Healthcare Data Integration System for Dispensing and Medicine Taking Records
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional systems for managing dispensing information and medicine taking information in healthcare settings are inadequate, as they often fail to accurately integrate and manage data across different facilities, leading to incomplete diagnosis and potential medication contraindications.
Innovation Solution
A system that connects patient terminals, healthcare worker terminals, and electronic prescription servers to obtain, associate, and output integrated dispensing and medicine taking information, ensuring accurate data management and integration across facilities.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If dispensing information is stored only in the pharmacy server, then the pharmacy can manage its own data, but the medical facility cannot access complete dispensing information for accurate diagnosis
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the pharmacy server and medical facility server into a single integrated information management system. This allows dispensing information to be stored centrally while enabling both the pharmacy and medical facility to access complete data, resolving the information loss problem without significantly increasing operational complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The integrated information management system serves multiple functions: it stores dispensing information for the pharmacy, provides access to the medical facility for diagnosis, and enables communication between both parties. This multi-functional system eliminates the need for separate data silos while maintaining operational efficiency.
2Adaptability or versatility
If prescription information is changed to generics or modified by pharmacists, then the prescription can be optimized, but the original prescription information is lost and diagnostic accuracy decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system preserves the original prescription information before any modifications are made. By storing the baseline data in advance, the system enables both the original prescription details and subsequent pharmacist modifications to be retained, allowing for flexible optimization while maintaining diagnostic accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates and maintains copies of prescription information at different stages - the original prescription, the dispensed version, and any modified versions. This copying mechanism ensures that no information is lost during the prescription fulfillment process, and all versions remain accessible for diagnostic purposes.
3Reliability
If medicine taking information is not integrated with dispensing information, then the system is simpler, but diagnostic accuracy and medication safety are compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines medicine taking information and dispensing information into a single integrated database. This merging allows the system to provide comprehensive data for accurate diagnosis and medication safety monitoring while maintaining a unified, manageable system architecture rather than separate complex systems.
Data Source
AI summary
A non-transitory computer readable recording medium storing instructions to control a computer of an information processing apparatus that processes information obtained from a patient terminal connectable to a healthcare worker terminal and to an electronic prescription server that stores electronic prescription information and dispensing information, the instructions causing the computer to execute: obtaining, from the patient terminal, the dispensing information associated with the electronic prescription information; obtaining, from the patient terminal, medicine taking information on a patient; associating the dispensing information and the medicine taking information with each other and creating integrated information; and outputting the integrated information to the healthcare worker terminal or the patient terminal.
