Multi-Window Display Interface for Secure EHR Access
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is a need for a system and method that allows healthcare professionals to securely and quickly access electronic health records (EHRs) while also assisting in the presentation of information to patients in a way that enhances their understanding of their health.
Innovation Solution
A system comprising a first computing device with a camera, an access computing device, and a processor connected to both, along with a display and non-transitory computer-readable medium, which allows secure access to EHRs through scanning a predefined pattern and provides a user interface for presenting patient data in a way that can be easily understood by patients.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If healthcare professionals use digital screens to access EHR information, then access speed and efficiency are improved, but patient understanding and emotional interaction deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The display is segmented into multiple independent windows, each showing different aspects of patient information (EHR data, imaging results, patient education materials). This allows the healthcare professional to access comprehensive digital information efficiently while selectively sharing only relevant portions with the patient, maintaining both productivity and patient understanding.
Solution Approach 2:
Different regions of the display serve different functions: some windows are optimized for rapid professional access to detailed EHR data, while other windows are optimized for patient comprehension with simplified visuals and education materials. This local optimization resolves the contradiction between fast professional access and effective patient communication.
2Loss of information
If multiple types of patient information are displayed simultaneously, then comprehensive information access is improved, but security and error prevention deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by automatically organizing and pre-positioning relevant patient information across multiple windows before the healthcare professional needs to review it. This reduces the need for the professional to manually search through extensive EHR data, minimizing the time spent with potential security risks while ensuring all necessary information is readily available and properly contextualized.
Solution Approach 2:
The multi-window display system acts as an intermediary between the comprehensive EHR database and the healthcare professional. It selectively presents information in a structured, secure manner, filtering and organizing data to maintain security protocols while providing complete relevant information, thus resolving the contradiction between information completeness and security.
3Ease of operation
If smaller portable screens are used for patient information display, then portability and flexibility are improved, but patient attention and neural activity deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges the advantages of portable devices with large display capabilities by integrating multiple display windows into a single portable unit. This allows the healthcare professional to carry a compact device that can simultaneously present comprehensive patient information, imaging results, and education materials in an organized multi-window layout, maintaining portability while ensuring adequate patient attention through appropriate display sizing and organization.

AI summary
A system and method for securely displaying patient data within a plurality of display windows of a display user interface is provided. Generally, a user may activate an access computing device by logging into a user profile via a first user interface of a first computing device and scanning a predefined pattern of said access computing device using a camera of the first computing device. If the system recognizes the predefined pattern and the user profile has the appropriate permission levels, a computer readable signal containing login credentials may be sent to the access computing device, allowing the user to access data of the system. In some embodiments, a user may activate a display by logging into a user profile having appropriate permissions and scanning a predefined pattern of the display. The user may use user interfaces of the system to control a plurality of display windows within the display user interface.
