Automatic dispensing method and system

Abstract

The invention discloses an automatic dispensing method. The automatic dispensing method comprises the following steps that 1, binding characteristic information of a medicine with a temporary storagegroove of a temporary storage cabinet is carried out; 2, a standard drug code on a medicine packaging box is exposed; 3, the medicine is selected and conveyed through a conveying belt, a scanning recognition device obtains the standard drug code of the medicine packaging box, the temporary storage groove of the medicine is inquired through the standard drug code of the medicine; 4, a medicine taking machine obtains the basic information of a current patient, queries the prescription list of the patient, settling the prescription list on the medicine taking machine is carried out, the prescription list is pushed to a control system of an automatic dispensing device after settlement is completed; 5, the control system obtains the current prescription list according to a first-in first-out (FIFO) queue scheduling algorithm, the dispensing device obtains the corresponding medicines from the temporary storage groove one by one according to the medicine list of the prescription list and sends the medicines to a cavity of the medicine taking machine for storage; and 6, automatically checking and confirming the prescription list of the current patient and the medicine list in the cavity ofthe medicine taking machine by the medicine taking machine are carried out. The invention further discloses a system for implementing the medicine dispensing method.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method and system for automatically dispensing medicine. Background technique [0002] As the country further deepens the reform of the medical and health system, the zero-mark-up rate of drugs has been implemented in medical institutions at all levels in most regions. The realization of automatic drug distribution is a key task that medical institutions at all levels are currently actively exploring. [0003] At present, some medical institutions are already using automatic dispensing machines to realize the automatic loading of medicines and the dispensing of medicines according to prescriptions, but before taking medicines, patients or their family members need to swipe the prescription barcode to sign in and send the prescription information to the automatic Dispensing machine, and each dispensing window also needs to be equipped with corresponding staff to check the patient's identity and manually distribute medicines. ...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] At present, some medical institutions are already using automatic dispensing machines to realize the automatic loading of medicines and the dispensing of medicines according to prescriptions, but before taking medicines, patients or their family members need to swipe the prescription barcode to sign in and send the prescription information to the automatic Dispensing machine, and each dispensing window also needs to be equipped with corresponding staff to check the patient's identity and manually distribute medicines

Judging from the dispensing of medicines in the manual window, the automatic dispensing machine only realizes semi-automatic dispensing of medicines, and the use of automatic dispensing machines in pharmacies does not substantially reduce the investment in human resources.

[0004] The vast majority of hospitals basically use manual methods to dispense medicines according to prescriptions. Manual methods are prone to errors in picking up medicines and the efficiency of picking up medicines is relatively low; using robotic arms to dispense medicines is likely to cause mechanical failures, and the efficiency is relatively low. When there are many prescriptions, it is easy to cause patients to wait for a long time; the existing automatic medicine dispensing machine still needs to arrange staff to distribute medicines at the window, which does not fundamentally reduce the investment of staff; the prescription does not use any algorithm, which is easy to cause Queue congestion and high priority prescription orders cannot be processed in time, and the flexibility is not enough
