SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR CAPTURING A MEDICAL DRAWING OR SKETCH FOR GENERATING PROGRESS NOTES, DIAGNOSIS AND BILLING CODES

摘要

A system and methods are provided that allows an end user such as a doctor to draw a picture representation of a patient physical findings such as symptoms, treatments, imaging results or other procedures so that the rendering is captured and translated to a textual description as progress notes, diagnosis, or for inclusion with an electronic medical record, for example. The captured rendering (“sketch-to-text”) is storable and recallable for future annotations as needed. The translated description may be used for automated billing.
