Blockchain Property Collection for Global Patient Record
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current healthcare systems face challenges in consolidating and sharing patient data across disparate sources due to different data formats and lack of incentives for data sharing, leading to incomplete patient records and inefficient data access.
Innovation Solution
A system utilizing a blockchain-based, immutable electronic health record storage system with a transaction blockchain API, serialization, and deserialization modules to organize and correct patient data by generating a Global Patient Record through Property Collection management, which includes an Execution Context Property Path for accessing and serializing data efficiently.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If healthcare providers operate their own data systems with unique formats and processes, then each provider maintains data control and security, but data consolidation and sharing across providers becomes impossible
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal data exchange standard that enables multiple healthcare providers with different proprietary systems to share and consolidate patient data. The standardized format acts as a common interface that maintains compatibility across diverse data sources, allowing the system to serve multiple functions: preserving individual provider data control while enabling cross-provider data aggregation and interoperability.
2Adaptability or versatility
If patient data is stored in disparate EHR databases with different formats, then each data generator maintains its own data structure, but a complete patient picture cannot be realized
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges data from multiple disparate EHR databases into a unified patient record by implementing a standardized data exchange format. This consolidation process combines information from various healthcare providers while maintaining data integrity, creating a complete patient picture that integrates clinical information, laboratory results, and other health data from different sources into a single coherent record.
3Reliability
If there is no incentive for patient data generators to share data, then data security and provider autonomy are maintained, but data access and retrieval become inefficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a standardized data exchange mechanism that acts as an intermediary between data generators and data consumers. This intermediary framework enables efficient data retrieval by providing a common protocol for accessing patient information across different healthcare systems, improving productivity without compromising security, as the standardization layer handles data exchange while maintaining provider autonomy and data protection.
Data Source
AI summary
A system and method of property collection management and architecture that can organize patient data while maintaining context is presented. The present disclosure provides for a database system implementing a ‘Property Collection’ as a collection of ‘property name’ and ‘property value’ pairs, which are used to describe a ‘data entity.’ Further, the present disclosure can provide for historical access to data to track data changes. The present disclosure solves the technological problem of accessing data having differing data for the same person. The immutable electronic health record data storage system solves the aforementioned technological problem by providing a blockchain, transaction blockchain API, serialization module, and a deserialization module, among others that can format, process, and store data in a Global Patient Record (GPR).
