Display unit 213 displays the acquired advice information for providing medication instruction on a display device connected to pharmacy terminal 20 via communication interface 24.

[0030] ***Effects of the First Embodiment*** As described above, the pharmacist work support system 100 according to the first embodiment receives input information and information contained in the attached document as input, and outputs advice information generated by the learning model 112. By referring to the advice information, it becomes possible to know what kind of medication instruction should be given to the patient, and high-quality medication instruction can be given regardless of the pharmacist in charge. Furthermore, by outputting the questions as sample questions that can be asked directly to patients, the advice information becomes easy to use regardless of the pharmacist's experience.

[0031] In the pharmacist work support system 100 of the first embodiment, information contained in the package insert is provided as input to the learning model 112. This makes it possible to prevent hallucination and obtain appropriate advice information corresponding to the prescribed drug. In particular, by providing instructions to extract advice information for providing medication instructions from the information contained in the package insert, hallucination is appropriately prevented.

[0032] ***Other Configurations*** <Variation 1> In the first embodiment, the input information includes information extracted from the medical questionnaire information. However, the medical questionnaire information is not essential. If the input information includes information extracted from the medical questionnaire information, it is possible to obtain more appropriate advice information. However, even if the input information does not include information extracted from the medical questionnaire information, it is possible to obtain generally appropriate advice information.

[0033] Embodiment 2 The second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that prescription difference information indicating the difference between the contents of the current prescription and the contents of the previous prescription is input. In the second embodiment, this difference will be explained, and explanations of the same points will be omitted.

[0034] There are cases where a patient revisits the pharmacy 30. In such cases, information about the patient from previous visits has been recorded. Therefore, the pharmacist work support system 100 generates a prompt using the information recorded about the patient.

[0035] ***Explanation of Operation*** The operation of the pharmacist work support system 100 according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0036] The processing of the pharmacist work support system 100 according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 5. The processing from step S11 to step S13 differs from that of the first embodiment. (Step S11: Reception process) As in the first embodiment, reception unit 211 of pharmacy terminal 20 receives reception information from a patient who is prescribed medication. The reception information includes patient personal information, medical questionnaire information, and prescription information. In the case of a patient who is visiting the pharmacy again, the patient personal information and medical questionnaire information include information on changes since the patient's previous visit. Furthermore, the prescription information includes not only the most recent prescription information, which is information on the prescription at the current visit, but also past prescription information, which is information on the prescription at the previous visit.

[0037] The reception process (step S11 in FIG. 5) according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. The processing from step S111 to step S113 is the same as that in FIG.

[0038] The reception unit 211 determines whether the patient is a returning patient based on the patient's name, telephone number, address, etc. (step S110). Specifically, the reception unit 211 searches personal information in the patient data 131 of the pharmacist work support device 10 using the patient's name, telephone number, and address as keywords. If no information corresponding to the keywords is found, the reception unit 211 determines that the patient is a first-time patient. On the other hand, if information corresponding to the keywords is found, the reception unit 211 determines that the patient is a returning patient. If the patient is visiting the store for the first time, the reception unit 211 advances the process to step S111. On the other hand, if the patient is visiting the store for the second time, the reception unit 211 advances the process to step S114.

[0039] In the case of a returning patient, the reception unit 211 reads out the patient's personal information and medical questionnaire information from the patient data 131 in the pharmacist work support device 10. The pharmacist confirms with the patient any changes to the patient's personal information and medical questionnaire information. When the pharmacist inputs the changes into the pharmacy terminal 20, the reception unit 211 accepts the patient's personal information and medical questionnaire information with the identified changes (step S114). Note that the reception unit 211 may also include information before the changes. Next, the pharmacist receives the prescription from the patient. The pharmacist inputs the prescription information into the pharmacy terminal 20, and the reception unit 211 receives the most recent prescription information. Furthermore, the reception unit 211 reads out the patient's previous prescription information from the patient data 131 of the pharmacist work support device 10 as past prescription information. The reception unit 211 then sets the most recent prescription information and the past prescription information together as the prescription information (step S115).

