Medical Information Processing Apparatus Layout Direction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Structured medical interpretation reports face difficulties in being legibly integrated into health records due to inadequate layout adjustments, which can disrupt the relationships between information elements.
Innovation Solution
A medical information processing apparatus that dynamically adjusts the layout of structured information based on the content and relation information, ensuring that the pasted data maintains the integrity of the report's structure and relationships.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If the width of each description field of the health record is not sufficient, then the characters of the interpretation report decrease in size or the characters of one piece of information on one line decreases in number, but this results in illegibility
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the layout direction of pasted information from horizontal to vertical arrangement when the health record's description field width is insufficient. This dimensional change allows the same amount of information to be displayed without reducing character size or decreasing the number of characters per line, thereby maintaining legibility while accommodating limited display space.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the arrangement of pieces of information is changed to vertical or horizontal direction, then the layout adapts to display space, but this results in losing the relationships between the pieces of information expressed by relation information
Solution Approach 1:
The patent dynamically adjusts the layout direction based on the available display space while preserving the relationship information between pieces of data. The system determines whether horizontal or vertical arrangement is more suitable for maintaining the semantic relationships expressed by relation information, rather than using a fixed arrangement method. This dynamic adaptation ensures both layout flexibility and preservation of information relationships.
3Productivity
If structured interpretation reports are pasted into health records without layout adjustment, then the paste operation is simple, but the contents become difficult to understand due to inadequate layout
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary layout adjustment of the structured interpretation report before pasting it into the health record. The system pre-determines the optimal layout direction (horizontal or vertical) based on the health record's description field width and the relationship information between data elements. This preliminary action ensures that the pasted content is both easy to understand and properly formatted, without requiring manual adjustment after pasting.

AI summary
A medical information processing apparatus which processes structured information including a plurality of pieces of information obtained by classifying information about an imaging diagnosis and relation information indicating the relationships between the pieces of information includes an instruction unit configured to instruct pasting of the structured information, a decision unit configured to decide the layout direction of paste information in accordance with an instruction from the instruction unit, and a generating unit configured to generate paste data obtained by laying out the paste information in accordance with the layout direction, contents of the paste information, and the relation information.
