Definitions

  • TITLE METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ACCESSING MEDICAL INFORMATION
  • the present application focuses on the information needs of three specific groups of medical information users: (1) medical researchers and research readers, (2) health professionals and (3) community users.
  • the medical researchers include research physicians or basic scientists who are interested in a particular medical or health topic.
  • the medical researcher group may also include academic, government and institutional research scientists.
  • the members of this group are generally interested in relatively few publications addressing a very narrow research area or topic that is at the cutting edge of their chosen field of expertise or area of interest.
  • Medical research readers in contrast, are a much larger group and have much broader reading interests. They include specialists who are not "bench" researchers, medical generalists and those reading outside their own field, and the lay community who are sufficiently familiar with medical and scientific language. It is this latter under-provided group that is largely being catered for here.
  • the health professional group includes practicing physicians and other health care professionals who are actively engaged in the care and treatment of patients and who may need the latest information available in particular health topic areas.
  • the health professional group may also include such health care professionals as nurses, dentists, osteopaths, physician assistants, pharmacists and therapists who have specialized information needs.
  • the community user includes those consumers or other individuals who have a serious interest in a particular health or medical topic or who are simply browsing for health or medical information. In some situations, the community user may also be a researcher, clinical practitioner, or health care professional who is interested in updating a specific topic or getting up to speed in a new area.
  • the traditional search of medical literature can be a highly individualized exercise, which reflects the interests, intuition, knowledge and experience of the individual.
  • the literature search may involve a physical review of various literature indexes or an electronic search resource such as the National Library of Medicine's MEDLLNE.
  • This search may be supplemented or supported by a review of introductory or background information contained in traditional medical texts and other reference sources.
  • this method might be used by a cancer researcher who wants to keep abreast of other areas of cancer research, or by the clinical physician who desires to stay abreast of developments or improve his or her knowledge in a particular area.
  • the community user who is interested in a particular area would use this same method despite the lack of the knowledge and experience of the physician or researcher.
  • the busy practicing physician is simply unable to devote significant time or effort to the time consuming task of reviewing and evaluating the content of original research articles and data on a regular basis.
  • their difficulties may be further compounded by a need for timely and concise information on the broader range of health topics and medical issues that are presented in the typical clinical or community practice environments.
  • Many of the information sources traditionally relied upon by practicing physicians are incomplete, fragmented or hopelessly out of date.
  • the information needs of the typical community member or consumer range from general information about a broad health topic to more specific information about various treatments or therapies.
  • the individual community user has an increasing need for timely and authoritative medical and health information.
  • medicine has become more technical and specialized, the physician has less time to spend with patients.
  • the increasing importance of managed care and health maintenance organizations (HMOs) has also restricted the time available for traditional consultation. The patient is increasingly left to his or her own resources.
  • the community or consumer user is faced with the same barriers of complexity and accessibility faced by researchers and health practitioners.
  • the community user may also face the additional limitations imposed by education, accessibility and time.
  • consumer and community users even highly educated individuals can experience substantial difficulty in obtaining and evaluating timely and authoritative health or medical information.
  • the traditional medical information resources e.g., such as professional journals, general interest publications, broadcast media programming, and medical texts, each have their own individual strengths and weakness.
  • Medical and health related publication might often be three to five years out of date between inception and publication.
  • the electronic versions of standard medical texts are often twelve to eighteen months out of date.
  • the information available from published sources is of uneven quality and is often unreliable.
  • the information presented by traditional broadcast media is increasingly suspect as "infotainment" or "infomercials.”
  • the content and quality of this material is also uneven and can be seriously tainted by non- medical considerations.
  • the Internet has recently made considerable quantities of information more accessible and available.
  • the Internet with its proliferation of health and medical websites is not a solution to the information problems faced by the medical community.
  • the volume and diverse character of Internet information is itself part of the problem because evaluating the various collections and sources of information on the Internet is fraught with uncertainty and risk.
