Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to an operating device for causing a drug packaging machine to perform packaging operations corresponding to prescriptions.

[Prior Art] Generally, a prescription for a drug to be taken by a doctor for a patient includes instructions on how to take the drug in addition to the name of the drug. In principle, for drugs to be taken every day, the daily dose, number of doses, and number of days are instructed, and for drugs to be taken when a specific symptom appears, the dosage, symptoms to be taken, and number of times to be taken are specified. be done. Furthermore, regarding the number of times of dosing, there are some drugs that are instructed to take them at morning, noon, evening, etc., and drugs that are instructed to be taken at fixed time intervals such as every 6 hours, every 12 hours, etc. In addition to expressions such as habu 3 (i.e. morning, lunch, evening) and bu 4 (i.e. morning, lunch, evening, before going to bed), etc., usages such as before meals and after meals are also indicated. It is.

On the other hand, a medicine packaging machine is a machine that packages medicines to be taken in a predetermined order into a series of packaging paper in order, so that patients can reliably and easily take the medicines without making mistakes in the order. Therefore, for example, if a prescription includes a drug that should be taken before a meal and a drug that should be taken after a meal, they should be taken in the order of the time of administration (i.e., before breakfast, after breakfast, after breakfast, etc.). (before lunch, after lunch, etc.)
Preferably, it is packaged accordingly. Also,
For example, if a prescription contains a drug with a dosing time and usage instructions and a drug with a dosing time interval, the dosing time and dosing can be combined to specify the dosing time (i.e., after breakfast, after lunch, after lunch, etc.). It is preferable to convert the dosing time interval into an appropriate dosing time and package the product in accordance with the order of these dosing times. Furthermore, if a prescription contains a mixture of regular drugs that must be taken each time and drugs that should be taken only when specific symptoms appear each time (i.e., drugs that should be added or removed depending on the symptoms), these drugs may not be taken. Preferably, each batch is packaged separately (eg, next to each other) in accordance with the chronological order.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, the operating device of the conventional drug packaging machine, as shown in the operation screen in FIG. ,
By specifying a common number of days for each drug, the drug packaging machine was operated so that all the drugs displayed on the same screen were packaged into one package. The worker must calculate and enter the four doses for each dose based on the daily dose and number of doses taken.
Since different usages cannot be processed on the same screen, for example, it is not possible to determine which drugs should be taken before meals and which drugs should be taken after meals, unless the screen is updated for each package to determine the total number of packages to be packaged. It is not possible to package drugs according to the order of dosing time that combines the dosing time and usage. Also, since the dosing time period and dosing time interval cannot be processed on the same screen, for example, a drug for which the dosing time period and usage are specified and a drug for which the dosing time interval is specified are one package out of the total number of packages to be packaged. Unless the screen is switched every minute, it is not possible to package the product in the order of the dosage period. Furthermore, for information on drugs that should be taken only when specific symptoms appear, see Section 2.
Since processing cannot be done on the screen shown in the figure, for example, you can determine which drugs should be taken each time and which drugs should be added or removed depending on the symptoms each time. Otherwise, there were various problems such as the inability to package each dose separately (for example, next to each other) according to the order of administration.

This invention solves the above-mentioned problems of the conventional methods, and by simply inputting the prescription information shown on the prescription, the drug packaging machine can send the necessary doses to the drug packaging machine in accordance with the order in which the drugs should be taken. It is an object of the present invention to provide an operating device for a drug packaging machine that can perform packaging operations.

3. When the time zone/symptom/time conversion logic 25 and the time zone/symptom alignment logic 30 are used, all dosing time zone data and usage output from each drug-specific prescription information logic 22, 22,... The time zone/period conversion logic 23 derives the timing for taking each drug from the data, while the data on all the dosing time zones and usage data output from the prescription information logic 22, 22, ... for each drug. From the symptom data, the time to take each drug is derived by the time zone/symptom/time conversion logic 25, and these dosing times are arranged in that order by the time zone/symptom alignment logic 30 via the unification logic 27. All drug names, daily doses or single doses, dosing time periods or dosing time intervals, which are arranged and input into the packaging control logic 32, and which are output from each drug-specific prescription information logic 22, 22,... Dosage, symptom, number of days or frequency data is entered directly into packaging control logic 32. Thereby, the packaging control logic 32 distributes the medicines so that the medicines are packaged in accordance with the order of the dosing time derived from the dosing time and usage and the dosing time determined from the dosing time and usage and symptoms. The packaging machine 5 is operated, and as a result, the medicine for which the dosing time is specified and the medicine to be added or removed according to a specific symptom are separated from each other (for example, they are placed next to each other) according to the order of the dosing time. The product will be packaged.

Furthermore, for example, when the time interval/period conversion logic 24, the time interval/symptom/period conversion logic 26, and the time interval/symptom arrangement logic 31 are used, each drug-specific prescription information logic 22, 22,
The time interval/period conversion logic 24 derives the dosing timing for each drug from all the dosing time interval data output from..., while the The time interval/symptom/time conversion logic 26 derives the time to take each drug from the data on the time interval between doses and the data on symptoms, and the time interval/symptom alignment logic 31 derives the time to take each drug via the unification logic 27. The information is arranged according to that order and input into the packaging control logic 32, and the prescription information logic 22, 22,
All drug names, daily dose or single dose, dosing time or dosing time interval, usage,
Symptom, day or frequency data is input directly into the packaging control logic 32. Thereby, the packaging control logic 32 operates the medicine packaging machine 5 so that the medicines are packaged according to the dosing time derived from the dosing time interval and the dosing time order derived from the dosing time interval and symptoms. As a result, drugs whose dosing time intervals are specified and drugs to be added or removed according to specific symptoms are packaged separately (for example, next to each other) each time according to the order of dosing time. It happens.

In the above embodiment, the conversion means 2 includes a time zone/season conversion logic 23, a time interval/season conversion logic 24, a time zone/symptom/season conversion logic 25, and a time interval/symptom/season conversion logic 2.
