Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical information technology, specifically to a method for managing the dispensing of prescription drugs outside of hospitals. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of mobile internet technology, the public's demand for convenient medical services is growing.

[0003] Traditional prescription acquisition methods in medical institutions suffer from cumbersome procedures, long waiting times, and strict geographical restrictions. This is particularly inconvenient for patients with chronic diseases requiring long-term medication, as multiple trips to the hospital for follow-up appointments and prescriptions are extremely difficult to manage. Simultaneously, the safe use and proper supervision of medical insurance funds face challenges, including risks such as irrational medication dispensing and abuse of medical insurance funds. To meet the demand for convenient dispensing of prescriptions covered by medical insurance at pharmacies, regulate the use of medical insurance funds, and improve the efficiency of medical services, various regions have begun to explore outpatient prescription dispensing management models. However, existing technical solutions often suffer from low system integration, lax identity verification, opaque review processes, and a lack of effective in-process supervision, failing to truly achieve a safe, efficient, and convenient one-stop service for "diagnosis and treatment + medication dispensing."

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a management method for outpatient prescription allocation that can integrate medical resources, ensure medication safety, and strengthen medical insurance supervision. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for managing the outpatient preparation of prescription drugs. Through the collaborative work of terminal devices and the outpatient preparation management system for prescription drugs, it realizes full-process digital management, including dual verification of patient identity, intelligent triage of online consultation and one-click prescription renewal, hierarchical review by doctors and pharmacists, and synchronization of prescriptions with the medical insurance platform. This effectively saves patients' time in seeing a doctor and buying medicine, eliminates unreasonable medical insurance fund drug dispensing, improves the efficiency and accuracy of convenient medical services, and provides patients with a more convenient and safe one-stop service experience of "medication + treatment".

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A method for managing the dispensing of prescription drugs outside hospitals, the method being based on a terminal device and a prescription drug dispensing management system outside hospitals. The terminal device is used in pharmacies. The prescription drug dispensing management system includes a backend server, a data storage and exchange module, and a network communication module. The terminal device is communicatively connected to the backend server, which includes a doctor review terminal and a pharmacist review terminal. The backend server is used to run the doctor review terminal and the pharmacist review terminal, handling the receipt, allocation, initial review, verification, and uploading of prescriptions. The data storage and exchange module is used to store patient information, prescription information, and log information, and provides an interface for data interaction with a medical insurance-related platform database. The network communication module is used to ensure secure data transmission between the various components of the system. The method includes the following steps: Step 1.0: The patient initiates the outpatient configuration process at the pharmacy through the terminal device. The terminal device's operation interface presents options such as online consultation and one-click prescription renewal for the patient to choose from. Step 2.0: Log in to the system using both facial recognition and electronic medical insurance voucher verification until the system verifies the patient's identity; Step 3.0: If the patient selects the online consultation function, the online consultation sub-process will begin, and the patient will fill in the consultation information; Step 3.1: The patient confirms their own operation by using an electronic signature; Step 3.2: The patient clicks submit, and the system automatically completes the registration and payment process, then proceeds to step 4.0; If the patient selects the one-click prescription renewal function in step 3.0, the one-click prescription renewal sub-process will be entered. The system will retrieve and display the patient's historical prescription information for selection. After the patient confirms and submits the selected prescription, the system will proceed to step 4.0. Step 4.0: The terminal device transmits the consultation request or prescription renewal request generated in Step 3.0 to the doctor's review terminal via the network communication module; Step 5.0: After receiving the request, the doctor review terminal assigns doctors to issue prescriptions and conducts preliminary reviews in a way that involves accepting or bidding for orders; Step 6.0: After the prescription is initially approved by the doctor, the system automatically transfers the prescription to the pharmacist's review terminal for pharmaceutical review; Step 7.0: After the prescription is reviewed and approved by the pharmacist, the system uploads the electronic prescription to the medical insurance platform database through the data storage and exchange module. Step 8.0: The pharmacy downloads the verified electronic prescription from the system; Step 9.0: Pharmacy staff dispense the medication to the patient based on the downloaded electronic prescription.

[0007] Compared with existing technologies, the prescription drug outpatient preparation management method using the above-mentioned technical solution has the following beneficial effects: The prescription drug outpatient preparation management method of this invention achieves full-process digital management from patient identity verification, consultation application, prescription issuance, review and verification to medical insurance uploading through the systematic integration of terminal equipment and back-end service. This greatly improves the efficiency and accuracy of prescription preparation, while ensuring the security of patient identity and medical insurance funds through a dual verification mechanism.

