A method, computer program product, and computing system for automating role assignment is executed on a computing device and includes obtaining encounter information of a patient encounter. The encounter information is processed to associate a first portion of the encounter information with a first encounter participant. A first role is assigned to the first encounter participant.

In some examples, a system includes: a plurality of different articles of personal protection equipment (PPE) that are all controlled by a particular user, and a computing device. The computing device may include one or more computer processors configured to receive sets of data from each of the different articles of PPE, wherein each set of data is based at least in part on a type of each of the different articles of PPE; generate for display a user interface that contemporaneously includes a plurality of graphical elements that are based at least in part on at least two sets of data that correspond to at least two different articles of PPE of the plurality of different articles of PPE; and in response to receiving an indication of user input that corresponds to at least one of the plurality of graphical elements, perform at least one operation.

In some examples, a system includes a set of personal protection equipment (PPE) controlled by a particular user, wherein an article of PPE in the set of PPE is of a particular type. The computing device may be controlled by the particular user and includes one or more computer processors that: execute, based on receiving a message that is generated by the article of PPE in response to a PPE-handshake input that is unique to the particular type of the article of PPE, a set of PPE-handshake operations to establish a connection with the article of PPE; and output for display, using data received by the second communication device from the first communication device via the connection, a graphical user interface that is based at least in part on the data received from the article of PPE that sent the message.

A mixed-media ACD device is configured to monitor one or more encounter participants of a patient encounter and includes a machine vision system configured to obtain machine vision encounter information concerning the patient encounter. An audio recording system is configured to obtain audio encounter information concerning the patient encounter, wherein the audio recording system includes a plurality of discrete audio acquisition devices.

A method, computer program product, and computing system for synchronizing machine vision and audio is executed on a computing device and includes obtaining encounter information of a patient encounter, wherein the encounter information includes machine vision encounter information and audio encounter information. The machine vision encounter information and the audio encounter information are temporally-aligned to produce a temporarily-aligned encounter recording.

A method, computer program product, and computing system for automating a monitoring process is executed on a computing device and includes obtaining encounter information of a patient encounter. The encounter information is processed to determine if the encounter information is indicative of a potential medical situation. An inquiry is initiated concerning the potential medical situation.
