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. 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 presented to a clinician via a virtual simulation device; and
based on interactions received from the clinician and outcomes during the virtual simulation corresponding to the adjusted various factors of the virtual simulation, reallocating resources outside the virtual simulation corresponding to the event.

2. The computerized method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving contextual information for the event.

3. The computerized method of claim 2 , further comprising, 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.

4. The computerized method of claim 1 , further comprising identifying contributing factors for the event.

5. The computerized method of claim 4 , further comprising weighting the contributing factors for the event.

6. The computerized method of claim 5 , further comprising creating the virtual simulation of the event using the three dimensional modeling and the weighted contributing factors.

7. The computerized method of claim 1 , wherein adjusting the various factors in the virtual simulation of the event enables alternative scenarios to be created for the virtual simulation.

8. The computerized method of claim 1 , further comprising enabling the clinician to change perspectives among the characters during the virtual simulation.

9. The computerized method of claim 1 , further comprising modifying a protocol corresponding to the event based on outcomes of the virtual simulation.

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

11. The computerized method of claim 1 , further comprising automatically scheduling a follow-up visit with the clinician or a follow-up virtual simulation based on outcomes of the virtual simulation.

12. The computerized method of claim 1 , wherein the collected data includes: 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.

13. 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:
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 alerts or thresholds outside the virtual simulation corresponding to the event.

14. The media of claim 13 , wherein the alerts or thresholds are modified using machine learning.

15. The media of claim 13 , 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.

16. The media of claim 13 , further comprising receiving contextual information for the event.

17. The media of claim 16 , further comprising, 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.

18. The media of claim 13 , wherein the collected data includes: 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:
utilize 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;
adjust 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, automatically scheduling a follow-up visit with the clinician or a follow-up virtual simulation.

20. The system of claim 19 , further comprising:
receiving contextual information for the 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;
identifying contributing factors for the event;
weighting the contributing factors for the event; and
creating the virtual simulation of the event using the three dimensional modeling and the weighted contributing factors.
