This method cannot provide real-time information on the medicines' status and is prone to errors in controlling their distribution. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a drug circulation method based on dual cabinets to solve the problem of errors in the management of drug circulation in the prior art.
[0004] The drug circulation method based on dual cabinets includes a vertical cabinet and multiple table cabinets. The control system of the vertical cabinet is wirelessly connected to the control system of the multiple table cabinets. The circulation method includes vertical cabinet storage, vertical cabinet out storage, table cabinet storage, table cabinet out storage, and drug recycling.
[0005] The cabinet receiving process includes: inputting the specifications of the medicines to be placed in the cabinet into the cabinet's control system in advance; after the medicines arrive, they are first placed in the cabinet for receiving; the specifications of the medicines to be placed in the cabinet are selected, and the batch number is entered; the cabinet's control system automatically plans the drawer unit to be stored according to the specifications; the cabinet door is opened, the electromagnetic lock of the drawer unit to be stored is unlocked, and the drawer unit automatically pops out; the traceability code on each medicine box is scanned in front of the cabinet's barcode scanner; the cabinet's control system recognizes that the medicine box has been placed in the drawer unit, and then puts the scanned medicine box into the drawer unit, completing the cabinet receiving process;
[0006] The process of issuing medicines from the upright cabinet includes: inputting the medicine information needed for the next day for a single cabinet into the cabinet's control system in advance; the cabinet's control system sending the medicine information that the cabinet needs to be replenished to the upright cabinet's control system; selecting the target cabinet for issuance on the upright cabinet; and the upright cabinet's control system popping out the corresponding drawer unit according to the medicine information that the target cabinet needs to be replenished. After taking out the corresponding medicine box, the traceability code on each medicine box is scanned in front of the barcode scanner on the upright cabinet.
[0007] The process of receiving medicines into a cabinet includes: bringing the medicines that need to be replenished to the target cabinet; the cabinet control system displays the medicines to be received in sequence on the screen according to different medicine specifications; clicking on the corresponding medicine; the cabinet control system automatically plans the drawer unit to be stored according to the medicine specifications; the drawer unit of the cabinet automatically opens; scanning the traceability code on each medicine box in front of the cabinet's barcode scanner; discarding the medicine box; the cabinet control system considers that the medicine has been placed in the drawer unit; and then puts the medicine into the drawer unit to proceed with the receiving of the next medicine specification.
[0008] The process of issuing medication from the counter includes: when a patient selects the medication to be issued, the counter's control system obtains the medication information based on the prescription, the counter's drawer unit automatically opens, and the corresponding medication is retrieved; when a patient needs to replenish medications other than those prescribed, the corresponding medication is retrieved from the counter; when a medication needs to be returned, it is returned according to the warehousing process.
[0009] Medication recycling includes: After surgery, bottles are returned on the work station. The patient is selected, and the work station's control system automatically calculates the number of bottles to be returned based on the inbound and outbound information. The work station printer prints a return label. The medication to be recycled is placed in a self-sealing bag, and the self-sealing bag is sealed with the return label. The self-sealing bag is then placed in the bottom drawer of the work station. The medication recycling personnel retrieve the self-sealing bags from each work station and check the number of empty bottles against the return label. If the number is incorrect, the corresponding doctor is traced back to the return label. If the number is correct, all self-sealing bags are taken to the upright cabinet, and the return labels are scanned one by one at the upright cabinet before being placed in the cabinet at the bottom of the upright cabinet.
[0010] Medicines purchased at the same time have the same batch number, and medicines in the same box have the same traceability code, which is set on the medicine box.
[0011] When medicines are stored in the cabinet, the control system assumes the medicine box is full after the traceability code is scanned. If the medicine box is not full, the quantity of medicines in the medicine box must be manually entered into the control system of the cabinet after the traceability code is scanned.
[0012] The medication information required for the next day at the counter is the same as the medication information required for the surgery the next day.
[0013] The medication information required for the counter the next day is the information on medications needed to replenish the missing medications in the counter.
[0014] The drawer unit of the cabinet has multiple circular storage compartments, each equipped with a sensor and an indicator light. The sensor monitors whether medicines are stored in the circular storage compartment.
[0015] When the cabinet is put into storage, the indicator light in the round storage compartment where the medicine is to be stored will light up;
[0016] When the counter is being dispatched, the indicator light in the circular storage compartment for the medicine to be dispatched will light up.
[0017] The control system of the cabinet calculates the amount of medicine that needs to be replenished by combining the medicine information required the next day with the information on the remaining medicine in the cabinet.
[0018] When medicines are taken out of the cabinet, the control system defaults to a full box status after the traceability code is scanned. If the medicines in the box are not completely removed, the number of medicines removed is manually entered in the control system after the traceability code is scanned. The remaining medicines and boxes are then put back into the drawer unit, and the traceability code of the box is photographed. When medicines are put into the counter, the traceability code of the box is scanned.
[0019] The disposal personnel took out self-sealing bags from the cabinet and disposed of the empty medicine bottles in a centralized manner.
[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: the present invention, through the cooperation of the upright cabinet and the table cabinet, can control the status of medicines throughout the process, the table cabinet and the upright cabinet can communicate automatically and share medicine data in real time; the drawer unit can automatically pop out according to the status of medicines, making operation convenient.
