Abstract:
1. A method for generating a clinical report in a natural language text representation, said method operative within a computing device for controlling said computing device to perform the functions of: compiling data representing a selected state of a plurality of data elements which symbolize specific questions pertaining to a medical condition of a patient, including compiling positive findings selected by a user, and compiling negative findings selected by the user; building a tree structure by processing individual phrases, said individual phrases generated dynamically upon receiving individual selections of said data elements, wherein a selection of a data element of the plurality of elements generates an individual phrase, wherein each individual successive word in each phrase is added to the tree structure; associating each word in the tree structure with positive and negative values of a selected data elements, a positive value corresponding to a positive finding selected by the user and a negative value corresponding to a negative finding selected by the user, wherein the associating includes identifying a first tally corresponding to the number of occurrences of each word in an individual phrase generated by a selection of a positive value of the selected data element and identifying a second tally corresponding to the number of occurrences of each word in an individual phrase generated by a selection of a negative value of the selected data element; and generating a textual prose representation of correlated compiled data by using a built one of said tree, wherein said generating includes combining a plurality of words in the tree structure into at least one sentence for said textual prose representation by correlating the first tally and the second tally.
