    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, computer program product, and computing system for rendering content is executed on a computing device and includes receiving a request to render content during a user encounter. If it is determined that the content includes sensitive content, a complete version of the content is rendered on a first device (wherein the complete version of the content includes the sensitive content) and a limited version of the content on a second device (wherein the limited version of the content excludes the sensitive content). A modular ACD system is configured to automate clinical documentation and includes a machine vision system configured to obtain machine vision encounter information concerning a user encounter. An audio recording system is configured to obtain audio encounter information concerning the user encounter. A compute system is configured to receive the machine vision encounter information and the audio encounter information.
