  • Publication number: 20220285017
    Abstract: Systems and methods for improving operating room utilization are disclosed herein. Ins some implementations, the method includes retrieving historical statistics of usage rates for an operating room, predicting an estimate of how much time will be unused during a future time block based on the historical information and a planned schedule, and generating a recommendation for the unused time in the estimate. In some implementations, predicting the estimate includes constructing one or more regression models based on the historical statistics. In such implementations, each of the one or more regression models can identify a relationship between the planned usage rate and the actual usage rate based on a different modeling technique. Once the estimate is obtained, the recommendation for the unused time can be based at least partially on an identification of one or more intervals in a future time block that are associated with an open operating room.

  • Patent number: 8799305
    Abstract: There is provided a system and method for optimized filtered data feeds to capture data and send to multiple destinations. There is provided a system comprising a memory and a processor. The memory has a database associating data feed patterns to one or more of a plurality of destinations. The processor captures data from a data feed having a data feed destination, stores the data in the memory, compares the data feed with the data feed patterns in the database to determine matched patterns, retrieves one or more destinations associated with the matched patterns, and sends the data to the data feed destination and the retrieved destinations. There is also provided a system comprising data feed sources, destinations, a network connected to the data feed sources and the destinations, and a server configured to intercept and route network traffic on the network, the server including a memory and a processor.

  • Patent number: 8209362
    Abstract: There is provided a method of managing a plurality of data files using a plurality of schemas. The method comprises selecting a first schema from the plurality of schemas, determining current data files of the plurality of data files with respect to the first schema, identifying an outdated data file of the plurality of data files with respect to the first schema, selecting a transform file configured to transform the outdated data file into a current data file with respect to the first schema, transforming the outdated data file into a current data file with respect to the first schema by applying the transform file to the outdated data file. The method may further comprise validating the current data file against the first schema after transforming the outdated data file. The data files, schema, and transform file may comprise, respectively, an XML file, an XSD file, and an XSLT file.
