Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to a method for managing objects as well as a device for its implementation.
  • the invention relates to a method for monitoring and automated management of objects, in particular drugs in a hospital environment.
  • the supply of local pharmacies ie decentralized pharmacies in each hospital service, is usually done at regular intervals, for example, every day or every two days following an inspection. operated in these pharmacies where missing drugs are listed, noted and ordered at the hospital's central pharmacy.
  • a member of the nursing staff may be required, in some cases, to to move without necessity, no restocking being necessary after verification.
  • narcotics and anesthetic products The management of narcotics and anesthetic products deserves special attention. Indeed, these drugs are a class whose control of transit through local pharmacies must be organized scrupulously. However, these checks often prove to be too weak or so complex that they cause loss of time.
  • this system should ensure the automation not only of the monitoring of the stock of drugs in the local pharmacies but also the registration of the withdrawal of drugs from these pharmacies for a patient, the authorization of limited access to secure drugs such as narcotics and the recording of drug bills in the hospital's billing device.
  • the present invention overcomes the drawbacks of the state of the art by proposing a method of monitoring and automatic management of objects which is simple, rational and flexible application particularly for the management and automatic monitoring of drugs in hospitals, especially for billing, drugs actually administered to a patient.
  • the method of the type indicated above is characterized in that it consists, from a network of n individual dwellings containing a set of n objects, to transmit to at least one of these objects, one or more movements selected from extractions of said object out of its housing and re-introductions of this object in an empty housing among the n housing network, to automatically detect the movement made and to exploit this detection according to computer processes.
  • the above method can be applied in various fields where there is the obligation to automatically record movements of objects among a stock thereof for the management of this stock. However, in some applications, it is necessary in addition to knowing the individual who made this movement of objects and / or in the name of what physical or moral person this movement was made.
  • the method according to the invention makes it possible in particular by implementing computer processes appropriate for the detection of the movement in question, to monitor and manage a stock of objects, in particular the monitoring of the stock of drugs in the various pharmacies established within the hospital, the registration of the drugs administered in the hospital. a patient with a view for example of their automatic billing to the latter or the registration of hospital staff members, doctors or nurses, who carried out given medication movements.
  • the above device for the management of objects essentially relies on a means of automatic, electronic and instantaneous detection of movement of objects with respect to a housing containing or likely to contain this object, this system being managed by computer software.
  • This detection means can be advantageously used to record withdrawals of pharmaceutical products out of dwellings in which they are initially arranged or, as necessary, to record re-introductions of these products in dwellings intended initially to contain them.
  • each detection means forming part of the network of n housings comprises a spring system, usually arranged in a support block, and a pressure sensor.
  • This spring system which essentially constitutes the housing accommodating or intended to receive the object, makes it possible to transform the force necessary for the insertion of this object into this housing into a force perpendicular to a pressure sensor and, by even there, in a pressure on this one.
  • This pressure is also independent of the dimensions of the object housed or to accommodate in particular its diameter if it is a cylindrical object.
  • this spring system itself comprises two symmetrical lamellae usually molded from a thermoplastic material such as a polyamide.
  • These slats are each formed of two wings, an upper wing and a lower wing hinged together and each forming at rest an obtuse angle.
  • these slats are positioned back to back at their hinge so that the obtuse angles in question are opposed by their top.
  • the two upper wings are configured to form together the housing for receiving the object while the lower wings are interconnected by a spring wire which cooperates with a push button capable of moving vertically, that is to say - say perpendicular to a sensor, until it comes into contact with it or free from it.
  • the spring system thus formed is secured to a support usually a support block in which it is arranged to be fixed preferably removably.
  • this block is formed of four longitudinal walls joined by their longitudinal edges thus delimiting a volume devoid of transverse walls of base and vertex.
  • this volume is a tubular portion parallel to these walls and having at least one longitudinal groove, usually two grooves.
  • This tubular portion is secured to the walls via arms rigid so that these grooves can cooperate by sliding with longitudinal reliefs lining the outer wall of the push button.
  • the opposite upper edges of two of these transverse walls are configured to participate in fixing the spring system within this volume.
  • This attachment is advantageously effected by means of the upper wings of this system and more particularly the upper edges thereof so that the spacing of these upper wings remains constant whether an object is present or not in the housing that they form.
  • these wings are secured to the walls in question by conventional means, for example by means of tenons.
