Adaptive control of operating room systems is performed based upon monitored data associated with the operating room. Monitoring systems may collect data regarding the patient being treated in the operating room, the healthcare professionals participating in the surgical procedure, and/or the environment in the operating room. The collected data, referred to as monitored data, may be communicated to a surgical computing system. The surgical computing system may evaluate received monitored data in view of the surgical tasks that are ongoing in the operating room. The surgical computing system may determine, based upon the monitored data, parameters for controlling various systems associated with the operating room, and may communicate the parameters to the operating room systems.
