Solution Overview

Problem

Current advances in medicine and healthcare have not directly translated to improved patient satisfaction, as patients may view care unfavorably even with positive medical outcomes if their experience does not meet their expectations.

Innovation Solution

A system that automatically stores and correlates event data from various electronic devices and patient perception data to determine proposals for improving patient satisfaction, utilizing a processor and output devices to convey these proposals and potentially adjust services or amenities based on the correlations found.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If medical outcomes are improved through advances in medicine and healthcare, then patient health results are better, but patient satisfaction does not necessarily improve because patient experience may still fail to meet expectations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemedical outcomeVSAvoidpatient satisfaction
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements feedback by collecting patient perception data through surveys and correlating it with event data from electronic devices. This feedback loop enables identification of specific factors influencing patient satisfaction and allows healthcare facilities to adjust services and amenities accordingly, directly addressing the gap between medical outcomes and patient experience

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system acts as an intermediary between medical outcomes and patient satisfaction by introducing data collection, analysis, and correlation mechanisms. It mediates the relationship by identifying specific experience factors that influence satisfaction, enabling targeted improvements without compromising medical quality

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of operation

If patient perception data is collected and analyzed to improve patient satisfaction, then patient experience can be enhanced, but system complexity increases due to multiple electronic devices and data processing requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepatient satisfactionVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system achieves universality by creating a multi-functional platform that performs data collection from multiple electronic devices, patient survey administration, data correlation analysis, and recommendation generation. This single integrated system handles diverse functions that would otherwise require separate systems, managing complexity through consolidation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements self-service through automated data collection from electronic devices and automated correlation analysis between event data and perception data. The system autonomously identifies satisfaction factors and generates improvement proposals without requiring extensive manual intervention, reducing operational complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
