System, method, and apparatus for automating creation of subjective, objective, assessment, and plan (SOAP) reports

A product comprising one or more tangible computer-readable non-transitory storage media comprising computer-executable instructions operable to, when executed by at least one computer processor, enable the at least one computer processor to implement operations at a computing device, the operations including:

• capturing an audio recording of a patient encounter;
• transcribing, by a speech-to-text engine configured to recognize dental terminology including tooth numbering schemes, periodontal charting terms, or orthodontic descriptors, the audio recording into an enhanced text stream;
• applying a plurality of prompt modules to the enhanced text stream, each of the prompt modules configured to extract structured information for categories including at least one of:
• chief complaint, medical history, dental history, periodontal findings, hard tissue findings, radiographic findings, orthodontic conditions, molar relationships, consent, diagnostic tests, assessment, treatment plan, referrals, and patient education;
• aggregating outputs of the plurality of prompt modules into a structured record;
• ingesting unstructured procedure templates provided by a provider practice;
• generating a persistent mapping between each standardized dental procedure code of the Current Dental Terminology (CDT) and a corresponding set of practice-specific procedural steps;
• generating, from an aggregated record, a structured SOAP-format dental note in which a plan section is populated with the practice-specific procedural steps associated with one or more CDT codes determined from encountered metadata;
• inserting the structured SOAP-format dental note into an electronic dental practice management system (PMS) using an interface configured for the PMS's data model;
• analyzing, by an artificial intelligence module, a plurality of historical SOAP-format dental notes for the patient to detect unfinished, deferred, or overlooked treatments;
• generating a patient-specific checklist of the treatments;
• and
• presenting the checklist in association with an appointment for the patient.
