MEDICAL FACILITY MATCHING SYSTEM, MEDICAL FACILITY MATCHING METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240105318 titled 'MEDICAL FACILITY MATCHING SYSTEM, MEDICAL FACILITY MATCHING METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a medical facility matching system that uses patient and facility attribute items to recommend a suitable medical facility for a patient.
- Matching processing unit performs matching processing to select a recommended medical facility based on patient and facility attribute items.
- Data learning unit learns about patient and facility attribute items to improve the matching result.
- Data item choosing unit selects patient and facility attribute items for the matching processing based on the learning result.

- Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in healthcare systems to efficiently match patients with the most suitable medical facilities based on their needs and preferences.
- Problems Solved
1. Streamlining the process of matching patients with medical facilities. 2. Ensuring that the recommended medical facility is likely to be approved by both the patient and the facility.
- Benefits
1. Improved patient satisfaction with the recommended medical facility. 2. Increased efficiency in the healthcare system. 3. Better utilization of medical facilities.
- Potential Commercial Applications
Optimizing patient-facility matching in healthcare systems for improved patient outcomes and operational efficiency.
- Possible Prior Art
Prior art in this field may include existing systems or methods for matching patients with medical facilities based on specific criteria.

- Unanswered Questions
- How does the system handle cases where the patient's preferences are not fully matched with the recommended medical facility?
The system may provide alternative recommendations or allow for patient feedback to improve future matches.
- What measures are in place to ensure the privacy and security of patient and facility attribute information used in the matching process?
The system likely employs encryption, access controls, and other security measures to protect sensitive data.
Original Abstract Submitted
a medical facility matching system () comprises: a matching processing unit () performing matching processing to select as a matching result, a recommended medical facility for a patient based on patient item information (d) corresponding to patient attribute items (di) and facility item information (d) corresponding to facility attribute items (di); a data learning unit () learning about the patient attribute items for the matching processing so that the matching result is likely to be approved by the patient, and learning about the facility attribute items for the matching processing so that the matching result is likely to be approved by the medical facility selected; and a data item choosing unit () choosing based on a learning result, the patient attribute items and facility attribute items for the matching processing, wherein the matching processing is performed based on the chosen patient attribute items and the chosen facility attribute items.
