Abstract

Facts are extracted from speech and recorded in a document using codings. Each coding represents an extracted fact and includes a code and a datum. The code may represent a type of the extracted fact and the datum may represent a value of the extracted fact. The datum in a coding is rendered based on a specified feature of the coding. For example, the datum may be rendered as boldface text to indicate that the coding has been designated as an “allergy.” In this way, the specified feature of the coding (e.g., “allergy”-ness) is used to modify the manner in which the datum is rendered. A user inspects the rendering and provides, based on the rendering, an indication of whether the coding was accurately designated as having the specified feature. A record of the user'"'"'s indication may be stored, such as within the coding itself.

Claims

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:

(A) identifying a document including a first coding having a first feature, the first coding being associated with a first code, the first code having first data;

(B) rendering the first data based on the first feature;

(C) identifying a first indication by a user of a verification status of the rendering; and

(D) identifying, based on the verification status of the rendering, a verification status of the first feature, comprising;

(D)(1) if the verification status of the rendering indicates that the rendering is accurate, then identifying a verification status of the first feature indicating that the first feature is accurate; and

(D)(2) otherwise, identifying a verification status of the first feature indicating that the first feature is inaccurate; and

(E) identifying, based on the verification status of the first feature, a verification status of the first coding.
