I was trying to procure the missing medical supplies. In addition, medical salesmen had to go to hospitals and take orders for missing medical supplies.

[0003]

In the conventional method, the salesman could not confirm the stock status of the hospital and could not grasp the detailed stock status at the store. Therefore, when an order is suddenly issued from a hospital, it is difficult to promptly respond to the delivery date of the ordered instrument or medical product. In addition, since hospitals often order shortage of medical supplies immediately before surgery, the delivery time of medical supplies is delayed due to stock status at dealers and the like, and there is a disadvantage that the operation schedule is affected.

In the conventional method, it is easy to forget to place an order on the hospital side, and it is considered effective to improve inventory management.

(Object of the Invention) The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned points, and an object of the present invention is to provide a medical product inventory management system capable of improving the occurrence of a shortage of medical products in a hospital and more appropriately managing the inventory. The purpose is to provide. It is another object of the present invention to provide a medical product inventory management system capable of checking hospital inventory and store inventory to enable smooth sales activities.

The apparatus includes a main body 6 having a built-in storage means such as a hard disk for storing medical product stock information and the like, a keyboard 7 for inputting medical product stock information and the like, and a display 8 for displaying stock information and the like.

Here, storage information such as a hard disk in the main body 6 of the selling point side device 2 stores the stock information of the medical products of the store, and stores the stock information of the medical products of the store. Abbreviations) are formed, and storage means such as a hard disk in the main body 6 of the hospital apparatus 3A or 3B includes:
A hospital medical supplies inventory management unit (hospital inventory management unit) is formed by storing the medical supplies inventory information of the hospital. Each main unit 6 has a built-in modem, and the point-of-sale device 2 and the hospital-side device 3A or 3B are connected online via a public line 4.

The salesman terminal 5 is composed of, for example, a notebook personal computer, and the notebook personal computer has a structure in which a main body, a keyboard, and a display are integrated. Also, this notebook type personal computer has a built-in modem, and the sales point side device 2 is connected via the public line 4.
And the hospital side device 3A or 3B.

As described above, the point-of-sale device 2 is a medical product in a store (a medical product in a storage facility for delivery to a hospital).
Has an inventory management function. In other words, the stock information of the medical supplies in the storage facility of the store is stored in the store stock management section of the sales point side device 2, and all the medical supplies or the designated optional goods are operated by the keyboard 7. The medical supplies inventory status can be displayed on the display 8 and confirmed.

The salesman terminal 5 is connected to the public line 4.
Is connected to the sales point side device 2 through the sales point side device 5 in the same manner as when the sales point side device 2 is operated.
By operating, the stock information of the medical supplies at the store can be displayed on the display of the salesman side terminal 5 and can be confirmed.

The hospital-side device 3A or 3B also has a medical product inventory management function at the hospital. That is, the stock information of the medical products in the hospital is stored in the hospital stock management unit of the hospital apparatus 3A or 3B, and the stock of all the medical products or the designated medical products is operated by the operation of the keyboard 7. The status can be displayed on the display 8 and checked.

In this embodiment, the point-of-sale device 2 is connected to the hospital-side device 3A or 3B via the public line 4 so that the inventory can be mutually confirmed and the hospital-side device 3A or 3B can be checked. The salesman side terminal 5 connected to 3B via the public line 4 can also check the stock information of the hospital.

As will be described later, the point-of-sale device 2 checks the stock status of the hospital, determines from the stock amount, etc., whether or not it is necessary to place an additional order due to, for example, a small number of stocks. Sends notification information to the hospital that it is desirable to order additional medical products that are deemed necessary, and determines whether the hospital plans to use the medical products. It is possible to place orders without delay for planned medical products.

In this case, the store side can easily and quickly select a desired hospital from a large number of hospitals involved in the sale and repair of medical supplies, and can easily access the stock management section of the hospital. On the hard disk of the sales point side device 2, a desired hospital is quickly searched and an easily accessible list is created. Note that the salesman side terminal 5 also has a similar list.

The procedure for creating the hospital list shown in FIG. 2 will be described first. When the sales point side device 2 is in the operating state and a hospital list creation item is selected on a menu screen (not shown), hospital list creation is started, and a state is required in which selection of the classification method in step S1 in FIG. 2 is required.

