Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a dispensing system control device that automates dispensing operations performed in hospitals or pharmacies.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art The conventional dispensing business
When a doctor gives a prescription required for a patient, it is sequentially passed to each section divided by drug type, such as powder, external preparation, heat agent, and liquid medicine, and the required medicine is dispensed in each section. , After the final audit, they are taking the drug delivery method to the patient.

However, in such a method in which the prescription is sequentially passed to each dispensing section for dispensing, it takes a long time to deliver the drug to the patient, especially when a plurality of types of drugs are contained. I will end up.

In particular, the medical environment has changed in recent years, and not only the number of patients is increasing, but also multiple drugs are being used due to an increase in adult diseases, the number of administration days is increasing, and the number of medical staff is insufficient. As a result, the waiting time before receiving a patient's administration has become very long.

Therefore, as a method for shortening the dispensing time and reducing the waiting time of the patient, a method of performing dispensing operations in each dispensing section in parallel has been considered.

A dispensing system adopting this method is shown in FIG. 101 is a free-flow type transportation lane,
The bucket 102 moves on the transport lane 101.
The bucket 102 moves sequentially through the external preparation section 103, the liquid preparation section 104, the powder preparation section 105, the heat preparation section 106, the tablet packaging section 107, and the medicine bag printing section 108, and finally reaches the final inspection section 109. A return lane 110 is provided in the transportation lane 101. The return lane 110 is located before the external preparation section 103 when all the chemicals are not yet collected at the time when the bucket 102 passes through the medicine bag printing section 108. It's returned to the lane.

In the above configuration, at the time when the prescription number is assigned to the bucket 102 and flowed to the transportation lane 101,
Already, the data of the medicines required for dispensing by each prescription number are already transmitted to each dispensing section. Then, in each dispensing section, dispensing work is started at the same time based on the data. Then, when the dispensing is completed, the pharmacist inputs the prescription number for the completed prescription.

Bucket 10 assigned a prescription number
2 is an external preparation section 103 and a liquid preparation section 10
4. The powder is transferred to the powder section 105 and the like, and if the preparation in each section is completed, it is drawn into each section from the transfer lane 101. When the medicine completed in the relevant section is placed on the bucket 102, it is returned to the transportation lane and is transported to the next section. At this time, the bucket 102 passes through the section where there is no dispensing instruction.
In addition, when the medicine is conveyed to a section where the medicine is instructed but the medicine is not yet completed, the medicine is passed as it is. When all the necessary chemicals are not available at the time of passing through the medicine bag printing section 108, the return lane 110
It goes through each section until all necessary chemicals are gathered through the final audit section 109.
Be led to.

[0009]

In the above-mentioned dispensing system, since the dispensing work in each section is performed in parallel at the same time, it is possible to shorten the time until the dispensing is completed as compared with the case where each dispensing section is sequentially rotated. However, the time required to complete the dispensing is different in each dispensing section, and if even one dispensing is delayed, the prescription bucket 102 will remain on the transportation lane 101. When the number of the buckets 102 remaining on the transportation lane 101 increases, the new prescription buckets 102 cannot enter the transportation lane 101, and in the dispensing section where the dispensing time is short, the buckets 102 cannot be placed. The chemicals that cannot be used will overflow, the transport efficiency will decrease, and as a result the time for delivering the chemicals will increase.

In order to solve the above problem, a method of increasing the number of buckets 102 on the transportation lane 101 can be considered, but for that purpose, it is necessary to lengthen the transportation lane 101. In addition, if the transport lane 101 is lengthened, it takes a long time to go around each section, and as a result, it takes a long time for delivery. On the other hand, if the transport lane 101 is lengthened and the time for traveling around each section is shortened, it is necessary to introduce a high-speed and large-scale transport device.

That is, even if each dispensing operation is carried out in parallel, it is not possible to further reduce the time unless the transport efficiency for recovering each chemical is increased.

[0012] Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to improve the transportation efficiency for collecting each dispensed drug in a system in which each dispensing operation is performed in parallel.

In order to improve the transportation efficiency, it is an object of the present invention to reduce the number of medicines existing in the transportation process from the completion of preparation to the storage of all the medicines in one prescription.

More specifically, it is an object of the present invention to reduce the number of medicines present in the carrying process by reducing the dispersion of the preparation completion time of the medicines contained in one prescription.

When it is possible to dispense other prescriptions during the delay time period that occurs in order to reduce the variation in the completion time of the dispensing of the medicines contained in one prescription, prioritizing the dispensing of other prescriptions during the carrying process. The purpose is to reduce the number of chemicals existing in the container and to reduce the non-operating state of preparation and transportation.

