An original text that is a representation of a narration of a patient encounter provided by a clinician may be received and re-formatted to produce a formatted text. One or more clinical facts may be extracted from the formatted text. A first fact of the clinical facts may be extracted from a first portion of the formatted text, and the first portion of the formatted text may be a formatted version of a first portion of the original text. A linkage may be maintained between the first fact and the first portion of the original text.

Methods and apparatus for formatting text for clinical fact extraction

A set of one or more clinical facts may be collected from a clinician's encounter with a patient. It may be determined that an unspecified diagnosis not included in the set of facts may possibly be ascertained from the patient encounter. A user may be alerted that the unspecified diagnosis may possibly be ascertained from the patient encounter.

Methods and apparatus for identifying unspecified diagnoses in clinical documentation

A set of one or more clinical facts may be collected from a clinician's encounter with a patient. From the set of facts, it may be determined that an additional fact that provides additional specificity to the set of facts may possibly be ascertained from the patient encounter. A user may be alerted that the additional fact may possibly be ascertained from the patient encounter.

Methods and apparatus for analyzing specificity in clinical documentation

A plurality of clinical facts may be extracted from a free-form narration of a patient encounter provided by a clinician. The plurality of clinical facts may include a first fact and a second fact. The first fact may be extracted from a first portion of the free-form narration, and the second fact may be extracted from a second portion of the free-form narration. A first indicator that indicates a first linkage between the first fact and the first portion of the free-form narration may be provided to a user. A second indicator, different from the first indicator, that indicates a second linkage between the second fact and the second portion of the free-form narration may also be provided to the user.

Methods and apparatus for linking extracted clinical facts to text

Based on a free-form narration of a patient encounter provided by a clinician, it may be determined that one or more clinical facts could possibly be ascertained from the patient encounter. One or more options corresponding to the one or more clinical facts may be provided to a user. A selection of a first option of the one or more options may be received from the user. The first option may correspond to a first fact of the one or more clinical facts. A textual representation of the free-form narration may be updated to identify the first fact as having been ascertained from the patient encounter.
