Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical laboratory information technology, and in particular to a digital and intelligent operation decision-making system for medical laboratories based on real-time monitoring. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, quality control in medical laboratories largely focuses on pre- and post-analytical quality management during the testing process, such as external quality assessment and internal quality control. However, laboratory operational efficiency and service quality are equally important components of the clinical quality system, particularly the automated statistics, analysis, and early warning of key operational indicators such as pre-analytical time-to-analytical (TAT) (reflecting the efficiency from specimen collection to receipt), in-laboratory TAT (reflecting the efficiency from receipt to review within the laboratory), and sample collection pass rate. Existing LIS systems primarily focus on recording and reporting result data, lacking systematic management of operational quality indicators. Laboratory operational indicators (such as TAT and sample collection pass rate) require manual statistics, resulting in delays and inaccuracies, failing to meet hospitals' needs for continuous improvement in operational efficiency and management levels. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a digital and intelligent operation decision-making system for medical laboratories based on real-time monitoring, thereby promoting the transformation of laboratory quality management to a digital and intelligent management model.
[0004] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution: a digital and intelligent operation decision-making system for medical laboratories based on real-time monitoring, comprising a data source synchronization module, a data processing module, a data storage module, an access and display module, and a monitoring and early warning module;
[0005] The data source synchronization module is used to synchronize the original data to the local database;
[0006] The data processing module is used to preprocess the raw data;
[0007] The data storage module stores the processed data into the corresponding local database according to the different functional modules;
[0008] The display module provides an interface for the front-end system to call and dynamically query data according to user needs;
[0009] The monitoring and early warning module compares the monitoring data with the indicator thresholds in real time, and automatically triggers an early warning when the data exceeds the range.
[0010] Preferably, the data processing module is used to standardize, denoise, and logically verify the raw data, and to logically sort the acquisition time, reception time, detection time, and report review time.
[0011] Preferably, the display module uses line charts, bar charts, lists, or pie charts to display the operating indicators.
[0012] The present invention has the following advantages: The present invention synchronizes, cleans and logically processes the raw data through the data source synchronization module, data processing module and data storage module, thereby eliminating the need for manual statistics, generating indicators in real time, shortening the analysis time, and setting up a call display module to realize traceable analysis, thereby facilitating subsequent continuous improvement.

All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the invention.

In addition, the terms "first," "second," etc., are only used to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0022] In the description of this invention, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set," "install," "connect," and "link" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.
[0023] In this embodiment, the medical laboratory digital operation decision-making system based on real-time monitoring includes a data source synchronization module, a data processing module, a data storage module, an access and display module, and a monitoring and early warning module.
[0024] The data source synchronization module is used to synchronize raw data to the local database. Specifically, the raw data all come from the medical laboratory LIS system. Through the preset database view, the required raw data, such as sample collection, reception, computer processing, report review time, collection quality markers, etc., are synchronized to the local database to ensure the real-time nature of the data.
[0025] The data processing module is used to preprocess the raw data; specifically, it is used to standardize, denoise, and perform logical verification on the raw data. The logical verification includes checking for timestamp anomalies, missing data, and conflicting acquisition markers. It also performs logical sorting of acquisition time, reception time, detection time, and report review time to eliminate erroneous data.
[0026] The data storage module stores the processed data into the corresponding local database according to different functional modules, and uses partitioned tables and indexes for optimization, thereby supporting fast analysis and querying of large-scale data;
[0027] The display module provides an interface for the front-end system to call and dynamically query data according to user needs; furthermore, the display module uses line charts, bar charts, lists or pie charts to display operating indicators.
[0028] The monitoring and early warning module compares monitoring data with indicator thresholds in real time, automatically triggering an early warning when values exceed the limits. The raw data is synchronized, cleaned, and logically processed through the data source synchronization module, data processing module, and data storage module, eliminating the need for manual statistics and generating indicators in real time, thus shortening analysis time. Furthermore, the configured display module enables traceable analysis, facilitating continuous improvement.
[0029] In this embodiment, as Figures 1-4 As shown, for TAT management in laboratory testing: First, the system synchronizes sample data from the LIS system, such as collection time, receipt time, testing time, and report review time; then, the raw data is cleaned, removing data with missing or unreasonable timestamps; then, the processed data is stored in a local database table; the display module calls the data through an interface, calculates the time spent in each time period, and displays it in real time on the monitoring screen. If an indicator exceeds its threshold, the indicator turns red as a warning. For TAT monitoring within the laboratory: The system records the time difference between "sample receipt → report review time," calculates the median / 90th percentile TAT for different groups / test items, and compares it with the set target value. Samples exceeding the threshold are highlighted in red on the system interface. For sample collection pass rate management: The system automatically identifies samples that do not meet the collection standards and are marked as "hemolysis / coagulation / collection volume / type, etc." in the collection registration information, and calculates the pass rate daily / weekly / monthly, generates a trend chart, and then displays the pass rate sorted by department / group.
[0030] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
