Abstract: This disclosure includes techniques for guiding a patient encounter using a computing device and cultural indicators. A computing device receives patient information for a first patient and determines, based at least in part on the patient information for the first patient and a model, cultural identifiers for the first patient. The computing device retrieves a set of encounter instructions for a first patient encounter for the first patient based on a patient encounter type of the first patient encounter for the first patient. The computing device develops an updated set of encounter instructions for the first patient encounter by altering the set of encounter instructions for the first patient encounter based on the cultural identifiers for the first patient. The computing device outputs, via an output component, the updated set of encounter instructions to guide the first patient encounter.
