1. A system for generating a patient clinical history for a current exam, the system comprising:
- a clinical information database containing one or more clinical documents, each clinical document including a list of patient specific information items;
a clinical information crawler engine for querying the clinical information database for clinical data, the clinical data including one or more information items;
a clinical history construction interface for displaying the clinical data to the user; and
a narrative construction engine that concatenates information items within the clinical data selected in the clinical history construction interface by the user and creates a free-text rendering, wherein the free-text rendering is inserted into the patient clinical history of a clinical report,characterized byfurther including a relevancy engine that detects date information and current clinical diagnosis information from the information items for inclusion in the patient clinical history section including;
a memory for storing attributes of prior clinical documents;
