Description

The present invention relates to a medicine information output system , a medicine information output device , a server, and a program.

Traditionally, when a patient brings a prescription issued by a hospital, clinic, etc. to a pharmacy, the pharmacy will dispense the medication listed on the prescription to the patient, and may also provide a drug information sheet containing a description of the medication being dispensed.
In order for pharmacies to create such drug information documents, with the recent development of information processing technology, a computer equipped with a database that stores drug descriptions and photos has been introduced, and when the pharmacy staff inputs the prescription information into the computer, the computer creates a drug information document for the prescribed drug. Such drug information documents are useful for patients to understand the drug information, including how to take the drug.
For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a system for printing out a drug instruction manual that includes the name and photo of the issued drug as well as a calendar showing when and how much of the drug to use.

However, with this type of drug instruction manual (documented drug information), even if there were changes between the contents of the drug dispensed in the past and the contents of the drug dispensed this time, it was difficult to grasp those changes.

The present invention aims to make it easy to understand changes in the contents of medication deliveries.

To achieve the above object, one aspect of the present invention is a medicine bag for storing medicine, which is formed into a bag shape by gluing a specific portion of a rectangular piece of paper, and is characterized in that a display area is provided in one area of the paper for displaying medicine information including a medicine change indication indicating that the medicine has been changed or a dosage change indication indicating that the dosage and administration has been changed, and an adhesive attachment area indicating an area for attaching adhesive is provided on the four peripheral edges of the back surface on which the display area is provided.

To achieve the above object, a drug information output device according to one aspect of the present invention includes a prescription storage means for storing information on a patient's prescription, and a drug information output means for outputting drug information data including a drug change indication indicating that the drug has been changed or a dosage and administration change indication indicating that the dosage and administration has been changed based on changes between the prescription information and information on a prescription older than the prescription.

To achieve the above object, a program according to one aspect of the present invention causes a computer to execute the steps of storing prescription information for a patient, and generating drug information data including a drug change indication indicating that the drug has been changed or a dosage and administration change indication indicating that the dosage and administration has been changed based on changes between the prescription information and information on a prescription older than the prescription.

The following describes an embodiment of the present invention with reference to the drawings.

The application of the drug information document output by the drug information output device 10 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
Fig. 1 is a conceptual diagram showing a drug supply operation in a pharmacy. Fig. 1(1) shows the flow of each operation, and Fig. 1(2) shows the content of each operation.
Referring to Fig. 1 (1), the drug provision work is composed of a series of steps, such as accepting a prescription from a patient at the counter, dispensing a drug according to the prescription, and providing the drug to the patient at the counter if the dispensing is deemed appropriate in the final audit. Such drug provision work can be composed of the tasks shown in Fig. 1 (2), for example, "reception,""medication history confirmation,""prescriptionaudit,""collection of patient information,""dispensingdesign,""explanation of medication,""dispensingdecision,""dispensing,""finalaudit," and "drug delivery accounting." Some of these tasks can be carried out independently of each other.
In this embodiment, the output of the drug information document is performed during the operation of "drug delivery accounting". For example, among the operations constituting the drug provision work, the receptionist of the pharmacy accepts prescription information in "reception", and among the operations, the pharmacist performs "patient information collection", "dispensing", "drug delivery accounting", "medicinal history confirmation", "prescription audit", "dispensing design", "medication explanation", "dispensing decision", and "final audit". After it is determined that there is no problem in dispensing the prescribed drug, the drug information document is output in "drug delivery accounting". In the operation of "drug delivery accounting", the drug information document created by outputting the drug information is delivered to the patient when the pharmacist delivers the drug.

[Configuration of drug information output device 10]
The drug information output device 10 of the present invention is a device used by persons in charge of each task constituting the drug supply business.