[0040] (Step S12: Extraction process) As in the first embodiment, extraction unit 212 of pharmacy terminal 20 extracts input information from the reception information received in step S11 and transmits the input information to pharmacist work support device 10. However, the extraction unit 212 also includes information indicating changes to the patient personal information and medical questionnaire information in the input information. Furthermore, with regard to prescription information, the extraction unit 212 extracts at least a portion of information from each of the most recent prescription information and the past prescription information. For example, the extraction unit 212 extracts the drug name, quantity, and usage of the prescribed drug from each of the most recent prescription information and the past prescription information. Then, the extraction unit 212 extracts prescription difference information indicating the difference between the information extracted from the most recent prescription information and the information extracted from the past prescription information. In other words, the extraction unit 212 extracts prescription difference information indicating the difference between the contents of the current prescription and the contents of the previous prescription. Then, the extraction unit 212 includes the most recent prescription information and the prescription difference information in the input information. Note that the extraction unit 212 may also include past prescription information in the input information.

[0041] (Step S13: Input processing) As in the first embodiment, the input unit 111 of the pharmacist work support device 10 inputs input information as a prompt to the learning model 112. As a result, for the patient personal information and medical questionnaire information, information indicating changes is input as a prompt. For the prescription information, in addition to the most recent prescription information, prescription difference information is input as a prompt.

[0042] ***Effects of the Second Embodiment*** As described above, the pharmacist work support system 100 according to the second embodiment generates prompts by using previously recorded information about the patient, which enables the learning model 112 to generate more appropriate advice information.

[0043] Embodiment 3 The third embodiment differs from the second embodiment in that information indicating the content of medication instructions given to the patient in the past is input to the learning model 112. In the third embodiment, this difference will be explained, and explanation of the same points will be omitted.

[0044] The processing of the pharmacist work support system 100 according to the third embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 5. The processing from step S11 to step S13 differs from that of the second embodiment. (Step S11: Reception process) In the case of a returning patient, reception unit 211 of pharmacy terminal 20 reads out information indicating the contents of medication instructions previously given to the patient.

[0045] The reception process (step S11 in FIG. 5) according to the third embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. The processing from step S110 to step S115 is the same as in Fig. 10. In the case of a returning patient, following the processing of step S115, reception unit 211 reads out information indicating the content of medication instructions given to the patient in the past and adds it to the reception information (step S116). Specifically, reception unit 211 reads out information registered in the patient's past SOAP medication history as information indicating the content of medication instructions given in the past. At this time, reception unit 211 may read out all of the patient's past SOAP medication history, or may read out only the SOAP medication history for a certain period of time in the past.

[0046] (Step S12: Extraction process) As in the second embodiment, extraction unit 212 of pharmacy terminal 20 extracts input information from the reception information received in step S11 and transmits the input information to pharmacist work support device 10.

[0055] ***Explanation of Operation*** The processing of the pharmacist work support system 100 according to the fifth embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 5. The processing of step S13 differs from that of the first to fourth embodiments.

[0056] (Step S13: Input processing) As in the first embodiment, the input unit 111 of the pharmacist work support device 10 inputs input information as a prompt to the learning model 112. At this time, the input unit 111 adds statistical information indicating the timing of the occurrence of side effects of the drug currently prescribed to the patient to the prompt, and then inputs the information to the learning model 112. Statistical information indicating the timing of side effects is information that indicates, for example, that there is an A% chance that side effect X will occur within x days of starting to take the drug, and that there is a B% chance that side effect Y will occur between x and x days.

[0057] ***Effects of the Fifth Embodiment*** As described above, the pharmacist work support system 100 according to the fifth embodiment inputs statistical information indicating the timing of the onset of side effects into the learning model 112. This enables the learning model 112 to identify what side effects are likely to occur in the current patient, and to generate advice information regarding the side effects that may occur. As a result, the learning model 112 can generate more appropriate advice information.

[0058] Embodiment 6 The sixth embodiment differs from the first to fifth embodiments in that advice information is output with a priority assigned to it. In the sixth embodiment, this difference will be explained, and explanation of the same points will be omitted. In the sixth embodiment, a case where a modification is made to the first embodiment will be described. However, modifications can also be made to the second to fifth embodiments.

