Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to systems, methods, and user interfaces that generates and renders virtual environments for display using a VR system (e.g., on a display of a VR headset). Virtual reality is leveraged to create immersive experiences that enables users to experience clinical processes, train staff through new protocols, and gain empathy through a variety of complex scenarios. Initially, contextual information is initially received for an event. Based on the contextual information of the event, data collections is triggered from a clinical system and an environment system for data occurring before and after the event. Utilizing the collected data, a three dimensional modeling of a timeline of event, characters associated with the event, and dialogue corresponding to the event can be recreated. After contributing factors are identified and weighted for the event, a virtual simulation of the event can be created.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. One or more computer storage media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that, when executed by a computer, causes the computer to perform operations, the operations comprising:
receiving contextual information for an event;
based on the contextual information of the event, triggering data collection from a clinical system and environment system for data before and after the event;
utilizing the collected data, recreating a three dimensional modeling of a timeline of event, characters associated with the event, and dialogue corresponding to the event;
identifying contributing factors for the event;
weighting the contributing factors for the event;
creating a virtual simulation of the event using the three dimensional modeling and the weighted contributing factors; and
modifying a protocol outside the virtual simulation corresponding to the event based on outcomes of the virtual simulation.

2. The media of claim 1 , further comprising presenting the virtual simulation to the user via a virtual simulation device.

3. The media of claim 2 , further comprising enabling a user to change perspectives among the characters during the virtual simulation.

4. The media of claim 1 , further comprising adjusting the contributing factors of the event to create alternative scenarios for the virtual simulation.

5. The media of claim 1 , further comprising reallocating resources corresponding to the event based on outcomes of the virtual simulation.

6. The media of claim 1 , further comprising modifying alerts or thresholds corresponding to the event based on outcomes of the virtual simulation.

7. The media of claim 1 , further comprising scheduling a follow-up visit with a clinician or a follow-up virtual simulation based on outcomes of the virtual simulation.

8. The media of claim 1 , wherein the contextual information includes physical space data collected via audio sensors, autonomous robots, or other room sensors.

9. The media of claim 1 , wherein the contextual information includes electronic health record data collected from an electronic health record.

10. The media of claim 1 , wherein the contextual information includes adverse event data.

11. The media of claim 1 , wherein the contextual information includes patient safety data.

12. A computerized method comprising:
utilizing collected data for an event, recreating a three dimensional modeling of a timeline of event, characters associated with the event, and dialogue corresponding to the event;
adjusting various factors in a virtual simulation of the event, the virtual simulation based on the three dimensional modeling; and
based on interactions received from a clinician and outcomes during the virtual simulation corresponding to the adjusted various factors of the virtual simulation, modifying a protocol outside the virtual simulation corresponding to the event.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the protocol is modified using machine learning.

14. The method of claim 12 , wherein the virtual simulation is recorded to expose insights into processes, errors, or near misses.

15. The media of claim 14 , wherein the insights into processes, errors, and near misses of the recording are utilized to modify the protocol corresponding to the event.

16. The media of claim 12 , wherein the adjusted factors include resource allocation.

17. The media of claim 12 , further comprising enabling a user to change perspectives among the characters associated with the event during playback of the virtual simulation.

18. The media of claim 12 , wherein the collected data includes one or more of: physical space data collected via audio sensors, autonomous robots, or other room sensors, electronic health record data collected from an electronic health record, adverse event data, or patient safety data.

19. A system comprising:
a processor; and
a computer storage medium storing computer-usable instructions that, when used by the processor, cause the processor to:
receive data from an environment system for a setting;
compare the data to previous events corresponding to the setting;
based on threshold being exceeded, provide an alert or risk assessment to a user;
receive feedback from the user indicating whether the alert or risk assessment adjusted clinician behavior or was inaccurate; and
based on the feedback, modify a protocol outside a virtual simulation corresponding to the event.
