Solution Overview

Problem

Current electronic nursing record systems are inefficient for medical students, requiring significant time to input notes and often relying on handwritten records due to the complexity of adapting to computerized systems.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus using generative artificial intelligence to automatically input electronic nursing records, which includes selecting a user interface, inputting text based on predefined nursing note items, cleaning and tokenizing the text, fine-tuning it for accuracy and context, and finally inputting the refined text into the electronic nursing record system.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If manual input of nursing records is used, then accuracy can be maintained, but time consumption increases significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of nursing record inputVSAvoidtime to input nursing records
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables self-service by having the AI model automatically generate nursing records based on patient data and nursing protocols, eliminating the need for manual data entry while maintaining accuracy through automated validation and context-aware generation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical manual typing process with an automated AI-based text generation system that uses natural language processing and machine learning models to produce nursing records instantly from structured patient information

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Productivity

If electronic nursing record systems are introduced, then productivity improves, but ease of operation decreases for medical students

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespeed of nursing record recordingVSAvoidease of use for medical students
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The AI model serves as an intermediary between the complex electronic nursing record system and the user, automatically translating raw patient data into properly formatted nursing records, thereby simplifying the interface and reducing the learning curve for medical students

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary action by pre-processing patient data, organizing it according to nursing protocols, and pre-formulating appropriate nursing diagnoses and interventions before the user needs to enter the record, thus simplifying the user's task

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Adaptability or versatility

If handwritten medical records are used, then adaptability to different settings is maintained, but time consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to different hospital settingsVSAvoidtime to transcribe and input records
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system changes the parameter of record format from handwritten text to structured electronic data, enabling automatic processing while maintaining adaptability through configurable templates that can be adjusted to different hospital protocols and settings

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
