Data Command Center Visual Display for Single-Screen Patient Billing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional EMR systems are complex and cumbersome, leading to inefficiencies and medical errors due to the need for extensive navigation through multiple screens, lack of interoperability, and inadequate integration of patient data, billing, and insurance regulations, which distracts physicians from patient care and increases administrative burdens.
Innovation Solution
A data command center visual display system that integrates patient information, billing, and insurance data into a single display screen, allowing physicians to access and order procedures, view medical history, and navigate data without leaving the screen, utilizing adjustable display panels, ePrescribing, and clinical decision support systems.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If conventional EMR systems are used to manage patient data, billing, and insurance information, then comprehensive data management is achieved, but the system complexity and ease of operation deteriorate due to multiple screens and navigation requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges patient data, billing information, insurance regulations, and clinical decision support into a single unified display screen. This consolidation eliminates the need for physicians to navigate multiple screens and interfaces, while maintaining comprehensive data management. The unified interface presents all necessary information in an integrated manner, directly resolving the contradiction between complete data integration and interface simplicity.
2Loss of information
If comprehensive patient data and billing information are integrated into EMR systems, then information completeness is improved, but the time required to access and process information increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments and organizes comprehensive information into distinct display panels within a single screen, including patient data panels, billing information panels, insurance regulation panels, and clinical decision support panels. This segmentation allows physicians to access complete information without navigating through multiple screens, as all panels are simultaneously visible or easily accessible within the unified interface, thereby reducing access time while maintaining information completeness.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from a multi-screen three-dimensional navigation space to a single-screen two-dimensional display space. By organizing all necessary information panels within one comprehensive view, the system eliminates the need for physicians to move through multiple screens or windows, directly reducing access time while preserving complete information availability through strategic panel layout and integration.
3Loss of information
If EMR systems include multiple interfaces and navigation layers to manage complex data, then data management capability is improved, but productivity and ease of operation worsen due to increased administrative tasks
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines data management functions, billing operations, insurance compliance checks, and clinical decision support into a single unified interface. This merging eliminates the need for physicians to switch between multiple applications or screens, allowing them to manage all aspects of patient care and administrative tasks from one comprehensive display, thereby improving productivity while maintaining robust data management capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The unified display screen serves multiple functions simultaneously: it displays patient data, processes billing information, checks insurance regulations, provides clinical decision support, and enables ordering of procedures. This multi-functionality within a single interface eliminates the need for separate systems for each function, directly improving physician productivity by reducing the time spent navigating between multiple specialized interfaces.
4Loss of information
If physicians navigate through multiple screens to access patient information, then data accessibility is improved, but medical errors and reliability worsen due to distraction from patient care
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges all necessary patient information, billing data, insurance details, and clinical guidance into a single unified display that physicians can access without leaving the patient's side. This consolidation maintains complete data accessibility while eliminating the distraction of navigating through multiple screens, thereby improving reliability by reducing medical errors associated with interface complexity and physician distraction.
Data Source
AI summary
A data command center visual display system presents dynamic data to a display screen. The command center visual display system includes a plurality of adjustable display panels configured to display predetermined combinations of patient identification information, patient insurance information, patient medical history information, a patient's insurance billing regulations, preferred practice patterns, and patient payment information, and a patient flowsheet that integrates the patient medical history information and patient payment information into a table that presents the patient's medical history by visit to one or more physicians with respective procedures or actions performed during each visit represented as icons identifying the procedure performed and icons indicating whether the procedure has been paid for in part or in full, the icons providing links to associated medical history data and/or financial data. The respective procedures or actions may also be activated directly from the table or display panels without leaving the display screen. In response to selection by a user of the visual display system, the adjustable display panels and patient flowsheet are moved into a task-based or specialty-specific display configuration such that the patient identification information, patient insurance information, patient medical history information, and patient payment information may be accessed without leaving the display screen.
