Abstract

According to some embodiments, an apparatus and a method are provided to receive an input associated with a patient encounter, extract a plurality of keywords and at least one sentence from the input. The at least one sentence is associated with at least one of the plurality of keywords. The keywords and the at least one associated sentence are stored and the keywords are displayed. Moreover, a plurality of indications is received. Each of the plurality of indications is associated with a respective one of the plurality of keywords.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

receiving an input associated with a patient encounter;

extracting, via a processor, a plurality of keywords and at least one sentence from the input, the at least one sentence associated with at least one of the plurality of keywords;

storing the keywords and the at least one associated sentence;

displaying the keywords; and

receiving a plurality of indications, each of the plurality of indications associated with a respective one of the plurality of keywords.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

storing a second indication, the second indication associated with the at least one associated sentence;

receiving a second input, the second input associated with a second patient encounter, the received second input comprising the at least one sentence associated with the second indication; and

generating an output associated with the second patient encounter.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the plurality of indications comprises a plurality of statuses based on a comparison between a charge slip and the input associated with the patient encounter.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein the plurality of indications comprise a first indication that subject matter associated with one of the plurality of keywords has been included in the charge slip, a second indication that subject matter associated with the one of the plurality of keywords has been added to the charge slip, and a third indication that the subject matter associated with the keyword is neither included in the charge slip nor will be added to the charge slip.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the keywords and associated sentence are stored in a database.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein a monetary value is associated with each of the plurality of keywords stored in the database.

7. An apparatus comprising:

a processor; and

a computer-readable medium comprising processor-executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to;

receive an input associated with a patient encounter;

extract a plurality of keywords and at least one sentence from the input, the at least one sentence associated with at least one of the plurality of keywords;

storing the keywords and the at least one associated sentence;

display the keywords; and

receive a plurality of indications, each of the plurality of indications associated with a respective one of the plurality of keywords.

8. The apparatus of claim 7, further comprising processor-executable instructions to:

store a second indication, the second indication associated with the at least one associated sentence;

receive a second input associated, the second input associated with a second patient encounter, the received second input comprising the at least one sentence associated with the second indication; and

generate an output associated with the second patient encounter.

9. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein the plurality of indications comprises a plurality of statuses based on a comparison between a charge slip and the input associated with the patient encounter.

10. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the indications comprise a first indication that subject matter associated with one of the plurality of keywords has been included in the charge slip, a second indication that subject matter associated with the one of the plurality of keywords has been added to the charge slip, and a third indication that the subject matter associated with the keyword is neither included in the charge slip nor will be added to the charge slip.

11. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein the keywords and associated sentence are stored in a database.

12. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein a monetary value is associated with each of the plurality of keywords stored in the database.

13. A system comprising:

a database;

a processor; and

a computer-readable medium comprising processor-executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to;

receive an input associated with a patient encounter;

extract a plurality of keywords and at least one sentence from the input, the at least one sentence associated with at least one of the plurality of keywords;

storing the keywords and the at least one associated sentence in the database;

display the keywords; and

receive a plurality of indications, each of the plurality of indications associated with a respective one of the plurality of keywords.

14. The system of claim 13, further comprising processor-executable instructions to:

store a second indication, the second indication associated with the at least one associated sentence;

receive a second input associated, the second input associated with a second patient encounter, the received second input comprising the at least one sentence associated with the second indication; and

generate an output associated with the second patient encounter.

15. The system of claim 13, wherein the plurality of indications comprises a plurality of statuses based on a comparison between a charge slip and the input associated with the patient encounter.

16. The system of claim 15, wherein the indications comprise a first indication that subject matter associated with one of the plurality of keywords has been included in the charge slip, a second indication that subject matter associated with the one of the plurality of keywords has been added to the charge slip, and a third indication that the subject matter associated with the keyword is neither included in the charge slip nor will be added to the charge slip.

17. The system of claim 13, wherein a monetary value is associated with each of the plurality of keywords stored in the database.
