notebook application 51a that cannot be done without registering patient information when registering a prescription, or add a function to output a message prompting regular registration of patient information. good.

As described above, the drug history data transmission system 100 of the present embodiment has the following effects.
(1) When the patient terminal 4 transmits the current position information to the information management server 1, the information management server 1 identifies a pharmacy in the vicinity of the patient terminal 4 based on the current position information, and sends the FAX server 7a to the fax server 7a. Request the transmission of the patient's drug history data of the patient terminal 4 to the destination information of the specified pharmacy.
Therefore, the patient's drug history data can be transmitted to the FAX device 8 of the pharmacy where the patient of the patient terminal 4 is located, only by receiving the current position information from the patient terminal 4. At the pharmacy, by checking the fax document delivered to the fax device 8, it is convenient because the drug previously prescribed to the patient can be confirmed.
The patient does not need to perform complicated operations, and the patient terminal 4 does not need to be shown to the pharmacist at the pharmacy, so that the convenience can be improved.

(2) When the patient terminal 4 reads the prescription received by the patient from the medical institution and transmits the acquired prescription data to the information management server 1, the information management server 1 displays the drug history data included in the prescription data. It is registered in the drug history data storage unit 33 in association with the patient ID.
Therefore, the drug history data transmitted to the FAX device 8 can be registered in the drug history data storage unit 33 simply by the patient reading the drug history data using the patient terminal 4. Further, the drug history data can be registered in the drug history data storage unit 33 at an early timing.

(3) The information management server 1 acquires the pharmacy information related to the pharmacy specified by the current position information of the patient terminal 4 from the pharmacy information DB 34 and transmits it to the patient terminal 4, and the patient terminal 4 outputs the pharmacy information. do. Then, the patient terminal 4 transmits the instruction information related to the transmission of the drug history data to the pharmacy shown in the pharmacy information to the information management server 1, and when the information management server 1 receives the instruction information, the information management server 1 receives the instruction information. The transmission of the drug history data is transmitted to the FAX device 8 of the pharmacy.
Therefore, the patient can transmit the drug history data to the fax device 8 of the pharmacy after confirming the pharmacy to which the drug history data is transmitted, so that the information can be reliably transmitted to the pharmacy to be transmitted.

(4) The information management server 1 extracts patient information from the patient information storage unit 32 that stores patient information including the patient's medical history and allergic history in association with the patient ID, and extracts the patient information of the patient. The transmission is performed to the FAX server 7a together with the transmission of the drug history data.
Therefore, in the pharmacy, the patient information can be viewed together with the patient's drug history data from the FAX device 8, so that it is convenient to be able to obtain useful information together for giving medication instruction and the like.

(5) The information management server 1 sends an input form for inputting patient information to the patient terminal 4, receives the patient information input according to the input form from the patient terminal 4, and stores the patient information in the patient information storage unit 32. Remember.
Therefore, the patient only needs to input the patient information according to the input form, and the input can be made easy. Further, since the patient information input by the patient is stored in the patient information storage unit 32 and the stored patient information is transmitted to the pharmacy together with the drug history data, it can play the same role as the questionnaire.

For example, when a plurality of pharmacies are specified by the current position information of the patient terminal, the information management server transmits the pharmacy information of the plurality of pharmacies to the patient terminal, and the pharmacy terminal is at a distance from the current position information. Based on this, for example, pharmacy information may be output in order of proximity. By doing so, the patient can select the pharmacy in which he / she is located from the pharmacy information of a plurality of pharmacies and give an instruction to send a fax. Since the pharmacy information of a plurality of pharmacies is output based on the distance from the current location information, it is possible to easily find the pharmacy in which the patient is located.

(3) In the present embodiment, the information management server requests the fax server and the e-mail server to send the drug history data and the like as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this. If the information management server has a function of a fax server or an e-mail server, the information management server can directly transmit to a pharmacy device (fax device, PC, etc.).

(4) In the present embodiment, the present position information of the patient terminal is obtained from the radio wave received by the GPS receiving unit as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the current position information may be acquired by using the radio wave of the wi-fi base station or the like, and any means may be used as the method of acquiring the current position information.

(5) In the present embodiment, as an example of the method of acquiring the prescription data by the patient terminal, the method of acquiring the prescription data by using the photographing unit has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the patient may enter the information described in the prescription according to the input form.

(6) In the present embodiment, the method of acquiring pharmacy information with reference to the pharmacy information DB 34 has been described as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this. The information management server may acquire data directly from the pharmacy information DB server.