The drug information output device 10 is intended to provide multifaceted support for drug provision operations in pharmacies, and is a general-purpose personal computer equipped with a control unit 11 that performs various calculation processes, a memory unit 12 that stores various information, an input unit 13 realized by a keyboard, touch panel, etc., and a display unit 14 with a display. The drug information output device 10 is connected to a printer 20 by wire or wirelessly. Various programs are installed in this drug information output device 10, and the control unit 11 operates according to these programs to perform a drug information output function unique to the present invention in addition to a receipt computer function and a drug history management function. This drug information output function is a function that, when a person in charge inputs prescription information from the input unit 13 into the drug information output device 10, detects changes between the information on the accepted prescription and the information on past prescriptions, and outputs drug information data that clearly indicates the changes.

In addition, outputting refers to sending drug information data from the drug information output device to a device other than the drug information output device, and includes printing the drug information on the printer 20 based on the drug information data to create a drug document, as well as displaying the drug information on a display unit 14 such as a display, and transmitting the drug information data to another terminal via a wired or wireless communication line.
In addition, a drug information document refers to a document that contains explanations for reference when taking a drug that is provided together with the drug when the drug is dispensed at a pharmacy, and includes a sheet of paper, a sticker, or a drug bag that contains the drug, on which explanations for reference when taking the drug are provided. Drug information refers to the explanatory information that is provided in the drug information document and that is reference when taking the drug.

[Functional configuration of the drug information output device 10]
Next, the functional configuration of the medicine information output device 10 for performing the medicine information output function will be described with reference to FIG.
2 is a schematic diagram showing the functional configuration of the drug information output device 10. In performing the drug information output function, the control unit 11 of the drug information output device 10 functions as a prescription reception unit 111, a drug change identification unit 112, a change type identification unit 113, a usage change identification unit 114, and a drug information output unit 115. In addition, the storage unit 12 is provided with a prescription database 121 and a drug database 122.

The prescription receiving unit 111 receives prescription information as prescription information from the input unit 13. The prescription receiving unit 111 stores the received prescription information in the prescription database 121.
Specifically, the prescription reception unit 111 receives prescription information when a pharmacy receptionist in charge of the counter receives a prescription from a patient and inputs the contents of the prescription through the input unit 13. The prescription reception unit 111 stores the received prescription information in the prescription database 121 in association with the reception date and time and information identifying the patient.
The prescription information may be accepted in various ways. For example, an image of the prescription may be obtained from a scanner and the prescription information may be accepted based on the obtained image, or the prescription information may be accepted by receiving it via a wired or wireless communication line.

The prescription database 121 will now be described with reference to FIG.
3 is a schematic diagram illustrating the contents stored in the prescription database 121. The prescription database 121 is a database that stores information on accepted prescriptions, and is used for the receipt computer function and the medication history management function, and is also used in the medication information output function to identify changes in medication in the medication change identification unit 112 and the dosage change identification unit 114, which will be described later.
The prescription database 121 stores a prescription ID for identifying the prescription, information for identifying the patient, a receipt date indicating the date and time when the prescription was received, prescribed drugs indicating the drugs written on the prescription, and dosage and administration information indicating the amount and time of the prescribed drugs to be taken.

Returning to FIG. 2, the medication change identifying unit 112 compares prescription information accepted by the prescription accepting unit 111 with prescription information for a predetermined period of time in the past to identify a change in medication.
Specifically, the medication change identifying unit 112 extracts prescription information for a predetermined period of the past associated with a patient for whom the prescription is intended, from the prescription database 121, based on the prescription information accepted by the prescription accepting unit 111. Then, the medication change identifying unit 112 identifies a change in medication between the prescription information accepted by the prescription accepting unit 111 and the extracted prescription information for the predetermined period of the past.

For example, when the prescription receiving unit 111 receives a prescription for patient "A" on December 15th, the medication change identification unit 112 extracts prescription information corresponding to prescription ID "001001" from the prescription database 121. The prescription information corresponding to prescription ID "001001" is prescription information for the past month associated with patient "A" for whom the received prescription is intended. The medication change identification unit 112 then compares the received prescription information (tablets E, F, capsules C, and D) with past prescription information (tablets A, B, C, and D), and identifies as medication changes that tablets E, F, and capsules C have been added to the prescription and tablets A, B, and C have been removed from the prescription.

