Electronic Follow-up Form Management in Health Systems
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current medical follow-up systems rely on handwritten forms, which are inefficient for data collection and processing, especially for patients with chronic diseases, as they do not facilitate data transmission or systematic health data management.
Innovation Solution
A health management system with a follow-up form management method that includes a scale making tool for generating follow-up forms, a follow-up creation module for creating tasks, and a patient management module for managing patient information, enabling electronic creation, execution, and storage of follow-up tasks and forms.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If handwritten forms are used for medical follow-up, then the system is simple to operate, but data collection efficiency is low and data transmission is not facilitated
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical handwritten form system with an electronic form management system. The scale making tool interface allows users to create electronic follow-up forms with multiple fields and target elements, which are then stored and managed in a database. This substitution enables efficient data collection, automatic data transmission, and systematic health data management, resolving the contradiction between simplicity and efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates electronic copies of traditional paper forms through the scale making tool. The system generates digital versions of follow-up forms that can be repeatedly used, modified, and distributed electronically. This copying approach maintains the familiar form structure while enabling efficient data collection and transmission without requiring physical paper handling.
2Loss of information
If electronic follow-up forms are implemented, then data transmission and health data management are improved, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal form management system where the scale making tool can create various types of follow-up forms for different medical scenarios. The system integrates multiple functions including form creation, storage, retrieval, and data collection into a single platform. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate systems while improving data transmission and management capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a database as an intermediary between the form creation interface and the data collection process. The database stores form templates and collected data, facilitating efficient data transmission and management. This intermediary layer simplifies the overall system architecture by centralizing data storage and retrieval operations.
3Loss of time
If manual form filling is used, then the system is easy to operate, but time consumption increases and follow-up process is not simplified
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by pre-configuring follow-up forms with multiple fields and target elements through the scale making tool. Form templates are created in advance with all necessary data collection points defined, eliminating the need for manual form setup during each follow-up encounter. This preliminary configuration significantly reduces follow-up process time while maintaining ease of operation through template reuse.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent enables self-service through automated form generation and data collection. The system automatically generates follow-up forms based on pre-configured templates, eliminating manual form creation efforts. The electronic forms can be automatically distributed to patients and their responses automatically collected and stored, reducing both time consumption and operational complexity.
