Solution Overview

Problem

Current hospital information systems lack the ability to flexibly combine clinical data from different specialties and patient characteristics, and their dashboards are not easily expandable, limiting the ability of medical staff to access and present patient information efficiently.

Innovation Solution

A patient information presentation method and electronic device that allow users to customize the layout and content of patient information cards on a dashboard by dragging and pinning them to desired positions, enabling flexible configuration and expansion of data presentation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a fixed combination of clinical items and dashboards is used, then the system structure is simple and stable, but the system lacks flexibility in combining clinical data from different specialties and patient characteristics

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveflexibility in combining clinical dataVSAvoidsystem structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The dashboard is segmented into multiple independent patient information cards, each representing a specific clinical item or data source. These cards can be independently selected, configured, and arranged, allowing flexible combination of clinical data from different specialties while maintaining manageable system complexity through modular design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system transitions from a fixed dashboard layout to a dynamic, user-configurable layout. Medical staff can drag and drop patient information cards to customize the dashboard according to their specific needs and preferences, enabling the system to adapt to different clinical scenarios and user requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If a fixed dashboard layout is used, then the system is easy to operate and maintain, but the dashboard is not easily expandable to include additional data

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedashboard expandabilityVSAvoiduser operation simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system provides pre-configured patient information card templates with common clinical data configurations. Users can start with these pre-prepared templates and then customize them as needed, reducing the effort required to expand the dashboard while maintaining ease of operation through template-based configuration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables end-users (medical staff) to independently configure and expand their own dashboards by selecting and arranging patient information cards according to their needs. This self-service capability allows dashboard expansion without requiring system administrator intervention or complex configuration procedures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Quantity of substance

If clinical data from multiple specialties is integrated, then the comprehensiveness of patient information increases, but the complexity of data management increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomprehensiveness of patient informationVSAvoiddata management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Clinical data from multiple specialties is segmented into discrete patient information cards, each representing a specific data source or clinical item. This segmentation allows comprehensive data integration while maintaining manageable complexity, as each card can be independently configured, updated, and managed without affecting other data sources.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
