Description

Technical Field

[0003] The present invention belongs to the technical field of outpatient management, and specifically relates to an outpatient management method and system based on generative AI. Background Art

[0004] The current outpatient management system has many problems that need to be solved urgently. The patient appointment process is cumbersome, often requiring manual selection of departments and doctors, and it is difficult to obtain the optimal appointment time in real time, resulting in long waiting times for appointments. The triage process lacks a dynamic adjustment mechanism, and traditional triage standards cannot take into account the urgency of the patient's condition and the resource load of the department. It is easy for patients with mild symptoms to wait too long or patients with severe conditions to not be diagnosed and treated in time. In terms of resource scheduling, doctor scheduling and examination equipment allocation mostly rely on manual experience, which cannot accurately match real-time patient traffic, often resulting in the contradiction of idle equipment and patients queuing. In addition, the generation of medical records and treatment recommendations is inefficient, and doctors need to spend a lot of time processing paperwork, which affects the efficiency of diagnosis and treatment. The existing system lacks the ability to deeply mine and predict historical data, making it difficult to achieve forward-looking optimization of outpatient processes and unable to meet the needs of smart healthcare for efficient and precise management.

[0081] AI control and simulation output module, used to execute outpatient management processes, optimize objective functions, and generate management data and patient feedback.

[0082] Specifically include the following embodiments:

[0083] Reference Figure 1 , a generative AI-based outpatient management method, comprising: when a patient visits a doctor through the AI ​​outpatient management system:

[0084] Patients enter basic information such as name, age, and gender, as well as a description of symptoms like headache, fever, and cough, through the system client. The system then automatically retrieves the patient's historical medical records. A generative AI model semantically understands the patient's symptom description, analyzing key information such as the nature, duration, and accompanying symptoms. Combined with historical medical records, it generates possible disease types and corresponding department recommendations. For example, a cold might be recommended for consultation with a respiratory specialist.

[0085] The target appointment cycle is set to 3 days, meaning patients are expected to complete their initial consultation within 3 days. The system obtains the current number of appointments for each department, such as 50 appointments for the Department of Respiratory Medicine and 30 appointments for the Department of Gastroenterology. It also obtains the doctor's availability, such as 3 doctors are currently on duty in the Department of Respiratory Medicine, and each doctor is expected to see 20 patients per day. It also obtains the estimated consultation time, such as 15 minutes for each patient with the common cold.

[0086] A patient priority assessment model was constructed, which comprehensively considers the urgency of the patient's condition (e.g., a patient with a fever of 39°C is prioritized over a patient with a common cough), the early or late appointment time, and whether there are special needs (e.g., pregnant women, the elderly), to generate an appointment priority weight for each patient. A department resource status model was also established, including the number of physicians in each department, each physician's capacity, the number of currently scheduled patients, and their estimated appointment times.

[0087] Calculate the appointment time for patient i, i = 1, 2, ..., n:

[0088] Coordination appointment stage: t1(i) start =max(t1(i-1) end ,t2(i-1) start -T buffer ), where T buffer Set to 1 day to ensure a reasonable buffer time between appointments and initial visits. For example, if patient i-1's appointment ends at 10:00 AM on day 1 and patient i-1's initial visit starts at 8:00 AM on day 2, then patient i's appointment start time must be at least 10:00 AM on day 1.

[0089] Coordination of initial diagnosis stage: t2(i) start =max(t1(i) end ,t2(i-1) end ) to ensure that the first consultation starts after the appointment ends and no earlier than the end time of the previous patient's first consultation.

[0090] In the process of coordinating patient appointments and initial consultations, it is necessary to limit the appointment or initial consultation stage of each patient at any time to avoid resource conflicts. Calculate the appointment duration of the i-th patient T(i) = T1(i) + T2(i), obtain the target cycle duration of 3 days, and calculate the duration objective function By optimizing the algorithm, the appointment time and duration of each patient are adjusted to make the overall appointment cycle as close to the target cycle as possible, thereby improving appointment efficiency.

[0091] A patient severity assessment model is established, inputting patient symptoms and vital signs data such as temperature, blood pressure, and heart rate to generate triage priorities. For example, patients with high fever and dyspnea are prioritized as Level 1, while those with the common cold are prioritized as Level 3. A resource balancing strategy is implemented based on the real-time number of patients in each department and the doctor's availability, dynamically adjusting the department and order of patient triage. If the respiratory department has a long waiting list, some patients with milder symptoms can be transferred to other departments or scheduled for a later appointment.

[0092] Calculate the resource requirements of department j during the diagnosis and treatment process:

[0093] Calculating physician resource requirements For example, the average diagnosis and treatment power of respiratory physicians P 1,j 4 people per hour, the time to start treating patients It is 8:00 am on the 3rd day, so at 9:00 am on the 3rd day, the doctor resource demand is 4×(9-8)=4 people.

[0094] Calculate and check device resource requirements Assume that the maximum power P of a certain examination equipment in the Department of Respiratory Medicine is 2,j 10 times per hour, starting time It is 8:00 am on the third day, and the usage cycle duration is T 2,j For 1 hour, then at 8:30 am on the third day, the equipment resource requirements are

[0095] Calculate waiting space resource requirements E 3,j (t)=-P 3,j ×T 3,j , the unit release rate P of the waiting space of the respiratory department 3,j 5 people per hour, the average waiting time for patients is T 3,j If the waiting time is 0.5 hours, then the waiting space resource demand is -5×0.5=-2.5, which means that 2.5 waiting spaces are released every hour.

[0096] For department j, physician resources and examination equipment resources are consumed during the diagnosis and treatment phase, and waiting room resources are released when the patient leaves the department. The resource state of department j at any time t is calculated as = resource release - first resource consumption. The rate of change of the resource state within a time step Δt = 1 hour is calculated. The resource allocation objective function is to minimize this rate of change, ensuring that the department's resource state is as stable as possible and avoiding excessive resource fluctuations.

[0097] Generative AI assists doctors in generating differential diagnosis ideas and treatment recommendations. For example, for patients with fever, AI generates possible differential diagnoses, including colds, pneumonia, and influenza, and provides corresponding examination and treatment recommendations. Key information from the diagnosis and treatment process, such as diagnosis results and medication usage, is recorded in real time, automatically generating structured medical records. Follow-up plans and health management recommendations are generated based on the patient's condition and treatment plan, such as recommending a blood test be repeated one week later.

[0098] Collect various data during outpatient operations, such as patient waiting time, physician workload, and equipment utilization. Use generative AI to analyze data and identify bottlenecks in outpatient management, such as the long patient waiting time between 10:00 and 11:00 a.m. in the respiratory department. Based on the analysis results, optimize appointment scheduling, triage, and resource allocation models and strategies. For example, when making the next appointment, appropriately reduce the number of appointments for that time period or increase the number of temporary physician visits. Control the AI ​​outpatient management system to display the optimized outpatient management results to medical staff and patients, such as displaying adjusted appointment times and triage arrangements on the system interface.