Further, when the number of chemicals present during the carrying process increases, the purpose of the present invention is to prevent the carrying efficiency from being lowered by controlling at the stage of the dispensation instruction by the main stopper process.

Another object of the present invention is to reduce the number of medicines present during the carrying process by changing the order of the stored prescriptions.

Further, in the present invention, when a plurality of automatic tablet packing machines are used in a system in which each dispensing operation is carried out in parallel, it is possible to reduce the occurrence of manual addition of chemicals to the automatic tablet packing machine and The purpose of the present invention is to reduce the dispensing time in the automatic tablet packing machine by averaging the operations of the automatic tablet packing machines without performing the biased operation of some automatic tablet packing machines.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram in which the function realizing means represents the dispensing system control device of this embodiment, focusing on the functions necessary for realizing the present invention.

Input means 1 is drug data necessary for prescription,
Alternatively, it is a means for inputting various other data relating to the patient. Specifically, it is an input device installed in each medical department of a hospital, for example, internal medicine or surgery.

The patient data storage means 2 is a means for storing the drug data and the like input by the input means 1, is given a registration number for each patient, and shows the patient's name, address, age, etc. and past medical results. I remembered it. However, in the present embodiment, at least the data necessary for prescription dispensing may be stored, and the storage means may be distributed to each input device side.

The in-process prescription control means 3 is means for reading out the prescription data necessary for dispensing the prescription from the patient data stored in the patient data storage means 2 and outputting the prescription data to the instruction time control means 4. It is a means for controlling the number of in-process prescriptions during dispensing, or the number of dispensing cases based on dispensing instructions. That is, the in-process prescription control means 3 determines the timing of the dispensation section by timing the dispensation instruction according to the progress status of the dispensation, and further the transport status after the dispensation is completed and until the prescription is stored. This is a means for preventing a decrease in transport efficiency when a deviation occurs or a trouble occurs in some sections. The in-process prescription control means 3 controls the amount of data output to the prescription data storage means 3A that stores the prescription data necessary for dispensing and the data amount output to the instruction time control means 4 in order to perform the above functions. 3B is preferred. The prescription data storage means 3A
Is a very effective function in a large-scale hospital because the patient data amount is large, but in a small-scale hospital where the number of patients is limited, the patient data storage means 2 is not always necessary.
Need not be provided separately, and may be provided in each input device of the input means 1.

The data output control means 3B reads the prescription data from the prescription data storage means 3A at predetermined intervals and outputs the prescription data to the instruction time control means 4, and the prescription output from the data output means 3C. A data count means 3D for adding the number of data and subtracting the number of data for completion of dispensing, and an output stop means for stopping the data output means 3C when the count number is equal to or more than the set count number by the data count means 3D. Three
It is preferable to have E and.

At this time, the number of prescription data counted by the data counting means 3D may be the number of prescriptions, but it is possible to grasp the dispensing situation more by counting the number of dispensing cases for each dispensing section, and it is possible to determine the dispensing status of each dispensing section. It is preferable because it can be handled according to the processing capacity.

Therefore, in the case of counting the number of dispensings for each dispensing section, the limiting number according to each processing capacity is set in advance as a set count for each dispensing section, and at least one of the dispensing sections is set. It is assumed that the data output means 3C is stopped when the number of counts in the section exceeds the set count.

The instruction time control means 4 is a means for controlling the output time of the dispensing instruction means 5, and when one prescription is dispensed in each of two or more dispensing sections, the instruction time is adjusted for the dispensing section having a short dispensing time. It is a means to delay. More preferably, the dispensing sections are completed at the same time in each dispensing section.

In order to achieve the above function, the instruction time control means 4 presets and stores the average dispensing time for each dispensing section, and the dispensing time storage means 4A.
And a dispensing section requiring the longest dispensing time in one prescription from the dispensing times for each dispensing section stored in the dispensing time storage means 4A, and for other dispensing sections, the dispensing time requiring the longest dispensing time. It is preferable to have a delay time determining means 4B for determining the difference of the dispensing time with the section as a delay time, and an instruction time storing means 4C for storing the instruction time of each dispensing section from this delay time. The dispensing time storage means 4A stores the dispensing time itself required for each dispensing section, and also for each combination of dispensing sections in advance, based on the dispensing section requiring the longest dispensing time among the combinations,
The delay time may be stored in advance for each of the other dispensing sections. By storing the delay time for each combination in advance in this way, it is not necessary to perform arithmetic processing for each prescription, and it is known that the combination is statistically frequent and the combination that is not so frequently depending on the actual condition of each hospital. Therefore, there is an advantage that the system can be designed so that the processing time for searching or the like can be shortened.

