Description

This disclosure relates to a program, a method, and an information processing device.

After the consultation, the patient typically takes the prescription given by the doctor to a pharmacy and receives the medicine dispensed by the pharmacy. Recently, however, technology has become known that allows a pharmacy to select a medicine dispenser in advance based on the prescription information in order to shorten waiting times at the pharmacy, etc.

Patent Document 1 describes technology related to a prescription intermediation device that extracts dispensing pharmacies that can dispense based on prescription information and information about dispensing pharmacies. This prescription intermediation device extracts dispensing pharmacies that can dispense based on prescription information based on prescription information related to a prescription created for a patient and dispensing pharmacy information related to the dispensing pharmacy, presents the extracted dispensing pharmacies to the patient, receives information from the patient that identifies a dispensing pharmacy selected from the presented dispensing pharmacies, and transmits the patient's prescription information to the identified dispensing pharmacy.

JP 2003-58639 A

However, while the technology in Patent Document 1 can extract pharmacies that can dispense medicine in advance in order to shorten waiting times, it does so based on prescription information and pharmacy information, meaning that the user, who is the patient, cannot freely choose a pharmacy. Furthermore, there is a recent need to be able to receive prescribed medicine from the comfort of one's own home, but the technology in Patent Document 1 has the problem that it does not allow users to receive medicine under their desired conditions.

Therefore, this disclosure provides technology that allows a user to receive prescribed medication from a pharmacy specified by the user based on the conditions desired by the user.

According to one embodiment, a program to be executed by a computer having a processor and a memory is provided. The program is for extracting pharmacies that dispense a drug included in a prescription desired by the user through a user operation, and causes the computer to execute the following steps: accepting an input of first information from the user, who is a patient, which is information regarding the user's desired conditions for receiving a drug and does not include information about the drug to be prescribed; extracting information about candidate pharmacies from information about pharmacies stored in a pharmacy information management database based on the accepted first information; presenting the extracted information about candidate pharmacies to the user; accepting, from the user, a designation of information about at least one pharmacy from the presented information about the candidate pharmacies; extracting information about a recommended pharmacy from the at least one pharmacy for which the designation was accepted based on the first information and second information, which is information included in the prescription and is information about the drug to be prescribed; and presenting the extracted information about the recommended pharmacy to the user.

According to the present disclosure, candidate pharmacies are extracted based on information regarding the desired conditions for receiving medicine by a patient user, and the user further specifies at least one pharmacy from among the extracted candidate pharmacies, and a recommended pharmacy is extracted from among the pharmacies specified by the user based on the information regarding the user's desired conditions and information regarding the medicine to be prescribed, thereby enabling the user to receive medicine from a pharmacy based on their own wishes.

<3 Operation>
Next, the operation of each device constituting the pharmacy extraction system 1 will be described.

<3.1 Operation example 1>
8 is a diagram showing a process flow for extracting pharmacies based on the user's desired conditions via the server 20. In the following example, a case will be described in which a user who is a patient and has received a prescription from a doctor after consultation is presented with information about recommended pharmacies based on information about the user's desired conditions for receiving medicine.

In step S601, the user terminal device 10 accepts input of information on the desired conditions for receiving the medicine from the user. The user uses the user terminal device 10 to input information on the desired conditions, such as the method of receiving the medicine, the desired date and time of receiving the medicine, the desired delivery fee for the medicine, and the means of medication instructions, and transmits the information to the server 20.

In step S651, the server 20 extracts information about candidate pharmacies based on the received information. When extracting information about candidate pharmacies, the server 20 extracts information about candidate pharmacies that meet the desired conditions entered by the user from information about multiple pharmacies stored in the pharmacy information management database 2024. In step S651, if no candidate pharmacies are extracted, the server 20 notifies the user to prompt them to re-enter information about the desired conditions, and can present information about the desired conditions entered by the user that does not meet the extraction conditions for candidate pharmacies.

In step S652, the server 20 presents information about the extracted candidate pharmacies to the user. The presented information about the candidate pharmacies is displayed on the screen of the user terminal device 10 as a list for each pharmacy, with detailed information about each pharmacy. When extracting information about the candidate pharmacies, the server 20 can add information about the proximity of each piece of information about the extracted candidate pharmacies to the desired conditions for receiving medicine, and present the information about the extracted candidate pharmacies together with the information about the proximity to the user. The server 20 can also preferentially present information about candidate pharmacies with a high degree of proximity to the user.

In step S602, the user-side terminal device 10 accepts from the user a designation of information on at least one pharmacy from among the extracted information on candidate pharmacies. The user uses the user-side terminal device 10 to designate information on at least one pharmacy from among the displayed candidate pharmacies from which the user wishes to request dispensing of the prescribed medication, and transmits the information to the server 20. When designating information on at least one pharmacy, the user can set information on the priority order that the user wishes to extract. By setting information on the priority order that the user wishes to extract, the user's wishes can be given priority in the extraction of information on recommended pharmacies.

