Patient Data Display System for Real-Time Care Coordination
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Healthcare providers face challenges in managing and accessing patient-specific data in real-time, leading to increased error rates and missed opportunities for improving patient care due to the overwhelming volume and complexity of information, with existing systems failing to present relevant data effectively at the point of need.
Innovation Solution
A system that displays patient-specific data in real-time across multiple patients on a single interface, using quality and safety measure-specific specifications to identify potential oversights and provide color-coded care indicators, allowing caregivers to address quality issues promptly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If healthcare providers manually track and review patient data, then comprehensive data analysis can be performed, but the time required and human error increase exponentially
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an automated information system that acts as an intermediary between patient data sources and healthcare providers. This system automatically collects, integrates, and presents relevant patient data through standardized interfaces, eliminating the need for manual data tracking while maintaining data accuracy and reducing access time.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical system of manual data collection and review with an automated electronic information system. The system uses computers, networks, and software to automatically retrieve, process, and display patient data, substituting human manual efforts with automated technological processes.
2Loss of information
If all patient data is made accessible, then complete information is available, but relevant information is buried in a mountain of irrelevant information
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and presents only the relevant patient data needed for current care decisions. The system filters out irrelevant information while maintaining access to complete data sets, presenting information in a focused manner that highlights what is currently important without hiding the underlying completeness of the data.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies different levels of information presentation based on local needs - showing detailed comprehensive data when needed while providing summarized relevant information for routine decisions. The system adapts the level of detail and focus based on the specific care context and provider needs.
3Adaptability or versatility
If healthcare workers operate independently, then individual autonomy is maintained, but coordination and shared vision are lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal information system that serves multiple providers simultaneously while maintaining individual autonomy. The system provides a shared care plan and patient information accessible to all authorized providers, enabling coordinated care while allowing each provider to maintain their independent decision-making role.
Data Source
AI summary
Systems, methods, and computer-program products identify clinical data corresponding to a plurality of patients located within a common health care delivery unit, and apply one or more rules to at least some of the clinical data using at least one quality and/or safety measure-specific specification. Based on the application of the rules, one or more care indicators corresponding to the plurality of patients are displayed in a single interface, the one or more care indicators indicating whether one or more of the patients is receiving appropriate care.