[0059] ***Explanation of Operation*** The processing of the pharmacist work support system 100 according to the sixth embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 5. The processing of step S13 differs from that of the first to fifth embodiments. (Step S13: Input processing) As in the first embodiment, the input unit 111 of the pharmacist work support device 10 inputs input information as a prompt to the learning model 112. At this time, the input unit 111 writes an instruction to prioritize advice information in the instruction form for generating the prompt. The input unit 111 writes the instruction so that advice information indicating content that should be given priority to the patient is given a higher priority.

[0060] ***Effects of the Sixth Embodiment*** As described above, the pharmacist work support system 100 according to the sixth embodiment prioritizes advice information. This allows the pharmacist to refer to the priority order when providing medication instruction and decide which advice information to refer to. As a result, medication instruction can be provided smoothly.

[0061] ***Other Configurations*** <Variation 3> The input unit 111 may write in the command or constraint conditions for generating a prompt that a specified number of pieces of advice information are to be output in descending order of priority. A plurality of modes may be prepared as operation modes of pharmacy terminal 20, and the designated number may be changed depending on the selected operation mode. For example, a normal mode and a simple mode may be prepared, and when the simple mode is selected, the designated number may be reduced compared to when the normal mode is selected, so that advice information is displayed in a simpler manner.

[0062] Embodiment 7 The seventh embodiment differs from the first to sixth embodiments in that in addition to generating advice information, generation of a reason for selecting the advice information is instructed. In the seventh embodiment, this difference will be explained, and explanation of the same points will be omitted. In the seventh embodiment, a case where a modification is made to the first embodiment will be described. However, modifications can also be made to the second to sixth embodiments.

[0063] ***Explanation of Operation*** The processing of the pharmacist work support system 100 according to the sixth embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 5. The processing from step S13 to step S16 differs from that of the first embodiment. (Step S13: Input processing) As in the first embodiment, the input unit 111 of the pharmacist work support device 10 inputs the input information as a prompt to the learning model 112. At this time, the input unit 111 writes an instruction to generate a reason for selecting the advice information in the instruction for generating the prompt.

[0064] (Step S14: Generation process) The learning model 112 of the pharmacist work support device 10 generates advice information for providing medication instruction based on the prompt input in step S13, and also generates a reason for selecting the generated advice information. (Step S15: Output process) The output unit 113 of the pharmacist work support device 10 acquires the advice information and the selection reason for providing medication instruction generated in step S14. Then, the output unit 113 transmits the acquired advice information and the selection reason for providing medication instruction to the pharmacy terminal 20.

[0065] (Step S16: Display processing) Display unit 213 of pharmacy terminal 20 acquires the advice information and the selection reason for providing medication instruction transmitted in step S15. Display unit 213 displays the acquired advice information and the selection reason for providing medication instruction on a display device connected to pharmacy terminal 20 via communication interface 24.

[0066] ***Effects of the Seventh Embodiment*** As described above, the pharmacist work support system 100 according to the seventh embodiment instructs the generation of reasons for selecting the advice information in addition to generating advice information. As a result, the learning model 112 generates reasons for selecting the advice information when generating the advice information. When an experienced pharmacist provides medication instructions, the learning model 112 determines the content of the instructions after understanding the reasons for selecting the content of the instructions. By generating reasons for selecting the advice information when generating the advice information, the learning model 112 is able to think in a similar way to an experienced pharmacist when providing medication instructions, making it possible to generate more appropriate advice information.

[0067] The pharmacist work support system 100 according to the seventh embodiment displays the reason for selecting the advice information together with the advice information. By referring to the selection reason, the pharmacist can easily determine the advice information to refer to.

[0068] When prioritizing advice information, it is useful to refer to the reasons for selecting the advice information. Therefore, by adding the functions of embodiment 7 to embodiment 6 and generating the reasons for selecting the advice information while prioritizing the advice information, it becomes possible to appropriately prioritize the advice information.

[0069] Embodiment 8 The eighth embodiment differs from the first to seventh embodiments in that in addition to generating advice information, it instructs the generation of an OAP in the SOAP medication history. In the eighth embodiment, this difference will be explained, and explanation of the same points will be omitted. In the eighth embodiment, a case where a modification is made to the first embodiment will be described. However, modifications can also be made to the second to seventh embodiments.

