Each box of drugs has a unique barcode. The electronic supervision code of drugs consists of 20 digits. The first digit is 8, which is the flag of the drug. The second digit is used to distinguish the level of the supervision code, whether it is a first-level code, a second-level code, or a third-level code. The 3rd to 7th numbers are resource codes, representing the manufacturer of the product, the name of the drug, the specifications, packaging rules, etc. The 8th to 16th numbers are serial numbers, which are used to describe each independent package of the drug in the drug supervision code.

Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present invention. For ordinary technicians in this field, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without paying creative work.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present application more clearly understood, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0020] The method for dispensing medicine provided in the embodiment of the present application can be applied to a system for dispensing medicine. Figure 1 As shown, the drug dispensing system includes a visual code reader 101 and a hospital information system 102 . The visual code reader 101 and the hospital information system 102 are connected via a software interactive interface. The visual code reader 101 includes a front-end PAD screen 1011 .

[0021] The visual code reader 101 is used to receive prescription information sent by the hospital information system 102, and display the prescription information on the front PAD screen 1011, collect the electronic supervision codes of multiple drugs placed by the pharmacist on the placement table of the visual code reader 101, and identify the multiple electronic supervision codes to obtain the barcode data of each electronic supervision code. According to the target drug variety, target drug quantity and multiple barcode data, it is judged whether the multiple drugs to be sent placed by the pharmacist are correct. If correct, it indicates that the multiple drugs to be sent placed by the pharmacist are the target drug variety and target drug quantity in the prescription, so that the pharmacist can send the multiple drugs to the patient.

[0022] The hospital information system 102 is used to respond to the user's prescription recognition instruction, determine the prescription information on the prescription, the prescription information includes the target drug type and target drug quantity, and send the prescription information to the visual code reader 101 through the software interactive interface.

[0023] The following will describe in detail a method for dispensing medicine provided by an embodiment of the present application in conjunction with a specific implementation method. Figure 2 A flowchart of a method for dispensing medicine provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, the specific steps are as follows: Step 201, in response to a user's prescription identification instruction, determine the prescription information on the prescription in the hospital information system, the prescription information including the target drug type and the target drug quantity.

[0024] In practice, each box of medicine has a unique electronic supervision code. In the prior art, the logistics process or drug delivery record of the medicine is recorded by scanning the code separately for each item. However, for large quantities of medicines at the pharmacy window or other logistics transfer, if they are still scanned and recorded separately box by box, the scanning workload is too large, and the slow delivery speed affects the delivery work. In order to reduce the scanning workload and increase the delivery speed, batch scanning can be used. When the pharmacy delivers medicines, the prescription medicines must be prepared in advance and put in the basket. When the patient goes to the window to pick up the medicine, the medical card or prescription sheet is handed to the pharmacist. The pharmacist swipes the medical card or scans the prescription sheet on the hospital information system of the terminal where the window delivers medicines to determine the prescription information on the patient's prescription sheet. Among them, the prescription information includes the target drug variety and the target drug quantity. In the subsequent steps, after the hospital information system obtains the patient's prescription information, it can send the prescription information to the visual barcode reader. The visual barcode reader compares the prescription information with the identified drugs, so as to help the pharmacist determine whether the drug is dispensed correctly and provide error correction prompts. Therefore, it is necessary to obtain the patient's prescription information from the hospital information system at the beginning. Therefore, in response to the user's prescription recognition instruction, the prescription information on the prescription sheet is determined in the hospital information system. The user's prescription recognition instruction is for the pharmacist to swipe the medical card or scan the prescription sheet in the hospital information system.

[0025] Step 202: The hospital information system sends the prescription information to the visual code reader through the software interactive interface and displays it on the front-end PAD screen.

[0026] In implementation, after the hospital information system obtains the patient's prescription information, it can send the prescription information to the visual barcode reader through the software interactive interface, and the visual barcode reader displays the prescription information on the front-end PAD screen. In this way, the pharmacist does not need to scan the prescription again on the visual barcode reader. Among them, the visual barcode reader integrates the camera's photo taking and the barcode recognition function in the image, which can immediately identify the barcode of the photographed image, and can batch recognize multiple barcodes in the image. Display on the front-end PAD screen, so that in the subsequent steps, the pharmacist will pick up the medicine according to the target drug variety and target drug quantity displayed on the front-end PAD screen, and identify the drugs to be issued through the visual barcode reader to determine whether the two are consistent, to ensure that the medicine picked up by the pharmacist is consistent with the prescription information.

