Agent Application Map Display for Clinical Event Location Visualization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional EHR and agent applications face challenges in displaying locations of clinical events, leading to information overload and strain on computing resources, making it difficult for healthcare workers to visualize and identify patterns or recommend facilities effectively.
Innovation Solution
An agent application that retrieves patient health records from multiple sources, transmits facility identifiers to a mapping system, and displays clinical events on a map, allowing healthcare workers to visualize facility locations and patterns, thereby facilitating better decision-making.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If the agent application displays identifiers for healthcare facilities in a list format, then the application can present location information, but the list becomes long and difficult for the healthcare worker to read
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the one-dimensional list display into a two-dimensional map display. Instead of presenting facility identifiers in a linear text list, the system displays geographic locations on a map interface, allowing healthcare workers to visually perceive locations and relationships spatially. This dimensional change resolves the contradiction by maintaining complete location information while dramatically improving readability through visual spatial representation.
2Loss of information
If the agent application requires selection of identifiers to display clinical event information, then detailed information can be accessed, but navigating between multiple clinical events places a strain on computing resources and is burdensome on the healthcare worker
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a filtering mechanism that allows healthcare workers to view summarized clinical event information directly on the map without requiring sequential selection of each facility identifier. The system displays relevant clinical event details alongside location markers, providing partial information upfront that can be expanded if needed. This approach reduces navigation time and computing resource strain while maintaining access to complete clinical event information when required.
3Loss of information
If the agent application accesses patient health records from multiple electronic sources, then comprehensive patient data can be gathered, but the complexity of integrating data from different healthcare organizations increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs an agent application as an intermediary layer between multiple electronic health record systems and the user interface. The agent gathers data from various healthcare organization systems, standardizes the information format, and presents it through the unified map interface. This intermediary approach maintains comprehensive patient health record collection while reducing integration complexity by handling data normalization and coordination within the agent layer, isolating the complexity from both the source systems and the user interface.
Data Source
AI summary
An agent application executing on a computing device identifies a patient health record for a patient based upon an identifier for the patient. The patient health record comprises an identifier for a healthcare facility at which a clinical event of the patient occurred and information about the clinical event. The agent application transmits the identifier for the healthcare facility to a mapping computing system that retrieves a map of an area encompassing the healthcare facility based upon the identifier for the healthcare facility. The map includes a marker that marks a location of the healthcare facility. Responsive to receiving the map, the agent application causes a graphical indicator to be included in the map proximate to the marker, the graphical indicator including the identifier for the healthcare facility and the information about the clinical event. The agent application causes the map to be displayed on a display.
