Solution Overview

Problem

Caregivers face difficulties in efficiently navigating through voluminous and irrelevant medical records to extract relevant information for patient care, leading to inefficiencies in creating patient notes and subsequent visits.

Innovation Solution

A system and method for filtering medical information using a graphical user interface that allows caregivers to input parameters for filtering medical findings, including options to control the level of detail and amount of information displayed, enabling efficient retrieval of relevant medical data.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If caregivers review all medical records to find relevant information, then completeness of information review is improved, but time consumption and operational efficiency deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompleteness of information reviewVSAvoidtime consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts and displays only the most relevant medical findings from the patient's medical record based on the current visit's context. The interface automatically filters out irrelevant information and presents a condensed summary of key findings, allowing caregivers to quickly access essential information without reviewing the entire medical history.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary filtering and organization of medical records before the caregiver views them. Relevant findings are pre-identified and prioritized based on their importance to the current patient visit, so the caregiver receives a pre-curated list of essential information rather than having to manually search through all records.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Loss of information

If all medical information is displayed in detail, then information completeness is improved, but ease of operation and information processing deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation completenessVSAvoidease of information processing
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The medical information is segmented into hierarchical levels of detail. The interface presents a high-level summary of key findings first, with options to expand into more detailed information if needed. This segmentation allows caregivers to quickly grasp essential information and only drill down into specific areas when necessary.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different portions of the medical record are presented with different levels of detail based on their relevance to the current visit. Critical findings receive prominent display with full detail, while less relevant information is summarized or condensed, allowing the interface to allocate attention resources efficiently.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Reliability

If comprehensive medical records are maintained for future visits, then reliability of future care is improved, but device complexity and information management burden increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereliability of future careVSAvoidinformation management burden
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system introduces an intelligent filtering mechanism that acts as an intermediary between the comprehensive medical record database and the caregiver interface. This mediator automatically processes and prioritizes information based on the current visit context, maintaining full records for reliability while simplifying the presentation to reduce information management burden.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
