Clinical workflows utilizing autonomous and semi-autonomous telemedicine devices

1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising program code that, when executed by a processor, performs a method for providing a remote telepresence patient visitation, the method comprising:

displaying a list of patients on a remote presence interface of a remote access device;

receiving a request from a user via the remote presence interface for a telepresence sessions with a selection of a plurality of patients from the list of patients;

directing a mobile telemedicine device to autonomously navigate to a first patient of the plurality of patients;

receiving patient data regarding the first patient from a patient data monitoring system;

populating a dashboard of the remote presence interface with the patient data related to the first patient, such that the patient data is viewable during a telepresence session;

in response to the telemedicine device reaching the first patient, initiating the telepresence session between the user and the first patient via the remote presence interface on the remote access device;

receiving, subsequent to initiating the telepresence session with the first patient, an indication that the user wishes to conclude the telepresence session with the first patient; and

directing, upon conclusion of the telepresence session with the first patient, the telemedicine device to autonomously navigate to a second patient of the plurality of patients.

2. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , further comprising:

in response to real-time data concerning a condition of a third patient, automatically directing the telemedicine device to the third patient before the second patient.

3. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , further comprising:

in response in response to patient data of a third patient triggering an alarm condition:

automatically dispatching the telemedicine device to the third patient; and

sending an invitation to a medical practitioner to begin a telepresence session with the third patient.

4. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , where directing comprises:

in response to detecting that the patient data of the first patient is being reviewed, automatically dispatching the telemedicine device to a location of the first patient.

5. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 4 , further comprising:

continuously updating an order of patients for the telemedicine device to visit based on real-time data relating to conditions of each of a plurality of patients.

6. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the patient data comprise at least one of vital signs, a waveform, and biometric data.

7. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving an indication that the user wishes to conclude the telepresence session; and

directing the telemedicine device to autonomously navigate to a docking station.

8. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , further comprising:

gathering patient data relating to the first patient; and

transmitting the patient data from the telemedicine device to the remote access device to be used in populating a remote dashboard of the remote presence interface on the remote access device, such that the patient data is viewable during the telepresence session.

9. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 6 , further comprising:

overriding an automatically-generated order for visiting one or more patients in response to a manual input.

10. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the dashboard is populated with patient data before the telepresence session.

11. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , further comprising:

sharing the patient data from the remote access device to a display associated with the telemedicine device viewable by a person in proximity to a bedside of the first patient.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , further comprising:

tracking an amount of time the telemedicine device is used in conjunction with a particular patient.

13. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , further comprising:

displaying statistics on the remote presence interface relating to one or more encounters with the first patient.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , further comprising:

documenting an encounter of the telemedicine device with a particular patient, wherein documenting comprises categorizing the encounter by at least one of type of visit, a type of person making the visit, an outcome of the visit, and a reason for the visit.

15. A method comprising:

displaying a list of patients on a remote presence interface of a remote access device;

receiving a request from a user via the remote presence interface for a telepresence sessions with a selection of a plurality of patients from the list of patients;

directing a mobile telemedicine device to autonomously navigate to a first patient of the plurality of patients;

receiving patient data regarding the first patient from a patient data monitoring system;

populating a dashboard of the remote presence interface with the patient data related to the first patient, such that the patient data is viewable during a telepresence session;

in response to the telemedicine device reaching the first patient, initiating the telepresence session between the user and the first patient via the remote presence interface on the remote access device;

receiving, subsequent to initiating the telepresence session with the first patient, an indication that the user wishes to conclude the telepresence session with the first patient; and

directing, upon conclusion of the telepresence session with the first patient, the telemedicine device to autonomously navigate to a second patient of the plurality of patients.

16. The method of claim 15 , further comprising:

storing a record of each of a plurality of patient visits in a memory of a telepresence robot, wherein each patient is identified by a unique identifier and the record includes:

an amount of time spent at each patient's bedside;

a category for each encounter with a patient;

usage information for a component of the telemedicine device; and

exporting the record.

17. The method of claim 15 , further comprising:

receiving an instruction by the telemedicine device to autonomously navigate to each of a plurality of patients starting at a specified time; and

for each patient of the plurality of patients:

navigating the telemedicine device autonomously to the first patient;

inviting a user to join a telepresence session; and

transmitting audio, video, and/or patient data to the user via the telepresence session.

18. The method of claim 15 , further comprising:

receiving an indication by the telemedicine device that a medical professional is needed to visit the first patient;

transmitting an invitation by the telemedicine device to the medical professional to join a telepresence session regarding the first patient; and

transmitting audio, video, and/or patient data to a remote access device to be viewed by the medical professional.

19. The method of claim 15 , further comprising:

receiving at the telemedicine device an indication that a medical professional is needed to visit the first patient;

displaying a list of available medical professionals; and

transmitting, by the telemedicine device, an invitation to a selected medical professional to join the telepresence session.

20. The method of claim 15 , further comprising:

transmitting, by the telemedicine device, an invitation to a user to join a telepresence session; and

transmitting audio, video, and/or patient data to the user via the telepresence session.
