Systems and methods for procedure optimization

A system for facilitating optimization of procedures, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more hardware storage devices storing instructions that are executable by the one or more processors to configure the system to:
• receive a document comprising a body of text, the body of text comprising a procedure;
• detect one or more procedural steps associated with the procedure using a procedural step detection module having been trained to detect procedural steps within bodies of text;
• automatically search within a corpus of references for one or more related procedural steps using a related procedural step extraction module having been trained to identify related procedural steps based on content of detected procedural steps, the one or more related procedural steps being determined by the related procedural step extraction module to be relevant to the one or more procedural steps;
• in response to identifying the one or more related procedural steps, automatically identify one or more outcomes within the corpus of references associated with the one or more related procedural steps using an outcome extraction module having been trained to identify outcomes that are associated with identified procedural steps;
• automatically determine whether the one or more outcomes comprise detrimental results using an outcome analysis module having been trained to identify one or more results associated with identified outcomes and determine whether the one or more results are detrimental;
• and
• in response to determining a set of detrimental outcomes from the one or more outcomes that comprise detrimental results, generate a modified document that includes a detriment indicator in association with the one or more procedural steps, the detriment indicator indicating that the one or more procedural steps are associated with detrimental outcomes.

A method for facilitating optimization of procedures, comprising:

• receiving, within a user interface, user input for creating or modifying a body of text comprising a procedure;
• detecting one or more procedural steps associated with the procedure using a procedural step detection module having been trained to detect procedural steps within bodies of text;
• automatically searching within a corpus of references for one or more related procedural steps using a related procedural step extraction module having been trained to identify related procedural steps based on content of detected procedural steps, the one or more related procedural steps being determined by the related procedural step extraction module to be relevant to the one or more procedural steps;
• in response to identifying the one or more related procedural steps, automatically identifying one or more outcomes within the corpus of references associated with the one or more related procedural steps using an outcome extraction module having been trained to identify outcomes that are associated with identified procedural steps;
• automatically determining whether the one or more outcomes comprise detrimental results using an outcome analysis module having been trained to identify one or more results associated with identified outcomes and determine whether the one or more results are detrimental;
• and
• in response to determining a set of detrimental outcomes from the one or more outcomes that comprise detrimental results, presenting a detriment indicator within the user interface in association with the one or more procedural steps, the detriment indicator indicating that the one or more procedural steps are associated with detrimental results.
