Abstract
Computerized system for making of labels of drug envelopes was constituted to increase efficiency of works and patients compliance. The system was able to printout directions for signature, dosage and notice of prescribed medicines. Patients attributions, e.g., name, age and clinical division were accepted from patient data base in administration office and interface files based on ID No.as key cord.
Work station in this system is composed of as follows. Two colour equipped with a typed touch pannel systems and two 24×24 dot printers which were connected with hospital host computer FACOM-M36OR were used for making of labels of drug envelopes. In order to reduce input time, 201 kinds of sentences which contain directions for signature, dosage and notice in prescriptions were registerd on touch pannels as replaced codes, and also 68 kinds of set codes were made by the combination of the replaced codes.
Since the total number of prescriptions were also output every 30 minutes for the statistical data analysis, pharmacists were properly arranged for dispensing works.
