Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to tuberculosis early warning, and in particular to an early warning management method for suspected tuberculosis cases. Background Art
[0002] Tuberculosis (TB) is a major infectious disease that severely endangers public health and poses a significant challenge to global public health. In 2023, there were 10.8 million new TB cases worldwide, with an incidence rate of approximately 134 cases per 100,000 people. Among all new cases, 662,000, or approximately 6.1%, were coinfected with HIV; and 400,000, or approximately 3.7%, were diagnosed with multidrug-resistant / rifampicin-resistant TB.
[0003] Early warning management of suspected tuberculosis cases is an effective means to prevent the spread of tuberculosis, but existing technical solutions have the following main problems:
[0004] 1) Inefficient diagnosis: Primary healthcare institutions lack intelligent analysis tools and rely on manual analysis of medical images, resulting in delayed responses.
[0005] 2) Disconnected patient management: There is a lack of automated connection between screening results and review notifications, which can easily lead to missed diagnoses and missed management;
[0006] 3) Difficulty in data collaboration: There is a serious phenomenon of information silos between medical institutions, making it impossible to achieve real-time sharing and tracking of screening data;
[0007] 4) Lack of early warning mechanism: Existing technical solutions are unable to actively identify suspected tuberculosis cases and provide graded early warning, resulting in a low detection rate. Summary of the Invention
[0008] (1) Technical problems solved
[0009] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a method for early warning management of suspected tuberculosis cases, which can effectively overcome the defect of the prior art that it is difficult to carry out efficient early warning management of suspected tuberculosis cases.
[0010] (2) Technical solution

[0032] The early warning management system pushes warning bubble reminders to designated departments and doctors of designated institutions in the jurisdiction through the early warning management system workstation, and conducts full-process status management.
[0033] Preferably, the early warning management system pushes early warning bubble reminders to designated departments and doctors of designated institutions in the jurisdiction through the early warning management system workstation, and performs full-process status management, including:
[0034] Define the status flow rules of "suspected - notification - re-examination - confirmed / excluded", record a complete operation log for each status change, support rollback based on time windows, and trigger a secondary confirmation mechanism for abnormal operations to prevent the spread of erroneous operations;
[0035] Doctors at designated institutions in the jurisdiction can directly open the warning bubble to view the AI screening suspected list, exclude suspected tuberculosis cases from the AI screening suspected list, notify patients for re-examination via SMS, and view AI screening details.
[0036] Preferably, patients who have been sent SMS notifications will be added to the SMS notification list, where doctors at designated institutions in the jurisdiction will exclude suspected tuberculosis cases, confirm tuberculosis cases, send SMS notifications to patients for reexamination, and view AI screening details.

[0042] Compared with the existing technology, the early warning management method for suspected tuberculosis cases provided by the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0043] 1) Build a coding system and matching mechanism for a collaborative network of medical institutions. Through a unique six-level coding architecture consisting of "TB examination institution - designated institution in the jurisdiction - department dictionary of designated institution in the jurisdiction - doctor role of designated institution in the jurisdiction - doctor user of designated institution in the jurisdiction - early warning management system workstation," this system enables precise routing of cross-institutional data, thereby achieving accurate matching of suspected TB cases with responsible doctors, effectively solving the inefficiency caused by traditional manual allocation.
[0044] 2) Create a two-way interactive mechanism for intelligent early warning, breaking new ground by converting AI analysis and screening results into actionable clinical workflows in real time. This includes a three-in-one interactive design featuring early warning bubble reminders, SMS notifications, and full-process status management, achieving closed-loop interaction.
[0045] 3) Form a state machine model for closed-loop management, ensuring full process traceability through a four-state transition mechanism of "suspected - notified - retested - confirmed / excluded";
[0046] 4) Achieve digital tracking of the entire process of "screening-warning-disposition-feedback", especially through workstation-level precise push and automatic status rollback mechanism, effectively solving the dual problems of "excessive warning" and "disconnected disposition" common in existing technical solutions;
[0047] 5) Realize intelligent management of the entire process from initial screening and warning to confirmed treatment, and effectively improve the early detection rate and standardized management rate of tuberculosis. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
