Background technique

With the rapid development of society and modern Chinese medicine science, traditional boiled Chinese medicines have been unable to meet and adapt to people's ever-accelerating pace of life. More and more medical staff and patients are choosing to use Chinese medicine formula granules, commonly known as Non-decoction Chinese medicine is a way of taking Chinese medicine. Each finished Chinese medicine that has been prepared into granules is adjusted and combined according to the proportion requirements of the prescription to form a Chinese medicine decoction that the patient can directly take.

In order to improve the efficiency of dispensing traditional Chinese medicine granules, major hospitals and pharmacies currently usually use dispensing machines to automatically dispense traditional Chinese medicine granules according to prescriptions. During the dispensing process, each granulated traditional Chinese medicine is usually stored in standardized containers such as medicine bottles in advance. The medicine bottles are placed on the medicine cabinet, and the mouth of the bottle is equipped with an adjustable switch meter to control the dosage of the medicine. . When dispensing medicine, you first need to remove the medicine bottles storing each designated medicine from the medicine cabinet and place them on the dispensing station of the medicine dispensing machine according to the prescription requirements. After the placement of the medicine bottles is completed, the dispensing machine reads the position information of each medicine bottle station and starts the medicine dispensing operation. During the process of dispensing medicine, a medicine box containing medicine is placed under each dispensing station. All medicine boxes are fixedly placed on the medicine box tray. The medicine box tray can move each medicine box in different positions through rotation or linear displacement. under the dispensing station to receive and hold different medicines. When actually dispensing medicine, the dispensing machine calculates the volume of Chinese medicine particles required for each medicine based on the ratio of the prescription weight of each medicine to its theoretical density value, and uses the volume of the medicine as the theoretical medicine dosage value by controlling the opening and closing of the meter. The medicine stored in the medicine bottle is released into the medicine box according to the measured value. After each medicine box contains all the prescribed medicines, the medicine box tray will transfer the medicine box to the sealing station for sealing to complete the dispensing of the prescription Chinese medicine granules.

The existing traditional Chinese medicine granule dispensing machine requires the pharmacy operator to remove the medicine specified by the previous prescription that has been placed at the dispensing station and put it back into the medicine cabinet before each medicine is dispensed, and then remove it from the medicine cabinet according to the current prescription. The corresponding medicine bottles are placed on the dispensing station of the dispensing machine in a specific order or in other preset designated ways, so that each prescription is processed in turn. Every time a medicine bottle is placed or removed, it is also necessary to place the medicine bottle on the weighing platform and weigh it, so that the actual dosage weight of each medicine can be monitored, and the error between the actual dosage and the theoretical dosage can be measured in a timely manner. Correct the theoretical density value of drugs to improve the accuracy of drug dosage.

It should be noted that those of ordinary skill in the art are aware of the basic functions and workflow of conventional traditional Chinese medicine granule dispensing systems. If necessary, the present invention will not repeat them here.

As shown in Figure 6, the traditional Chinese medicine granule dispensing method includes:

S11. Obtain the medicines required for the first prescription according to the first prescription and place them on the dispensing station of the dispensing system. At the same time, place a medicine box or medicine bag for carrying medicines according to the first prescription.

Dispensing traditional Chinese medicine granules requires placing multi-flavored granulated traditional Chinese medicines in containers such as medicine boxes or bags and dispensing them to patients according to the requirements of the prescription. Therefore, it is first necessary to obtain all the required drugs according to the prescription requirements, and place each drug at the drug dispensing station or dispensing station of the traditional Chinese medicine granule dispensing system. In some embodiments of the invention, pharmaceuticals are typically stored in vials or bags adapted to the dispensing system. When actually dispensing medicine, the medicine box or medicine bag will pass through each medicine dispensing station in turn. The dispensing system can release the medicine in the medicine bottle or medicine bag placed in the corresponding medicine dispensing station to the medicine container used to carry the medicine according to the prescribed dosage requirements. box or medicine bag.

In other embodiments, in order to improve the overall efficiency of drug dispensing, the placement of the medicine box or medicine bag is synchronized with the placement of the medicines, so that the dispensing operation can be started immediately after the placement of each medicine, and the dispensing station is in a running state of dispensing medicine. . Among them, the number of medicine boxes or medicine bags required is determined according to the number of traditional Chinese medicines required by the prescription and the specifications of the medicine boxes or medicine bags.

S12. After the placement of the medicines required for the first prescription is completed, monitor in real time whether there is an idle dispensing station. If there is an idle dispensing station, obtain the medicines required for the next prescription according to the next prescription and place them in the place. On the idle dispensing stations; if all the dispensing stations have placed drugs, then the drugs that have been dispensed will be replaced with the drugs required for the next prescription according to the preset strategy; the drugs required for the next prescription Excludes medicines that have been placed at the dispensing station.

Different from the existing method of dispensing pharmaceutical particles in a single prescription flow, the dispensing method proposed by the present invention can realize parallel flow dispensing of medicines in multiple prescriptions. Specifically, the dispensing method includes immediately starting the placement of medicines for the next prescription after the first prescription or the prescription currently being placed is completed. By analogy, the dispensing system places medicines continuously and uninterruptedly according to prescription requirements in a streamlined manner. Since each medicine can be dispensed immediately after being placed at the dispensing station, the dispensing system can continuously process new prescriptions in a streamlined manner while processing the dispensing of multiple prescriptions at the same time, realizing streamlined dispensing of multiple prescriptions. .

