Ontology based medical system for automatically generating healthcare billing codes from a patient encounter
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system for generating healthcare billing codes, comprising:
- a syntax processing block associated with a healthcare lexicon adapted to receive non-standard input data generated during a patient encounter and to generate a corrected data file including components from the healthcare lexicon; and
, an ontology processing block adapted to receive the corrected data file and to generate, in response to the corrected data file, standardized output data including one or more healthcare billing codes associated with the patient encounter.

Abstract
A healthcare related system is disclosed in which non-standard input data is corrected in a syntax processing block with reference to one or more healthcare lexicons, and a resulting corrected data file is thereafter used by an ontology processing block to reference an ontology and generate a standardized output including one or more healthcare billing codes.

25. A system, comprising:
-
a syntax processing block comprising;
a wireless microphone system adapted to receive from a user non-standard voice input data relating to a patient encounter from a user and to generate a voice transcript signal in response to the non-standard voice input data;
a digital logic platform adapted to wirelessly receive the voice transcript signal and to generate a corrected data file with reference to a healthcare lexicon; and
,an ontology processing block adapted to receive the corrected data file from the syntax processing block via a data communication link and to generate in response to the corrected data file a standardized output including one or more billing codes. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 29, 30)

31. A system allowing hands-free entry of non-standard input data during a patient encounter and generating a corresponding standardized output, comprising:
-
an ontology application running on a server, referencing an ontology in relation to a corrected data file stored in a database associated with the server, and generating a standardized output including at least one healthcare billing code; and
a digital logic platform connected to the server and generating the corrected data file in relation to the non-standard input data and with reference to a healthcare lexicon. - View Dependent Claims (32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37)
