Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If multiple physician metrics and data sources are integrated to provide comprehensive performance analysis, then the quality and depth of insights improve, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments physician performance data into distinct categories (value metrics, quality metrics, quantity metrics) and processes each separately before integration. This allows comprehensive analysis while managing complexity through modular data handling and presentation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary analytics platform that sits between multiple data sources and the user interface. This intermediary layer consolidates, processes, and standardizes data from various sources, reducing the complexity burden on both data collection and presentation layers.
2Loss of information
If detailed physician performance data and multiple metrics are displayed, then the information completeness improves, but the ease of operation and decision-making decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The interface segments comprehensive physician performance data into organized categories (value, quality, quantity metrics) with clear visual hierarchies. This segmentation allows complete information display while maintaining ease of operation through structured presentation and focused views.
Solution Approach 2:
Different sections of the interface provide different levels of detail and aggregation appropriate to local needs. The system allows users to drill down from summary views to detailed metrics, providing local quality of information matching the specific analytical need at each interface level.
3Measurement precision
If the system integrates data from multiple sources to create comprehensive physician profiles, then the measurement accuracy improves, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs intermediary data processing layers that standardize and harmonize data from multiple sources before integration. This intermediary approach maintains measurement accuracy while reducing the complexity of direct multi-source integration by creating unified data structures and validation rules.
Data Source
AI summary
The technology provides for utilizing and displaying physician analytics. For example, a result metric for a physician is based on a value metric, a quality metric, and/or a quantity metric. The value metric, quality metric, and/or quantity metric may all be received from different sources. The result metric may be displayed on a chart, or the result metric may be utilized for determining referral recommendations for a physician. The result metric may be displayed as a physician indicator on the chart. An insight for the physician may also be determined from the result metric. The insight may be based on the location of the physician indicator on the chart, and the insight may be represented by the color or other visual attribute of the physician indicator. For referral recommendations, the result metric may be used to adjust the rank of a physician in a referral search result.
