JP 2020-34993 A

Here, when online medical consultations are performed, the prescription information is sent to the pharmacy's terminal. However, in an environment where online medical consultations and medication instructions are provided, it is possible that someone who has not performed online medical consultations could generate fake prescription information and send it to the pharmacy's terminal, increasing the possibility that medicines will be received fraudulently compared to when a paper prescription is issued. Similarly, even someone who has performed online medical consultations could tamper with the prescription information before it reaches the pharmacy's terminal, and since tampering cannot be determined from the paper quality, printing condition, and character font, as is the case with paper prescriptions, it increases the possibility that medicines will be received fraudulently.

As such, when providing online medical consultations or online medication instructions, there is a higher chance that medicines will be fraudulently received than when handling paper prescriptions.

The present invention has been made to solve these problems, and its purpose is to provide an information processing device, an information processing method, an information processing program, and a recording medium that can reduce the possibility of medicines being fraudulently received.

The information processing device according to the present invention is an information processing device that receives prescription information having information on medicines to be issued to a patient and medical institution information indicating the issuing medical institution, including information on the name and location of the medical institution, from a medical institution, and transmits the received prescription information to a pharmacy terminal provided in a pharmacy, and includes a first storage means that stores information on the name and location of the medical institution so as to be able to identify a certified medical institution for which online medical treatment is permitted, a second storage means that stores information for which a certified pharmacy for which online medication instruction is permitted is identified, remote response information that is associated with the prescription information, indicates that online medical treatment has been performed at the certified medical institution, and that online medication instruction can be performed at the certified pharmacy, and a transmission method for the prescription information. a control means for determining, when receiving destination information indicating a destination pharmacy, whether the prescription information has been sent from the certified medical institution based on the medical institution information and the information stored in the first storage means, and determining, based on the information stored in the second storage means, whether the destination pharmacy indicated by the destination information is the certified pharmacy; and, when determining that the prescription information was sent from the certified medical institution and that the destination pharmacy indicated by the destination information is the certified pharmacy, sending the prescription information to the destination pharmacy indicated by the destination information; and, when determining that the prescription information was not sent from the certified medical institution or that the destination pharmacy indicated by the destination information is not the certified pharmacy, prohibiting the sending of the prescription information to the destination pharmacy.

The information processing method of the present invention is an information processing method by an information processing device that receives from a medical institution information on medicines to be issued to a patient , and prescription information describing medical institution information including the name and location of the medical institution indicating the issuing medical institution , and transmits the received prescription information to a pharmacy terminal provided in a pharmacy, and is equipped with a first storage means that stores information on the name and location of the medical institution so as to be able to identify certified medical institutions that are permitted for online medical treatment, and a second storage means that stores information that can be used to identify certified pharmacies that are permitted for online medication instructions, and that corresponds to the prescription information, remote response information indicating that online medical treatment has been performed at the certified medical institution and that online medication instructions can be performed at the certified pharmacy, When destination information indicating the pharmacy to which the prescription information is to be sent is received, a control process is included which determines whether the prescription information was sent from the certified medical institution based on the medical institution information and the information stored in the first storage means, and determines whether the destination pharmacy indicated by the destination information is the certified pharmacy based on the information stored in the second storage means, and when it is determined that the prescription information was sent from the certified medical institution and that the destination pharmacy indicated by the destination information is the certified pharmacy, sends the prescription information to the destination pharmacy indicated by the destination information, and when it is determined that the prescription information was not sent from the certified medical institution or that the destination pharmacy indicated by the destination information is not the certified pharmacy, prohibits the sending of the prescription information to that pharmacy.

The program according to the present invention is an information processing program for causing a computer to function as the information processing device described above, and the recording medium according to the present invention is a computer-readable recording medium having the information processing program described above recorded thereon.

According to the present invention, when remote response information is received that is associated with prescription information and indicates that online medical treatment has been performed at a certified medical institution and that online medication instructions can be performed at a certified pharmacy, it is determined whether the prescription information was received from a certified medical institution and whether the pharmacy to which the prescription information was sent is a certified pharmacy. Therefore, if prescription information is received from a medical institution that is not permitted to provide online medical treatment, or if the prescription information is sent to a pharmacy that is not permitted to provide online medication instructions, it is possible to determine that fraud has occurred. Therefore, by prohibiting the sending of prescription information in such cases, it is possible to reduce the possibility of medicines being received fraudulently.

