Method and system for generation of medical reports from data in a hierarchically-organized database
First Claim
1. An automated method comprising:
- providing a hierarchically-organized database comprising a plurality of nodes;
displaying;
a first series of items that correspond to a first group of the plurality of nodes as comprise a portion of the hierarchically-organized database;
at least one user-selectable additional item that corresponds to a specific one of the plurality of nodes that does not comprise a part of the first group of the plurality of nodes;
upon detecting selection of the at least one user-selectable additional item, displaying a second series of items that correspond to a second group of the plurality of nodes, which second series is at least partially different than the first series;
detecting a medical examination data entry interaction with at least a specific one of the first and second series of selectable items and entering corresponding medical examination data into storage via the hierarchically-organized database in response to such interaction to provide entered data; and
generating an automated medical report by transferring the entered data into a report generation process.

Abstract
Methods, systems, and user interfaces for navigating hierarchical database views are provided, that support the efficient entry, review, and updating of data using a navigation display. At any point in the navigation process, the navigation display consists of buttons corresponding to nodes of hierarchical database data. Buttons form series of menu items representing nodes that lie along the path to the last node visited (the set of previously made choices) and the children of this node (the set of current choices). Other buttons act as placeholders to facilitate global movement within the database and when selected, initiate new series of menu items. Reports are generated by creating and formatting text based on data entered into the database. Other features are provided for increasing the efficiency of entering data and created reports from data in a hierarchical database views. Information is separated regarding the organization of the knowledge base and user interface from information from the data-entering step and associating the entered data items with sections used to organize information in the report.
