Abstract
Description
La présente invention a pour objet une feuille d'ordonnance médicale infalsifiable. Elle permet de fournir aux médecins des feuilles sur lesquelles ils peuvent rédiger leurs ordonnances, ordonnances dont l'authenticité est vérifiable par le pharmacien devant les honorer.The present invention relates to a sheet of falsifiable medical prescription. She allows to provide doctors with sheets on which they can write their orders, orders of which authenticity is verifiable by the pharmacist before honor them.
Depuis quelques années, les médecins se sont informatisés notamment en matériel de traitement de texte informatisés, ce qui leur permet, entre autres, de délivrer leurs ordonnances sous forme dactylographiée et non plus manuscrite. Ces matériels comprennent un logiciel permettant, à chaque édition de l'ordonnance, d'imprimer l'intitulé du médecin selon les normes définies dans l'article 6 de l'arrêté du 25 novembre 1993 portant approbation de la convention nationale des médecins.In recent years, doctors have computerized in particular in processing equipment computerized text, which allows them, among other things, to issue their prescriptions in the form typed and no longer handwritten. These materials include software allowing each edition of the prescription, to print the title of the doctor according to the standards defined in article 6 of the decree of 25 November 1993 approving the agreement national doctors.
Les médecins utilisent généralement des ramettes de papier vierge adapté aux imprimantes à laser, ces ramettes étant distribuées dans les circuits classiques de commercialisation.Doctors usually use reams virgin paper suitable for laser printers, these reams being distributed in conventional circuits marketing.
Quiconque ayant l'intention de se faire rembourser par les Caisses Nationales d'Assurance Maladie une automédication, ou un renouvellement non autorisé d'un médicament, ou tout médicament destiné à un tiers, a aisément la possibilité d'utiliser un équipement de traitement de texte et de rédiger sa propre ordonnance. Anyone intending to be reimbursed by the National Health Insurance Funds a self-medication, or an unauthorized renewal of a medication, or any medication intended for a third party, has easily the possibility of using word processor and write his own prescription.
Pour cela, il suffit de reprendre la police de caractères habituellement utilisée par le médecin et de copier ses intitulés, d'imiter sa mise en page et sa signature.To do this, simply take over the police from characters usually used by the doctor and from copy its titles, imitate its layout and its signature.
Une simple photocopie de l'ordonnance avant sa délivrance par le pharmacien peut aussi suffire dans certains cas.A simple photocopy of the prescription before its dispensing by the pharmacist may also be sufficient in certain cases.
Un pharmacien, conformément au Code de déontologie
R 5004-60 régi par l'Inspection Régionale de la
Pharmacie, est habilité à honorer une ordonnance et à
délivrer une feuille de soins lorsque celle-ci n'est
pas présentée par le patient, sauf dans le cas prévu à
l'article R 5015-60 qui vise les "règles à observer
dans les relations avec le public" (section IV). Cet
article stipule :
"lorsque l'intérêt de la santé du patient lui
paraít l'exiger, le pharmacien doit refuser de
dispenser un médicament. Si ce médicament est
prescrit sur une ordonnance, le pharmacien doit
informer immédiatement le prescripteur de son
refus et le mentionner sur l'ordonnance."A pharmacist, in accordance with the Code of ethics R 5004-60 governed by the Regional Pharmacy Inspectorate, is empowered to fill a prescription and to issue a treatment sheet when it is not presented by the patient, except in the case provided for in article R 5015-60 which relates to "rules to be observed in relations with the public" (section IV). This article states:
"When the interest of the patient's health appears to him to demand it, the pharmacist must refuse to dispense a medication. If this medication is prescribed on a prescription, the pharmacist must immediately inform the prescriber of his refusal and mention it on the order."
Cette seule condition n'est évidemment pas suffisante pour éviter les abus par falsifications d'ordonnance.This condition alone is obviously not sufficient to prevent abuse by falsifications prescription.
Devant le développement de l'informatisation des médecins, l'incitation du Ministère de la Santé à systématiser celle-ci et les risques financiers encourus, le praticien est, de fait, très sensibilisé au problème d'une éventuelle falsification de son ordonnance.In front of the development of the computerization of doctors, the Ministry of Health's incentive to systematize it and financial risks incurred, the practitioner is, in fact, very aware to the problem of a possible falsification of his order.
La présente invention a justement pour but de résoudre ce problème. The purpose of the present invention is to solve this problem.
A cette fin, l'invention propose une feuille d'ordonnance qui est infalsifiable. Selon l'invention, cette feuille comprend un message invisible d'authentification susceptible d'être révélé par frottement. La révélation de ce message par un pharmacien, sur une ordonnance qui lui est présentée, authentifie celle-ci.To this end, the invention provides a sheet tamper-evident. According to the invention, this sheet includes an invisible message authentication likely to be revealed by friction. The revelation of this message by a pharmacist, on a prescription presented to him, authenticates it.
