1. A surgical hub for prioritizing data on a display using situational awareness of a medical instrument, the surgical hub comprising:
a memory; and
a processor, the processor being configured to:
determine a first surgical task that uses the medical instrument during a medical procedure based on a contextual data;
determine a predicted performance of a second surgical task based on the first surgical task and the contextual data, wherein the second surgical task uses the medical instrument;
sending a first message to a display, wherein the first message instructs the display to be configured to prioritize a display data associated with the predicted performance of the second surgical task; and
sending a second message to the medical instrument to instruct the medical instrument to be configured in accordance with the predicted performance of the second surgical task.