In step S653, the server 20 extracts information about a recommended pharmacy from the information about at least one pharmacy received from the user based on the information about the user's desired conditions and the information about the pharmacy. When extracting information about a recommended pharmacy, the server 20 refers to information about dispensable drugs included in the information about multiple pharmacies stored in the pharmacy information management database 2024, and extracts information about a recommended pharmacy that meets the desired conditions entered by the user.

When multiple pharmacies that meet these conditions are extracted and the user has set information regarding the priority order they wish to be extracted, the server 20 can assign the priority order to the multiple extracted pharmacies and extract information regarding recommended pharmacies in order of highest priority.

When multiple pharmacies that meet these conditions are extracted, the server 20 can assign priorities to the extracted multiple pharmacies and extract information about the recommended pharmacies in order of highest priority. For example, the server 20 can assign information about the proximity of each piece of information about the pharmacy specified in step S602 to the desired conditions for receiving the medicine, and extract the information about the pharmacy with the highest proximity as the information about the recommended pharmacy.

In step S654, the server 20 presents the extracted information about the recommended pharmacies to the user. The information about the recommended pharmacies is based on the information input by the user on the screen of the user-side terminal device 10, and the information about the pharmacies that most closely match the user's desired conditions is displayed as the information about the recommended pharmacies.

When the user sets information regarding the priority order that the user wishes to extract, the server 20 can present information regarding the pharmacy with the highest priority order as information regarding the recommended pharmacy. In this case, for example, information regarding the top three pharmacies with the highest priority order can be presented as information regarding the recommended pharmacy.

When the extracted pharmacies are assigned a priority (proximity to the desired conditions), the server 20 can present information about the pharmacy with the highest priority as information about the recommended pharmacy. In this case, for example, information about the top three pharmacies with the highest priority can be presented as information about the recommended pharmacy.

In step S603, the user terminal device 10 accepts an operation from the user to agree to the presented information about the recommended pharmacies. The user uses the user terminal device 10 to input information for agreeing to the information about the recommended pharmacies and transmits it to the server 20. If multiple pieces of information about recommended pharmacies are presented, the user terminal device 10 accepts an operation to agree to the information about one recommended pharmacy selected by the user. In this step, the user terminal device 10 accepts an operation from the user to not agree to any of the presented information about the recommended pharmacies, and can request the user to re-enter desired conditions, etc.

In step S655, the server 20 receives consent from the user and sends information about the prescription to the pharmacy terminal device 30.

This example of operation extracts information about pharmacies that most closely match the user's desired criteria.

<3.2 Operation example 2>
9 is a diagram showing a processing flow in a case where a pharmacy cannot be extracted based on the user's desired conditions via the server 20. In the following example, an example will be described in which no information on a recommended pharmacy can be extracted in the step of extracting information on a recommended pharmacy shown in the operation example 1 (step S653).

In step S602, the user terminal device 10 accepts from the user a specification of information about at least one pharmacy from among the extracted information about candidate pharmacies. Using the user terminal device 10, the user specifies information about at least one pharmacy from among the displayed candidate pharmacies from which the user wishes to request dispensing of the prescribed medicine, and transmits the information to the server 20.

In step S6530, if the server 20 is unable to extract information on a recommended pharmacy from the received information on at least one pharmacy based on the information on the desired conditions and the information on the dispensable drug contained in the pharmacy information, the server 20 sends a notification to the user requesting either re-input of information on the desired conditions for receiving the drug or re-specification of information on at least one pharmacy. In this notification, the server 20 can present to the user the reason why the information on the recommended pharmacy could not be extracted. In this case, the server 20 can present recommended conditions for extracting information on a recommended pharmacy. For example, the server 20 can present, as recommended conditions, the conditions necessary to extract information on a pharmacy that was not extracted as a recommended pharmacy but is closest to the user's desired conditions as information on a recommended pharmacy.

With this type of operation example, even if information about a recommended pharmacy based on the user's initial desired conditions is not extracted, the user can be prompted to specify information about the pharmacy again, making it possible to extract information about a pharmacy that meets the user's desired conditions.

<5. Modifications>
A modification of this embodiment will now be described.

(1) Process for extracting multiple pieces of information relating to recommended pharmacies In the above embodiment, an example of extracting one piece of information relating to a recommended pharmacy has been described. However, a process may also be executed in which each piece of information relating to a pharmacy is provided with information relating to its proximity to the desired conditions for receiving medication, and based on this proximity, information relating to multiple (two or more) recommended pharmacies is extracted from information relating to at least one candidate pharmacy designated by the user, and the extracted information relating to the multiple recommended pharmacies is presented to the user together with information relating to their proximity.

