Doctor: “And how long have you had it for?”
Patient: “I think two days for the sore throat and the cough just started today”

and DeepScribe will process this conversation and return something like:
DeepScribe will also record the physical exam as well as the assessment and plan as described by the doctor. The exam portion can use pre-determined templates and the doctor simply adds or deleting pertinent exam findings into the template.
