Role-Based Surgical Support Checklists for Accurate Team Inputs
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing surgical support systems fail to efficiently manage and present check lists to operation team members, leading to potential confirmation errors due to unnecessary information presentation and decreased convenience when not all members perform check list inputs.
Innovation Solution
A surgical support system that allows controlled presentation and input of check lists based on the roles of operation team members, using processors to manage display and input permissions on terminals, ensuring only relevant members can update check lists.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If check lists are presented to all operation team members, then information completeness is improved, but information overload and confirmation errors increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by customizing check list display based on each member's role. Different operation team members receive different check lists tailored to their specific responsibilities rather than a universal check list. This ensures each member sees only relevant information, preventing information overload while maintaining completeness for each role.
Solution Approach 2:
The check list management is segmented by role. The processor divides the overall surgical checklist into role-specific check lists, allowing different members to manage and confirm different portions. This segmentation prevents confirmation errors by ensuring each member is responsible for specific items relevant to their function.
2Ease of operation
If all operation team members can input check list items, then input flexibility is improved, but input confusion and errors increase
Solution Approach 1:
Input permissions are customized according to each member's role. The system grants different input capabilities to different members based on their responsibilities. This allows flexible input within defined boundaries, maintaining ease of operation while preventing confusion through clear role-based permissions.
Solution Approach 2:
The processor provides feedback by controlling who can input what based on role. The system monitors and manages input permissions, ensuring only authorized members can modify specific check list items. This feedback mechanism maintains input accuracy while preserving necessary flexibility.
3Productivity
If role-based check list management is implemented, then operational efficiency is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The processor performs multiple functions: it manages check list generation, role-based filtering, permission control, and input validation through a single device. This multi-functionality achieves role-based management efficiency without proportionally increasing system complexity, as one component handles diverse tasks.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes parameters such as display content and input permissions based on role identifiers. By dynamically adjusting these parameters according to member roles, the system achieves operational efficiency without complex hard-coded logic for each scenario.

AI summary
A surgical support system includes a processor that establishes communication connection with a terminal. The processor performs processing of displaying a display screen on a terminal to present the display screen to a member other than a surgeon among operation team members via the terminal. The display screen includes a live image region in which a live image of surgery conducted by the operation team members is displayed, and a supplementary region in which information regarding a supplementary operation selected by selection and input by a member via a terminal is displayed, the selection being made from a plurality of supplementary operations for management of the surge.