[0070] ***Explanation of Operation*** The processing of the pharmacist work support system 100 according to the sixth embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 5. The processing from step S13 to step S16 differs from that of the first embodiment. (Step S13: Input processing) As in the first embodiment, the input unit 111 of the pharmacist work support device 10 inputs the input information as a prompt to the learning model 112. At this time, the input unit 111 writes an instruction to generate an OAP for the SOAP medication history in the instruction form for generating the prompt.

[0071] (Step S14: Generation process) The learning model 112 of the pharmacist work support device 10 generates advice information for providing medication instruction based on the prompt input in step S13, and also generates an OAP for the SOAP medication history. (Step S15: Output process) The output unit 113 of the pharmacist work support device 10 acquires the advice information for providing medication instruction and the OAP of the SOAP medication history generated in step S14. Then, the output unit 113 transmits the acquired advice information for providing medication instruction and the OAP of the SOAP medication history to the pharmacy terminal 20.

[0072] (Step S16: Display processing) Display unit 213 of pharmacy terminal 20 acquires the advice information for providing medication instruction and the OAP of the SOAP medication history transmitted in step S15. Display unit 213 displays the acquired advice information for providing medication instruction and the OAP of the SOAP medication history on a display device connected to pharmacy terminal 20 via communication interface 24.

[0073] ***Effects of the eighth embodiment*** As described above, the pharmacist work support system 100 according to the seventh embodiment instructs the generation of an OAP of a SOAP medication history in addition to the generation of advice information. As a result, the learning model 112 generates an OAP of a SOAP medication history when generating advice information. When an experienced pharmacist provides medication instructions, the content of the instructions is determined after considering what the OAP of the SOAP medication history will be. By generating an OAP of a SOAP medication history when generating advice information, the learning model 112 is able to think in a similar way to an experienced pharmacist when providing medication instructions, making it possible to generate more appropriate advice information.

[0074] Here, when an experienced pharmacist provides medication instructions, he or she considers what the OAP of the SOAP medication history will be, imagines the reasons for selecting the instruction content, and then decides on the instruction content. Therefore, it is more desirable to add the functions of embodiment 8 to embodiment 7, so that in addition to generating advice information, the system instructs the reasons for selecting the advice information and the generation of the OAP of the SOAP medication history. This allows the system to think more similarly to how an experienced pharmacist would when providing medication instructions, making it possible to generate more appropriate advice information.

[0075] The pharmacist work support system 100 according to the eighth embodiment displays the OAP of the SOAP medication history together with advice information. By referring to the OAP, the pharmacist can provide medication instructions while imagining the items to be written in the OAP of the SOAP medication history.

[0076] When prioritizing advice information, it is useful to refer to the OAP of the SOAP medication history. Therefore, by adding the functions of the eighth embodiment to the sixth embodiment and generating the OAP of the SOAP medication history while prioritizing the advice information, it becomes possible to appropriately prioritize the advice information.

[0077] ***Other Configurations*** <Variation 4> When generating advice information, it is considered that pharmacists place importance on P in the OAP. Therefore, the input unit 111 may enter an instruction to generate only P in the SOAP medication history in the instruction for generating the prompt. It is also considered that pharmacists place importance on A after P. Therefore, the input unit 111 may enter an instruction to generate only AP from the SOAP medication history in the instruction form for generating the prompt.

[0078] The processor 11, memory 12, storage 13, and electronic circuit 15 are collectively referred to as a processing circuit. In other words, the functions of the respective functional components are realized by the processing circuit.

[0079] <Example prompt> Examples of prompts are described with reference to Figures 12 through 19. Figures 12 to 14 show the system prompt. The system prompt defines Role, Status, Goal, Variables, Constraints, OutputFormat, and keys. Role, Status, and Goal correspond to the above-mentioned instruction. Constraints correspond to the above-mentioned constraints. OutputFormat is information that determines the output format. Keys is a term definition. Here, the Goal is instructed to generate questions to be asked in medication guidance corresponding to the content described in embodiment 1, as well as the reason for generation (reason for selection) corresponding to the content described in embodiment 7, and a SOAP medication history corresponding to the content described in embodiment 8. Note that here, the generation of S in the SOAP medication history is also instructed, but since the hearing has not yet taken place, it is also possible to instruct the generation of only the OAP, excluding S.

