Mobile Device Management Server for Clinical Data Access
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Integrating mobile devices into enterprise systems, particularly in healthcare settings, is complex due to the need for simplified control and management of process pathways and data usage, while ensuring compliance with regulations like HIPAA.
Innovation Solution
A system that utilizes a backend server to manage and control mobile device functionalities through a mobile device management server, allowing for fungible devices with restricted and unrestricted user interface modes, enabling secure access to clinical data and processes via a patient module framework.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If mobile devices are integrated into enterprise systems, then device functionality and data communication capabilities are improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a mobile device management server as an intermediary component that mediates between the mobile devices and the enterprise system. This server handles the complexity of device integration, authentication, and data communication, allowing mobile devices to be seamlessly integrated without increasing overall system complexity. The intermediary absorbs the complexity of managing diverse device functionalities while presenting a simplified interface to the enterprise system.
2Productivity
If mobile devices are used for data entry and workflow management, then productivity is improved, but security and compliance control become more difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic control over mobile device functionalities through different user interface modes. The system can dynamically switch between restricted and unrestricted modes based on the operational context and security requirements. This dynamic adjustment allows the system to maintain high productivity by enabling full device functionality when needed while ensuring security compliance by restricting access to sensitive data and functions when required, thus resolving the contradiction between productivity and security.
3Ease of operation
If multiple user interface modes are implemented, then ease of operation is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal user interface framework that supports multiple user interface modes (restricted and unrestricted) within a single system architecture. This multi-functional interface design allows the same basic interface structure to adapt to different operational requirements, providing ease of operation through flexibility while avoiding the complexity of maintaining separate interface systems. The universal framework handles mode transitions and functionality switching through a unified mechanism rather than multiple independent systems.
Data Source
AI summary
A system for presenting a clinical process of a patient in a clinical facility having a network, a system backend communicable with the network, and at least one mobile device communicable with the system backend, the mobile device comprising a mobile processor and a display, the mobile processor configured to operate in at least one first user interface mode and at least one second user interface mode, where the mobile processor is configured to enable the operation of at least one built-in function when operating in the at least one first user interface mode and where the mobile processor is configured to disable the operation of the at least one built-in function when operating in the at least one second user interface mode. The mobile processor operating in the at least one second user interface mode is configured to present a list of one or more patients each with a corresponding clinical process, each patient listing configured to re-enable access to the at least one built-in function associated with the corresponding clinical process of the listed patient.
