DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0009] Examples of the embodiments will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In each of the drawings referred to in the following description, the scale is changed as necessary so that each illustrated element has a recognizable size.

[0010] FIG. 1 illustrates the configuration of an inventory management system 10 according to an embodiment. The inventory management system 10 includes a client device 11 and a server device 12. The client device 11 is used by a medical institution 20. The client device 11 may be a stationary device installed at a specific location, or a portable device that can be carried by a user. The server device 12 is installed at a location remote from the medical institution 20.

[0011] The client device 11 and the server device 12 are configured to perform two-way communication of data via a communication network 30. The client device 11 and the server device 12 cooperate to manage the inventory of pharmaceuticals in the medical institution 20.

[0012] Note that, in this specification, the term "medical institution" is used to mean not only a dispensing pharmacy, a hospital, a clinic, a clinic, and a dispensary, but also a wholesaler of pharmaceuticals.

[0013] As illustrated in FIG. 2, the client device 11 includes a communication interface 111. On the other hand, the server device 12 includes a communication interface 121. Each of the communication interface 111 and the communication interface 121 is a hardware interface configured to enable the above-described bidirectional data communication.

[0014] The client device 11 includes a processor 112 and a storage 113. The storage 113 stores inventory information indicating the inventory quantity of pharmaceuticals in the medical institution 20. The types of pharmaceuticals subject to inventory quantity management can be plural. The processor 112 is configured to be able to execute storage, reading, updating, deletion, etc. of the inventory information with respect to the storage 113.

[0015] The processor 112 and the storage 113 may be mounted on a common housing, or may be provided in a distributed manner in a plurality of independent housings.

[0016] The server device 12 includes a processor 122 and a storage 123. The storage 123 stores management information for managing the in-stock pharmaceuticals of the medical institution 20. The processor 122 is configured to be able to execute storage, reading, updating, deletion, etc. of the management information with respect to the storage 123.

[0017] The processor 122 and the storage 123 may be mounted on a common housing, or may be provided in a distributed manner in a plurality of independent housings.

[0018] FIG. 3 shows an example of the flow of a method for managing the inventory of pharmaceuticals executed by the client device 11 and the server device 12. FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining the concept of inventory management of pharmaceuticals in a general medical institution.

[0019] In the graph illustrated in FIG. 4, the horizontal axis represents the passage of time, and the vertical axis represents the inventory quantity of a specific pharmaceutical. The downward-sloping straight line represents the situation where the inventory quantity decreases as the pharmaceutical is prescribed in the medical institution.

[0020] The reference value Ar defines the appropriate inventory level of the drug in the medical institution. In the medical institution, when the inventory level of the drug decreases to a certain extent, a purchase order is placed to avoid out-of-stock situations. For example, the reference value Ar can provide a criterion for when a purchase order is required.

[0021] In the example shown in FIG. 4, as time passes, the inventory level decreases from the initial value A1 and falls below the reference value Ar at time t1. The staff of the medical institution places a purchase order to replenish the drug at an appropriate timing after time t1. In this example, the inventory is replenished to recover the initial value A1.

[0022] The purchase quantity for replenishment can be adjusted as appropriate. As an example, the purchase quantity can be determined so as to maintain a state where the inventory level does not greatly exceed the reference value Ar. In the purchase order placed when the inventory level falls below the reference value Ar at time t2, the order is placed so that the inventory level becomes A2, which is closer to the reference value Ar than the initial value A1.

[0023] The inventory level recovered by a certain purchase order does not always match the intended value. In the purchase order placed when the inventory level falls below the reference value at time t3, considering the situation where the inventory level has decreased relatively rapidly until time t3, the purchase quantity is set to be slightly larger with the intention of recovering to the inventory level A2. However, since the rate of decrease in the inventory level after time t3 has decreased, the inventory level has recovered to A3, which is more than the intended A2.

[0024] As illustrated in FIG. 3, when a drug is prescribed to a patient in the medical institution 20, the prescribed quantity of the drug is input using the client device 11 (STEP11). The processor 112 of the client device 11 transmits the prescription performance information to the server device 12 through the communication interface 111 (STEP12). The prescription performance information includes information indicating the time when the prescription was made in addition to the information indicating the prescribed quantity.