[0080] 15 to 19 show user prompts. A user prompt is information that defines a patient and corresponds to the input in a system prompt. The user prompt defines the gender and age extracted from the patient's personal information, the symptoms (current illness name) extracted from the medical questionnaire information, and the name and amount of the drug extracted from the prescription information. The user prompt also defines information contained in the drug's package insert (such as precautions, side effect information, and efficacy).

[0081] An example of a response obtained from the learning model 112 will be described with reference to Figures 20 to 22. The response includes an example of a SOAP medication history entry, the reason for the generated information, and advice information (interview). Note that Figures 15 to 19 show only information about a newly prescribed atorvastatin tablet 5 mg among the prescribed medications, but in reality, it is assumed that the prescription of Zetia tablets 10 mg and Lotriga granular capsules 2 g has been continued and the prescription of Livalo tablets 2 mg has been discontinued. Normally, the fact that the prescription of Zetia tablets 10 mg and Lotriga granular capsules 2 g has been continued and the prescription of Livalo tablets 2 mg has been discontinued would also be stated in the user prompt.

[0082] Embodiment 9 The ninth embodiment differs from the first to eighth embodiments in that, instead of inputting the information contained in the package insert into the learning model 112, guidance information corresponding to the patient obtained from a database 40 that stores guidance information generated using the information contained in the package insert is input into the learning model 112. In other words, the ninth embodiment differs from the first to eighth embodiments in that RAG is used to generate input to the learning model 112 for the information contained in the package insert. RAG stands for Retrieval-Augmented Generation. In the ninth embodiment, this difference will be explained, and explanations of the same points will be omitted. In the ninth embodiment, a case where a modification is made to the first embodiment will be described. However, modifications can also be made to the second to eighth embodiments.

[0083] ***Configuration Description*** The configuration of a pharmacist work support system 100 according to the ninth embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 1 in that it includes a database 40. The pharmacist work support device 10 is connected to the database 40 via a network 90. ​​The database 40 stores guidance information generated using at least the information on precautions and side effects contained in the package inserts of multiple drugs.

[0084] The configuration of a pharmacist work support device 10 according to the ninth embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. Pharmacist work support device 10 differs from pharmacist work support device 10 shown in FIG. 2 in that it includes search unit 116 as a functional component.

[0085] ***Explanation of Operation*** Referring to FIG. 25, the processing of the pharmacist work support system 100 according to the ninth embodiment will be described. The processes in steps S21 and S22 are the same as those in steps S11 and S12 in Fig. 5. The processes in steps S25 to S27 are the same as those in steps S14 to S16 in Fig. 5.

[0086] (Step S23: Search process) The search unit 116 of the pharmacist work support device 10 extracts guidance information corresponding to the patient from the database 40. Specifically, the search unit 116 extracts guidance information about drugs prescribed to patients and related to patient personal information indicating patient attributes from the database 40. That is, the search unit 116 extracts guidance information corresponding to the patient from the database 40 using information about the prescribed drugs, the patient personal information, and the medical questionnaire information included in the input information. Here, the search unit 116 may perform a keyword search using keywords included in the patient's personal information and search for related guidance information based on a match of character strings, etc. Alternatively, the search unit 116 may perform a vector search based on the patient's personal information to search for related guidance information. Alternatively, the search unit 116 may perform a hybrid search that combines a keyword search and a vector search to search for related guidance information. Alternatively, the search unit 116 may use other search methods to search for related guidance information. For example, the search unit 116 may identify guidance information about a drug prescribed to a patient by a drug-based keyword search, and then perform a vector search based on the patient's personal information to extract guidance information related to the patient's personal information from the guidance information about the identified drug. The search unit 116 may be configured by the RAG described above.

