Medicine dispensing error early warning system

Abstract

The invention relates to a medicine dispensing error early warning system. The system is composed of a control terminal, an alarm device and a code scanning gun; the code scanning gun is connected with the control terminal through a COM hub; a local database server, a pharmacy HIS system and a data analysis system are installed in the control terminal; and the control terminal automatically generates barcodes for outpatient prescriptions through the local database server and the pharmacy HIS system. When taking medicines, a pharmacist uses the code scanning gun to scan barcodes on the prescriptions, so that barcode information can be stored in the local database server; the pharmacist uses the code scanning gun to scan electronic monitoring codes or product codes on taken medicines; afterfinishing scanning the medicines, the pharmacist scans the barcodes on the prescriptions again so as to terminate check; the control terminal uses the data analysis system to perform real-time judgment on actually-dispensed medicines and medicines on the prescriptions on the basis of data collected by the code scanning gun; and if the actually-dispensed medicine information is identical or inconsistent with the medicine information scanned from the prescriptions, and an alarm connected with the control terminal gives out an alarm or does not give out any alarms.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention designs an early warning system for drug deployment errors, which can provide real-time early warnings for the deployment errors so as to prevent drug deployment errors, avoid medical accidents, and ensure the safety of medication for patients. Background technique [0002] In recent years, the problem of doctor-patient disputes has intensified, and the occurrence of medical adverse events will lead to doctor-patient disputes. Throughout the world, the total number of patient injury incidents caused by medical adverse events exceeds 1 million per year. Among them, medication errors are one of the main factors. The survey shows that the incidence of medication errors in various countries or regions is 4.9%-39.8%, of which 25% are caused by similar drug names, and 25% are caused by similar drug packaging. For pharmacists, medication errors can be avoided by reducing drug dispensing errors. According to the data, the measures taken by vari...

Most of these measures are proposed on the basis of manual deployment, based on human unreliability research, and errors are unavoidable in all manual operations

At present, the pharmacy department mainly avoids the occurrence of dispensing errors through double-checking and pharmacy automation. However, due to the existence of manual dosing and system errors in the pharmacy automation in the new technology, according to relevant literature, some hospitals have a dispensing error rate of 1 %, and when two people check and dispense medicines, deployment errors still occur from time to time

However, the initial investment in the automation construction of a general tertiary hospital is more than 5 million yuan, and the annual maintenance cost is about 800,000 to 1 million yuan, which is a huge investment.

Although pharmacy automation can save a certain amount of labor, due to its high operating costs, it is difficult to operate in small and medium-sized hospitals with underdeveloped economies or small outpatient volumes.

In addition, automatic dispensing machines are mostly aimed at boxed oral preparations, and the particularity of injection preparations limits its promotion.