  • high quality and reliable information is certainly available, other information can be dangerously dated or wildly inaccurate.
  • Figure 1 is a schematic representation of one embodiment of the database illustrating the organization thereof.
  • Figure 2 is a schematic representation of one embodiment of the method of the present invention.
  • Figure 3 is an example of a web page relating to Asthma illustrating one organization of the medical information for the medical practitioner.
  • Figure 4 is a web page relating to Asthma illustrating the common organization with Figure 3 but intended for the community user.
  • Figure 5 is an example of a web page for the medical practitioner relating to Bladder Cancer illustrating an organization common to Figures 3 and 4 for a different health topic.
  • Figure 6 is a web page relating to Bladder Cancer illustrating the common organization with Figure 3, 4 and 5 but intended for the community user.
  • Figure 7 is a pictorial illustration of a three information level database, illustrating some of the links between various domains and domain components.
  • the present invention uses a method of data management and organization to allow different types of users to access a common and authoritative source of medical information.
  • the method provides a continuously updated, multi- tiered approach to the organization and distribution of medical and health information so as to provide accurate and reliable health information and data on a timely basis.
  • the method also provides users of widely diverse ability, background and interest to access information from a common database that is organized and targeted to their specific needs, interest and capabilities.
  • the various medical topics are organized in a structural database that is specifically adapted for the particular needs of certain specified user groups. Because the individual members of each group have differing needs and capabilities, the information is organized and provided in a form that is specific to the needs and capabilities of each group of users.
  • the targeted users range from the most specialized medical researcher to the individual consumer of medical services.
  • the system and method performs the multiple tasks such as browsing, collecting and updating previously performed by the individual physician and health care professional, at a single click of the keyboard or mouse.
  • the first information level 100 contains information and resources for the researcher who is involved in basic or clinical research and has need for information regarding recent developments affecting a specific health topic or medical disorder.
  • the first information level also serves a much wider group as indicated above - specialists who are not "bench” researchers, medical generalists and those reading outside their won field, and the lay community who are sufficiently familiar with medical and scientific language.
  • the second information level 200 is targeted at those clinical practitioners and other health care professionals who may need current and authoritative information on specific health or medical topic. This level of information is typically the level at which a specialist would communicate with a fellow specialist or a generalist in a related or unrelated field, a complete understanding of the issues and decision making in the area in question.
  • the third information level 300 is targeted to the needs of the larger community who have an interest in a particular health or medical topic. Although each of these targeted user groups may have different objectives, interests and capabilities, they each share a common need for complete, authoritative and current information, and the method generally illustrated in Figure 2.
  • a plurality of individual health topics 10 to be included in the database are identified along with various medical disciplines or subcomponents 12 that are relevant to the selected health topics, such disciplines being further organized into sections such as The Disorder, Hospital Management, Research, Primary Care and Prevention. It should be noted that for the health topic being displayed at the top of the right-hand side pane of Figures 3 through 6, the three information levels, including electronic links to the two information levels not currently being displayed in the right-hand pane, appear underneath the corresponding health topic in the left-hand side pane.
  • a plurality of health topics will be identified 10.
  • a number of medical disciplines or subcomponent categories will be identified 12.
  • the identified medical disciplines may include such categories as epidemiology, etiology, genetics, pathology, natural history, history and physical examination, evaluation/differential diagnosis, diagnostics, laboratory tests, acute management, medical/surgical treatment,- hospital care, prognosis, best practice evidence base, treatments in development, chronic and long term care, psychological and social features, early detection and screening and risk factor evaluation and reduction.
  • Figure 2 illustrates one embodiment of the method. As illustrated in Figure 2, selected experts or specialists will initially select publications that are relevant to each identified health topic 14 and will provide a list of these research articles which are then made available in abstract and full text format at the three different information levels 16, 18, 20. A research guide (130 in Figure 1) that summarizes the idiosyncrasies and content of research in each identified research topic may also be prepared for research users.