Since prescriptions for different diseases with the same dialectics usually use some of the same drugs, and some of the drugs themselves are commonly used drugs, some of the drugs required for the new prescription may have been placed at the dispensing station. Therefore, the dispensing system only It is necessary to place the medicines in the new prescription that are not placed in the dispensing station. On this basis, further, when placing new prescription drugs, if there is an idle dispensing station where no drugs are placed, just obtain the required drugs directly and place them in the idle dispensing station; if there is no idle dispensing station, Or when the free dispensing station is not enough to place all the required drugs for a new prescription, some of the drugs that have been dispensed need to be replaced. Under normal circumstances, priority is given to replacing uncommonly used drugs to improve overall dispensing efficiency.

In some embodiments, unprocessed prescriptions can be dispensed in sequence; in other embodiments, prescriptions with the largest number of the same drugs that have been placed at the dispensing station are prioritized to shorten the preparation of new prescriptions. The time required to replace medicines.

Common Chinese medicine granule prescriptions generally include 10-20 Chinese medicines. In order to achieve parallel flow-through drug dispensing of multiple prescriptions and improve dispensing efficiency, in some embodiments, the dispensing system has no less than 10 dispensing stations, which can meet the space requirements. In this case, the greater the number of dispensing stations, the greater the number of prescriptions that can be processed in parallel. In other embodiments of the present invention, the number of dispensing stations is set to 30, which can process the dispensing of 5-6 prescriptions at the same time, but the present invention is not limited to this.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the dispensing method may further include:

S13. Seal the medicine box or medicine bag that has completed all medicine dispensing, and send it to the medicine collection point of the medicine dispensing system.

At any time during the drug dispensing process, the dispensing system will transfer the medicine box or medicine bag that has completed all medicine dispensing corresponding to the prescription to the sealing station for sealing processing. The sealed medicine box or medicine bag will be correspondingly transferred to the medicine collection station. For collection by medical staff or system operators.

Furthermore, in order to realize parallel flow-through medicine dispensing of multiple prescriptions, in any embodiment of the dispensing method provided by the present invention, as soon as the required medicine is placed at the dispensing station, the dispensing operation according to the prescription requirements is immediately started.

Preferably, the dispensing method further includes: obtaining the actual remaining dose of the drug when the drug is placed in or removed from the dispensing station.

Traditional Chinese medicine granule dispensing is to calculate the required drug volume through the ratio of the prescription weight of each traditional Chinese medicine granule to its theoretical density value, and use the drug volume as the theoretical dosage value for dispensing. However, due to unavoidable errors in the dispensing system and the fact that the theoretical density of the drug may change unpredictably due to varying degrees of moisture absorption or vibration during transportation or use, errors in the metering value of the drug are caused, reducing the accuracy of the drug. , long-term accumulated errors will also cause serious problems such as inventory shortage and inventory expansion. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor the actual dosage weight of each drug and promptly correct the theoretical density value of the drug based on the error between the actual dosage and the theoretical dosage. and related system parameters to improve the accuracy of drug dispensing. In embodiments of the present invention, the actual remaining dose of the medicine can be obtained through automatic or manual weighing.

Furthermore, another embodiment of the present invention also provides a fully automatic multi-station traditional Chinese medicine granule dispensing method. The basic functions and work flow of the conventional traditional Chinese medicine granule dispensing system known to those of ordinary skill in the art, as well as the description and explanation of the same content have been made in the present invention. If necessary, the present invention will not repeat them here.

Referring to Figure 7, the adjustment method includes:

S21. Obtain the required drugs according to the current prescription and place them on the dispensing station of the dispensing system in sequence. At the same time, place the medicine box or bag for carrying the medicine according to the current prescription, and place the medicine at the place where the current prescription is obtained and placed. When medicines are needed, real-time monitoring is carried out to see if there are free dispensing stations where medicines can be placed.

The number of dispensing and dispensing stations in the dispensing system needs to be reasonably determined based on actual application needs. Generally speaking, the number of dispensing stations should meet the needs of most conventional prescriptions for drug types as much as possible. However, since there may be large differences in the way and quantity of drugs used in each traditional Chinese medicine prescription, the dispensing station is difficult to meet the needs of all prescriptions, and there may be situations where the dispensing system cannot place all the drugs required for a single prescription. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor in real time whether there is a dispensing station for placing drugs when placing drugs.

S22. If there is an idle dispensing station, continue to obtain and place the next required medicine according to the current prescription; if all the dispensing stations have placed medicines, then according to the preset strategy, the completed medicines at the dispensing station will be placed. The dispensed medicine is replaced with the next required medicine.

As described in other embodiments of the present invention, since prescriptions for different diseases with the same syndrome usually use some of the same drugs, and some of the drugs themselves are commonly used drugs, under normal circumstances, priority is given to replacing unusual drugs that have been prepared. , in order to improve the overall deployment efficiency of the system.

Those of ordinary skill in the art understand that some or all of the technical solutions provided by the present invention can be implemented through computer program instructions and/or corresponding hardware facilities.