De préférence, la feuille est un papier adapté aux imprimantes à laser des équipements de traitement de texte informatisés ; mais on pourrait aussi utiliser un papier ordinaire.Preferably, the sheet is a paper suitable for laser printers processing equipment computerized text; but we could also use a plain paper.
Le message d'authentification peut être un mot ou un groupe de mots. Ce mot (ou l'un des mots du groupe de mots), peut être le mot "ORIGINAL". On peut utiliser, par exemple, le message "DOCUMENT ORIGINAL".The authentication message can be a word or a group of words. This word (or one of the words in the group of words), can be the word "ORIGINAL". We can use, for example, the message "ORIGINAL DOCUMENT".
De préférence encore, le message invisible d'authentification est placé dans un cadre visible permettant au pharmacien de localiser le message à révéler.Preferably again, the invisible message authentication is placed in a visible frame allowing the pharmacist to locate the message at reveal.
Bien que tout type de révèlement soit possible, on préfère, pour des raisons de simplicité, avoir recours à un révèlement par frottement, au moyen d'un objet métallique. Cet objet, peut être, par exemple, une pièce de monnaie.Although any type of reversal is possible, we prefers, for reasons of simplicity, to have recourse to a friction reversal, by means of an object metallic. This object can be, for example, a piece of money.
Pour réduire encore les risques de falsification, la feuille peut comprendre, en outre, un signe colorié difficilement reproductible par photocopie. Il peut s'agir, par exemple, de la mention "ordonnance médicale", ou d'un caducée, ou des deux.To further reduce the risk of forgery, the sheet may also include a colored sign difficult to reproduce by photocopy. he can for example, the words "order medical ", or a caduceus, or both.
Dans un mode de réalisation avantageux, le cadre entourant le message d'authentification et le signe difficilement reproductible sont inscrits en une même encre difficilement reproductible par photocopie.In an advantageous embodiment, the frame surrounding the authentication message and the sign difficult to reproduce are written in the same ink difficult to reproduce by photocopy.
- la figure 1 illustre un exemple de feuille d'ordonnance médicale selon l'invention, sous sa forme originale ;Figure 1 illustrates an example sheet of medical prescription according to the invention, under its original form;
- la figure 2 illustre la feuille correspondante, une fois le message d'authentification révélé.FIG. 2 illustrates the corresponding sheet, once the authentication message is revealed.
La figure 1 montre une feuille 1, par exemple en
papier adapté aux imprimantes à laser, avec un cadre 2,
à l'intérieur duquel est inscrit un message invisible
obtenu par une encre spéciale. La mention ORDONNANCE
MEDICALE figure en bas de la feuille et un caducée 3 au
centre de celle-ci.Figure 1 shows a
La marque du fabricant de cette feuille peut être également inscrite sur cette feuille. Le Demandeur marque ainsi les feuilles qu'il réalise avec la mention "Sécuripharm", qui est une marque déposée.The manufacturer's mark for this sheet may be also listed on this sheet. The Applicant thus marks the sheets he makes with the mention "Sécuripharm", which is a registered trademark.
La mention, le caducée, le cadre, la marque peuvent être écrits avec une encre difficilement reproductible par photocopie, par exemple une encre bleu pâle ou jaune.The mention, the caduceus, the frame, the brand can hardly be written with ink reproducible by photocopy, for example an ink pale blue or yellow.
Quant au message d'authentification, il peut être obtenu de la manière suivante.As for the authentication message, it can be obtained in the following manner.
On utilise une encre de sécurité, dite encore encre gommable. L'avantage de cette encre tient à la possibilité de l'appliquer de manière traditionnelle en offset humide et à sa très grande sensibilité au gommage et au grattage. Cette encre n'a pas de sensibilité aux agents chimiques.We use security ink, also known as erasable ink. The advantage of this ink is the possibility of applying it in a traditional way wet offset and its high sensitivity to scrub and scraping. This ink has no sensitivity to chemical agents.
Un premier passage sur offset imprime le message à révéler avec cette encre et un deuxième passage recouvre le message en blanc. La couleur de l'écriture est fonction de la demande du client.A first pass on offset prints the message to reveal with this ink and a second pass covers the blank message. The color of the writing is based on customer demand.
La figure 2 montre la même feuille, une fois le
message d'authentification révélé. Dans l'exemple pris,
la révélation s'est effectuée par frottement avec un
objet métallique, par exemple une pièce de monnaie.
Dans l'exemple illustré, ce message est "DOCUMENT
ORIGINAL". Il est entouré du cadre 2.Figure 2 shows the same sheet, once the
authentication message revealed. In the example taken,
the revelation was carried out by friction with a
metal object, for example a coin.
In the example illustrated, this message is "DOCUMENT
ORIGINAL ". It is surrounded by