[0087] (Step S24: Input processing) The input unit 111 of the pharmacist work support device 10 inputs the input information transmitted in step S22 and the guidance information extracted in step S23 as prompts to the learning model 112. In the first embodiment, the information contained in the attached document was input as a prompt to the learning model 112. However, here, the information contained in the attached document is not input as a prompt, and instead the guidance information extracted from the database 40 is input as a prompt to the learning model 112. At this time, in addition to the input information and instruction information, the input unit 111 adds an order indicating assumptions and instructions and constraints to the prompt, similar to step S13 in Fig. 5. Here, the input unit 111 writes in the order the assumption that the person is a pharmacist and the instruction to generate advice information for providing medication instruction. The input unit 111 writes in the constraints how to write the advice information, the amount to write, etc. The advice information for providing medication instruction is information indicating what kind of medication instruction should be given to the patient.

[0088] As a result, advice information for providing medication instruction to a patient is generated by the learning model 112 in response to the input information and instruction information input by the input unit 111.

[0089] For example, assume that input information such as that shown in Figures 26 and 27 is obtained in the processing of step S22. The input information includes medical questionnaire information, patient personal information, information on prescribed medications, information on medication instructions given in the past, etc. Note that while Figures 26 and 27 only indicate that drug A has been newly prescribed, it is assumed that the input information also indicates that other prescribed medication information includes continued prescriptions of drugs B and C, and that the prescription of drug D has been discontinued. In the process of step S23, guidance information corresponding to the patient is extracted from the database 40 based on the information contained in this input information. As a result, guidance information such as that shown in FIG. 28 is obtained, for example. In the process of step S24, a prompt including the input information obtained in the process of step S22 and the guidance information obtained in the process of step S23 is input to the learning model 112 to generate advice information. As a result, advice information such as that shown in FIGS. 29 and 30 is obtained.

[0090] Here, in the pharmacist work support device 10 according to the first embodiment, it is necessary to input information from the package insert of the drug as shown in FIG. 31 as a prompt into the learning model 112. Note that FIG. 31 shows an excerpt of the information from the package insert for drug A. In reality, the information from the package insert for drug A alone contains more information than is shown in FIG. 31. Then, it is necessary to input information from the package inserts for not only drug A but also other drugs B, C, and D as prompts into the learning model 112. Therefore, in the pharmacist work support device 10 according to the first embodiment, it is necessary to input more information into the learning model 112 than in the pharmacist work support device 10 according to the second embodiment.

[0091] ***Effects of the 9th embodiment*** As described above, the pharmacist work support system 100 according to the ninth embodiment inputs guidance information corresponding to the patient extracted from the database 40 into the learning model 112, instead of package insert information. That is, in the first embodiment, the pharmacist work support system 100 inputs package insert information for each drug prescribed to the patient into the learning model 112. In contrast, the pharmacist work support system 100 according to the ninth embodiment identifies guidance information for the drug prescribed to the patient that is related to the patient's personal information indicating the patient's attributes, and inputs the guidance information into the learning model 112. This makes it possible to reduce the amount of information input to the learning model 112. By reducing the amount of information input to the learning model 112, it is possible to shorten the time it takes to obtain a response from the learning model 112. Furthermore, with the generation AI, costs may be incurred depending on the amount of information input. Therefore, by reducing the amount of information input to the learning model 112, it is possible to reduce the costs associated with operating the pharmacist work support system 100.

[0092] In addition, the pharmacist work support system 100 of embodiment 9 can improve the accuracy of the advice information generated by the learning model 112 by identifying guidance information related to patient personal information and inputting the guidance information into the learning model 112. The pharmacist work support system 100 according to the first embodiment inputs the patient's personal information into the learning model 112 along with information on the package insert of the prescribed drug. As a result, the learning model 112 has a high degree of freedom in generating advice information, and the generation of advice information is heavily dependent on the learning model 112. As a result, there is a risk that the advice information will not be generated accurately. In contrast, the pharmacist work support system 100 according to the ninth embodiment inputs guidance information related to the patient's personal information into the learning model 112, thereby reducing the dependency on the learning model 112. Therefore, compared to the pharmacist work support system 100 according to the first embodiment, the possibility of obtaining the intended advice information can be increased.

