Patient Information Processing System for Comprehensive Condition Assessment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current patient information processing systems in medical institutions, while using vital data and scores like NEWS, lack comprehensive tools to support medical workers in determining patient conditions, as they do not adequately incorporate intervention data and treatment information.
Innovation Solution
A patient information processing method and system that obtains and displays vital data, treatment content, and intervention information, including a degree of medical worker intervention, to provide a comprehensive view of patient conditions, using a server and display terminal connected via a communication network, with calculated scores and visual indicators for quick assessment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If only vital data and vital scores are displayed on the patient information list screen, then the display is simple and easy to understand, but the medical worker cannot comprehensively determine the condition of the patient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the patient information display into multiple categories: vital data, vital scores, and intervention information. Each category is displayed as a separate section on the patient information list screen, allowing medical workers to access comprehensive information while maintaining organizational simplicity. The intervention information is further segmented into treatment content and time components.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adds a new dimension to the traditional vital data display by incorporating intervention information (treatment content and time) alongside vital data and vital scores. This dimensional expansion allows the system to represent not only the physiological state of patients but also the intervention history, enabling comprehensive condition determination without overwhelming the display.
2Adaptability or versatility
If intervention information and treatment details are added to the patient information display, then the comprehensive assessment capability is improved, but the information processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent designs the patient information processing system to handle multiple types of information (vital data, vital scores, intervention information) within a unified framework. The same display terminal and processing device accommodate all information types using consistent processing logic, avoiding the need for separate specialized systems for each data type and reducing overall processing complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system preliminarily organizes and structures intervention information (separating treatment content from time data) before displaying it on the patient information list screen. This preliminary organization reduces the complexity of real-time processing by pre-structuring the data format, allowing the display system to simply render pre-organized information rather than processing raw, unstructured data in real-time.
3Loss of information
If detailed treatment information and intervention levels are displayed for each patient, then the medical worker can comprehensively determine patient condition, but the time required for information processing and display increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the intervention information into distinct components: treatment content (what intervention was performed) and time (when it was performed). This segmentation allows the system to process and display each component efficiently, reducing the time required to handle comprehensive information by processing smaller, organized data units rather than large unstructured blocks.
Solution Approach 2:
The system displays the most critical intervention information (treatment content and time) on the patient information list screen, while more detailed intervention records can be accessed through additional interfaces or functions. This partial display approach provides sufficient information for comprehensive assessment without the time cost of processing and displaying every possible detail immediately.

AI summary
The patient information processing method includes a step of obtaining a plurality of pieces of vital data of a patient, a step of obtaining information indicating a content and a time of a treatment performed on the patient, and a step of causing a display to display information indicating at least one of the plurality of pieces of vital data or an index associated with the plurality of pieces of vital data, and to display information indicating the content and the time of the treatment.
