These advanced NLP techniques are being applied in healthcare. During a typical patient-provider encounter, a conversation ensues where the doctor constructs, through questions and answers, a chronological description of the development of the patient's presenting illness or symptoms. A physician examines the patient and makes clinical decisions to establish a diagnosis and determine a treatment plan. This conversation, and data in the EHR, provide the required information for physicians to generate the clinical documentation, referred to as medical reports.
