Abstract

Techniques for determining issues associated with a current state of an area of a healthcare facility are provided. In one example, a computer-implemented method comprises identifying an area of a healthcare facility included in image data captured of the healthcare facility, and characterizing aspects of a current state of the area of the area based on analysis of the image data, including determining object information characterizing objects included in the area. The method further comprises determining whether one or more of the aspects of the current state of the area deviate from a defined requirement for the area based on evaluation of the object information. Based on a determination that an aspect of the current state of the area deviates from the defined requirement for the area, the method can further comprise generating feedback information regarding the deviating aspect of the current state of the area.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A system, comprising:
 a memory that stores computer executable components;   a processor that executes computer executable components stored in the memory, wherein the computer executable components comprise:
 an environment characterization component configured to identify one or more medical supplies included in a healthcare environment based on image data captured of the healthcare environment; 
 an environment assessment component configured to determine supply cost information regarding a cost associated with usage of the one or more medical supplies at the healthcare environment; and 
 an augmented reality component configured provide overlay data comprising the supply cost information for projection on a display of a device over a current view of the environment as viewed on or through the display. 
   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the cost identifies a clinical success rate associated with usage of a first medical supply of the one or more medical supplies and a second clinical success rate associated with usage of an alternative medical supply. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the cost identifies a return on investment associated with the usage of the one or more medical supplies in the healthcare environment. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the environment assessment component is further configured to determine supply usage information regarding quantity or frequency of usage of the one or more medical supplies at the healthcare environment, and wherein the augmented reality component is configured to include the supply usage information in the overlay data. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the environment assessment component is further configured to determine supply status information regarding a current usage status of the one or more medical supplies, and wherein the augmented reality component is configured to include the supply status information in the overlay data. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the environment assessment component is further configured to determine supply availability regarding whether there is a surplus or deficiency in amount of the one or more medical supplies to meet a patient need at the healthcare environment, and wherein the augmented reality component is configured to include the supply availability information in the overlay data. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the environment characterization component is further configured to identify an employee of a healthcare organization included in the healthcare environment based the image data, wherein the environment assessment component is further configured to determine employee cost information regarding an employee cost associated with usage of the employee by the healthcare organization at the healthcare environment, and wherein the augmented reality component is further configured to include the employee cost information in the overlay data. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 7 , wherein employee cost identifies a return on investment associated with the usage of the employee by the healthcare organization. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 7 , wherein the healthcare environment comprises an operating room where a medical procedure is currently being performed on a patient by the employee, and wherein the employee cost comprises a procedure cost attributed to usage of the employee for the medical procedure. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the computer executable components further comprise:
 a rendering component configured to present the overlay data on the display and spatially align the overlay data with the one or more medical supplies.   
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 10 , wherein the display is integrated into an eyewear device. 
     
     
         12 . A method comprising:
 identifying, by a system comprising a processor, one or more medical supplies included in a healthcare environment based on image data captured of the healthcare environment;   determining, by the system, supply cost information regarding a cost associated with usage of the one or more medical supplies at the healthcare environment; and   providing, by the system, overlay data comprising the supply cost information for projection on a display of a device over a current view of the environment as viewed on or through the display.   
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein the cost identifies a clinical success rate associated with usage of a first medical supply of the one or more medical supplies and a second clinical success rate associated with usage of an alternative medical supply. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein the cost identifies a return on investment associated with the usage of the one or more medical supplies in the healthcare environment. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 12 , further comprising:
 determining, by the system, supply usage information regarding quantity or frequency of usage of the one or more medical supplies at the healthcare environment; and   including, by the system, the supply usage information in the overlay data.   
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 12 , further comprising:
 determining, by the system, supply status information regarding a current usage status of the one or more medical supplies; and   including, by the system, the supply status information in the overlay data.   
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 12 , further comprising:
 determining, by the system, supply availability regarding whether there is a surplus or deficiency in amount of the one or more medical supplies to meet a patient need at the healthcare environment; and   including, by the system, the supply availability information in the overlay data.   
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 12 , further comprising:
 identifying, by the system, an employee of a healthcare organization included in the healthcare environment based the image data;   determining, by the system, an employee cost associated with usage of the employee by the healthcare organization at the healthcare environment; and   including, by the system, the employee cost information in the overlay data.   
     
     
         19 . A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
 identifying one or more medical supplies included in a healthcare environment based on image data captured of the healthcare environment;   determining cost information regarding a cost associated with usage of the one or more medical supplies at the healthcare environment; and   providing overlay data comprising the supply cost information for projection on a display of a device over a current view of the environment as viewed on or through the display.   
     
     
         20 . The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of  claim 19 , wherein the cost identifies a clinical success rate associated with usage of a first medical supply of the one or more medical supplies and a second clinical success rate associated with usage of an alternative medical supply.
