Abstract
A method for dynamically obtaining a supply includes storing, in a main memory (115), identification of supplies used during a medical procedure: monitoring information from the medical procedure during the medical procedure: predicting, by a processor (152) executing instructions and based on monitoring the information, whether a supply that is not present should be obtained during the medical procedure, and obtaining the supply that is not present during the medical procedure based on predicting that the supply that is not present should be obtained.
Claims15
A method for dynamically obtaining a supply, the method comprising:
- storing, in a main memory, identification of supplies used during a medical procedure;
- monitoring information from the medical procedure during the medical procedure;
- predicting, by a processor executing instructions and based on monitoring the information, whether a supply that is not present should be obtained during the medical procedure, and
- generating an alert indicating the supply that is not present during the medical procedure based on predicting that the supply that is not present should be obtained.
A system for dynamically obtaining a supply, the system comprising:
- a central computer comprising a first memory that stores first instructions and a first processor that executes the first instructions;
- a main memory that stores identification of supplies used during a medical procedure;
- wherein, when executed by the first memory, the first instructions cause the central computer to:
- monitor information from the medical procedure during the medical procedure;
- predict, based on monitoring the information, whether a supply that is not present should be obtained during the medical procedure, and
- obtain the supply that is not present during the medical procedure based on predicting that the supply that is not present should be obtained.
A controller, comprising:
- a memory that stores instructions;
- and
- a processor that executes the instructions, wherein, when executed by the processor, the instructions cause the controller to:
- obtain identification of supplies used during a medical procedure;
- monitor information from the medical procedure during the medical procedure;
- predict, based on monitoring the information, whether a supply that is not present should be obtained during the medical procedure, and
- generating an alert indicating the supply that is not present during the medical procedure based on predicting that the supply that is not present should be obtained.
