Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of computer application technology for medical care information management, specifically to a personalized patient care information management system that does not require a caregiver. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, in medical institutions and care settings, patient care information is mostly managed using paper records, and it is difficult to synchronize and collaborate on information in real time among medical staff, caregivers, and family members, resulting in the following pain points:
[0003] The recorded information is limited in scope and cannot cover the personalized needs of patients, such as vital signs, medication use, and skin condition.
[0004] The lack of real-time information sharing among medical staff, caregivers, and family members can easily lead to deviations in care measures.
[0005] Different patients have different care needs, and family members have no right to approve or participate in the care plan, making it difficult to ensure that the service meets the patient's needs.
[0006] Temporary care information cannot be flexibly added and synchronized, affecting the accuracy of care. Summary of the Invention
[0007] In view of the technical deficiencies mentioned in the background art, the purpose of this invention is to provide a personalized patient care information management system that does not require accompanying care, aiming to at least partially solve one of the technical problems in the related art.
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, embodiments of the present invention provide a personalized patient care information management system, including a server and medical staff terminals, caregiver terminals, and family member terminals communicatively connected to the server; the server is configured with:
[0009] The information recording module is used to record the patient's basic care information and any temporary additional information.
[0010] The access control module is used to assign corresponding operation permissions to the medical staff, caregivers, and family members.
[0011] The collaborative interaction module is used to realize real-time synchronization of care information between the medical staff terminal, the caregiver terminal, and the family member terminal;
[0012] The approval module is used for:
[0013] The system receives care plans submitted by caregivers and pushes approval requests to family members. After the family members provide feedback on the approval results, the system synchronizes the information to both the caregiver and medical staff. The approval request includes the specific items, schedule, and expected goals of the care plan.
[0014] If the care plan is modified midway, the approval module will send a second approval request to the family member's end. The modified care plan can only be implemented after the family member's end approves it.
[0015] As a specific implementation of this application, the medical care terminal supports uploading corresponding dietary care content and risk assessment content, and synchronously feeding it back to the caregiver terminal, enabling caregivers to adjust care plans.
[0016] The caregiver's app has the authority to input daily care information and edit care plans.
[0017] As one specific implementation of this application, the family member's terminal supports the addition and recording of care needs, and synchronously feeds them back to the caregiver's terminal.
[0018] As a preferred implementation of this application, the patient personalized care-free information management system is further configured with an expansion module, which includes an expansion port for interfacing with external systems.
[0019] As a specific implementation of this application, the basic care information includes dietary preferences, medication time, and rehabilitation training progress; the temporarily added information includes vital signs, medication information, patient sleep status, excretion status, activity level information, skin condition, and information added based on the individual patient's situation.
[0020] As a specific implementation of this application, after the approval module pushes the second approval request, the family member's terminal needs to provide feedback on the approval result within a preset time period. If no feedback is provided within the time limit, a reminder notification will be automatically sent.
[0021] As a specific implementation of this application, the medical staff terminal has the permission to view and edit the care plan, and after reviewing whether the care plan meets the requirements of the doctor's orders and marking professional suggestions, it feeds back to the caregiver terminal.
[0022] As one specific implementation of this application, if the information recording module experiences information changes, an adjustment process for the care plan is triggered, the adjustment process including:
[0023] The caregiver modifies the care plan and notes the reasons for the adjustments;
[0024] Healthcare professionals quickly reviewed the professionalism and rationality of the revised documents.
[0025] After the family member approves the new care plan, it will be synchronized to all terminals.
[0026] As a specific implementation of this application, the server is also configured with a statistics module, which is used to generate a patient care progress report based on the information recorded by the information recording module and the daily care information entered by the caregiver, and push it to the medical staff terminal and the family terminal.
[0027] As one specific implementation of this application, the real-time synchronization includes:
[0028] The WebSocket real-time communication protocol is used to establish long-term connections between the server and each terminal, avoiding polling delays and ensuring that push notifications are triggered immediately after information is updated.
[0029] The LZ77 lossless compression algorithm is used to compress synchronized care information, reducing the amount of data transmitted and increasing the transmission rate.
[0030] A temporary cache pool is set up locally on each terminal to prioritize loading frequently accessed basic care information and only synchronize changes to existing differential data to avoid delays caused by full data transmission.