1 is a conceptual diagram of an information processing system including an information processing device according to this embodiment. The information processing system 1 is constructed to support online medical care and online medication instruction, and is configured such that prescription information is transmitted from a medical institution terminal 100 to an information processing device 200, and then transmitted to a pharmacy terminal 300 via the information processing device 200. The prescription information contains information on medicines to be issued to the patient . The medical institution terminal 100 is a terminal owned by a medical institution D that is permitted to provide online medical care, or a doctor, nurse, etc. The pharmacy terminal 300 is a terminal owned by a pharmacy A that is capable of providing online medication instruction, or a pharmacist, office worker, etc.

In the following explanation, medical institutions D that are permitted to provide online medical consultations are referred to as certified medical institutions D1, and pharmacies A that are permitted to provide online medication instructions are referred to as certified pharmacies A1. In FIG. 1, medical institutions D that are not certified medical institutions D1 are indicated with the symbol D2, and pharmacies A that are not certified pharmacies A1 are indicated with the symbol A2. Online medical consultations and online medication instructions are also performed, for example, through a personal computer provided in the patient's home H or a smartphone 500 owned by the patient.

The medical institution terminal 100 is, for example, a personal computer equipped with an electronic medical record system. This medical institution terminal 100 is capable of recording prescription information (such as information identifying the individual patient (name and ID), information on the medicines to be dispensed (type and quantity), and information on the timing of taking the medicines) in addition to medical records.

Furthermore, the medical institution terminal 100 transmits remote support information and destination information to the information processing device 200 in association with the prescription information. The remote support information indicates that online medical consultation has been performed at the certified medical institution D1, and that online medication instructions may be performed at the certified pharmacy A1. Note that online medication instructions may not be performed due to various circumstances such as the communication environment or the patient's request, and face-to-face medication instructions may be performed instead. However, the following explanation assumes that online medication instructions will be performed. The destination information indicates the pharmacy (destination pharmacy) A to which the prescription information is sent, and corresponds to information such as the name of the pharmacy, the email address of pharmacy A, and the destination specified by dedicated software.

When the information processing device 200 receives prescription information from the medical institution terminal 100, it transmits the prescription information to the pharmacy terminal 300 of the certified pharmacy A1 indicated by the destination information.

Figure 2 is a block diagram showing details of the information processing device 200 shown in Figure 1. The information processing device 200 includes a receiving unit 210, an information control unit (control means) 220, a transmitting unit 230, and a storage unit 250. The storage unit 250 includes a first storage unit (first storage means) 251, a second storage unit (second storage means) 252, and a third storage unit (third storage means) 253. Such an information processing device 200 is mainly composed of a calculation unit such as a CPU. The calculation unit stores an information processing program for executing the functions described below. Note that the information processing program may be stored in the information processing device 200 in advance, or may be downloaded to the information processing device 200 from a recording medium such as a USB or DVD and executed.

The receiving unit 210 receives prescription information, remote support information, and destination information from the medical institution terminal 100. The information received by the receiving unit 210 is processed by the information control unit 220. The receiving unit 210 also receives guidance information and certification information, which will be described later.

The first storage unit 251 is a storage unit that stores information about the certified medical institution D1. FIG. 3 is a conceptual diagram showing the storage contents of the first storage unit 251 shown in FIG. 2. As shown in FIG. 3, the first storage unit 251 stores, for example, information about the name, location, and IP address of the certified medical institution D1. In addition to the above information, the first storage unit 251 may store the e-mail address of the certified medical institution D1 and the signature information of the doctor in attendance as information about the certified medical institution D1. In this embodiment, the first storage unit 251 is configured to store only the information about the certified medical institution D1, but is not limited to this. For example, the first storage unit 251 may store information about a medical institution D2 that is not the certified medical institution D1 (including information about the terminal 101 (see FIG. 1)) in association with information that online medical treatment is not permitted at the medical institution D2.

The second storage unit 252 is a storage unit that stores information about the certified pharmacy A1. FIG. 4 is a conceptual diagram showing the contents stored in the second storage unit 252 shown in FIG. 2. As shown in FIG. 4, the second storage unit 252 stores, for example, information about the pharmacy name, location, and destination address of the certified pharmacy A1. In addition to the above information, the second storage unit 252 may store personal e-mail addresses of the pharmacists in the company as information about the certified pharmacy A1. In this embodiment, the second storage unit 252 is configured to store only information about the certified pharmacy A1, but is not limited to this. It may also store information about a pharmacy A2 that is not the certified pharmacy A1 (including information about the terminal 301 (see FIG. 1)) in association with information that online medication instruction is not permitted at that pharmacy A2.

