Existing resident care management solutions are labor-intensive, lack electronic automation, and fail to provide customized interfaces and escalation procedures for users, leading to inefficiencies in information flow and notification management.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for personalized resident care management that includes a central controller connected to user devices via a network, which authenticates users based on their roles and modifies information layouts accordingly, generates notifications, and distributes them in formats tailored to user profiles and locations, ensuring timely escalation of actionable items.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If manual processes are used for care management, then simplicity of implementation is maintained, but labor intensity increases and information flow efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables automated self-service functionality where the care management system automatically processes information flow, generates notifications, and manages task assignments without requiring manual intervention for each operation. The electronic system performs authentication, role-based interface modification, and notification distribution automatically, eliminating the need for manual information exchange while maintaining operational simplicity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual mechanical processes with an electronic automated system. The electronic system uses processors to authenticate users, retrieve roles, modify interfaces, and distribute notifications automatically. This substitution eliminates paper-based manual processes and human-to-human information transfer, significantly improving information flow efficiency while the centralized electronic architecture keeps system complexity manageable.
2Ease of operation
If a single interface is provided to all users, then system simplicity is maintained, but user customization and role-specific efficiency are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements local quality by providing customized user interfaces tailored to each user's specific role. When a user logs in, the processor retrieves their role information and modifies the interface to display only relevant information and controls for that role. For example, clinical staff see clinical tools while administrative staff see scheduling interfaces, making each interface optimized for its specific user group without requiring multiple separate systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The user interface is made dynamic rather than static. The system automatically adapts the interface configuration based on the logged-in user's role, retrieving role-specific layouts and information displays. This dynamic adaptation allows a single system to provide multiple customized interfaces, improving ease of operation for each user while maintaining a unified underlying system architecture that manages complexity.
3Productivity
If notifications are not automatically distributed, then system complexity is reduced, but information flow continuity and caregiver efficiency are compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements automated feedback loops where actions taken by users trigger automatic notification distributions. When a user completes a task or generates an actionable item, the system automatically notifies relevant caregivers and stakeholders. This feedback mechanism ensures continuous information flow without manual intervention, maintaining productivity while the automated notification engine manages complexity by using standardized communication protocols.
4Reliability
If no escalation procedure is implemented, then system simplicity is maintained, but task completion reliability and timely fulfillment are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements preliminary action by establishing pre-defined escalation procedures and time limits for task completion. When actionable items are not fulfilled within specified timeframes, the system automatically escalates them to appropriate personnel based on pre-configured role hierarchies. This preliminary setup of escalation rules ensures reliable task completion without requiring complex real-time decision-making, as the escalation paths are predetermined and automatically executed.
Data Source
AI summary
Disclosed are systems and methods for personalized care management. The method includes collecting login credentials of a user. The login credentials are checked and the user is authenticated accordingly. Then, user profile of the user is accessed to determine a specific role of the user. Based on the specific role of the user, a user interface is presented on a user device of the user. The user interacts with the user interface by providing at least one voice input including a request. Further, a notification is generated based on the voice input of the user for at least one user. The at least one user provides at least one voice input including a response for the user via a user interface on at least one user device of the at least one user. The response is presented to the user through the user interface.