[0025] Subsequently, the processor 112 updates the inventory information of the drug stored in the storage 113 (STEP13). Specifically, a process of subtracting the prescribed amount indicated by the prescription performance information from the inventory amount indicated by the inventory information is performed.

[0026] In the server device 12, the prescription performance information is received through the communication interface 121 (STEP21). The processor 122 of the server device 12 updates the management information of the drug stored in the storage 123 (STEP22).

[0027] The management information according to this embodiment example includes prescription tendency information. The prescription tendency information is configured to show the tendency of the prescribed amount of the drug in the medical institution 20 in units of days of the week by being acquired based on the prescription performance information.

[0028] Specifically, the processor 122 records information indicating the prescribed amount of the drug and the day of the week on which the prescription was made in the storage 123. The recording is made cumulatively. As a result, the prescription tendency information may include information indicating the cumulative prescribed amount, the average prescribed amount, etc. of the drug in units of days of the week.

[0029] FIG. 5 illustrates the prescription tendency information thus obtained. In this example, it can be confirmed that the prescribed amount of the drug tends to be large on Thursday and Friday.

[0030] The processor 122 according to this embodiment example is configured to be able to change the reference value Ar related to the above-mentioned inventory amount in units of days of the week based on the prescription tendency information. In the example shown in FIG. 5, since it is possible to read from the prescription tendency information that a relatively large number of prescriptions are made on Thursday, the reference value applied on Wednesday is changed to a higher value Ar' than the normal value Ar. As a result, at time t1, the inventory amount falls below the changed reference value Ar', and a purchase order for replenishment can be made during Wednesday.

[0031] The two-dot chain line shown in the area for Thursday indicates the change in the inventory level when the prescription for Thursday is started without changing the reference value Ar. Even if a purchase order for replenishment is placed because the inventory level falls below the reference value Ar at time t2, there is a risk of out-of-stock at time t3. It can be seen that by changing the reference value higher as described above, the timing of the purchase order for replenishment is advanced and out-of-stock can be avoided.

[0032] That is, as illustrated in FIG. 3, the processor 122 of the server device 12 determines whether it is necessary to change the reference value Ar based on the current day of the week and the processing tendency information (STEP23). If it is determined that the change of the reference value Ar is not necessary (NO in STEP23), the process returns to STEP21 and waits for the reception of the next prescription result information.

[0033] If it is determined that the change of the reference value Ar is necessary (YES in STEP23), the processor 122 transmits a change instruction for changing the reference value Ar referred to by the client device 11 from the communication interface 121 to the client device 11 (STEP24). The change instruction includes information specifying the value of the reference value after the change. Thereafter, the process returns to STEP21 in the same manner as above.

[0034] In the client device 11, after the update of the inventory information according to STEP13, it is determined whether a change instruction has been received by the communication interface 111 (STEP14). If it is determined that the change instruction has not been received (NO in STEP14), the processor 112 determines whether the inventory level of the medicine indicated by the inventory information is lower than the reference value Ar (STEP15). If it is determined that the inventory level is not lower than the reference value Ar (NO in STEP15), the process returns to STEP11 and waits for the next prescription.

[0035] When it is determined that a change instruction has been received (YES in STEP 14), the processor 112 changes the reference value Ar stored in the storage 113 or other storage element to the value specified by the change instruction (STEP 16). Thereafter, it is determined whether the inventory quantity is less than the changed reference value Ar (STEP 15).

[0036] When it is determined that the inventory quantity is less than the reference value Ar (YES in STEP 15), the processor 112 executes a notification process to prompt the user to place an order for the purchase of the pharmaceutical product (STEP 17). As an example, the processor 112 causes a display (not shown) to display information for prompting the purchase order. The display of the information may be made through a general-purpose web browser or through a dedicated application UI.

[0037] The user who has placed the purchase order inputs the purchase quantity of the pharmaceutical product into the client device 11 (STEP 18). The processor 112 updates the inventory information of the pharmaceutical product stored in the storage 113 (STEP 19). Specifically, a process of adding the above purchase quantity to the inventory quantity indicated by the inventory information is performed. Thereafter, the process returns to STEP 11.