[0027] Step 203, the visual code reader collects the electronic supervision codes of the multiple drugs placed by the pharmacist on the placement table of the visual code reader, and identifies the multiple electronic supervision codes to obtain the barcode data of each electronic supervision code.

[0028] In the implementation, the pharmacist picks up the medicine based on the target drug variety and target drug quantity on the front-end PAD screen. The pharmacist places the multiple drugs to be dispatched on the placement table of the visual barcode reader, with the electronic supervision codes of the drugs to be dispatched facing upwards, and scans the electronic supervision codes of the multiple drugs to be dispatched. The visual barcode reader collects the electronic supervision codes of the multiple drugs placed by the pharmacist on the placement table of the visual barcode reader, and identifies the collected multiple electronic supervision codes to obtain the barcode data of each electronic supervision code. China's electronic supervision code is one code for one object, and the number of barcode data of the electronic supervision code in the batch reading data is the number of medicine boxes. Among them, the barcode data is a twenty-digit number. The visual barcode reader automatically realizes batch reading and identifies the twenty-digit number of each electronic supervision code. The visual barcode reader pre-stores the electronic supervision code of each drug, and the drug variety can be determined by the first seven digits of the barcode data. Since the number segment of the electronic supervision code is assigned to the pharmaceutical factory by the Food and Drug Administration, the old number segment may not be sufficient for drugs with large production volumes, so a new number segment will be replaced and the new first seven digits will be used on the new medicine box. Therefore, the first seven digits of the electronic supervision code of the same drug are also different. The visual barcode reader pre-stores multiple electronic supervision codes of the same drug, and can identify the first seven digits on the new medicine box of the same drug. Therefore, the visual barcode reader collects the electronic supervision codes of multiple drugs placed by the pharmacist on the placement table of the visual barcode reader, and identifies the multiple electronic supervision codes to obtain the barcode data of each electronic supervision code.

[0029] In step 204, the visual code reader determines whether the multiple drugs to be dispatched placed by the pharmacist are correct based on the target drug variety, target drug quantity and multiple barcode data. If correct, it indicates that the multiple drugs to be dispatched placed by the pharmacist are the target drug variety and target drug quantity in the prescription, so that the pharmacist can dispatch the multiple drugs to the patient.

[0030] In practice, after the visual barcode reader recognizes multiple barcode data, it determines whether the types and quantities of the multiple drugs to be dispatched placed by the pharmacist are correct based on the target drug types and target drug quantities in the prescription information and the multiple barcode data obtained by recognition. If correct, it indicates that the multiple drugs to be dispatched placed by the pharmacist are the target drug types and target drug quantities in the prescription, and the drugs taken by the pharmacist are correct. At this time, the pharmacist can send the multiple drugs to be dispatched to the patient. If incorrect, the subsequent steps can prompt the pharmacist to correct the error.

[0031] Specifically, the execution steps are as follows: according to the target drug type, target drug quantity and multiple barcode data, the specific steps of judging whether the multiple drugs to be dispatched placed by the pharmacist are correct: Step 1: The visual code reader determines the types and quantities of the multiple drugs to be dispatched placed by the pharmacist based on the multiple barcode data.

[0032] In practice, the electronic supervision code is one code for each item. Based on the first seven digits and quantity of the barcode data of the electronic supervision code in the batch reading data, the visual barcode reader can determine the types and quantities of the multiple drugs to be dispatched placed by the pharmacist. Subsequently, a one-to-one comparison is made between the types and quantities of the drugs to be dispatched and the target types and quantities of the drugs in the prescription to determine whether the drugs are dispensed correctly.

[0033] Step 2: The visual code reader performs a one-to-one comparison between the types and quantities of drugs to be dispatched and the types and quantities of target drugs in the prescription information to obtain a comparison result, and based on the comparison result, determines whether the multiple drugs to be dispatched placed by the pharmacist are correct.

