Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a medical workbench, specifically a medicine placement workbench. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most medication dispensing stations on the market have an upper cabinet and a lower cabinet structure. Items and medicines are piled up inside the cabinets or drawers, and cannot be clearly classified and stored. The oral medication dispensing stations used in hospital wards are all ordinary workbenches, without dedicated areas for storing oral medications in wards. Unclear labeling inside the cabinets may lead to medication confusion. The storage and retrieval practicality is not strong. For the bagged medications currently dispensed by the dispensing machine, the morning, noon and evening medications required by each patient cannot be stored separately. The drawers and cabinets cannot be orderly separated, making it difficult to find, disorganized, prone to errors, and reducing the accuracy and efficiency of medication retrieval. There are no medication dispensing status indicators, making it impossible to clearly identify which bed has been dispensed and which has not, which may lead to late dispensing or omissions, reducing the work efficiency of nurses. To retrieve items on the lower level of the operating table, one must bend over or squat down, especially for items near the inside of the cabinet, which requires squatting down to search one by one, making retrieval and other uses very inconvenient.