[0031] The technical solution provided by this invention records the patient's basic care information and temporary information through an information recording module. It covers basic information such as dietary preferences and medication time, and also includes personalized temporary information such as vital signs, skin condition, and sleep status. This enables the full-dimensional and dynamic recording of the patient's care information, providing complete data support for medical staff to formulate and adjust care plans.
[0032] By breaking down barriers to collaboration among multiple parties through the collaborative interaction module, the system addresses the information lag caused by the lack of real-time sharing among medical staff, caregivers, and family members, ensuring smooth connection of care measures and reducing deviations in care measures. At the same time, temporary care information can be flexibly added and synchronized, improving the accuracy of care.
[0033] Furthermore, it empowers family members with the right to approve and participate, making care services more tailored to their needs. Care plans and modifications must be reviewed and approved by family members before implementation, transforming family members from passively informed to actively involved. This effectively ensures that care services meet the individual needs of patients and the expectations of families, thereby increasing family members' satisfaction with care services.

Therefore, the phrases "in an embodiment," "in an embodiment," "an example," or "an example" appearing in various places throughout the specification do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, specific features, structures, or characteristics can be combined in one or more embodiments or examples in any suitable combination and / or sub-combination.
[0039] It should be noted that, unless otherwise stated, the technical terms used in this embodiment have the common meaning as understood in the relevant technical field.
[0040] Please refer to Figure 1 This invention provides a personalized patient care information management system, comprising a server and medical staff terminals, caregiver terminals, and family member terminals communicatively connected to the server; the server is configured with:
[0041] The information recording module is used to record the patient's basic care information and any temporary additional information.
[0042] The access control module is used to assign corresponding operation permissions to the medical staff, caregivers, and family members.
[0043] The collaborative interaction module is used to realize real-time synchronization of care information between the medical staff terminal, the caregiver terminal, and the family member terminal;
[0044] The approval module is used for:
[0045] The system receives care plans submitted by caregivers and pushes approval requests to family members. After the family members provide feedback on the approval results, the system synchronizes the information to both the caregiver and medical staff. The approval request includes the specific items, schedule, and expected goals of the care plan.
[0046] If the care plan is modified midway, the approval module will send a second approval request to the family member's end. The modified care plan can only be implemented after the family member's end approves it.
[0047] In this embodiment, the basic care information includes dietary preferences, medication time, and rehabilitation training progress; the temporarily added information includes vital signs, medication information, patient sleep status, excretion status, activity level, skin condition, and information added based on the individual patient's condition.
[0048] In practice, after the server completes its basic deployment, the administrator creates corresponding exclusive accounts for medical staff, caregivers, and family members through the backend. The permission management module automatically associates the corresponding role permissions; for example, medical staff can view / edit; caregivers can enter / create plans; and family members can view / approve. Family member accounts need to be linked and bound through the patient ID or hospital number to ensure targeted information delivery and thus protect privacy and security.
[0049] Multi-dimensional information entry and supplementation:
[0050] Caregivers can enter medication administration records daily through a caregiver's app (mobile app or computer), including medication name, dosage, time of administration, and whether the doctor's order was followed. They can also record rehabilitation training completion status, including training items, duration, and patient cooperation. Caregivers can manually input or synchronize patient vital signs such as temperature and blood pressure, as well as temporary information such as skin pressure sores, sleep quality, excretion status, and activity level through smart devices. If a patient experiences sudden discomfort (such as dizziness or skin allergies), temporary information can be added in real time, and an emergency label can be automatically added and synchronized.
[0051] Medical staff can upload targeted care requirements based on the patient's condition (such as postoperative recovery, diabetes, hypertension, etc.) through the medical staff terminal. They can also edit and modify the information entered by caregivers and add professional medical advice, such as skin care precautions, adding bed rail protection, and adjusting the direction of rehabilitation training.
[0052] That is, the caregiver's terminal has the permission to input daily care information and the permission to edit care plans;
[0053] The medical staff terminal supports uploading corresponding dietary care content and risk assessment content, and simultaneously feeding it back to the caregiver terminal, enabling caregivers to adjust care plans.
