Abstract

A drug information processing device includes: a connection unit connecting via a global network to a data center, in which prescription on prescriptions in hospitals and dispensing information on dispensing in pharmacies are stored as a database in a correlated manner; an acquisition unit acquiring a unique identification information; a sending unit sending prescription information or dispensing information to be correlated to the database in response to acquisition of the identification information with the identification information used as a requirement for accessing and registration in the global network; a receiving unit receiving the prescription and dispensing information with the identification information used as a requirement for accessing and retrieving from the global network; and a providing unit providing information based on the prescription information and the dispensing information received by the receiving unit.

Claims

1. A drug information processing device comprising:

a connection unit that connects via a global network to a data center, in which prescription information on prescriptions in hospitals and dispensing information on dispensing in pharmacies are stored as a database in a correlated manner;

an acquisition unit that acquires a unique identification information;

a sending unit that sends prescription information or dispensing information that is to be correlated to the database of the data center connected to the global network in response to acquisition of the identification information by the acquisition unit with the identification information used as a requirement for accessing and registration in the global network;

a receiving unit that receives the prescription information and the dispensing information that is correlated to the database in response to acquisition of the identification information by the acquisition unit with the identification information used as a requirement for accessing and retrieving from the global network; and

a providing unit that provides information based on the prescription information and the dispensing information received by the receiving unit.

2. The drug information processing device according to claim 1, wherein the acquisition unit acquires the identification information from a portable storage medium.

3. The drug information processing device according to claim 2, wherein the sending unit sends the prescription information to the data center in response to acquisition of the identification information by the acquisition unit at a predetermined time after the prescription information is input via a predetermined input unit.

4. The drug information processing device according to claim 2,

wherein the prescription information includes intention information that represents the individual intentions of both a physician and a patient, and

wherein the providing unit provides all selection choices correlated to a predetermined selection candidate based on the prescription information and the dispensing information when the intention information pieces are identical.

5. A drug information processing method comprising the steps of:

connecting via a global network to a data center, in which prescription information on prescriptions in hospitals and dispensing information on dispensing in pharmacies are stored as a database in a correlated manner;

acquiring a unique identification information;

sending prescription information or dispensing information that is to be correlated to the database of the data center connected to the global network in response to acquisition of the identification information in the acquiring step with the identification information used as a requirement for accessing and registration in the global network;

receiving the prescription information and the dispensing information that is correlated to the database in response to acquisition of the identification information in the acquiring step with the identification information used as a requirement for accessing and retrieving from the global network; and

providing information based on the prescription information and the dispensing information received in the receiving step.