[0093] ***Other Configurations*** <Variation 5> In the ninth embodiment, the database 40 stores guidance information generated using at least the information on precautions and side effects included in the package inserts of a plurality of drugs. The database 40 may store the guidance information organized based on problems. A problem is an issue that a patient has. When searching the database 40, the search unit 116 searches for the patient's problem based on the patient's personal information, etc., making it possible to identify guidance information related to the patient's personal information. This makes it possible to identify appropriate guidance information and input the appropriate guidance information into the learning model 112. As a result, it becomes possible to obtain appropriate advice information.

[0094] <Variation 6> In the ninth embodiment, the guidance information is generated using at least the information on precautions and side effects included in the package inserts of the plurality of drugs. The guidance information may be generated using statistical information indicating the timing of onset of side effects for the drugs. In other words, the guidance information may include not only information generated using the information included in the package inserts of the plurality of drugs, but also information generated using statistical information indicating the timing of onset of side effects for the drugs.

[0095] <Variation 7> In the ninth embodiment, the input unit 111 inputs the input information transmitted in step S22 and the guidance information extracted in step S23 as prompts to the learning model 112. The input unit 111 may input information other than the guidance information regarding other patients described in the second and subsequent embodiments to the learning model 112. Specifically, the input unit 111 may input, as prompts, to the learning model 112, prescription difference information indicating the difference between the content of the current prescription and the content of the previous prescription described in the second embodiment, information indicating the content of medication guidance previously given to the patient described in the third embodiment, information indicating that a hearing has not been conducted described in the fourth embodiment, and the like.

[0096] At this time, the input unit 111 may instruct to generate predetermined advice information when it is identified from other information regardless of the content of the guidance information. The predetermined advice information is, for example, advice information regarding at least one of matters handed over at the time of the previous medication guidance, the results of an audit check of the prescription content, guidance regarding high-risk drugs, and point-addition recommendation information. The advice information regarding the results of the audit check of the prescription content is, for example, advice information regarding contraindications, triple whammy, etc. The advice information regarding point-addition recommendation information is advice information regarding a specific drug management guidance surcharge, an infant formulation surcharge, etc. If the decision on whether to generate advice information that you want to be sure to output is left to the learning model 112, it may happen that the instruction information takes priority and the information is not generated even when it should be generated. Therefore, for advice information that you want to be sure to output, it is effective to instruct that it be generated if it is identified from other information, even if it is not included in the instruction information. In this way, by having the learning model 112 generate advice information not only from the instruction information obtained from the database 40 but also from other information, it becomes possible to generate more appropriate advice information.

[0097] Here, it is important to distinguish which information to store as guidance information in database 40, and which information to input directly into learning model 112, guidance information related to patient personal information, etc. In other words, it is not appropriate to register guidance information based on all information in database 40. It is effective to register the information on the package insert described in embodiment 9 and the statistical information on the timing of side effect onset described in variant example 6 as guidance information in database 40, input the retrieved guidance information into learning model 112, and input the other information directly into learning model 112. This allows advice information to be generated appropriately.

[0098] <Variation 8> There may be cases where guidance information is not extracted in step S23. That is, depending on the settings of the database 40, guidance information may not be extracted appropriately. When guidance information is not extracted in this way, the input unit 111 may input a prompt including information contained in the package insert of the drug included in the input information to the learning model 112 in step S24, as in the first embodiment. This makes it possible to generate advice information using information contained in the package insert of the drug even in exceptional cases.

[0099] <Variation 9> In the first embodiment, each functional component is realized by software. However, as a modification 9, each functional component may be realized by hardware. The differences between this modification 9 and the above embodiments will be described below.

[0100] When each functional component is realized by hardware, the pharmacist work support device 10 includes an electronic circuit 15 instead of the processor 11, the memory 12, and the storage 13. The electronic circuit 15 is a dedicated circuit for realizing the functions of each functional component, the memory 12, and the storage 13.

[0101] The electronic circuit 15 may be a single circuit, a composite circuit, a programmed processor, a parallel programmed processor, a logic IC, a GA, an ASIC, or an FPGA. GA stands for Gate Array. ASIC stands for Application Specific Integrated Circuit. FPGA stands for Field-Programmable Gate Array. Each functional component may be realized by one electronic circuit 15, or each functional component may be realized by distributing it among a plurality of electronic circuits 15.

[0102] <Modification 10> As a tenth modification, some of the functional components may be realized by hardware, and other functional components may be realized by software.
