Medical Information Management Apparatus with Attached Note Information
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current medical information management systems fail to effectively present medical advice to patients, as patients may not clearly understand the comments made by healthcare practitioners regarding their vital information, leading to poor viewability and comprehension of the advice.
Innovation Solution
A medical information management apparatus and system that allows healthcare practitioners to attach note information, such as annotations and explanations, directly to patient-input medical information displayed on a terminal, enabling easy understanding and visualization of the advice.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If medical advice is sent via separate email, then the system maintains simplicity in information delivery, but the patient cannot grasp the comments at a glance, reducing viewability and comprehension
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines medical advice comments with the original vital information display by attaching note information directly to the corresponding medical data items. This merging allows patients to view both the original data and the doctor's comments in one integrated interface, eliminating the need for separate email delivery and improving comprehension without significantly increasing system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary note information structure that bridges the original medical data and the doctor's advice. This note information acts as a mediator that links specific comments to corresponding vital information items, enabling patients to understand the advice contextually while maintaining a structured information delivery system.
2Loss of information
If detailed medical comments are provided to patients, then patient understanding improves, but the information becomes difficult to grasp at a glance, reducing viewability
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments medical advice into individual note information items that are attached to specific vital information items. Each note contains a specific comment or recommendation related to its associated data point, allowing patients to grasp information incrementally rather than overwhelming them with a large block of text. This segmentation maintains detailed information while improving readability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by providing specific, targeted comments at relevant locations in the information display. Instead of giving general advice, the system attaches notes directly to the specific vital information items they relate to, allowing patients to understand each piece of advice in its proper context and grasp the information more easily.
Data Source
AI summary
A medical information management apparatus includes a hardware processor. The hardware processor obtains first medical information that is input through a patient terminal used by a patient and that includes vital information of the patient; attaches note information to the first medical information being displayed on a display in accordance with a manipulation of an operation receiver by a healthcare practitioner; and outputs the first medical information to which the note information is attached.
