Automated clinical documentation system and method

1. A computer-implemented method, executed on a computing device, comprising:

obtaining encounter information of a patient encounter, wherein the encounter information includes machine vision encounter information;

processing the machine vision encounter information to identify one or more humanoid shapes and monitoring trajectories of the one or more humanoid shapes; and

steering one or more audio recording beams toward the one or more humanoid shapes to capture audio encounter information.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 wherein obtaining the encounter information of the patient encounter includes one or more of:

obtaining the encounter information from a medical professional;

obtaining the encounter information from a patient; and

obtaining the encounter information obtaining encounter information from a third party.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 wherein the encounter information further includes audio encounter information.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 wherein processing the machine vision encounter information to identify the one or more humanoid shapes includes:

tracking the movement of the one or more humanoid shapes within a monitored space.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 4 wherein the one or more humanoid shapes are defined with one or more humanoid models.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 4 wherein tracking the movement of the one or more humanoid shapes within the monitored space includes:

adding a new humanoid shape to the one or more humanoid shapes when the new humanoid shape enters the monitored space.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 4 wherein tracking the movement of the one or more humanoid shapes within the monitored space includes:

removing an existing humanoid shape from the one or more humanoid shapes when the existing humanoid shape leaves the monitored space.

8. A computer program product residing on a non-transitory 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 machine vision encounter information;

processing the machine vision encounter information to identify one or more humanoid shapes and monitoring trajectories of the one or more humanoid shapes; and

steering one or more audio recording beams toward the one or more humanoid shapes to capture audio encounter information.

9. The computer program product of claim 8 wherein obtaining the encounter information of the patient encounter includes one or more of:

obtaining the encounter information from a medical professional;

obtaining the encounter information from a patient; and

obtaining the encounter information obtaining encounter information from a third party.

10. The computer program product of claim 8 wherein the encounter information further includes audio encounter information.

11. The computer program product of claim 8 wherein processing the machine vision encounter information to identify the one or more humanoid shapes includes:

tracking the movement of the one or more humanoid shapes within a monitored space.

12. The computer program product of claim 11 wherein the one or more humanoid shapes are defined with one or more humanoid models.

13. The computer program product of claim 11 wherein tracking the movement of the one or more humanoid shapes within the monitored space includes:

adding a new humanoid shape to the one or more humanoid shapes when the new humanoid shape enters the monitored space.

14. The computer program product of claim 11 wherein tracking the movement of the one or more humanoid shapes within the monitored space includes:

removing an existing humanoid shape from the one or more humanoid shapes when the existing humanoid shape leaves the monitored space.

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 machine vision encounter information;

processing the machine vision encounter information to identify one or more humanoid shapes and monitoring trajectories of the one or more humanoid shapes; and

steering one or more audio recording beams toward the one or more humanoid shapes to capture audio encounter information.

16. The computing system of claim 15 wherein obtaining the encounter information of the patient encounter includes one or more of:

obtaining the encounter information from a medical professional;

obtaining the encounter information from a patient; and

obtaining the encounter information obtaining encounter information from a third party.

17. The computing system of claim 15 wherein the encounter information further includes audio encounter information.

18. The computing system of claim 15 wherein processing the machine vision encounter information to identify the one or more humanoid shapes includes:

tracking the movement of the one or more humanoid shapes within a monitored space.

19. The computing system of claim 18 wherein the one or more humanoid shapes are defined with one or more humanoid models.

20. The computing system of claim 18 wherein tracking the movement of the one or more humanoid shapes within the monitored space includes:

adding a new humanoid shape to the one or more humanoid shapes when the new humanoid shape enters the monitored space.

21. The computing system of claim 18 wherein tracking the movement of the one or more humanoid shapes within the monitored space includes:

removing an existing humanoid shape from the one or more humanoid shapes when the existing humanoid shape leaves the monitored space.