The third storage unit 253 is a storage unit that stores information on medicines for which online medication instruction is permitted. FIG. 5 is a conceptual diagram showing the storage contents of the third storage unit 253 shown in FIG. 2. As shown in FIG. 5, the third storage unit 253 stores name information on medicines for which online medication instruction is permitted. The third storage unit 253 may store not only name information on medicines but also information on medicine codes. The name information on medicines and information on medicine codes may be stored by manufacturer or by drug classification. In the present embodiment, the third storage unit 253 is configured to store only information on medicines for which online medication instruction is permitted, but is not limited thereto, and may store information on medicines for which online medication instruction is not permitted, for example.

When the information control unit 220 receives prescription information from the medical institution terminal 100, it determines whether to send the prescription information to the destination pharmacy indicated in the destination information.

When the information control unit 220 receives remote support information and destination information associated with the prescription information, it first determines whether the prescription information has been received from the certified medical institution D1 stored in the first storage unit 251. Furthermore, the information control unit 220 determines whether the destination pharmacy for the prescription information is the certified pharmacy A1 stored in the second storage unit 252.

When the information control unit 220 determines that the prescription information has been sent from the certified medical institution D1 and that the destination pharmacy indicated by the destination information is the certified pharmacy A1, it controls the sending unit 230 to send the prescription information to the destination pharmacy indicated by the destination information. On the other hand, when the information control unit 220 determines that the prescription information has not been sent from the certified medical institution D1 or that the destination pharmacy indicated by the destination information is not the certified pharmacy A1, it prohibits the sending of the prescription information to the destination pharmacy.

In this way, the information processing device 200 according to this embodiment confirms that prescription information has been received from the certified medical institution D1, and confirms that the destination of the prescription information is the certified pharmacy A1. If this is confirmed, the prescription information is sent, thereby reducing the possibility of the medicine being fraudulently received.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, the information control unit 220 determines whether the drug to be dispensed indicated by the prescription information is a drug stored in the third memory unit 253, and if it is determined that the drug is a drug stored in the third memory unit 253, it transmits the prescription information to the destination pharmacy indicated by the destination information. On the other hand, if the information control unit 220 determines that the drug to be dispensed is not a drug stored in the third memory unit 253, it prohibits the transmission of the prescription information to the destination pharmacy.

As a result, the information processing device 200 according to this embodiment prevents a situation in which prescription information including medicines for which online medication instructions are not permitted is sent to certified pharmacy A1 and online medication instructions are provided, thereby reducing the possibility of medicines being received fraudulently.

In addition, the information processing device 200 according to this embodiment may check the expiration date of the prescription information and prohibit transmission of the prescription information if the expiration date has passed.

Furthermore, when the information control unit 220 sends the prescription information to the destination pharmacy, it is preferable that the information control unit 220 notifies the patient of this fact. This makes it possible to reduce the possibility of the patient being uneasy by notifying the patient that the prescription information has been received by the certified pharmacy A1.

In addition, in this embodiment, since online medical consultations and online medication instructions are provided, it is preferable to deliver pharmaceuticals, and an ordering unit (ordering means) 240 that processes orders for delivery is provided. The ordering unit 240 orders the delivery of pharmaceuticals to be delivered, as indicated by the prescription information, from an external party (for example, a delivery receiving terminal 400 provided at a pharmacy B other than pharmacy A shown in FIG. 1 or at pharmaceutical wholesaler C).

In this embodiment, when online medication instructions have been given, the pharmacy terminal 300 of certified pharmacy A1 can transmit instruction information indicating this (including information on the instruction content, instruction date, and instruction date and time) to the information processing device 200. In addition, the pharmacy terminal 300 can also transmit, together with this transmission, certification information (e.g., an electronic signature) to the information processing device 200 indicating that the sender of the information is a pharmacist.

When the ordering unit 240 of the information processing device 200 receives the instruction information and certification information from the pharmacy terminal 300, which is the pharmacy to which the prescription information was sent, it places an external order for the delivery of the medicines indicated in the prescription information. When placing the order, the patient's address information and information required for payment, which are stored in advance, are also sent.

This will allow medicines to be ordered only when online medication instructions have been provided by a pharmacist and proof of this has been obtained, preventing an order from being placed in cases where online medication instructions have not been provided or there is no proof from a pharmacist, which could lead to fraud, and reducing the possibility of medicines being received fraudulently.

