Integrated system for producing procedural data change sets communicated to client devices
An embodiment provides a method, including: communicating with a server to obtain a set of event data, said set of event data comprising timestamped event data; automatically determining, using a processor and without additional user input, a delta between said set of event data and a predetermined scheduling milestone, the delta resulting in an event gap; identifying, using a processor, one or more display elements impacted by the event gap; and updating, using the processor, the one or more display elements according to the delta; said updating comprising adjusting a visual characteristic of a display graphic in a schedule view to visually indicate the event gap. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
1. A method, comprising:
obtaining, via a server, a set of event data corresponding to a milestone, said set of event data comprising timestamped event data, wherein the obtaining comprises tracking, in real-time and utilizing at least an automated location tracking system comprising a plurality of tracking sensors, a patient procedure comprising the milestone;
automatically determining, using a central service implemented in the server and without additional user input, a delta between said set of event data and a predetermined scheduling milestone, the delta resulting in an event gap, wherein the automatically determining comprises the central service comparing the timestamped event data to predetermined timing data;
identifying, using the central service, one or more display elements impacted by the event gap; and
automatically updating, using the central service and in real-time during the patient procedure, the one or more display elements according to the delta, wherein the updating comprises generating a milestone indicator based upon identifying the event gap;
said updating comprising the central service sending instructions to a client device, the instructions adjusting, at the client device, a visual characteristic of a display graphic in a schedule view to visually indicate the event gap, wherein the adjusting comprises sending a communication via the server to the client device of the milestone indicator that causes the updating at the client device.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the display graphic is a bar graphic occupying a slot of a schedule.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the display graphic is a color graphic.
4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the display graphic is a numeric graphic.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising automatically identifying, using the processor, a schedule change based on the delta.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the automatically identifying the schedule change comprises automatically identifying another patient procedure capable of being performed in the event gap.
7. The method of claim 5 , further comprising implementing the schedule change and wherein the implementing is automated using the processor.
8. The method of claim 5 , wherein the schedule change is selected from a group of predefined scheduling changes and wherein each of the group of predefined scheduling changes is associated with a particular delta.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the event data comprises real time location data derived from a radio frequency identification (RFID) tracking device.
10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the event data comprises manual input data derived from a client device.
11. A system, comprising:
a memory storing instructions;
a processor configured to execute the instructions to:
obtain, via a server, a set of event data corresponding to a milestone, said set of event data comprising timestamped event data, wherein the obtaining comprises tracking, in real-time and utilizing at least an automated location tracking system comprising a plurality of tracking sensors, a patient procedure comprising the milestone;
automatically determine, using a central service implemented in the server and without additional user input, a delta between said set of event data and a predetermined scheduling milestone, the delta resulting in an event gap, wherein the automatically determining comprises the central service comparing the timestamped event data to predetermined timing data;
identify, using the central service and in real-time during the patient procedure, one or more display elements impacted by the event gap; and
automatically update, using the central service, the one or more display elements according to the delta, wherein the updating comprises generating a milestone indicator based upon identifying the event gap;
said update comprising the central service sending instructions to a client device, the instructions adjusting, at the client device, a visual characteristic of a display graphic in a schedule view to visually indicate the event gap, wherein the adjusting comprises sending a communication via the server to the client device of the milestone indicator that causes the updating at the client device.
12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the display graphic is a bar graphic occupying a slot of a schedule.
13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the display graphic is a color graphic.
14. The system of claim 11 , wherein the processor further automatically identifies a schedule change based on the delta.
15. The system of claim 14 , wherein the automatically identifying the schedule change comprises automatically identifying another patient procedure capable of being performed in the event gap.
16. The system of claim 14 , wherein the processor further implements the schedule change and wherein the schedule change is automated using the processor.
17. The system of claim 14 , wherein the schedule change is selected from a group of predefined scheduling changes.
18. The system of claim 17 , wherein each of the group of predefined scheduling changes is associated with a particular delta.
19. The system of claim 11 , wherein the event data comprises real time location data derived from a radio frequency identification (RFID) tracking device.
20. A program product, comprising:
a non-transitory storage device having code stored therein that, when executed by a processor, causes the program product to:
obtain, via a server, a set of event data corresponding to a milestone, said set of event data comprising timestamped event data, wherein the obtaining comprises tracking, in real-time and utilizing at least an automated location tracking system comprising a plurality of tracking sensors, a patient procedure comprising the milestone;
automatically determine, using a central service implemented in the server and without additional user input, a delta between said set of event data and a predetermined scheduling milestone, the delta resulting in an event gap, wherein the automatically determining comprises the central service comparing the timestamped event data to predetermined timing data;
identify, using the central service and in real-time during the patient procedure, one or more display elements impacted by the event gap; and
automatically update, using the central service, the one or more display elements according to the delta, wherein the updating comprises generating a milestone indicator based upon identifying the event gap;
said updating comprising the central service sending instructions to a client device, the instructions adjusting, at the client device, a visual characteristic of a display graphic in a schedule view to visually indicate the event gap, wherein the adjusting comprises sending a communication via the server to the client device of the milestone indicator that causes the updating at the client device.
