## Quick Start

### Installation

```python
# Import the integrated system
from voice_ai_system import VoiceAISystem

# Initialize the system
voice_system = VoiceAISystem()
```

### Example 1: Process Voice Command

```python
# Process a simple voice command
result = voice_system.process_voice_command(
    transcription="Order chest x-ray stat",
    user_id="DR_SMITH_001"
)

print(f"Command Type: {result['command']['command_type']}")
print(f"Success: {result['execution_result']['success']}")

# Output:
# Command Type: clinical_order
# Success: True
```

### Example 2: Clinical Encounter with SOAP Note

```python
from voice_ai_system import SpeakerRole

# Simulate a clinical encounter
conversation = [
    ("I have chest pain and shortness of breath", SpeakerRole.PATIENT, 3.0),
    ("When did the chest pain start?", SpeakerRole.PHYSICIAN, 2.0),
    ("This morning around 8 AM", SpeakerRole.PATIENT, 2.0),
    ("Blood pressure is 140 over 90, heart rate 95", SpeakerRole.PHYSICIAN, 3.0),
    ("I assess this as likely angina", SpeakerRole.PHYSICIAN, 2.0),
    ("Plan to order troponin and EKG", SpeakerRole.PHYSICIAN, 2.0)
]

# Process encounter and generate SOAP note
encounter = voice_system.conduct_clinical_encounter(
    session_id="SESSION_001",
    patient_id="PT_12345",
    provider_id="DR_SMITH_001",
    conversation_segments=conversation
)

# Access the generated SOAP note
soap_note = encounter['soap_note']
print(f"Note Type: {soap_note['note_type']}")
print(f"Subjective: {soap_note['content']['subjective']}")
print(f"Assessment: {soap_note['content']['assessment']}")
print(f"Plan: {soap_note['content']['plan']}")
```

### Example 3: Convenience Functions

```python
from voice_ai_system import assess_voice_command, generate_clinical_note_from_conversation

# Quick command assessment
result = assess_voice_command("Prescribe metformin 1000mg twice daily")

# Quick note generation
conversation = [
    ("I have a headache", "patient"),
    ("How long?", "physician"),
    ("Two days", "patient"),
    ("I'll prescribe ibuprofen", "physician")
]

note = generate_clinical_note_from_conversation(
    patient_id="PT_123",
    provider_id="DR_001",

    patient_id="PT_12345",
    provider_id="DR_SMITH_001",
    transcript_segments=segments,
    session_id="SESSION_001"
)

# Access note sections
print(soap_note.content['subjective'])   # Patient's complaints
print(soap_note.content['objective'])    # Vital signs, exam findings
print(soap_note.content['assessment'])   # Diagnosis/assessment
print(soap_note.content['plan'])         # Treatment plan
```

### History & Physical (H&P) Note

```python
# Generate comprehensive H&P
hp_note = voice_system.note_generator.generate_history_physical(
    patient_id="PT_12345",
    provider_id="DR_SMITH_001",
    transcript_segments=segments,
    session_id="SESSION_001"
)

# H&P Sections
sections = hp_note.content.keys()
# Includes: chief_complaint, history_present_illness, past_medical_history,
#           medications, allergies, social_history, family_history,
#           review_of_systems, physical_exam, assessment, plan
```

### Discharge Summary

```python
from datetime import datetime, timedelta

# Generate discharge summary
admission_date = datetime.now() - timedelta(days=3)
discharge_date = datetime.now()

discharge_note = voice_system.note_generator.generate_discharge_summary(
    patient_id="PT_12345",
    provider_id="DR_SMITH_001",
    admission_date=admission_date,
    discharge_date=discharge_date,
    transcript_segments=segments,

3. **Async Operations:** Use async for I/O-bound operations
4. **Caching:** Cache medical entity patterns

---

## Troubleshooting

### Common Issues

#### Issue: Command not recognized

**Symptom:** Voice command classified as "documentation" with low confidence

**Solution:**
```python
# Check command pattern
result = voice_system.process_voice_command("Order chest xray", "DR_001")
print(f"Type: {result['command']['command_type']}")
print(f"Confidence: {result['command']['confidence']}")

# Use more specific phrasing
result = voice_system.process_voice_command("Order chest x-ray stat", "DR_001")
# Better recognized with "x-ray" (hyphenated) and urgency
```

#### Issue: Medical entities not extracted

**Symptom:** `medical_entities` list is empty

**Solution:**
```python
# Check if entities are in the vocabulary
segment = ambient.transcribe_segment(
    session_id,
    "Patient has severe headache",  # "headache" not in default patterns
    SpeakerRole.PATIENT
)

# Add custom patterns if needed
# Medical entity patterns are defined in AmbientClinicalIntelligence._load_medical_entities()
```

#### Issue: SOAP note sections missing

**Symptom:** Note sections contain default text like "Plan to be determined"

**Solution:**
```python
# Ensure conversation includes keywords for each section:
# - Subjective: Patient statements
# - Objective: Vital signs, "exam", "blood pressure", etc.
# - Assessment: "diagnose", "assess", "likely", "rule out"
# - Plan: "plan", "order", "prescribe", "follow up"

conversation = [
    ("I have chest pain", SpeakerRole.PATIENT),  # Subjective
    ("Blood pressure 120/80", SpeakerRole.PHYSICIAN),  # Objective
    ("Likely angina", SpeakerRole.PHYSICIAN),  # Assessment
    ("Plan to order EKG", SpeakerRole.PHYSICIAN)  # Plan
]
```

#### Issue: Audit logs not created

**Symptom:** `get_audit_trail()` returns empty list

**Solution:**
```python
# Ensure you're calling log_voice_access
voice_system.security.log_voice_access(
    user_id="DR_001",
    patient_id="PT_123",
    action="transcribe",
    data_hash="hash123"
)

# Or use conduct_clinical_encounter which logs automatically
encounter = voice_system.conduct_clinical_encounter(...)
```