[0038] For example, in the case of a hospital having a plurality of medical departments, due to reasons such as different days off for each medical department, the prescription quantity of pharmaceutical products may vary greatly on a daily basis. According to the configuration according to this embodiment example, prescription tendency information indicating the tendency of the prescription quantity of pharmaceutical products on a daily basis is acquired, and the reference value defining the appropriate inventory quantity of the pharmaceutical product can be changed on a daily basis based on the prescription tendency information. Thereby, even in a medical institution that prescribes pharmaceutical products to patients in a hospital as described above, the timing of the purchase order made to maintain the appropriate inventory quantity of the pharmaceutical product can be flexibly advanced or delayed. Therefore, the flexibility of inventory management of pharmaceutical products can be enhanced according to the actual situation of the medical institution.

[0039] If the order frequency can be reduced as a result of appropriately controlling the timing of purchase orders, it can also contribute to reducing the burden on the supplier delivering pharmaceuticals to medical institutions and the environmental impact caused by delivery vehicles.

[0040] The management information stored in the storage 123 of the server device 12 may include schedule information. The schedule information is configured to indicate fluctuations in the prescription volume of pharmaceuticals based on at least one of holidays, long vacations, number of weeks, number of months, and seasons in the medical institution 20. Note that, according to the schedule information referred to, the prescription tendency information obtained based on the prescription performance information may be obtained on a weekly, monthly, or seasonal basis.

[0041] As an example, the schedule information may indicate that the prescription volume of pharmaceuticals decreases on holidays and long vacations. When a certain day of the week is the day before a holiday or a long vacation such as New Year's Day, the processor 122 of the server device 12 may change to lower the reference value Ar set for that day of the week. Thereby, it may be possible to promote the avoidance of purchase orders that may result in excess inventory.

[0042] As another example, the schedule information may indicate that the prescription volume of pharmaceuticals increases during a specific number of weeks (for example, the fourth week of each month), a specific month (for example, December), or a specific season (for example, winter). When a certain day of the week meets such time conditions, the processor 122 of the server device 12 may change to raise the reference value Ar set for that day of the week.

[0043] According to the configuration as described above, it is possible to enhance the flexibility in responding to fluctuations in the prescription volume due to time-related circumstances that cannot be covered by adjusting the reference value on a daily basis.

[0044] In this embodiment example, the determination of whether the inventory level of a specific pharmaceutical product in the medical institution 20 is below the reference value Ar is made by the processor 112 of the client device 11. However, this determination may also be made by the processor 122 of the server device 12. FIG. 6 illustrates the flow of processing executed in such a configuration. The same reference numerals are assigned to the same processing elements as those described with reference to FIG. 3, and repetitive descriptions are omitted.

[0045] In the server device 12 according to this example, the management information stored in the storage 123 includes the inventory information of the pharmaceutical product. Therefore, when the prescription performance information is received through the communication interface 121 (STEP21), the processor 122 updates the inventory information included in the management information (STEP32). Specifically, a process of subtracting the prescription quantity indicated by the prescription performance information from the inventory quantity indicated by the inventory information is performed.

[0046] Thereafter, the processor 122 of the server device 12 determines whether it is necessary to change the reference value Ar based on the current day of the week and the processing tendency information (STEP33). If it is determined that the change of the reference value Ar is not necessary (NO in STEP33), the processor 122 determines whether the inventory level of the pharmaceutical product indicated by the inventory information is below the reference value Ar (STEP34). If it is determined that the inventory level is not below the reference value Ar (NO in STEP34), the process returns to STEP21 and waits for the reception of the next prescription performance information.

[0047] If it is determined that the change of the reference value Ar is necessary (YES in STEP33), the processor 122 changes the reference value Ar stored in the storage 113 or other storage elements to an appropriate value (STEP35). Thereafter, it is determined whether the inventory level is below the changed reference value Ar (STEP34).

