The invention belongs to the technical field of medical services, and particularly discloses a
pharmacy dispensing path optimization method and
system based on prescription similarity, and the method comprises the steps: obtaining a
drug name set of a plurality of to-be-dispensed prescriptions, carrying out the single-prescription dispensing path planning, carrying out the comprehensive calculation of the prescription similarity and path similarity of each prescription, and obtaining the dispensing path of each prescription; the prescriptions with the comprehensive similarity meeting the set conditions are combined into batch tasks for overall path optimization, batch dispensing is achieved, repeated walking of a
pharmacist among
medicine cabinets is reduced, the working intensity of the
pharmacist is reduced, the dispensing efficiency can be effectively improved, and through dispensing path optimization of the batch tasks, the dispensing efficiency is improved. The average dosage time of a single prescription is shortened, so that the overall
waiting time of a patient is reduced. The
system can adapt to different-scale
pharmacy layouts, the dispensing path can be dynamically adjusted according to changes of
medicine storage positions, and the
system has wide applicability.