For example, when the prescription receiving unit 111 receives a prescription for patient "C" on December 15th, the medication change identification unit 112 extracts prescription information corresponding to prescription ID "001003" from the prescription database 121. The prescription information corresponding to prescription ID "001003" is prescription information for the past month associated with patient "C" for whom the received prescription is intended. The medication change identification unit 112 then compares the received prescription information (tablets A, B, and G) with past prescription information (tablets A, B, and C), and identifies the changes as the addition of tablet G to the prescription and the removal of tablet C from the prescription.

Note that a certain period of time in the past refers to a period during which it is desirable to clearly indicate to the patient the change in prescription, during which the patient can fully recognize and remember that there has been a change in prescription. In this embodiment, prescription information for one month is extracted.

The change type identifying unit 113 classifies the medication changes identified by the medication change identifying unit 112 into change types.
Specifically, the change type identification unit 113 refers to the drug database 122 to extract drug information (trade name, generic name, pharmacological classification name, efficacy/effects, etc.) for the drug changes identified by the drug change identification unit 112, and if the extracted drug information is common, it matches the added drug with the removed drug, and classifies the change type according to whether or not there is a match and the content of the match.

Here, the drug change type refers to a type that indicates how changes to drugs in a prescription are displayed in the drug information. In this embodiment, the drug change type is classified into "change", in which an added drug is associated with a removed drug, and "addition" and "deletion", in which an added drug is not associated with a removed drug. "Change" is classified into "dosage form change", in which the added drug and the removed drug have the same sales name but a different dosage form, "generic change", in which the drugs have different sales names and the same generic name, and "ingredient change", in which the sales names and generic names are different and the pharmacological classification name or efficacy/effect is the same.

For example, if a change in medication occurs when E tablets, F tablets, and C capsules are added to a prescription and A tablets, B tablets, and C tablets are removed from the prescription, C capsules and C tablets, which have the same trade name but different dosage forms, are considered to be a "change" or "dosage form change." Additionally, E tablets and A tablets, which have different trade names but the same generic name, are considered to be a "change" or "generic change." Additionally, F tablets and B tablets, which have different trade names and generic names but the same pharmacological classification name, are considered to be a "change" or "ingredient change."

That is, the change type identification unit 113 associates the added drug with the excluded drug, and classifies the unassociated added drug, the unassociated excluded drug, or the combination of associated added drug and excluded drug as either "addition," "deletion," or "change." Then, when the change type identification unit 113 classifies the combination of an added drug and an excluded drug as "change," it further classifies the association as "dosage type change" when the trade names are the same but the dosage forms are different, "generic change" when the trade names are different and the generic names are the same, and "ingredient change" when the trade names and generic names are different and the pharmacological classification name or efficacy/effect is the same.

The drug database 122 will now be described with reference to FIG.
4 is a schematic diagram illustrating the contents stored in the drug database 122. The drug database 122 is a database that stores information about drugs, and is mainly composed of information derived from package inserts issued by drug supply companies. The drug database 122 is used when the change type identification unit 113 classifies the change type of drugs, and is also used to refer to the drug information output by the drug information output unit 115, etc.
The drug database 122 stores a drug ID that identifies the drug, a trade name that indicates the trade name of the drug, a general name that indicates the general name for the drug's ingredients, a pharmacological classification name that indicates the medicinal effect of the drug, and efficacy and effects that indicate what disease the drug is effective against.

Returning to Figure 2, the usage change identification unit 114 compares the prescription information accepted by the prescription acceptance unit 111 with prescription information for a specified period of the past, and identifies that there has been a change in the usage and dosage of the same drug.
Specifically, the usage change identifying unit 114 extracts prescription information for a predetermined period of the past associated with a patient for whom the prescription is intended, from the prescription database 121, based on the prescription information accepted by the prescription accepting unit 111. Then, the usage change identifying unit 114 identifies that there has been a change in the dosage and administration of the same drug between the prescription information accepted by the prescription accepting unit 111 and the extracted prescription information for the predetermined period of the past.

