Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a system and method for generating a report using a knowledge base. The method includes displaying available keywords from a knowledge base on a user interface, receiving a user command selecting at least one of the available keywords, and displaying the selected keywords on a different display region of the user interface. The method also includes populating a sentence model based on the selected keywords and displaying the populated sentence on a different display region of the user interface. The invention also provides a user interface and program storage device for generating reports using a knowledge base. The technical effects of the invention include improving the efficiency and accuracy of reporting procedures by automating the process of selecting relevant keywords and generating a report based on those keywords.

Problems solved by technology

However, such approaches are problematic since the terms are not presented in a uniform sentence structure.
Moreover, the terms are not classified in a way that improves understanding and data mining capabilities.
Similarly, various other features and benefits have also been lacking in the known systems.

Finding

[0164] [Size] [Mass Appearance] TUMOR / MASS {IF ([site]==(distance cm from teeth)) “at” else “in the” } [Site] {IF ([site]!=(whole esophagus) AND [site]!=(Distance cm from teeth) AND [site]==(ANY)) “of the esophagus” ELSE “”} {IF ([site]==(Distance cm from teeth)) “from the entry site” ELSE “”}

[0165] The trigger-placeholder “TUMOR / MASS” indicates that the particular sentence model will be populated and displayed on the user interface, such as on the Procedure Note Builder display region 2340 (FIG. 23), when the user selects the keyword “TUMOR / MASS” from the available keywords and clicks the Generate Report icon. The node placeholders [Size] and [Mass Appearance] will be populated by the respective keywords selected by the user for those concepts. For example, [Size] and [Mass Appearance] may be populated by the keywords “large” and “rounded”, respectively. Moreover, note that various conditional statements are used to in the example code above to adjust the grammar of the se...

Medication

[0166] CIPROFLOXACIN [dose][route] {IF ([frequency]==(qpm)) “every evening” ELSE “”} {IF ([frequency]==(q12 h)) “every twelve (12) hours” ELSE “”} {IF ([duration]==(ANY) “for” ELSE “” } [duration]

[0167] The trigger-placeholder “CIPROFLOXACIN” indicates that the particular sentence model will be populated and displayed on the user interface, such as on the Procedure Note Builder screen region 2340 (FIG. 23), when the user selects the keyword “CIPROFLOXACIN” from the available keywords and clicks the Generate Report icon. The node placeholders [dose] and [route] will be populated by the respective keywords selected by the user for those concepts. For example, [dose] and [route] may be populated by the keywords “IV” and “2 mg”, respectively. Again, note that various conditional statements are used to adjust the grammar of the sentence depending on the keywords selected by the user to characterize the finding. For example, if the “frequency” is described by 12-hour period (va...

Abstract

A method and system for assisting a user in generating a report regarding a procedure such as a medical procedure. A first display region provides a hierarchical menu of available keywords from a knowledge base. A second display region provides a hierarchical menu of particular keywords that have been selected by the user. A third display region provides a report from a sentence that was generated by populating a sentence model based on the selected keywords. The sentence can be edited by selecting a keyword from the sentence, then selecting a replacement keyword from the first display region. A grammar engine corrects the grammar of the sentence based on user settings for the keywords.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This application claims the benefit of U.S. provisional patent application No. 60 / 471,349, filed May 16, 2003, entitled “System And Method For Endoscope Management” (docket No. P16531), and incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] 1. Field of the Invention [0003] The invention relates generally to a system and method for generating a report using a knowledge base and, more specifically, to generating a report using sentence models that are automatically populated with keywords selected by a user. The invention is illustrated in the context of a medical procedure such as an endoscopic examination. [0004] 2. Description of the Related Art [0005] Computerized word processing applications have gained widespread use since they allow a user to prepare and manipulate documents in electronic form. Moreover, various applications have been developed to assist users in specific industries in developing reports and other ...