As the classification method, for example, a classification method such as alphabetical order, region, national public, private, hospital size, etc. is prepared. Then, a list of hospitals is created in alphabetical order, by region, by national public, private, etc. (steps S2a, S2b, S2c).

FIGS. 3A, 3B, and 3C show examples of hospital lists created in alphabetical order, by region, by national public, private, and the like. In addition, a list of hospitals may be created according to hospital size, and an example of a list of hospitals in this case is shown in FIG. When the list creation is completed and the hospital name is specified or selected as shown in step S3 (by referring to the list of hospitals as appropriate), the inventory management unit of the specified hospital is connected via the public line 4. The connection is made (see step S4), and the stock information of the hospital can be displayed on the display of the sales point device 2 or the salesman terminal 5 (step S5).

Next, a typical operation of the medical product inventory management system 1 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. In this case, it is assumed that the point-of-sale device 2 is connected online to the hospital-side device 3 (3A or 3B in FIG. 1) designated by the hospital name.

First, the operation on the hospital side will be described. When the hospital apparatus 3 is turned on, the menu screen of step S11 is displayed. On this menu screen, input of inventory information (update of inventory information) and selection of inventory confirmation and the like are requested (step S1).
2). FIG. 5 shows an example of this menu screen.

When a new medical product is purchased and inventory information is to be input, a check is made in the box to the right of the inventory information input shown in FIG. The barcode of the sold product (purchased medical product) is read (step S13), and the stock information of the medical product is input to the hospital stock management unit using the read barcode (step S14). Information to be input to the hospital inventory management unit includes a delivery date, a product name, a model number, a manufacturing date, and the like.
Then, the input information is stored in the database of the hospital inventory management unit (step S15). Step S13
In the example, the stock information is input using a barcode, but the stock information may be input from the keyboard 7 or the like.

If the user selects inventory check in step S12, the process of inventory check in step S16 is performed. FIG. 6 shows an example of the stock confirmation screen in this case. The names and the like of the stocked medical items (here, medical devices) are displayed together with the quantities and the like.

This step S16 is linked with the stock confirmation at the store as indicated by the normal line, and the stock is normally checked from the store. The step S17 side (steps S17 to S21) described below is a process performed when the hospital side urgently performs the operation before the operation or the like.

On this inventory confirmation screen, nurses and the like make a judgment as to whether or not there is a shortage of stock (step S17). If no shortage of stock is selected, this process ends. In S18, the product name of the lacking medical product is specified, and it is determined whether there is a plan to use the medical product (step S19).

When the user selects "no use", the process is terminated. When there is a use schedule, it is determined whether or not to place an order (step S20). When this process is completed and an order is placed, the medical product is ordered (step S21), and the process ends. When placing an order, the inventory management unit at the store side may be accessed to check the stock status of the medical product to be ordered or to check the delivery date.

In step S20, an alarm for determining whether or not to place an order for a medical product that needs to be ordered in step S26 on the selling point side, or a mark that is insufficient by a salesman, is attached. A determination is also made as to whether or not to order the medical product for the product.

In the above description, step S1 in FIG.
Although two cases of inputting inventory information and checking inventory have been described with respect to the selection of No. 2, as shown in FIG. 5, in addition to this, the user can select repair history check or repair history input to check repair history or repair history. Can be input. For example, if the user selects the repair history check, a repair history screen as shown in FIG. 7 is displayed. Then, the repair history of the medical device that has been repaired is displayed.

Next, the operation at the store will be described. Again, in the initial state of the sales point device 2, the menu screen is displayed in step S22. This menu screen is the same as FIG. After the menu screen is displayed, a desired item is selected (step S23).

When the selection of the stock check is performed, a stock check process (step S24) is performed. Although not shown, the stock check at the store side and the stock check (browse stock) at the hospital side can be selected here. And if you select the hospital's inventory check,
The store checks the stock of the hospital connected online by specifying the hospital name (step S25). That is,
The hospital stock management unit is accessed, and the stock information of the medical product transmitted from the hospital stock management unit to the store device 2 via the public line 4 is received by the store device 2, and the display of the store device 2 is displayed. By being displayed by 8, the stock can be confirmed. In this case, an example of a stock confirmation screen displayed on the display 8 is shown in FIG.