For example, when the prescription receiving unit 111 receives a prescription for patient "B" on December 15th, the usage change identification unit 114 extracts prescription information corresponding to prescription ID "001002" from the prescription database 121. The prescription information corresponding to prescription ID "001002" is prescription information for the past month associated with patient "B" for whom the received prescription is applicable. The drug change identification unit 112 then compares the received prescription information (A tablet (morning 1), B tablet (morning 2 afternoon 2 evening 2), C tablet (morning 1 evening 1), D tablet (morning 1 afternoon 1 evening 1)) with past prescription information (A tablet (morning 1), B tablet (morning 1 evening 1), C tablet (morning 1 evening 1), D tablet (morning 1 afternoon 1 evening 1)) to identify that the usage and dosage of B tablet has changed from "morning 1 evening 1" to "morning 2 afternoon 2 evening 2".

The drug information output unit 115 outputs drug information in different formats based on the identified change in the prescription. Specifically, the drug information output unit 115 generates drug information data including a drug change indication indicating that the drug has been changed based on the identified change in the prescription, or a dosage and administration change indication indicating that the dosage and administration has been changed. The drug information output unit 115 performs output based on the generated drug information data; for example, the drug information output unit 115 outputs the drug information data to the printer 20 to be printed.

[Processing of the drug information output device 10]
Next, the process of the medicine information output device 10 will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram showing the flow of processing by the medicine information output device 10.
The processing of the medicine information output device 10 is started when the receptionist of the pharmacy accepts a predetermined operation to start the processing. When the processing of the medicine information output device 10 is started, the prescription reception unit 111 of the medicine information output device 10 accepts prescription information by the receptionist of the pharmacy inputting the prescription information from the input unit 13 (step S1). The prescription reception unit 111 stores the accepted prescription information in the prescription database 121 (step S2).

Following step S2, the medication change identification unit 112 of the medication information output device 10 extracts from the prescription database 121 past prescription information associated with the patient for whom the prescription accepted by the prescription acceptance unit 111 in step S1 is intended (step S3). Then, the medication change identification unit 112 identifies medication changes in the prescription information accepted by the prescription acceptance unit 111 and the extracted prescription information for a specified period of time in the past (step S4).

Next, the change type identifying unit 113 checks whether the medication change identifying unit 112 has identified a medication change, and if the medication change identifying unit 112 has identified a medication change, proceeds to step S6 to classify the change type. Also, the change type identifying unit 113 checks whether the medication change identifying unit 112 has identified a medication change, and if the medication change identifying unit 112 has not identified a medication change, proceeds to step S7 without classifying the change type (step S5).
Then, when the medication change identifying unit 112 identifies a medication change, the change type identifying unit 113 extracts medication information (trade name, generic name, pharmacological category name, efficacy, effects, etc.) by referring to the medication database 122. When the extracted medication information is common, the change type identifying unit 113 associates the added medication with the removed medication, and classifies the change type according to the presence or absence of association and the content of the association (step S6).

Next, the usage change identification unit 114 compares the prescription information received by the prescription reception unit 111 with prescription information from a specified period of the past to identify that there has been a change in the usage or dosage of the same drug (step S7).

Next, the drug information output unit 115 generates drug information data including a drug change indication indicating that the drug has been changed based on the identified prescription change or a dosage and administration change indication indicating that the dosage and administration has been changed (step S8).

Here, an example of a drug information document output based on drug information data generated by the drug information output unit 115 will be described.
FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of a drug document that is output based on drug information data that is generated when a change in drugs occurs between a received prescription and a past prescription and the drugs are associated with each other.
The drug information document is composed of V1, a section in which a description and photograph of the drug to be dispensed are shown, V2, a section in which the drug and dosage before any changes occurred are shown, and V3, a section in which the dosage of the drug is shown.

V1 includes columns E1, F1, and C1, which show the names, explanations, and photos of E tablets, F tablets, and C capsules, respectively. The explanations consist of a general explanation of the drug extracted from drug database 122 and a different part for each change type that explains the content of the change. For example, the explanation in column E1 consists of a general explanation part saying, "It is a drug to lower cholesterol..." and a part explaining the content of the change from A tablets to E tablets saying, "It is a cheaper drug with the same ingredients as A tablets."