  • health topic domain refers to a distinct medical topic or disorder such as heart disease or breast cancer.
  • Each health topic domain is further divided into a number of standardized components, twenty of which are illustrated in Figures 3 through 6. These components are selected to broadly match the organization and structure of the basic medical science and medical research literature and may be adjusted to accommodate the requirements of a specific database or user profile.
  • the first level 100 may contain a site index 110, a search engine 120, a one-page summary guide to research in each health topic 130, and the most important and relevant research for each identified health topic domain in full text and abstract format 140.
  • the content of the database will be continuously reviewed and updated so that new information will appear in the first information level of the database as articles are published.
  • links 150 will be provided to other electronic resources such as the above mentioned MEDLLNE and other selected websites, as well as to corresponding second and third level domain and domain components as discussed infra in connection with Figures 3 through 6.
  • the second level of information 200 is targeted to selected groups of medical and health care practitioners, with specific health topic information provided in at least two distinct formats.
  • One format is organized by specific topic domains and further subdivided into standardized domain components.
  • a second format presents the same material in a more user- friendly fashion with additional graphics. The contents of each health topic domain will be updated periodically so that recently published information will be incorporated into each domain and component domain as appropriate.
  • the third information level 300 is directed to the community user or consumer who will be able to access information on a broad medical topic such as heart disease or breast cancer.
  • the community level of information in the third information level will be distilled directly from the domain components that are provided to clinical practitioners and health care professionals on the higher information levels 100 and 200, e.g., an experienced primary care physician assisted by a communication specialist and a graphic artist may derive the substantive content of the third level domains and components directly from the content of the domains and components in the second level 200.
  • the common component structures of the second and third level domains, and the systematic editorial distillation of information, will facilitate the periodic and systematic updates of information and presentation in each domain and domain component.
  • the mapping of the community level domains and components to the domains and components of the higher information levels allows the electronic coupling of the information provided on the second and third information levels, and facilitates a component-by-component distillation, e.g., the etiology component domain of the Asthma domain at the third level of Figure 4 is linked directly to the corresponding etiology component of the second level Asthma domain illustrated in Figure 3.
  • the information provided to third information level 300 will be made available in at least two distinct presentation formats.
  • information will be organized by health topic domain and further subdivided into standard domain components.
  • the domain format the same material will be presented in a more user- friendly format containing additional explanatory text, graphics, models and diagrams. The appearance of the domain format will resemble traditional medical text.
  • the present invention allows each user to access a common medical database at a depth of detail and understanding that is most appropriate to the individual needs, interests and capabilities of the user.
  • the organization of the database permits the use of internal electronic cross-links that facilitate access to relevant information located elsewhere in the database.
  • electronic links will be provided between the various health topic domains and individual domain components of each of the information levels 100, 200 and 300. Additional links will also be provided from each health topic and component domain to corresponding health topic and domain components at the other information levels. The individual user may thus move easily between the different information levels of the database.
  • the information will be organized into an electronic database 22.
  • the database will contain at least three information levels, each level will have a plurality of topic domains and each topic domain will have a plurality of subdomains or domain components.
  • Each domain will be associated with a selected health topic 24.

  • the abstracts will be entered into the selected domains and subdomains in the database 26.
  • appropriate electronic links will be provided throughout the database 28.
  • the database will be remotely accessible by the Internet and electronic networks 30.
  • While the information presented in the lower information level 300 is desirably presented in the English language and at a high school level, other languages may be provided in an expanded or alternative database in other embodiments.
  • Figure 3 illustrates an exemplary web page for the domain Asthma in the third and lowest information level. Links to each topic domain on the same information level are provided along the side of the page. By clicking on one of the listed domains, a link is provided to each of the other domains, where a screen will provide in a suitable conventional manner links to each of the other information levels for that domain.
