Abstract

A method, computer program product, and computing system for obtaining, by a computing device, encounter information of a patient encounter, wherein the encounter information may include audio encounter information obtained from at least a first encounter participant. The audio encounter information obtained from at least the first encounter participant may be processed. An alert may be generated to obtain additional encounter information of the patient encounter.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A computer-implemented method comprising:
obtaining, by a computing device, encounter information of a patient encounter, wherein the encounter information includes audio encounter information obtained from at least a first encounter participant; processing the audio encounter information obtained from at least the first encounter participant; and generating an alert to obtain additional encounter information of the patient encounter.

2 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 wherein processing the first audio encounter information includes defining linkages between each of a plurality of layers associated with the audio encounter information.

3 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 further comprising generating a user interface displaying the plurality of layers associated with the audio encounter information obtained from at least the first encounter participant.

4 . The computer-implemented method of claim 3 wherein the first layer of the plurality of layers is an audio signal associated with the audio encounter information, wherein the second layer of the plurality of layers is a transcript associated with the audio encounter information, and wherein the third layer of the plurality of layers is a medical report associated with the audio encounter information.

5 . The computer-implemented method of claim 4 wherein processing the first audio encounter information includes comparing at least one layer of the plurality of layers with at least one data source.

6 . The computer-implemented method of claim 5 wherein the at least one data source includes at least one of physical exam finding information, lab order information, medical condition checklist information, and compliance information.

7 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 wherein the alert is at least one of an audio alert and a visual alert.

8 . A computer program product residing on a computer readable medium having a plurality of instructions stored thereon which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
obtaining encounter information of a patient encounter, wherein the encounter information includes audio encounter information obtained from at least a first encounter participant; processing the audio encounter information obtained from at least the first encounter participant; and generating an alert to obtain additional encounter information of the patient encounter.

9 . The computer program product of claim 8 wherein processing the first audio encounter information includes defining linkages between each of a plurality of layers associated with the audio encounter information.

10 . The computer program product of claim 8 wherein the instructions further comprise generating a user interface displaying the plurality of layers associated with the audio encounter information obtained from at least the first encounter participant.

11 . The computer program product of claim 10 wherein the first layer of the plurality of layers is an audio signal associated with the audio encounter information, wherein the second layer of the plurality of layers is a transcript associated with the audio encounter information, and wherein the third layer of the plurality of layers is a medical report associated with the audio encounter information.

12 . The computer program product of claim 11 wherein processing the first audio encounter information includes comparing at least one layer of the plurality of layers with at least one data source.

13 . The computer program product of claim 12 wherein the at least one data source includes at least one of physical exam finding information, lab order information, medical condition checklist information, and compliance information.

14 . The computer program product of claim 8 wherein the alert is at least one of an audio alert and a visual alert.

15 . A computing system including a processor and memory configured to perform operations comprising:
obtaining encounter information of a patient encounter, wherein the encounter information includes audio encounter information obtained from at least a first encounter participant; processing the audio encounter information obtained from at least the first encounter participant; and generating an alert to obtain additional encounter information of the patient encounter.

16 . The computing system of claim 15 wherein processing the first audio encounter information includes defining linkages between each of a plurality of layers associated with the audio encounter information.

17 . The computing system of claim 15 wherein the instructions further comprise generating a user interface displaying the plurality of layers associated with the audio encounter information obtained from at least the first encounter participant.

18 . The computing system of claim 17 wherein the first layer of the plurality of layers is an audio signal associated with the audio encounter information, wherein the second layer of the plurality of layers is a transcript associated with the audio encounter information, and wherein the third layer of the plurality of layers is a medical report associated with the audio encounter information.

19 . The computing system of claim 18 wherein processing the first audio encounter information includes comparing at least one layer of the plurality of layers with at least one data source.

20 . The computing system of claim 19 wherein the at least one data source includes at least one of physical exam finding information, lab order information, medical condition checklist information, and compliance information.
