Application ID: 10491933

Base Claim:
1. A computer-based method of recording medical transactions through de novo composition and construction of medical transaction codes; including the steps of: inputting medical transactions in a semiotic form one, the semiotic form one input being a free form-type, abbreviation-oriented natural language textual input, parsing said semiotic form one input and converting it into coded medical transactions in a semiotic form two output, the transaction codes composed and constructed de novo, the semiotic form two output embodying high level machine-parseable computer language statements comprehensible to a high certainty level by human users, causing a user display to display system reflection in the form of coded medical transactions in said semiotic form two and system-rated confidence levels representing the match between a code and correspondence with perceived user intent, receiving user selection input for verifying a selected coded medical transaction, converting a semiotic form two input into a semiotic form three transaction by mapping the selected coded transaction into data row in a relational database to render the transaction data amenable to structured query language processing, wherein each coded medical transaction in semiotic form two is classified into a genre selected from the group: (a) reason for encounter: genre@fie; (b) symptom/sign: genre@hxpx; (c) past history: genre@hxpx; (d) social history: genre@hxpx; (e) family history: genre@hxpx; (f) diagnosis or evaluation: genre@eval: (g) test: genre@ix; (h) test result: genre@ix@find; (i) drug or procedural treatment: genre@mx; (j) management plan—prescription specification: genre@plan; and (k) management goal: genre@goal, and wherein each coded medical transaction belongs to a species, each species being a classification under a genre.

Claim 2:
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein coded medical transactions in semiotic form two include segments comprising one or more thematic codes demarcated by punctuation characters, segments being joined together using attribute joiners to enable representation of all possible clinical scenarios.