From this screen, the medical supplies in the hospital can be checked for stock. When such a selection operation is performed from the salesman side terminal 5, the result of checking the stock is sent to the salesman side terminal 5 and displayed. Based on the hospital stock check in step S25, the necessity of additional order (or necessity of replenishment) is determined by the determining means based on the hospital stock status in the next step S26, and the additional order notification information is sent to the hospital by e-mail. And so on.

More specifically, the necessity of ordering is determined from the turn, hospital stock, store stock, hospital scale, and the like. For example, when (a) the number of medical items in the hospital inventory itself is less than a predetermined number, (b) the number of medical items in the hospital inventory is not less than the predetermined number (not enough), but the size of the hospital is small. If the size judgment items are too small, (c) the number of medical items in the hospital inventory is not less than the predetermined number, but since the store inventory is small, it takes time to deliver, and the time is taken into consideration. Then, if the number of medical supplies in the hospital inventory is less than the predetermined number or there is a possibility that the situation will be too small due to the size of the hospital, it is necessary to place an additional order. Medical goods).

For a medical product judged to need to be ordered, the hospital sends the alarm to the hospital by e-mail or the like (prompting purchase), and the hospital sends the e-mail or the like to the hospital. It receives and judges whether or not to place an order. In addition, in order to perform the process of step S26, this step S26
As described in 26, after referring to the stock status of the store with respect to the stock of the hospital, the necessity of order placement is determined in consideration of the turn in that case.

In the selection of step S23, if a repair history input is selected, a repair history management unit for each hospital in the store is accessed, and a process of inputting a repair history in step S27 is performed. Then, the repaired product is specified (Step S28). Thereafter, the repair information for the product is input (step S29), the repair data is stored in the repair history management unit for each hospital in the store, and the process of inputting the repair history is completed.

Note that other selections (repair history confirmation and stock information input) can be made in step S23 as in step S12. The repair history check can check the repair data stored in the repair history management unit for each hospital in the store.

When the input of the stock information (including the change) is selected, the stock information managed by the store stock management unit can be input or changed. It is possible to input stock information of a new medical product, such as input of stock information at a hospital, or to change the stock when the stock is changed due to sales.

Next, the operation of the salesman will be described. In the initial state of the salesman side terminal 5, the menu screen of step S31 is displayed. This menu screen is the same as FIG. After the display of the menu screen, the state where selection is performed is established (step S32). Select inventory check (Step S3)
3) Then, although not shown, it is possible to select the inventory check of the store and the inventory check of the hospital as described above.

Here, when the stock information of the hospital is selected (step S34), the stock information is selected and connected online in the same manner as when the stock of the hospital is confirmed in step S25 by directly operating the store side device 2. The hospital is checked for stock, and the result of the stock check is displayed on the salesman side terminal 5 (step S35). An example of the stock confirmation screen is as shown in FIG.

Then, the salesman uses the inventory confirmation screen to display the scale of the hospital (the number of doctors, the number of nurses, the total number of medical items,
In consideration of information such as the number of patients) and the average number of operations (per predetermined period), an input for marking a missing product is performed (step S36), and transmitted to the hospital by e-mail or the like.
As shown in step S20, the hospital determines whether or not to place an order for the product marked.

If the user selects repair history check in step S32, the process proceeds to a repair history check process shown in step S37, and the repair history management unit for each hospital on the dealer side is accessed.

When a specific product whose repair history is to be checked is specified by its serial number or the like (step S3).
8) The repair data of the corresponding medical product is read from the medical products having the repair history managed by the repair history management section for each hospital (step S39) and displayed on the display of the salesman terminal 5. (Step S40).

For example, for a product for which a repair history has been input in steps S27 to S30, a new repair history is written in addition to the repair history managed by the hospital-side device 3. The repair history is displayed on the display of the salesman side terminal 5.

Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the displayed repair data is to be transmitted to the hospital (step S41). In the case of a product having a new repair history, for example, "transmit" is selected, and a new repair history is selected. Is input (step S42), taking into account the above, and transmitting to the hospital and ending.
If the user selects not to transmit in step S41, the notification may be sent directly to the hospital (step S44), or the process may be terminated if there is no change in the repair history.

In the selection of step S32, it is also possible to select the input of stock information and the input of repair history.

When input (including change) of the stock information is selected, the stock information managed by the store stock management section can be input or changed. It is possible to input stock information of a new medical product, such as stock information input at a hospital, or to change stock when the stock is changed due to sale or the like.