[0054] When using the app, caregivers edit care plans based on the patient's condition, medical advice, and previous care records through the caregiver's app, specifying care items (such as wound dressing changes and limb massage), specific time points (such as 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. daily), and expected goals (such as wound healing progress and muscle strength recovery). After editing, the plan is submitted to the approval module.
[0055] The approval module immediately sends the approval request to the family member via both APP push and SMS reminder. After logging into their account, the family member can view the plan details, confirm directly by clicking the "agree" button, or fill in specific needs in the "comments" box, such as adjusting the duration of rehabilitation training or changing the time of nursing care items, and finally submit.
[0056] In another embodiment, based on the above technical solution, the caregiver's terminal and / or the medical care terminal also support the function of uploading videos and pictures, so as to realize real-time feedback on the patient's actual situation and allow remote family members to see real-time dynamic changes.
[0057] If the family provides feedback for modification, the caregiver receives the reminder and revises the plan. After the revision is completed, it is submitted for a second approval. The plan is automatically marked as effective and synchronized to the medical staff's terminal for filing once the family approves it. After the approval module pushes the second approval request, the family needs to provide feedback on the approval result within a preset time period. If no feedback is provided within the time limit, a reminder notification will be automatically sent.
[0058] Meanwhile, the medical staff terminal has the permission to view and edit the care plan, and after reviewing whether the care plan meets the requirements of the doctor's orders and marking professional suggestions, it sends the feedback to the caregiver terminal.
[0059] During this process, the family member's terminal supports the addition and recording of care needs, and synchronously feeds them back to the caregiver's terminal; that is, family members can add care needs at any time through the family member's terminal, so as to achieve flexible addition and synchronization of care plans.
[0060] Real-time information sharing and synchronization: After all input, editing, and approval operations are completed, the collaborative interaction module will synchronize the updated information to all authorized terminals within 5 seconds via a server push mechanism. Healthcare workers can view all information, including original records, modification history, and approval records; caregivers can view the effective plans, patient status, and healthcare recommendations; and family members can see the approved plans and key patient status information (such as vital signs and care execution results), ensuring the accuracy and security of information sharing.
[0061] In practice, the real-time synchronization includes:
[0062] The WebSocket real-time communication protocol is used to establish long-term connections between the server and each terminal, avoiding polling delays and ensuring that push notifications are triggered immediately after information is updated.
[0063] The LZ77 lossless compression algorithm is used to compress synchronized care information, reducing the amount of data transmitted and increasing the transmission rate.
[0064] A temporary cache pool is set up locally on each terminal to prioritize loading frequently accessed basic care information and only synchronize changes to existing differential data to avoid delays caused by full data transmission.
[0065] If the information recording module changes during the execution of the plan, the adjustment process of the care plan is triggered. The adjustment process includes:
[0066] The caregiver modifies the care plan and notes the reasons for the adjustments;
[0067] Healthcare professionals quickly reviewed the professionalism and rationality of the revised documents.
[0068] After the family member approves the new care plan, it will be synchronized to all terminals.
[0069] Furthermore, the aforementioned personalized patient care information management system also includes an expansion module, which includes an expansion port for interfacing with an external system, such as a HIS system.
[0070] In another embodiment, based on the above technical solution, the server is further configured with a statistics module, which is used to generate a patient care progress report based on the information recorded by the information recording module and the daily care information entered by the caregiver, and push it to the medical staff terminal and the family terminal.
[0071] Specifically, the statistics module automatically summarizes the daily care data at 9 PM by default and generates a care progress report, which includes a list of completed care items, incomplete items and reasons, patient vital sign change curves, and the achievement of rehabilitation goals. The report is pushed to the medical staff and family members in a preset format (such as PDF). Medical staff can adjust the care plan for the next day based on the report, and family members can understand the overall care situation of the day through the report. In addition, the medical staff can manually trigger the generation of reports to meet the needs of emergency review or temporary query by family members.
[0072] During transmission, TLS 1.3 encryption is used to prevent data from being stolen or tampered with during transmission; the storage process uses AES-256 encryption algorithm, and sensitive patient information is encrypted and desensitized. Only the patient's unique virtual ID is retained in the system for data association, hiding privacy information such as real name and contact information. Only authorized medical staff can decrypt and query the information through specific permissions.