[0048] When it is determined that the inventory level is below the reference value Ar (YES in STEP34), the processor 122 transmits a notification instruction from the communication interface 121 to the client device 11 to cause the client device 11 to execute a notification process for prompting the user to place an order for purchasing pharmaceuticals (STEP36).

[0049] In the client device 11, after transmitting the prescription performance information related to STEP12, it is determined whether a notification instruction has been received by the communication interface 111 (STEP43). If it is determined that no notification instruction has been received (NO in STEP43), the process returns to STEP11 and waits for the next prescription.

[0050] If it is determined that a notification instruction has been received (YES in STEP43), the processor 112 executes a notification process for prompting the user to place an order for purchasing pharmaceuticals (STEP17).

[0051] When a purchase order for replenishing pharmaceuticals is placed based on the notification process (STEP18), the processor 112 transmits order information indicating the purchase quantity of the pharmaceuticals to the server device 12 through the communication interface 111 (STEP49). Then, the process returns to STEP11.

[0052] In the server device 12, after transmitting the notification instruction related to STEP36, it is determined whether order information has been received by the communication interface 121 (STEP37). This process is repeated until it is determined that the order information has been received (NO in STEP37).

[0053] If it is determined that the order information has been received (YES in STEP37), the processor 122 updates the management information stored in the storage 123 (STEP38). Specifically, a process of adding the purchase quantity indicated by the order information to the inventory quantity indicated by the inventory information included in the management information is performed. Then, the process returns to STEP21.

[0054] According to such a configuration, since it is not necessary for the client device 11 to manage the inventory information and compare it with the reference value, a desired inventory management method can be realized with fewer computing resources.

[0055] As described with reference to FIG. 4, the inventory quantity of pharmaceuticals exceeding the reference value Ar by replenishment can be adjusted as appropriate. As an example, there is a need to reduce the surplus inventory quantity for events related to inventory management such as physical inventory and audits. The term "physical inventory" used here means an operation of evaluating the quality of goods, materials, etc. (including stores and warehouses) within a medical institution and calculating the inventory value. The term "audit" used here means being inspected by a higher-level hierarchy regarding the procedures and contents of operations.

[0056] The processor 122 of the server device 12 can be configured to change the reference value Ar based on the period until the event. For example, by making a change to lower the reference value Ar as the period until the event becomes shorter, it can be promoted to avoid purchase orders that may result in surplus inventory.

[0057] Even with such a configuration, the flexibility of pharmaceutical inventory management can be enhanced according to the actual situation of the medical institution.

[0058] The policy on how to determine the "appropriate inventory quantity" may vary for each medical institution. For example, whether to regard the inventory quantity that cannot result in out-of-stock as "surplus" or "margin" depends on the policy. Therefore, the processor 122 of the server device 12 can be configured to provide a plurality of modes in which the correspondence between the prescription performance information transmitted from the client device 11 and the reference value Ar is different. For example, the plurality of modes may include a first mode in which the reference value Ar is set relatively high, a second mode in which the reference value Ar is set relatively low, and a third mode in which an intermediate reference value Ar is set. In this case, the communication interface 121 of the server device 12 is configured to be able to receive an instruction from the client device 11 to select one of the plurality of modes.

[0059] In the first mode, since the reference value Ar is set relatively high, opportunities for purchase orders to replenish pharmaceuticals are likely to occur. A medical institution that prioritizes ensuring a margin for out-of-stock situations can select the first mode. In the second mode, since the reference value Ar is set relatively low, opportunities for purchase orders to replenish pharmaceuticals are unlikely to occur. A medical institution that prioritizes reducing surplus inventory can select the second mode. A medical institution that adopts an intermediate policy between the two can select the third mode.

[0060] Even with such a configuration, the flexibility of pharmaceutical inventory management can be enhanced according to the actual situation of medical institutions.