According to the present embodiment, in addition to directly managing the stock from the stock status at the hospital management section only at the hospital, the hospital stock information is transmitted to the store side and transmitted to the store side. The necessary line of the additional order is determined based on the hospital inventory information, and the medical equipment that needs to be additionally ordered is notified to the hospital apparatus 3. It is possible to further improve the situation where the inventory is insufficient and to improve the function of the inventory management in the hospital, as compared with the case where the inventory is directly managed by the management unit from the inventory status.

In this case, the store can check the stock information at the hospital and notify the information so that the hospital can order the medical product before the stock runs short. Can be easily prevented from occurring beforehand. Therefore, it is possible to eliminate or reduce a problem such as a shortage of medical instruments immediately before surgery.

Also, since the store can check the stock status of the hospital, it can carry out sales activities for medical supplies that are in short supply or almost in short supply from the stock status. Can perform much smoother sales activities. In addition, the store side can take measures such that the store side prepares the inventory in advance for the medical supplies which are almost in short supply at the hospital based on the stock status at the hospital.

The store confirms the stock information at the hospital and grasps an appropriate replacement time or life for a medical product having a repair history managed by the repair history management section for each hospital of the store. Since it is possible to do so, it is easy to smoothly carry out sales activities to sell a new medical product instead of the medical product before the time is reached.

Further, the store can assist the hospital to place an order with little delay, so that the ordered medical products can be delivered in a timely manner, and the hospital and the store can receive the order. Both have significant benefits.

In the selection of step S23 or S37, when the repair history check is selected, the case where the repair history managed by the repair history management section for each hospital of the store can be confirmed has been described. The repair history managed by the management unit (or the repair history management unit) may be confirmed.

When the repair history check is selected in the selection in step S12, in addition to the repair history check of the medical products managed by the hospital, the repair of the medical products of the hospital managed by the dealer is performed. It may be possible to confirm (view) the history. In this way, the repair history can be managed without delay, and the repair result can be dealt with more smoothly.

(Second Embodiment) Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 8 shows a part of a flowchart in the second embodiment. This embodiment has the same configuration as that of the first embodiment. In the flowchart of FIG. 4, for example, only the processing on the salesman side is partially different.

If inventory check is selected in step S33, hospital and dealer inventory can be selected by selecting step S51, and if hospital inventory check is selected (step S52a), hospital inventory is displayed. This is performed at the salesman terminal 5 (step S53a), and if the user selects the store inventory check (step S52b), the display of the store inventory is performed at the salesman terminal 5 (step S5).
3b).

In this embodiment, after the stock of the hospital is displayed, if an input for marking a missing product is performed (step S54), the stock management unit of the store is accessed and the corresponding product is accessed. (In other words, products that are missing due to the mark)
Is read out and displayed on the salesman terminal 5 (step S55).

The salesman determines the delivery date and the like when the missing product is ordered by considering the stock information of the store together with the missing product name, transmits it to the hospital, and determines whether or not to place the order. wait.

According to the present embodiment, when marking a product that is in short supply to notify the hospital that the product is in short supply, how much the product should be ordered after checking the stock status of the product in the store. Information on whether delivery can be made on time can also be sent.

For this reason, the hospital considers the delivery date and the like,
Orders can be placed without delay. The other effects are the same as those of the first embodiment.

When the product judged to be insufficient in FIG. 8 is marked and the information such as the product name and the delivery date is transmitted to the hospital, an order is placed from the hospital to the sales schedule database or the like of the stock management section of the store. Information on the prompted product (the transmitted hospital name, product name, delivery date, etc.) may be stored so that it is possible to know that the product is waiting for a reply as to whether or not an order is to be placed.

A part of the processing in FIG. 8 may be changed as follows. In step S54 of FIG. 8, after marking a product that is in short supply or a product in a situation close to the mark, in step S55, the inventory management unit of the storage facility of the store is accessed, and the mark that is in short supply or in a situation close to the mark is accessed. It is also possible to read out the stock information of the product, compare the two, and notify the hospital of the stock information and the delivery date of the medical product in the storage facility of the comparison result.

In this case, the hospital knows the information on the medical products determined to be low in stock at the hospital side, and also knows the stock information and the delivery date of the storage facility of the medical products. On the other hand, it is possible to smoothly place an additional order in advance. In the above embodiment,
For example, in FIG. 4, the description is made separately for the store side device and the salesman side, but the same processing may be performed for both.