The delay time determining means 4B preferably determines not only the delay time for each dispensing section but also the designated time from this delay time. At this time, in determining the designated time, it is preferable to consider the current time and the data in which the designated time has already been determined and stored. In other words, by taking into account the already determined data, if it is possible to dispense in each dispensing section of the new prescription before processing the prescription for which the designated time has already been determined, the dispensing of this new prescription is performed. The designated time can be determined so that the prescription whose designated time has already been determined is processed.

Further, the instruction time control means 4 preferably has a setting change means 4D capable of changing the contents of the dispensing time storage means 4A.

Here, the instruction time control means 4 takes into consideration the dispensing time for each dispensing section, but in the same dispensing section, the type and number of medicines or the dispensing method (for example, crushing of tablets) is also considered. Accordingly, by changing the set time required for the dispensing, the instruction time can be controlled with a time closer to the actual dispensing time.

Here, the dispensing section is mainly divided according to the dosage form. Specifically, there are an external preparation dispensing section, a heat preparation section, a liquid preparation section, a powder preparation section, and other automatic tablet parts. There is an automatic tablet dispensing and dispensing section on the packaging machine. However, the dispensation time for each dispensation section was considered because the dispensation required for one prescription is mainly performed by multiple pharmacists depending on the dosage form, and there is a large difference in the dispensation time depending on the dosage form. As long as two or more divisions of labor are performed for drugs required for prescription and simultaneous progress is possible, work time for each work may be considered.

The dispensing instruction means 5 is a means for outputting a dispensing instruction for each dispensing section. In this embodiment, the external agent instruction sheet output means 5 provided for the external agent dispensing section is provided.
A, liquid medication instruction sheet output means 5B provided for the liquid formulation dispensing section, powder instruction sheet output means 5C provided for the powder dispensing section, and heating agent provided for the heat agent dispensing section It comprises a manual instruction output means 5D and an automatic tablet packing machine control means 5E for controlling the output of the automatic tablet packing machine 6E. For the medicine bag, output separately,
Alternatively, it is possible to output each dispensing section separately, but since it is necessary to separately install a printing machine for drug bags, and because a prescription often contains a heating agent, the heating agent section It is preferable to output at the same time as the dispensing instruction sheet. It is also preferable to combine the prescription with the dispensation instructions for the heat agent.
Further, in the present embodiment, the instruction sheet is output except for the automatic tablet packaging machine 6E, but it may be displayed on the display.

In the present embodiment, each instruction is provided with a prescription number, an instruction number, and the number of dispensing instructions by a bar code. The order number is for identifying in which dispensing section the dispensing was performed.

Reference numeral 6 shows a dispensing operation section, 6A is an external preparation dispensing section, 6B is a liquid preparation section, and 6C.
Is a powder dispensing section, 6D is a heat dispensing section, and 6E is an automatic tablet dispensing machine.

The loading stocker 7 is used to place the medicines which have been prepared in the preparation section 6 other than the automatic tablet packaging machine 6E together with the preparation instruction sheet, and to guide the placed medicines to the medicine conveying means 8. .

The medicine conveying means 8 is means for conveying the medicines dispensed by the dispensation section 6 to the corresponding storage stocker 9, and the storage stocker 9 stores the medicines for each prescription.

The loading stocker 7 is provided with a dispensed medicine reading means 10 and a dropping instruction means 11. The dispensed medicine reading means 10 is a means for reading the dispensed medicine placed on the charging stocker 7. Specifically, a bar code reader is used to read the bar code printed on the dispensation instruction sheet to be placed together with the medicine. The dispensed medicine reading means 10 does not necessarily have to be provided in the loading stocker 7 and may be provided in each dispensing section 6. When provided in the loading stocker 7 as in the present embodiment, the chemical transfer means 8
Since it is possible to control which prescription medicine has been dropped onto the storage stocker 9 without re-identifying the dropped medicine.
Can lead to. Further, since the information is ready to be dropped onto the medicine transporting means 8 at any time, it is possible to guide the corresponding medicine to the storage stocker 9 immediately after allocating the prescription to the storage stocker 9, and a time for monopolizing the storage stocker 9 for one prescription. Can be shortened and the transfer efficiency can be improved. On the other hand, when provided in each dispensing section 6,
Since the completed information can be read immediately after the completion of the dispensing, the time required for the dispensing can be accurately managed, and the dispensing instruction can be output smoothly. Further, when a dispensing instruction is given on a display using a computer terminal, the dispensing completion information can be input at the terminal.

The dispensing completion information read by the dispensed medicine reading means 10 is output to the data counting means 3D of the in-process prescription control means 3 and the drop-down instructing means 11 and used for allocating the prescription to the storage stocker 9. .
A signal that can count the number of completed cases for each dispensing section is output to the data counting means 3D. Needless to say, when the above signal cannot be output only from the read information, necessary information can be obtained by referring to a file that manages various information such as the prescription data storage means 3A. .

