Drag-and-Drop Medical Report Template Builder
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current systems for reporting medical information lack the ability to create customizable and user-friendly templates for generating reports and letters, limiting the flexibility and personalization of medical data presentation.
Innovation Solution
A method is introduced that allows users to drag and drop content items, including graphs, onto a template section of a display, enabling the resizing and scaling of graphs, and selecting information for inclusion, with the option to save and preview templates before generating reports or letters.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If users are provided with fixed pre-defined report templates, then the system is simple to operate, but the customization flexibility and personalization capability are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The report template is segmented into multiple draggable content items (graphs, tables, text blocks) that can be independently selected, moved, and arranged. This allows users to build customized reports by assembling discrete components rather than working with fixed monolithic templates, resolving the contradiction between customization flexibility and system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
A drag-and-drop interface acts as an intermediary between the user and the report generation system. This intuitive interaction mechanism enables users to create customized templates without needing to understand complex underlying systems, thus providing adaptability while maintaining ease of operation.
2Adaptability or versatility
If users can freely customize report templates by selecting and arranging content items, then the personalization capability is enhanced, but the ease of operation decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The drag-and-drop interface serves as an intuitive intermediary that simplifies the template creation process. Users can visually select content items from a palette and arrange them on the template by dragging and dropping, providing an easy-to-use mechanism that enhances personalization capability without sacrificing user-friendliness.
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides self-service functionality where users can independently create and customize their own report templates using the drag-and-drop interface. This empowers users to personalize reports according to their specific needs without requiring assistance from system administrators or technical support, thereby enhancing both personalization capability and ease of operation.
3Loss of information
If multiple content items are provided for selection, then the report content completeness is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The report content is segmented into distinct, categorizable content items (graphs, tables, text blocks) that can be independently selected and arranged. This segmentation allows comprehensive report content to be organized in a structured manner, improving content completeness while managing interface complexity through logical grouping and categorization of elements.
Data Source
AI summary
A system and method for creating a template configured to generate reports for reporting medical information. The method allows a user to generate a single template that may be then utilized in order to create a plurality of reports for numerous patients. The template is created by dragging and dropping the desired information onto a blank report. Once the desired format of the template has been set by the user, the user may save the template for future use.
