Dynamic Narrative View Generation for Medical Documentation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current object-oriented computer programming for medical documentation is inefficient in generating predictable and complete narrative views due to the large number of concept types and their combinations, leading to difficulties in customizing narrative templates and maintaining syntax rules, which results in unpredictable output and potential safety issues.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for creating nested relationships between high-level and child objects in a documentation template hierarchy, allowing for dynamic concept type agnostic medical narrative generation, using concept type agnostic methods to generate narrative views based on template hierarchy levels and end-user entries, simplifying the process of building and customizing medical documentation templates.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If object-oriented computer programming with concept types is used for medical documentation, then structured content documentation is achieved, but the narrative output becomes unpredictable and customization becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and removes the concept type layer from the documentation system. Instead of using object-oriented programming with concept types that create unpredictable narratives, the system directly documents medical information in a structured format that generates predictable, readable narratives without requiring complex concept type mappings.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal documentation template hierarchy that can handle both structured and non-structured medical information without requiring different concept types. This multi-functional approach allows the same template structure to accommodate various documentation formats, eliminating the need for complex concept type-specific syntax rules.
2Adaptability or versatility
If custom narrative templates are attempted with concept types, then customization capability is provided, but the large number of concept types and syntax rules make template generation impossible
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the documentation template into a hierarchical structure with template levels, sections, and elements. This segmentation allows customization at multiple levels without requiring complex concept type combinations. The template hierarchy can be customized independently for different medical documentation needs without being constrained by a large number of concept types.
3Adaptability or versatility
If concept type specific syntax rules are developed for each new concept type, then comprehensive documentation coverage is achieved, but the time and effort for maintenance increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal template hierarchy that can accommodate various types of medical documentation without requiring new syntax rules for each concept type. The template structure is designed to be flexible enough to handle diverse medical information while maintaining a consistent, maintainable rule set.
Solution Approach 2:
The system allows templates to be customized and configured without requiring extensive manual setup or complex rule development. The template hierarchy structure enables automatic generation of appropriate documentation formats, reducing the time and effort required for both initial setup and ongoing maintenance.
4Reliability
If conventional medical documentation methods are used, then structured content is documented, but non-structured content and custom narrative views cannot be effectively generated
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal template hierarchy that can handle both structured and non-structured medical information within the same framework. The template structure accommodates various content types without requiring separate documentation systems, enabling flexible generation of custom narrative views while maintaining reliability for structured content.