In addition, the part explaining the change varies depending on the change type. For example, in the E1 column, an explanation is generated that corresponds to the change type of "generic change" such as "It is a cheaper medicine with the same ingredients as Tablet A." The explanation that corresponds to the change type of "generic change" is composed of the name of the previous drug and a description indicating that the ingredients are the same but the price is cheaper.
For example, in the F1 field, an explanation corresponding to the change type of "ingredient change" is generated as "This medicine is more effective than Tablet B." The explanation corresponding to the change type of "ingredient change" is composed of the previous name of the medicine and a description indicating that there is a difference in efficacy or safety.
For example, in the C1 field, an explanation corresponding to the change type of "dosage form change" is generated as "From tablets to capsules." The explanation corresponding to the change type of "ingredient change" is composed of a description indicating the previous dosage form of the drug and the new dosage form of the drug.

In V2, column A1, which shows a photograph of tablet A, an excluded drug corresponding to tablet E shown in E1, is shown in a position that clearly indicates that it corresponds to E1, column B1, which shows a photograph of tablet B, an excluded drug corresponding to tablet F shown in F1, is shown in a position that clearly indicates that it corresponds to F1, and column C2, which shows a photograph of tablet C, an excluded drug corresponding to capsule C shown in C1, is shown in a position that clearly indicates that it corresponds to C1, making the changes in the drugs clear.

V3 shows the dosage instructions for E tablets, F tablets, C capsules, and D tablets. In the V3 column, from the left, the amounts to be taken in the morning, afternoon, and evening are shown. For example, the row for D tablets in the V3 column shows that one tablet should be taken in the morning, one tablet at noon, and one tablet in the evening.

FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of a conventional drug information document (FIG. 7(1)) that would be provided if the present invention were not applied when dispensing the drug shown in FIG. 6, and a drug information document (FIG. 7(2)) that was provided during the previous visit to dispense the drug shown in FIG. 6.
The drug information document shown in FIG. 7(1) shows the drugs to be delivered (E tablets, F tablets, C capsules, D tablets) and provides an explanation of each drug. However, the drug information document in FIG. 7(1) does not allow the patient to understand at a glance how the drug has changed since the previous time. Therefore, even if the patient has been able to take the drug habitually, the drug may change and the patient may not be able to understand the correspondence between the drug that was habitually taken and the new drug, which may result in the patient forgetting to take the drug or taking the wrong drug.
When a patient tries to understand how the medicine has changed, he or she must compare the currently issued medicine information document shown in FIG. 7(1) with the previously issued medicine information document shown in FIG. 7(2). Even if the patient compares the currently issued medicine information document shown in FIG. 7(1) with the previously issued medicine information document shown in FIG. 7(2), for example, if the patient does not compare the explanation, such as "This is a medicine to lower cholesterol," he or she may not understand that tablet A has changed to tablet E, and may forget to take the medicine or take the wrong medicine. Specifically, when a generic or ingredient is changed, the patient may take the remaining medicine before the prescription change and the medicine after the prescription change at the same time, which may cause a change in the patient's physical condition.
Therefore, there is a need for a system that can easily output drug information so that patients can easily understand changes in the status of drug delivery, as in the present invention. The output drug information functions as a tool for proper use of medicines.

FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of a medication information document output based on medication information data generated when a change in medication occurs between a received prescription and a past prescription and the medications cannot be matched.
Column G1 shows an explanation and a photograph of the added medication, G tablet, and column G2 shows the word "new" indicating that the medication has been newly added.
In addition, the C3 column displays tablet C, which is an excluded drug, and the C3 column is displayed with an "X" to make it clear that there is no drug that corresponds to tablet C, which has been excluded.

FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of a drug information document output based on drug information data generated when a change in dosage and administration occurs between a received prescription and a past prescription.
Column B2 shows the dosage of Tablet B, indicating that two tablets should be taken in the morning, two tablets in the afternoon, and two tablets in the evening.

Returning to FIG. 5, the drug information output unit 115 outputs based on the generated drug information data (e.g., printed by the printer 20) (step S9), and ends the process.

