Clinical Assessment Interface for Faster Patient Data Review
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Medical providers often lack timely and comprehensive patient information during clinical visits, leading to inefficiencies and suboptimal care due to limited access to electronic medical records and time constraints.
Innovation Solution
A clinical assessment tool that provides a user interface for medical providers, offering real-time patient information, including potential diagnoses, medication management, gaps in care, and clinical recommendations, using machine learning to assist in decision-making and streamline interactions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If medical providers rely on traditional electronic medical records managed by the provider's own office or hospital, then access to patient information is maintained within the provider's control, but the quantity and comprehensiveness of available patient information is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary system (the clinical assessment tool platform) that mediates between the patient's comprehensive health data and the medical provider. This intermediary aggregates data from multiple sources including electronic medical records, lab results, imaging, and patient-reported outcomes, then presents it in a structured format that the provider can efficiently review during the clinical visit.
2Reliability
If medical providers spend more time reviewing comprehensive patient information, then the quality of patient care improves, but the time available for other clinical tasks and patient interactions is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-aggregating, pre-processing, and pre-organizing patient information before the clinical visit. The clinical assessment tool generates a customized summary that highlights critical findings, trends, and areas needing attention, allowing the provider to have a head start on reviewing essential information during the limited visit time.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the comprehensive patient information into distinct categories and priorities. The clinical assessment tool divides data into sections such as vital signs trends, laboratory results, imaging findings, medication information, and patient-reported outcomes, with critical items highlighted. This segmentation enables the provider to quickly scan for high-priority items while maintaining an overview of the complete patient picture.
3Loss of information
If medical providers have access to comprehensive patient data from multiple sources, then the completeness of patient information improves, but the time required to access and process this information increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple previously separate information sources into a single integrated view. The clinical assessment tool combines data from electronic medical records, laboratory systems, imaging archives, patient portals, and other health information systems into one unified interface. This consolidation maintains data completeness while eliminating the need for the provider to manually query multiple separate systems.
Data Source
AI summary
Techniques are described herein that provide relevant information associated with a patient to a medical provider. In some instances, the relevant information may be provided to the medical provider during a clinical visit with the patient, such as via an application managed by a service provider. In some instances, the relevant information may be provided to the medical provider at another time, such as that associated with a referral submission. The relevant information may be provided via one or more interfaces associated with an application. In some instances, the interface(s) may guide the medical provider through a clinical visit to maximize a level of care provided to the member and minimize an amount of time associated with the clinical visit.
