Multidevice Collaboration Dashboard Synchronization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Healthcare providers face challenges with incorrect patient medical records being viewed due to clinicians forgetting to switch charts when moving locations, and difficulties in collaborating on dashboards due to missing input devices or security concerns.
Innovation Solution
A system that provides notifications when the wrong chart is open for a location, prompts clinicians to synchronize with the correct dashboard, transfers control of the dashboard to the clinician's device, and allows sharing of personalized views and perspectives among clinicians.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If clinicians use mobile devices to access patient records, then accessibility and convenience are improved, but the risk of viewing wrong patient charts increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides automatic feedback by detecting clinician location through GPS or other location services and comparing it with the currently displayed patient chart. When a mismatch is detected, the system alerts the clinician that they may be viewing the wrong patient's records, allowing them to correct the error before proceeding.
Solution Approach 2:
The system takes preliminary action by proactively preventing wrong chart access before it can cause harm. Location-based detection and alerting mechanisms are activated continuously to stop potential errors before they occur, rather than reacting after an error has happened.
2Measurement precision
If peripheral devices are required to control dashboards, then control precision is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates due to missing devices
Solution Approach 1:
The system replaces the mechanical control system (mouse and keyboard) with a touch-based interface on mobile devices. Clinicians can directly interact with the dashboard by touching the screen to select options, pan, zoom, and control dashboard functions without needing external peripheral devices.
Solution Approach 2:
The mobile device serves multiple functions: it acts as both the display medium and the control interface for the dashboard. The same touchscreen device that displays patient information also provides all necessary control capabilities, eliminating the need for separate peripheral devices.
3Reliability
If personalized dashboard views are restricted for security reasons, then patient data security is improved, but collaboration capability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments dashboard access rights by creating role-specific views that different clinicians can access. Each clinician receives a personalized dashboard tailored to their role and permissions, while still allowing controlled sharing of specific views with authorized colleagues. This segmentation maintains security while enabling necessary collaboration.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces an intermediary layer of controlled sharing mechanisms that mediate between security restrictions and collaboration needs. Authorized clinicians can request to share their personalized views with specific colleagues, and the system manages this sharing through permission-based access controls, allowing collaboration while maintaining security boundaries.
Data Source
AI summary
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for multidevice collaboration are provided. In embodiments, indications are provided on a device that a wrong chart is open for a location. A clinician is prompted to synchronize a chart with a dashboard associated with the location. Control of the dashboard is transferred to the clinician utilizing the device.