In addition, if the ordering unit 240 determines that the medicine will not arrive at the patient's side within the expiration date of the prescription included in the prescription information when the medicine is delivered, it is preferable to prohibit the ordering of the medicine or to notify the patient's smartphone 500, etc. This can help to eliminate the inconvenience of the medicine arriving at the patient's side after the expiration date of the prescription.

Fig. 6 is a flowchart showing an information processing method by the information processing device 200 according to this embodiment. Note that the flowchart shown in Fig. 6 is repeatedly executed until the power of the information processing device 200 is turned off, but this is not limited thereto, and processing may be prohibited during late night hours and holidays (specific time periods and specific days) when online medication instructions cannot be provided.

First, as shown in FIG. 6, the information processing device 200 determines whether the prescription information, remote support information, and destination information have been received by the receiving unit 210 (S1). If it is determined that they have not been received (S1: NO), the process shown in FIG. 6 ends.

When it is determined that the prescription information, remote support information, and destination information have been received (S1: YES), the information control unit 220 determines whether the prescription information has been sent from the certified medical institution D1 based on the information of the certified medical institution D1 stored in the first storage unit 251 (S2). At this time, the information control unit 220 may determine whether the prescription information has been sent from the certified medical institution D1 based on the IP address of the medical institution side terminal 100 of the certified medical institution D1, or may determine from the e-mail address, signature information, etc.

If it is determined that the prescription information was not sent from the certified medical institution D1 (S2: NO), the process shown in FIG. 6 ends. On the other hand, if it is determined that the prescription information was sent from the certified medical institution D1 (S2: YES), the information control unit 220 determines whether the pharmacy to which the prescription information was sent is the certified pharmacy A1 based on the destination information and the information on the certified pharmacy A1 stored in the second memory unit 252 (S3).

If it is determined that the pharmacy to which the prescription information is to be sent is not certified pharmacy A1 (S3: NO), the process shown in FIG. 6 ends. On the other hand, if it is determined that the pharmacy to which the prescription information is to be sent is certified pharmacy A1 (S3: YES), the information control unit 220 determines, based on the contents stored in the third memory unit 253, whether the drug to be issued, as indicated by the prescription information, is one for which online medication instructions are permitted (S4).

If it is determined that the drug to be issued indicated by the prescription information is not permitted for online medication instructions (S4: NO), the process shown in FIG. 6 ends. On the other hand, if it is determined that the drug to be issued indicated by the prescription information is permitted for online medication instructions (S4: YES), the information control unit 220 determines whether the drug is currently within the expiration date based on the prescription expiration date information included in the prescription information (S5).

If it is determined that the current date is not within the expiration date of the prescription (S5: NO), the process shown in FIG. 6 ends. On the other hand, if it is determined that the current date is within the expiration date of the prescription (S5: YES), the information control unit 220 controls the transmission unit 230 to transmit the prescription information to the pharmacy terminal 300 of the destination pharmacy (certified pharmacy A1) indicated by the destination information (S6). Next, the information control unit 220 notifies the patient's smartphone 500 or the like that the prescription information has been transmitted to the destination pharmacy (S7).

Then, the ordering unit 240 determines whether or not a delivery request has been received from a terminal such as the medical institution's terminal 100 or the patient's smartphone 500 (S8). A delivery request from the medical institution's terminal 100 is sent to the information control unit 220 together with, for example, prescription information. A delivery request from the patient's smartphone 500 or the like is made by inquiring of the patient as to whether or not to deliver the medicine in response to the notification in step S7. The delivery request includes the patient's address information of the delivery destination and the payment information required when purchasing the medicine.

If it is determined that no delivery request has been made (S8: NO), the process shown in FIG. 6 ends. On the other hand, if it is determined that a delivery request has been made (S8: YES), the ordering unit 240 determines whether the drug can be delivered to the patient's home H, etc., within the expiration date based on the patient's address information and drug inventory information managed by the delivery receiving terminal 400 provided at the drug wholesaler C, etc. (S9).

If it is determined that delivery is possible (S9: YES), the ordering unit 240 determines whether instruction information and certification information have been received within a specified time limit from the pharmacy terminal 300, which is the pharmacy to which the prescription information was sent (S10). Here, the specified time limit is preferably a time limit within which the medicine can be delivered to the patient's home H, etc., within the expiration date. For example, if the prescription expires in four days and it takes three days to deliver the medicine to the patient, the time limit within which the medicine can be delivered within the expiration date is 4 days - 3 days = 1 day. In this case, the ordering unit 240 determines whether instruction information and certification information have been received within one day.

