  • Publication number: 20190325024
    Abstract: In a method for validating data, a text of a document is received. At least one fact is extracted from the text. At least one expert refinement is merged with the at least one fact to create at least one modified fact. The at least one modified fact is provided for a review. An expert refinement to the at least one modified fact is captured in response to the review. A superset document based on the at least one pre-existing refinement and the expert refinement is stored.

  • Patent number: 9251129
    Abstract: A system and method may be disclosed for facilitating the creation or modification of a document by providing a mechanism for locating relevant data from external sources and organizing and incorporating some or all of said data into the document. In the method for reusing data, there may be a set of documents that may be queried, where each document may be divided into a plurality of sections. A plurality of section text groups may be formed based on the set of documents, where each section text group may be associated with a respective section from the plurality of sections and each section group includes a plurality of items. Each item may be associated with a respective section from each document of the set of documents. A selected item within a selected section text group may be focused. The selected item may be extracted to a current document. The current document may be exported to a host application.

  • Patent number: 7379946
    Abstract: Methods and systems for classifying and normalizing information using a combination of traditional data input methods, natural language processing, and predetermined templates are disclosed. One method may include activating a template. Based on this template, template-specific data may also be retrieved. After receiving both an input stream of data and the template-specific data, this information may be processed to generate a report based on the input data and the template specific data. In an alternative embodiment of the invention, templates may include, for example, medical billing codes from a number of different billing code classifications for the generation of patient bills. Alternatively, a method may include receiving an input stream of data and processing the input stream of data. A determination may be made as to whether or not the input stream of data includes latent information. If the data includes latent information, a template associated with latent information may be activated.

  • Patent number: 7233938
    Abstract: The invention includes a medical document handling system and method and automated coding systems and methods for assigning predetermined medical codes to medical documents based on the documents' contents. The invention functions by analyzing electronic medical records and extracting medical information using natural language processing and machine learning. The system collects and amalgamates medical documentation in various formats from multiple sources and locations, normalizes the information, analyzes the information, recognizes information indicating contents corresponding to classification codes, assigns classification codes, and presents information in context correlated to medical records for billing and other purposes.