In this embodiment, the medicine information document printed in step S9 is configured as a medicine envelope, which is a bag for storing medicines when the medicines are delivered.
Specifically, in this embodiment, the drug information document is a rectangular sheet of paper with a vertical dashed line printed in the center of the sheet. The drug information document has a display area on either side of the dashed line where drug information is displayed, including a drug change indication indicating that the drug has been changed or a dosage and administration change indication indicating that the dosage and administration has been changed. An adhesive attachment section is printed on the four periphery edges of the back side of the side on which the dashed line and drug information are displayed.
The medicine information document configured as a medicine bag is folded in a mountain fold along the broken line and pasted together by applying adhesive to the adhesive application part to form a bag. The medicine information document configured as a medicine bag contains medicines corresponding to the medicine information and is delivered to the patient by the pharmacy staff.

This embodiment has been described above. With this type of drug information output device 10, based on the changes between the prescription information and the past prescription information, drug information containing a drug change indication (A1, B1, C2, G2, etc.) indicating that the drug has been changed or a dosage change indication (B2, etc.) indicating that the dosage and administration has been changed can be easily output, allowing the patient to easily grasp the changes in the drug dispensing situation.

In addition, when the changes include added and removed medications, the medication information output device 10 matches the added and removed medications and automatically reflects which medications have changed to which medications in the medication information, making it possible to easily output medication information containing medication change indications, and enabling patients to easily understand changes in medication dispensing status.

In addition, with the drug information output device 10, when the changes include added and removed drugs, the added and removed drugs are matched and drug information can be easily output indicating that the change corresponds to a change in dosage form, generic, or ingredient, making it easy for the patient to understand what changes have occurred in the drug.

Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment. Furthermore, the effects described in this embodiment are merely a list of the most favorable effects resulting from the present invention, and the effects of the present invention are not limited to those described in this embodiment.

In addition, in this embodiment, the medication information is configured as a medication bag, but this is not limited to this as long as it has an area for displaying the medication information. For example, it may be a sheet of paper on which only the medication information is printed, or a sticker with an adhesive surface on the side opposite the side on which the medication information is displayed.

In addition, in this embodiment, the medication change identification unit 112 is configured to extract prescription information for one month as the specified past period, but the period is not limited to one month and any appropriate period may be set as long as the patient is able to fully recognize changes in the prescription.
Furthermore, such a specified past period may be set to a different period for each patient and each drug. For example, a longer period of six months may be set for elderly patients, as it generally takes time for them to fully recognize changes in their medication, whereas a shorter period of two weeks may be set for drugs for acute illnesses, as they are generally taken for a short period of time and become accustomed to the medication, and it does not take long for them to fully recognize changes in their medication.

In addition, in this embodiment, an example of drug information including either a drug change display indicating that the drug has been changed or a dosage and administration change display indicating that the dosage and administration has been changed is given, but the drug information output by the drug information output unit 115 is not limited to this and may include both a drug change display and a dosage and administration change display. In order to include both a drug change display and a dosage and administration change display, the drug information output unit 115 may display the drug change display and dosage and administration change display in a reduced size so that the proportion of the drug information that is taken up by the drug change display and dosage and administration change display is not too large.

The present invention can also be applied to a terminal device having the functional configuration shown in FIG. 2. In this case, having the functional configuration shown in FIG. 2 includes not only installing software that realizes the functional configuration in the terminal device, but also allowing the terminal device to use software installed in a specific server via a network. In other words, the present invention can also be applied to so-called ASP services that provide business applications to customers via the Internet.

The above-described series of processes can be executed by hardware or software.
In other words, the functional configuration in Fig. 2 is merely an example and is not particularly limited. That is, it is sufficient for a computer to have a function capable of executing the above-mentioned series of processes as a whole, and the type of functional block used to realize this function is not particularly limited to the example in Fig. 2.
Furthermore, one functional block may be configured as a single piece of hardware, a single piece of software, or a combination of both.

When the series of processes is executed by software, the program constituting the software is installed into a computer or the like from a network or a recording medium.
The computer may be a computer built into dedicated hardware, or may be a computer capable of executing various functions by installing various programs, such as a general-purpose personal computer.
