Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of medical equipment, and particularly to an intelligent dispensing cabinet. BACKGROUND

[0002] The current ADC dispensing process is as follows: after a doctor issues an inpatient order in HIS, a nurse transmits the order to a pharmacy, and after the order information is transmitted to a ward ADC after being audited by a back-end prescription auditing system and a pharmacist, the medicines not in the ward ADC need to be manually dispensed by an inpatient pharmacy. The nurse logs in to the ADC operating system by fingerprint, selects a patient who needs to take medicine in a patient list, and a display screen displays all medicines of the patient within 24 hours. The nurse selects the medicines to be taken according to a time period, and the ADC medicine storage positions will be sequentially indicated by a light indicator, and the corresponding cabinet door or drawer will be automatically opened, and the medicine storage position indicator will flash. The display screen displays the order information, prompting the nurse to take the number of medicines and the remaining number of medicines. After the medicines are taken, the indicator of another medicine to be taken flashes, and the nurse takes the medicine according to the same operation process, and after all the medicines of the patient are taken, the next patient is taken. In the repeated process, the nurse needs to queue for a long time to take medicine, and when the nurse has many patients who need to be treated with medicine in a short time, it is easy to cause mixing errors, and it is always found to be lagging behind.