[0061] Each of the processor 112 of the client device 11 and the processor 122 of the server device 12 having the various functions described so far can be realized by a general-purpose microprocessor that operates in cooperation with a general-purpose memory. Examples of the general-purpose microprocessor can include a CPU, an MPU, and a GPU. Examples of the general-purpose memory can include a ROM and a RAM. In this case, a computer program for executing the above-described processing can be stored in the ROM. The ROM is an example of a non-transitory computer-readable medium in which a computer program is stored. The general-purpose microprocessor designates at least a part of the program stored on the ROM and expands it onto the RAM, and executes the above-described processing in cooperation with the RAM. The computer program may be pre-installed in the general-purpose memory, or may be downloaded from an external server device via a communication network and then installed in the general-purpose memory. In this case, the external server device is an example of a non-transitory computer-readable medium in which a computer program is stored.

[0062] Each of the processors 112 and 122 may be implemented by an application specific integrated circuit capable of executing the above computer programs such as a microcontroller, an ASIC, or an FPGA. In this case, the above computer program is pre-installed in a storage element included in the application specific integrated circuit. The storage element is an example of a computer-readable medium in which the computer program is stored. Each of the processors 112 and 122 may also be implemented by a combination of a general-purpose microprocessor and an application specific integrated circuit.

[0063] Each of the configurations described so far is merely an example for facilitating the understanding of the present disclosure. Each configuration example may be appropriately modified or combined with other configuration examples without departing from the spirit of the present disclosure.

[0064] The inventory management system according to each of the above-described embodiment examples may include a device (hereinafter referred to as a drug information management function) for devising a method for managing drugs when changing a drug to another drug having at least the same drug efficacy as the at least one drug efficacy of the drug. Note that the drug information management function may be provided as a function separate from other functions in the inventory management system according to the above-described embodiment examples. Matters that can be realized by the drug information management function will be specifically described below.

[0065] When changing a drug to one of a different manufacturer with the same drug efficacy, the demand prediction derived for the drug before the change may be carried over as the demand prediction for the drug after the change. "Demand prediction" means the predicted demand volume of the drug. The demand prediction may be information predicted from information regarding the prescribed drug, or may be information predicted from the relationship between the supplied amount of the drug and the inventory amount.

[0066] The determination as to whether drugs have the same drug efficacy may be made, for example, when specific digits of the YJ code are the same. As another example, a correspondence table associating the relationship between the individual specific name of the drug and the general name of the drug may be prepared in advance. When the general names are the same in the correspondence table, it is determined that the drugs have the same drug efficacy.

[0067] Demand inheritance may be performed when the packaging form of a drug is changed (for example, when the packaging form of a certain drug is changed from a 10-tablet unit to a 14-tablet unit). In this case, demand prediction can be made for the change in the packaging form. Specifically, the order quantity can be calculated in consideration of the number of tablets per unit in the changed packaging form.

[0068] The term "change in packaging form" as used herein may include, in addition to the change in the number of tablets per unit, the change in the storage container (for example, in the case of a topical drug such as an ointment or cream, when the form of the container in which the drug is stored is changed from a pot to a tube), the change in taste in an oral drug, and the like.

[0069] In the drug information management function, the amount of the drug to be ordered may be proposed based on the result of inheriting the demand prediction. In this case, it is preferable to change the amount of the drug proposed according to the above-mentioned change in the packaging form, change in the storage container, change in taste, and the like.

[0070] When a pharmaceutical manufacturer discontinues the production of a specific drug, the inheritance of the demand prediction related to the drug may be performed. In this case, in addition to the inheritance of the demand prediction, information related to the change of the pharmaceutical manufacturer, information related to the change of the wholesaler, and the like may be stored.

[0071] The information related to the predicted demand can be shared with the pharmaceutical manufacturer and the wholesaler. The sharing of the information can be realized by communicating the information to the terminal devices used by the pharmaceutical manufacturer and the wholesaler.

[0072] The configurations listed below also constitute a part of the present disclosure. Item 1: An interface for receiving prescription performance information indicating the prescribed amount of a pharmaceutical product from a client device used by a medical institution, Obtain prescription trend information that indicates the trend of the prescription volume of the pharmaceutical product in the medical institution at least on a daily basis based on the prescription performance information, and a processor capable of changing a reference value that defines the appropriate inventory volume of the pharmaceutical product in the medical institution at least on a daily basis based on the prescription trend information. It is provided with a server device.