[0034] In implementation, the visual code reader matches the types of drugs to be dispatched with the target drug types in the prescription information one-to-one to determine whether the types of drugs to be dispatched placed by the pharmacist are complete. The visual code reader compares the number of drugs to be dispatched with the target number of drugs one-to-one to determine whether the corresponding number of each type of drugs to be dispatched placed by the pharmacist is accurate. The visual code reader obtains the comparison results and determines whether the multiple drugs to be dispatched placed by the pharmacist are correct based on the comparison results. In this way, it can be determined whether the multiple drugs to be dispatched grabbed by the pharmacist are the target drug types and target drug quantities in the prescription information.

[0035] Furthermore, the visual code reader pushes the comparison results to the front-end PAD screen for display.

[0036] In practice, the visual barcode reader pushes the comparison results to the front-end PAD screen for display, so that the pharmacist can intuitively see the comparison results and determine whether the medicine is correct. If it is correct, the medicine can be given to the patient. If there is an error, it will be corrected.

[0037] Furthermore, if it is determined that there are errors in the multiple drugs to be dispatched placed by the pharmacist, the visual code reader determines the cause of the drug error and sends the cause of the drug error to the front-end PAD screen for display, so as to remind the pharmacist to correct the errors in the drugs to be dispatched.

[0038] In implementation, if after comparison, the visual code reader determines that the drugs to be sent by the pharmacist are wrong, the visual code reader determines the cause of the drug error and sends the cause of the drug error to the front-end PAD screen for display. The cause of the drug error is used to remind the pharmacist that the drugs to be sent are wrong and need to be corrected. Among them, the cause of the drug error can be that the drug variety of the drugs to be sent is not the target drug variety, the drug variety to be sent is correct but the quantity is less than the target drug quantity, or the drug to be sent is correct but the quantity is greater than the target drug quantity. The cause of the drug error can be displayed by the background color of the drug entry to prompt the pharmacist that the drugs to be sent are wrong and need to be corrected. For example, different background colors of the drug entries are displayed to help pharmacists correct errors: 1) Green drug entries indicate that the variety and quantity are correct, 2) Yellow drug entries indicate that the variety is correct but the quantity is not less than the target drug quantity, 3) Red drug entries indicate that the variety is correct and the quantity is greater than the target drug quantity, 4) Red exclamation mark indicates that the prescription does not have this drug variety. In actual applications, the cause of the drug error can also be displayed in other forms of expression, which are not limited here. In this way, the functions of rapid drug dispensing and batch code reading and verification can be realized without changing the pharmacist's original workflow or adding additional links to the pharmacist's work. It can also quickly display information on whether there is a shortage, excess, or error in the drugs dispensed to the pharmacist, and quickly and effectively assist the pharmacist in preventing the problem of wrong drugs, over-dispensing, or under-dispensing.

[0039] Furthermore, the visual code reader binds the types and quantities of drugs to be dispatched with the types and quantities of target drugs, and sends them to the hospital information system for storage.

[0040] During implementation, the visual barcode reader binds the types and quantities of drugs to be dispatched with the target types and quantities of drugs, and sends the bound types and quantities of drugs to be dispatched with the target types and quantities of drugs to be dispatched to the hospital information system for storage. In this way, the correctness of the drug types can be verified by the first 7 digits of the electronic supervision code identified by taking a photo when dispensing the drugs, and the correctness of the number of medicine boxes can be verified by the number of electronic supervision codes. In this way, the verification function is realized, and by checking the patient's prescription, it can be found out which medicine boxes with electronic supervision codes were issued to the patient, realizing the later traceability function of one object and one code.

[0041] Furthermore, for drugs without electronic supervision codes, they can be photographed and stored using a visual barcode reader for easy tracing and review later.

[0042] The embodiment of the present application provides a method for dispensing medicines. When dispensing medicines, the electronic supervision codes of multiple medicines placed by the pharmacist can be collected through a visual code reader, and the medicines corresponding to the multiple electronic supervision codes can be compared with the medicines in the prescription to ensure that the pharmacist dispenses the medicines correctly. In this way, without changing the original workflow of the pharmacist or increasing the links of the pharmacist's work, rapid dispensing of medicines and batch code reading and verification are achieved, thereby improving the speed of dispensing medicines. The comparison results are displayed on the front-end PAD screen to quickly show the pharmacist whether there is a shortage, excess, or error information, and quickly and effectively assist the pharmacist to prevent the problem of dispensing the wrong medicine, over-issuing, or under-issuing. The medicines dispensed by the pharmacist are bound to the prescription and stored in the database, realizing the later traceability function.