(2) The processing server 20 that stores information regarding the desired conditions for receiving medicine input by the user may execute a process to store the information when it receives information regarding the desired conditions for receiving medicine from the user.

(3) The processing server 20 that stores information regarding at least one candidate pharmacy designated by a user may execute a process of storing the information when it receives a designation of information regarding at least one candidate pharmacy from a user.

As described above, the pharmacy extraction system 1 disclosed herein receives information on desired conditions for receiving medicine from a user who is a patient, extracts information on candidate pharmacies from information on pharmacies stored in a pharmacy information management database based on the received information, presents the extracted information on candidate pharmacies to the user, receives designation of information on at least one pharmacy from the presented information on candidate pharmacies from the user, extracts information on a recommended pharmacy from the at least one pharmacy whose designation was accepted based on information on the user's desired conditions and information contained in the prescription that is related to the medicine to be prescribed, and presents the extracted information to the user. This allows the user to receive medicine from a pharmacy based on their own wishes.

Furthermore, according to the pharmacy extraction system 1 disclosed herein, an operation to consent to the information about the recommended pharmacy is accepted from the user, and a process of transmitting information about the prescription to the pharmacy extracted as the recommended pharmacy is performed by accepting the consent operation. Therefore, when the user consents to the presented information about the recommended pharmacy, the information about the prescription is transmitted to the pharmacy, and the user can smoothly receive the medicine.

Furthermore, according to the pharmacy extraction system 1 disclosed herein, information regarding the proximity of each piece of information about extracted candidate pharmacies to the desired conditions for receiving medicine is added, and the information about the extracted candidate pharmacies is presented to the user together with the information about the proximity. This allows the user to know how close the information about the extracted candidate pharmacies is to the user's desired conditions, thereby improving user convenience.

Furthermore, according to the pharmacy extraction system 1 disclosed herein, a process is performed in which, from among the information about extracted candidate pharmacies, information about candidate pharmacies with a high degree of proximity is preferentially presented to the user. This allows the user to easily understand how close the information about the extracted candidate pharmacies is to their desired conditions, thereby improving user convenience.

Furthermore, according to the pharmacy extraction system 1 disclosed herein, a process is performed to extract information about recommended pharmacies based on information about the proximity to desired conditions for receiving medicine. This makes it possible to improve the extraction accuracy for extracting information about recommended pharmacies.

Furthermore, according to the pharmacy extraction system 1 disclosed herein, multiple pieces of information related to recommended pharmacies are extracted based on information related to the proximity to the desired conditions for receiving medicine, and the extracted pieces of information related to the multiple recommended pharmacies are presented to the user together with information related to the proximity. Therefore, the user can check information related to pharmacies that are relatively close to the user in addition to information related to the most recommended pharmacy, thereby expanding the range of pharmacy choices available to the user and improving user convenience.

Furthermore, according to the pharmacy extraction system 1 disclosed herein, the user sets information regarding the priority order desired for extraction for each piece of information regarding the specified pharmacy, and a process is performed to extract information regarding a recommended pharmacy from at least one pharmacy for which a specification has been accepted, based on the set information regarding the priority order. Therefore, since the user can set information regarding the priority order desired for extraction, the user's wishes can be given priority in the extraction of information regarding recommended pharmacies.

Furthermore, according to the pharmacy extraction system 1 disclosed herein, if information on a recommended pharmacy cannot be extracted, a process is performed that requests the user to either input information on the desired conditions for receiving the medicine or to re-specify information on at least one pharmacy from the information on the presented candidate pharmacies. Therefore, even if information on a recommended pharmacy cannot be extracted, a reliable pharmacy extraction process can be achieved by requesting the user to re-input information on the desired conditions or to re-specify information on at least one pharmacy.

Furthermore, according to the pharmacy extraction system 1 disclosed herein, a process is performed to store information regarding the desired conditions for receiving medicine received from the user. Therefore, when the user receives a prescription from the doctor at the next consultation, the user can use the stored information regarding the desired conditions for receiving medicine to extract information regarding candidate pharmacies without having to re-enter the desired conditions, thereby improving user convenience.

Furthermore, according to the pharmacy extraction system 1 disclosed herein, a process is performed to store information about at least one pharmacy that has been designated by the user. Therefore, the user can designate information about a pharmacy to extract information about a recommended pharmacy in advance before receiving medical treatment, such as while waiting for treatment, and the information about the recommended pharmacy can be extracted when the post-medical treatment server 20 acquires the prescription information, so that information about the recommended pharmacy can be extracted promptly after medical treatment, improving user convenience.

Although several embodiments of the present disclosure have been described above, these embodiments can be implemented in various other forms, and various omissions, substitutions, and modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the invention. These embodiments and variations thereof are within the scope of the invention and its equivalents as set forth in the claims, as well as the scope and gist of the invention.
