Risk-Based Healthcare Protocol Presentation System
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current healthcare protocols presented to users via mobile and web applications do not adequately consider the risk of miscomprehension, as they do not assess or mitigate the risks associated with the information provided, potentially leading to incorrect treatment or protocols being followed.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that analyze healthcare protocols for risk levels and reformat content for presentation based on determined risk thresholds, adding warnings, visual elements, or requiring acknowledgment to reduce user miscomprehension, ensuring safer presentation of treatment protocols.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If healthcare protocols are presented as simple snippets or summaries to users, then ease of operation and user accessibility are improved, but reliability and risk of miscomprehension worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically changes presentation parameters (format, detail level, visual elements) based on the risk level of the healthcare protocol. High-risk protocols are presented with enhanced parameters including detailed formatting, visual warnings, and mandatory acknowledgment, while low-risk protocols use simpler formats.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces an intermediary risk assessment layer between the healthcare protocol and the user. This intermediary evaluates the protocol content and determines the appropriate presentation format, acting as a mediator that adapts the information delivery based on assessed risk levels.
2Reliability
If detailed healthcare protocols are presented to users, then reliability and completeness of information are improved, but device complexity and processing requirements worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments healthcare protocols into discrete analyzable units and evaluates each segment's risk level independently. This allows the system to apply different presentation strategies to different parts of the protocol, reducing overall processing complexity while maintaining reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The system applies full detailed presentation and processing only to the portions of protocols that exceed risk thresholds, while using simplified presentation for lower-risk portions. This partial action approach reduces overall system complexity while maintaining reliability where needed.
3Reliability
If risk assessment and reformatting processes are implemented, then reliability and safety of protocol presentation are improved, but productivity and response time worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary risk assessment and formatting decisions in advance, caching reformatted versions of high-risk protocols. When users request protocols, the pre-assessed and pre-formatted content is delivered immediately, eliminating real-time processing delays while maintaining safety.
Solution Approach 2:
The system merges the risk assessment function with the content delivery function into a unified process. By combining these operations and using cached results, the system reduces the total time required while ensuring reliability through integrated risk management.
Data Source
AI summary
A system and method of visually displaying healthcare protocols to a user receives from the user, via an electronic communications network, search term(s) associated with a health-related condition. A corpus of document(s) stored in an electronic format is identified with a computer and, based on the search term(s), at least one of the document(s) is analyzed with the computer for a treatment protocol associated with the health-related condition. First content for presentation to the user is determined with the computer, the first content including at least a portion of the treatment protocol associated with the health-related condition. A risk value indicative of risk(s) associated with the first content is determined. In response to a determination that the risk value exceeds the risk threshold, second content for presentation is determined by reformatting the first content. A message is sent causing the second content to be visually displayed to the user.