[0008] Preferably, the preliminary review of the prescription application in step 5.0 includes the following sub-steps: Step 5.1: The doctor's review panel displays the prescription application to be reviewed, along with associated patient information and historical medication information; Step 5.2: The reviewing doctor assesses the reasonableness of the prescription request based on their medical knowledge; Step 5.3: If the reviewing doctor has any questions about the patient's current condition or prescription application, the system will initiate a video call request to the source terminal device. Step 5.4: If the patient accepts the video request, a video call connection is established, and the reviewing doctor further understands the patient's condition through video consultation; after the video consultation ends, proceed to step 5.5; Step 5.5: The reviewing physician makes a review conclusion based on all the information: if approved, proceed to step 6.0; if rejected, terminate the process and send a review failure notification to the terminal device.

[0009] By introducing a video consultation sub-process, doctors are provided with a face-to-face remote communication channel, which effectively resolves questions during the review process, improves the accuracy and rationality of prescription review, and avoids prescription errors caused by incomplete information.

[0010] Preferably, in step 1.0, the terminal device is either a desktop facial recognition terminal or a handheld mobile terminal. By adopting both desktop and handheld mobile terminal forms, the system adapts to the spatial layout and usage scenarios of different pharmacies, improving its applicability and flexibility.

[0011] Preferably, in step 1.0, the terminal device's user interface also provides functional options including prescription inquiry, queue inquiry, missed appointment cancellation, medication inquiry, and receipt reprint. By integrating multiple functions such as prescription inquiry, queue inquiry, missed appointment cancellation, medication inquiry, and receipt reprint, comprehensive self-service functions are provided for patients and pharmacy staff, greatly improving operational convenience and service efficiency.

[0012] Preferably, in step 3.0, if the patient selects the online consultation function, the consultation information includes a description of the illness, a history of confirmed medical conditions, and information on the medications to be prescribed. By collecting standardized consultation information, including a description of the illness, a history of confirmed medical conditions, and information on the medications to be prescribed, doctors are provided with sufficient diagnostic evidence, improving the accuracy of online consultations and the rationality of prescriptions.

[0013] Preferably, in step 3.0, if the patient selects the one-click prescription renewal function, the system retrieves historical prescriptions and interacts with the medical insurance platform database through the data storage and exchange module to screen and compare patient information. By automatically retrieving historical prescriptions and interacting with the medical insurance platform database, the system achieves automatic screening and comparison of patient information, greatly reducing the workload of one-click prescription renewal and improving the prescription renewal efficiency for patients with chronic diseases.

[0014] Preferably, in step 6.0, the pharmaceutical review includes verification of drug incompatibilities, dosage, and allergy history. Through multi-dimensional pharmaceutical review, including verification of drug incompatibilities, dosage, and allergy history, the safety of the prescription is effectively ensured, avoiding the risks of adverse drug reactions and medication errors.

[0015] Preferably, between step 8.0 and step 9.0, the following step is further included: Step 8.1: Pharmacy staff use the drug query function on the terminal device to scan or enter prescription drug information and verify drug inventory and drug details; Step 8.2: If the inventory is sufficient and the information is correct, proceed to step 9.0; if the inventory is insufficient or there is a discrepancy in the information, pause the process or proceed to step 5.3 for processing.

[0016] The drug query and inventory verification functions enable pharmacy staff to keep track of drug inventory in real time, avoiding dispensing interruptions due to insufficient inventory and effectively optimizing the dispensing process.

[0017] Preferably, after the prescription is uploaded to the National Medical Insurance Platform in step 7.0, or after the medication is dispensed in step 9.0, the patient or pharmacy staff can reprint the voucher for the current transaction using the receipt reprint function on the terminal device. This receipt reprint function provides a voucher reprint service for patients and pharmacies, resolving the inconvenience caused by lost or damaged paper vouchers, and improving service integrity and user experience.

[0018] Preferably, the execution of the prescription query function includes the following steps: Step 10.1: After logging in with their real name via facial recognition on the terminal device, the patient selects the prescription inquiry function; Step 10.2: The system initiates a query request to the medical insurance-related platform database through the data storage and exchange module; Step 10.3: The system receives the query results and displays the status of the prescription to the patient on the terminal device.

[0019] By enabling patients to log in with their real names using facial recognition and check their prescription status, the system allows them to stay informed about the progress of their prescriptions, thus improving the transparency and traceability of the prescription process.