[0073] It also records the access behavior of all terminals, including the operator, operation time, operation content, terminal IP address, etc., supporting traceability and auditing to prevent unauthorized operations;
[0074] In addition, a multi-replica backup strategy is adopted, with a full backup of patient care data performed every morning and an incremental backup performed every hour. The backup data is stored on an encrypted off-site server, and data integrity is checked regularly to prevent data loss.
[0075] To facilitate a better understanding of this solution, the complete application process of this system is explained below, using a post-fracture rehabilitation patient as an example:
[0076] 1. Admission Assessment Information Entry: Caregivers enter basic patient care information through their own devices, including dietary preferences, medication schedules, and rehabilitation progress; medical staff upload dietary care content and risk assessment information, such as fall risk level II and pressure ulcer risk level I; caregivers simultaneously enter temporary information, including body temperature, blood pressure, wound condition, and pain score; wound condition information includes minimal exudate and no redness or swelling.
[0077] 2. Care Plan Development and Approval: The caregiver edits the care plan, with specific items including: daily wound dressing change at 9 am, passive joint mobilization training at 10 am, and lower limb massage at 3 pm, etc. The expected goals are: no wound infection one week after surgery, hip joint range of motion reaching 30°, and pain score reduced to 2 points, etc. After submission for approval, the family receives a push notification, reviews it, and suggests: adjust the passive training time to 4 pm to avoid the patient's lunch break. The caregiver revises the plan and submits it for a second approval. After the family approves it, the plan is simultaneously filed with the medical staff, who note: professional advice should be paid to ensuring that the hip joint flexion angle does not exceed 90° during training.
[0078] 3. Plan Execution and Temporary Adjustments: On the 3rd day post-surgery, the caregiver enters temporary information: the patient complains of increased wound pain, which triggers the plan adjustment process; the caregiver modifies the care plan, adding analgesic medication, and noting the reason for the adjustment: the patient's pain has worsened, requiring additional pain management intervention; the medical staff quickly reviews and confirms that it complies with the post-operative pain management orders, and provides feedback of "approved adjustment"; the family receives a second approval request, reviews the analgesic name, dosage, and administration time, and approves it, and the new plan is synchronized to the medical staff, caregiver, and family; the caregiver executes the new plan, and the information is synchronized to all terminals in real time.
[0079] 4. Care progress report push: At 9 PM on the same day, the statistics module generates a care progress report, showing that wound dressing has been completed, passive joint mobility training (to be performed at 4 PM) has been completed, analgesics have been taken and pain scores have decreased, and rehabilitation goal achievement is marked: pain control has been achieved, hip joint range of motion has not yet been tested, etc. After the report is pushed, the medical staff adjust the care plan for the next day based on the report, such as adding active joint training programs. Family members can understand the overall care of the patient that day and the pain relief through the report.
[0080] The above technical solution records patients' basic care information and temporary information through the information recording module. It covers basic information such as dietary preferences and medication time, and also includes personalized temporary information such as vital signs, skin condition and sleep status. This enables full-dimensional and dynamic recording of patients' care information and provides complete data support for medical staff to formulate and adjust care plans.
[0081] By breaking down barriers to collaboration among multiple parties through the collaborative interaction module, the system addresses the information lag caused by the lack of real-time sharing among medical staff, caregivers, and family members, ensuring smooth connection of care measures and reducing deviations in care measures. At the same time, temporary care information can be flexibly added and synchronized, improving the accuracy of care.
[0082] Furthermore, it empowers family members with the right to approve and participate, making care services more tailored to their needs. Care plans and modifications must be reviewed and approved by family members before implementation, allowing family members to shift from passively being informed to actively participating. This effectively ensures that care services meet the individual needs of patients and the expectations of their families, thereby increasing family members' satisfaction with care services.
[0083] By employing a dual design approach of initial and secondary approvals, combined with intermediate steps of medical and nursing professional review, a triple verification barrier is formed: caregivers ensure the plan's practicality, medical staff guarantee medical compliance, and family members confirm. Through multi-party collaborative approval, the deviation rate of care plans can be reduced, significantly lowering medical risks caused by inappropriate care measures, and resulting in a more prominent improvement in safety.