The dropping instructing means 11 drops the medicine to the medicine conveying means 8 based on the information on the medicine placed on the loading stocker 7 from the prepared medicine reading means 10 and the empty bucket information from the bucket management means 12. It is a means to give instructions.

The bucket management means 12 monitors the availability of the buckets and informs the drop instruction means 11 that the buckets are empty as described above, and outputs the in-process prescription control means 3 when the empty bucket ratio decreases. It outputs a signal to the stopping means 3E. In addition, the bucket management means 12 identifies the bucket number and manages which prescription medicine was dropped on which bucket.

The storage stocker allocating means 13 is a means for allocating prescriptions to the storage stocker 9. More specifically, based on the information from the dispensed medicine reading means 10, a new prescription that has not been assigned yet is discriminated, and the vacancy status of the storage stocker 9 is managed. It is a means of assigning a new prescription.
In order to have the above-mentioned function, the storage stocker allocating means 13 has an allocation deciding means 13A for deciding whether the medicine read by the dispensed medicine reading means 10 is a prescription number which has already been read, and this allocation deciding means. An allocation waiting prescription storage unit 13B that stores the prescription number of the medicine determined to be a new prescription number by 13A, a storage stocker management unit 13C that manages the vacant status of the storage stocker 9, and a storage stocker management unit 13C store the stocker 9 in the storage stocker 9. When it is determined that a vacancy has occurred, the allocation waiting prescription storage means 13
It is preferable to have an allocation determining means 13D for allocating the prescription number stored in B to the storage stocker 9 in which a vacancy has occurred.

The allocation determining means 13D preferentially allocates the prescription containing only the medicine to be dispensed in the dispensation section having the short dispensation time, thereby shortening the time when one prescription occupies the storage stocker 9. That is, most of the medicines dispensed in the dispensing section having a short dispensing time have the necessary quantity, such as an external preparation and a heating agent, and there is little factor that the dispensing time becomes long. Therefore, for prescriptions containing only such drugs,
Since the completion time of each dispensing is almost as scheduled, it does not take a long time until all the medicines are stored in the storage stocker 9.

The allocation determining means 13D preferentially allocates a prescription having a small number of dispensing sections,
The time when one prescription occupies the storage stocker 9 can be further shortened.

Further, when a plurality of storage stockers 9 are provided for each inspecting seat, the allocating means 13D preferably prevents continuous allocation to the same inspecting seat. This can shorten the time taken out from the storage stocker 9 by evenly distributing the work amount for each inspection seat.

When there are a plurality of inspecting seats, an interruption switch is provided for each inspecting seat so that the storage stocker management means 13C can grasp the work interruption status and do not allocate new allocation to the inspection seat in the work interruption state. Is also preferable.

Next, FIG. 2 shows a state in which each device of the dispensing system according to one embodiment of the present invention is arranged.

The medicine transporting means 8 has a structure in which a plurality of buckets 8A circulate. Further, a storage stocker 9, a loading stocker 7, and an automatic tablet packing machine 6E are arranged on the outer periphery of the medicine conveying means 8.

First, although not shown, in the computer,
First, in order to carry out parallel dispensing for each dispensing section, data is sorted for each dispensing section from the drug data on the prescription. Then, in order to match the dispensing completion time in each dispensing section, the time at which the dispensing instruction sheet is output is determined for each dispensing section. When the determined time comes, data is sent to the powdered medicine instruction sheet output means 20, the heat agent instruction sheet output means 22, the external agent instruction sheet output means 24, and the liquid medicine instruction sheet output means 26, and the dispensation instruction sheet is displayed. Is output.
Then, in each dispensing section, dispensing will be performed according to this dispensing instruction.

In the powder dispensing section, the dispensing is performed with weighing of the powdered medicine. The pharmacist arranged in the powder dispensing section receives the instruction from the powder instruction output means 20, takes out the medicine necessary for the dispensing from the powder shelf 17 based on the instruction, and weighs it on the powder table 18, After inspection and mixing, packaging is performed by the packaging machine 19. Since the dispensing time varies depending on the number of medicines, the number of weighings, etc., it is calculated from these various factors.

In the heat agent preparation section, a tablet and a capsule of the heat agent, and a preformulation of powder, water solution and external preparation are prepared. In other words, the heat agent dispensing section is focused on counting agents. The pharmacist arranged in the heat agent dispensing section performs the procedure by aligning the required number of medicines on the heating shelf 21 based on the dispenser instruction sheet output from the heat agent instruction sheet output means 22. The dispensing time varies depending on the arrangement of the heat shelf and the pharmacist, but is mainly calculated by the number of drugs because it is mainly affected by the number of drugs.