  • These tenons derived from the extension of the two upper edges of the upper flanges, cooperate with orifices formed in two opposite walls of the support block or, preferably, with notches formed in the edges of these two opposite walls.
  • the support of the spring system preferably the support block, is itself secured to a support plate of the pressure sensor so that it is positioned in the extension of the displacement of the push button.
  • This attachment which is preferably removable, can be made by any appropriate known means, in particular by means of hooks coming from the lower edges of the support block, these cooperating, by engagement, with orifices formed in the pressure sensor support plate. .
  • This pressure sensor advantageously corresponds to a device that converts pressure, weight and force into a measurable electrical resistance.
  • the value of this resistance, as well as its sensitivity, can be adapted, as required, by modifying the topology of the sensor and selecting the materials suitable for the specific application envisaged.
  • this sensor can be used in extreme conditions or special circumstances, for example in the presence of a low pressure and / or a low temperature or on the contrary high or mounting on difficult surfaces.
  • two adjacent walls of two detection means support blocks may be juxtaposed or even fused into a single wall common to these two support blocks.
  • the support plates of the pressure sensors of the detection means concerned are brought together in juxtaposition by their adjacent edges.
  • the support plates of two detection means whose two adjacent walls are fused are themselves merged by their adjacent edges.
  • the various support plates of the n pressure sensors of a network are, after juxtaposition between them, merged by their adjacent edges into a single support plate.
  • all the pressure sensors of the network of n housings is managed by an electronic card which performs the intermittent or, preferably, permanent scanning of these sensors.
  • This scanning thus makes it possible to detect the nature of movements possibly transmitted to the various objects distributed in the housing network, namely an introduction into an empty housing, reflecting the presence of an object in this housing, detected by the contacting with this pressure sensor and extraction out of a housing, translating the absence of object in this housing, detected by the release of a contact with this pressure sensor. This detection then generates motion information that is transmitted to the central computer processing unit for its exploitation as needed.
  • the automatic detection means described above can be used for the detection of movements of an object compatible with the dimensions of the housing intended to accommodate it. Moreover, this object will be of solid consistency and of sufficient rigidity to cause, when introduced into this housing or its withdrawal from it, respectively a pressure on the upper wings of the spring system or a release of this pressure.
  • bottles, vials, tubes, boxes or the like these being for example glass, metal, rigid plastic material, rigid cardboard or the like and containing for example liquids such as beverages, cosmetics, cleaning agents, cleaning products, crop protection products or other.
  • the objects intended for management are represented by drugs, that is to say pharmaceutical and / or veterinary products, possibly in packaging or by medical or surgical devices or apparatus arranged in a packaging if necessary.
  • the drugs in question may be in any solid, flexible, semi-solid, liquid pharmaceutical form or in the form of pressurized pharmaceutical preparations.
  • these different pharmaceutical forms can be chosen from cachet, tablet, soft capsule, dragee, capsule, chewing gum, granule, pill, oral powder, powder for injection, suppository, ovum, transdermal device, poultice, cream, plaster, gel, paste, ointment, eye drops, oral emulsion, otic drop, lotion, mousse, shampoo, syrup, oral or injectable solution, oral suspension, oral liquid, preparation for inhalation in the nebulizer, pressurized or powdered inhaler .
  • Each subgroup is connected to the central computer unit via a network, preferably wireless, for example of the Wi-Fi type.
  • the device for implementing the method according to the invention intended for the management of drugs in a hospital environment comprises interactive carts 1 incorporating one or more drawers provided with automatic detection means, or means ESD for drug detection, cabinets 2 with drawers containing EDD means, interactive terminals 3 and a central processing unit 4 (central server).

  • EDD means module can group three means of this type developed from three support blocks.
  • Figures 3 and 4 show such an assembly of three support blocks 12, 13, 14 configured as a modular support block. As can be seen, the three blocks in question are delimited each by walls 15, parallel in pairs while the adjacent walls of two contiguous blocks are fused together in walls 16.
  • this modular support block is obtained from a plastic material capable of ensuring very good rigidity to the assembly, for example acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS).

  • This modular support block is then juxtaposed with other similar blocks through their longitudinal walls whose upper edges are provided with hooks 17. These hooks serve as a support for the fixation of drug identification plates showing their names or arbitrary color codes for their designation.
  • This juxtaposition thus forms a series of modular support blocks.
  • Several series of such suites of modular blocks are thus developed and arranged in juxtaposition for the constitution of the network in its entirety.

These slats articulated respectively at 21, 21A, form, at rest, an obtuse angle, each of them comprising an upper flange respectively 22, 22A and a lower flange respectively 23, 23A.
  • the walls of the flanges 20, 20A located opposite one another each have a curvature such that the combination of these two curvatures forms a substantially conical volume equivalent to the housing 24 adapted to welcome a single drug.
