Solution Overview

Problem

Care provider promotional materials provided to users of telecommunication systems often inaccurately represent the expertise or experience of healthcare providers, leading to misleading information and potential malpractice incidents.

Innovation Solution

A telecommunication system and method that corroborates care provider data by comparing self-reported information with electronic health records and practice management data to ensure accuracy, using a host device to analyze and filter data for display on user devices, ensuring reliable quality metrics and complication measures.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If care providers self-report their expertise and experience data, then the quantity of promotional information available to users increases, but the accuracy and reliability of this information deteriorates due to potential misleading or inaccurate claims

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequantity of promotional informationVSAvoidaccuracy of care provider data
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements feedback by automatically verifying care provider self-reported data against objective sources (EHR systems, practice management data, third-party databases) and using this verification feedback to correct or flag inaccurate claims, thereby maintaining reliability while preserving information quantity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The telecommunication apparatus acts as an intermediary between care providers and users, introducing an independent verification layer that mediates the information flow by cross-checking self-reported claims against external data sources before presenting information to users

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If the system verifies care provider data by comparing with electronic health records and practice management data, then the accuracy of care provider qualifications improves, but the device complexity and data processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of care provider qualification assessmentVSAvoiddata processing system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The verification process is segmented into distinct functional modules: data collection from multiple sources, data normalization, verification logic, and presentation of verified information. This segmentation allows complex verification tasks to be managed through modular components that can be independently optimized

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-establishing verification criteria and pre-processing data from multiple sources before the actual verification occurs, reducing the complexity of real-time verification operations and enabling more accurate assessment

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Loss of information

If the system provides comprehensive verified information about care providers, then user decision-making quality improves, but the time required for information gathering and verification increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequality of user decision-makingVSAvoidtime for information gathering
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs verification and data gathering in advance before user queries, pre-processing and validating care provider information so that when users need the information, it is already ready for immediate presentation, thereby reducing user-facing time requirements

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The verification process operates continuously in the background as data from EHR and practice management systems becomes available, maintaining an up-to-date verified database without interrupting user interactions, thus providing comprehensive information instantly when needed

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

AI summary

Telecommunication systems and telecommunication devices can be configured for collecting and corroborating medical data obtained from at least one electronic medical record database via at least one network connection (e.g. the internet, an intranet, a local area network, a wide area network, etc.). Embodiments can be configured to corroborate data obtained to confirm user input that has been entered by a user is corroborated by other medical record documentation. Embodiments can help evaluate self-reported data provided by a care provider user to provide an objective evaluation of that data to minimize misrepresentative data or inaccurate data being utilized in conjunction with one or more telecommunication services that can be hosted by the system or device.