If it is determined that the instruction information and certification information have been received within the specified period (S10: YES), the ordering unit 240 performs the ordering process (S11). This results in the delivery of the medicine to be issued as indicated in the prescription information. After that, the process shown in FIG. 6 ends.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the medicine cannot be delivered to the patient's home H, etc., within the expiration date (S9: NO), or if it is determined that the instruction information and certification information have not been received within the specified period (S10: NO), the ordering unit 240 will notify the patient's smartphone 500, etc., that delivery is not possible without placing an order for the medicine (S12). This makes it possible to prompt the patient to pick up the medicine from certified pharmacy A1. After that, the process shown in FIG. 6 ends.

In this way, according to the information processing device 200, information processing method, information processing program, and recording medium of this embodiment, when remote response information is received that is associated with prescription information and indicates that online medical treatment has been performed at the certified medical institution D1 and that online medication instructions can be performed at the certified pharmacy A1, it is determined whether the prescription information was received from the certified medical institution D1 and whether the pharmacy to which the prescription information was sent is the certified pharmacy A1. Therefore, if prescription information is received from a medical institution D2 that cannot perform online medical treatment, or if the prescription information is sent to a terminal 301 of a pharmacy A2 that cannot provide online medication instructions, it is possible to determine that fraud has occurred. Therefore, by prohibiting the transmission of prescription information in such cases, the possibility of medicines being received fraudulently can be reduced.

In addition, the system determines whether the medicine to be issued, as indicated by the prescription information, is a medicine for which online medication instructions are permitted, so if the medicine indicated by the prescription information is not compatible with online medication instructions, it can determine that fraud has occurred. Therefore, by prohibiting the transmission of prescription information in such cases, it is possible to reduce the possibility of the medicine being fraudulently received.

In addition, when instruction information indicating that online medication instructions have been given and certification information indicating that the sender of the information is a pharmacist are received from the pharmacy terminal 300, an order for delivery of pharmaceuticals is placed externally. This prevents pharmaceuticals from being ordered externally when online medication instructions have not been given or certification from a pharmacist regarding the online medication instructions cannot be obtained, thereby reducing the possibility of pharmaceuticals being received fraudulently.

In addition, if a pharmaceutical is delivered and it is determined that the pharmaceutical will not reach the patient within the expiration date of the prescription, the system will prohibit the order from being placed. This will help to eliminate the inconvenience of pharmaceuticals reaching the patient after the prescription expiration date has passed.

In addition, when the prescription information is sent to the destination pharmacy indicated by the destination information, information to that effect is sent to the patient, so that the patient is notified that the prescription information has been received by certified pharmacy A1, reducing the possibility that the patient will become anxious that the prescription information has not been received by certified pharmacy A1.

The present invention has been described above based on the embodiments, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention, and other technologies may be appropriately combined to the extent possible.

For example, in the above embodiment, the information processing device 200 is assumed to be a single server or the like, but is not limited to this and may be composed of, for example, two or more devices connected via a network.

In addition, in the above embodiment, the first to third storage units 251 to 253 store the information described above, but are not limited to the above, and may store other information as long as it is possible to distinguish the certified medical institution D1, the certified pharmacy A1, and the medicines for which online medication instructions are permitted.

In addition, in the above embodiment, if a delivery request is received before the processing of step S5 shown in FIG. 6, instead of determining whether the expiration date is not reached in step S6, it may be determined whether delivery is possible within the expiration date as in step S9. If delivery is not possible within the expiration date, the prescription information may be prohibited from being sent to the destination pharmacy indicated by the destination information, or a notification may be given that the medicine needs to be picked up from certified pharmacy A1 after online medication instructions have been provided.

In addition, the information processing device 200 is not limited to a configuration in which information is sent and received directly between the medical institution terminal 100 and the pharmacy terminal 300, and other terminals may be interposed between the medical institution terminal 100 or the pharmacy terminal 300 and the information processing device 200, for example.

In addition, in this embodiment, an example has been described in which pharmaceuticals are ordered from an external source and delivered to the patient, but this is not limited to the above. The pharmaceuticals may be delivered directly to the patient from certified pharmacy A1, or the patient may be instructed to pick them up due to the expiration date of the prescription.
