Publication number: 20040243545Abstract: The invention involves systems and methods for generating, manipulating, summarizing, storing, reusing, and searching electronic medical records. Structured input of medical information by medical personnel based on templates may optionally be used to facilitate analysis of records, while allowing less restrictive text input than systems of the prior art. Data extraction of relevant medical data from the input text may optionally be facilitated by the structured format of the medical records. Extracted medical data is optionally validated and linked or associated with the text from which it was extracted. The extracted medical data is normalized to allow easier searching than available in systems of the prior art. Medical and document metadata is incorporated into the extracted medical data. Particularly pertinent medical information may be extracted and summarized from a patient's medical history for use by a medical professional at the point of care.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 29, 2003Publication date: December 2, 2004Applicant: Dictaphone CorporationInventors: Keith W.

Patent number: 4868750Abstract: A system for the grammatical annotation of natural language receives natural language text and annotates each word with a set of tags indicative of its possible grammatical or syntactic uses. An empirical probability of collocation function defined on pairs of tags is iteratively extended to a selected set of tag sequences of increasing length so as to select a most probable tag for each word of a sequence of ambiguously-tagged words. For listed pairs of commonly confused words a substitute calculation reveals erroneous use of the wrong word. For words with tags having abnormally low frequency of occurrence, a stored table of reduced probability factors corrects the calculation. Once the text words have been annotated with their most probable tags, the tagged text is parsed by a parser which successively applies phrasal, predicate and clausal analysis to build higher structures from the disambiguated tag strings.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 1987Date of Patent: September 19, 1989Assignee: Houghton Mifflin CompanyInventors: Henry Kucera, Alwin B.
