Clinical Dashboard Interface for Faster EHR Order Entry
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems are complex and inefficient, leading to medical errors due to the lack of intuitive data display, difficulty in accessing relevant information, and inadequate integration of data across different systems, which complicates decision-making and communication among healthcare providers.
Innovation Solution
A data command center visual display system that integrates patient data from multiple sources, allowing navigation and display of essential information on a single interface, including adjustable panels and flowsheets, enabling direct ordering of medical procedures and medications, and providing clinical decision support through a rules engine and natural language processing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional EHR systems are used to store and display patient data, then data can be stored digitally, but the interface becomes complex and difficult to navigate, requiring multiple screens and menus to access relevant information
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the EHR interface into multiple customizable panels that can be independently configured and displayed simultaneously. Each panel presents specific types of patient information (demographics, clinical data, medications, etc.) in a structured format, allowing providers to access relevant data without navigating through complex menus or multiple screens.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal dashboard interface that can display multiple types of patient information and support various clinical tasks within a single unified view. The system allows customization of panel configurations to accommodate different provider needs and clinical scenarios, making the interface adaptable rather than requiring separate specialized interfaces for different functions.
2Loss of information
If multiple screens and menus are used to display comprehensive patient information, then all necessary data can be accessed, but the time required to navigate and make medical decisions increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple information displays that would traditionally require separate screens into a single integrated dashboard view. Relevant patient information from different data sources and categories is combined and presented simultaneously in customized panels, allowing providers to access comprehensive information without the time loss associated with navigating between multiple screens or menus.
3Loss of information
If detailed patient data is displayed across multiple interfaces, then comprehensive information is available, but communication and sharing of care among multiple providers becomes more difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal dashboard interface that can be customized for different providers while displaying the same comprehensive patient information. This allows multiple providers to access complete patient data in a consistent format, facilitating better communication and care coordination. The system supports sharing of this standardized view across different providers and care settings.
4Measurement precision
If complex EHR interfaces are used at the point of care, then detailed information is available, but caregivers are slowed down and distracted from meaningful face-time with patients
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments patient information into targeted panels that display only the most relevant data for the current clinical context. This reduces the cognitive load on providers by presenting information in organized, easily scannable formats rather than requiring navigation through complex interfaces, thereby maintaining data accuracy while improving care delivery efficiency and reducing distractions from patient interaction.
Data Source
AI summary
A computer implemented method of creating medical orders includes generating a dashboard display comprising one or multiple visible panels having data corresponding to different respective medical services, receiving a request to create an order in response to user interaction with a first one of the multiple panels, retrieving first medical information as a function of information associated with the panel from which the request was received, and populating a place order panel with the retrieved first medical information.
