Classification: CPC A  G | IPC A  G

Claim 0:
1. A surgical system comprising:
a plurality of surgical devices configured for use during a plurality of surgical procedures performed by a plurality of surgical personnel across a medical network, wherein each surgical device of the plurality of surgical devices is configured to generate signals associated with perioperative data generated during a surgical procedure; and
a surgical hub configured to be communicably coupled to the plurality of surgical devices, the surgical hub comprising:
a processor; and
a memory coupled to the processor, the memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the surgical hub to:
receive a first signal associated with perioperative data from the generated by a first surgical device of the plurality of surgical devices;
determine a surgical context based at least in part on the perioperative data associated with the first signal;
determine a procedural variable associated with the surgical context;
determine a baseline for the procedural variable based on data aggregated from the plurality of surgical devices, wherein the baseline corresponds to the determined surgical context;
determine that the procedural variable deviates from the baseline for the procedural variable;
generate a control program update based on the determination that the procedural variable deviates from the baseline for the procedural variable; and
implement the control program update via a second surgical device of the plurality of surgical devices, wherein implementing the control program update yields an improved surgical outcome.
