1. A method for generating a codified electronic record using a computer comprising an output device, the method comprising:
- receiving, within the computer, a textual commentary from a clinician, wherein the clinician is a source of the textual commentary;
responsive to receiving the textual commentary from the clinician, and in real time, analyzing the textual commentary to identify a plurality of codes that potentially correlate to the textual commentary, wherein analyzing the textual commentary comprises;
maintaining a code acceptance history of identified codes previously accepted by the clinician on a per clinician basis, wherein within the code acceptance history, each code is correlated with an attribute identified within the textual commentary; and
selecting the plurality of codes, at least in part, according to the code acceptance history, wherein one or more identified codes previously accepted by the clinician and correlated to a particular textual commentary attribute are selected when the textual commentary corresponding to the particular textual commentary attribute is received and analyzed;
presenting the identified codes to the clinician through the output device;
responsive to presenting the identified codes, receiving a first clinician input selecting at least one of the identified codes presented via the output device; and
adding the selected code to the electronic record responsive to receiving the first clinician input.

Abstract
A method and system for generating codified electronic records. A textual commentary can be received from a user and, in real time, the textual commentary can be analyzed to identify a plurality of codes that potentially correlate to the textual commentary. The identified codes then can be presented to the user in real time. A first user input can be received to select at least one of the identified codes, and the selected code can be added to an electronic record.

10. A method for generating a codified electronic record using a computer comprising an output device, the method comprising:
-
receiving, within the computer, a textual commentary from a clinician, wherein the clinician is a source of the textual commentary; responsive to receiving the textual commentary and in real time, analyzing the textual commentary to identify a first plurality of codes that potentially correlate to the textual commentary, wherein analyzing the textual commentary comprises; maintaining a code acceptance history of identified codes previously accepted by the clinician on a per clinician basis, wherein within the code acceptance history, each code is correlated with an attribute identified within the textual commentary; and selecting the plurality of codes, at least in part, according to the code acceptance history, wherein one or more identified codes previously accepted by the clinician and correlated to a particular textual commentary attribute are selected when the textual commentary corresponding to the particular textual commentary attribute is received and analyzed; presenting the first plurality of codes to the clinician through the output device; responsive to presenting the first plurality of codes, receiving at least a first clinician input to select at least one code from the first plurality of codes presented via the output device and initiating at least one operation on the selected code; responsive to receiving the at least a first clinician input, presenting, via the output device, a second plurality of codes to the clinician reflecting changes caused by the operation on the selected code; and adding the second plurality of codes to the electronic record. - View Dependent Claims (11, 20)

12. A machine readable storage, having stored thereon a computer program having a plurality of code sections executable by a machine for causing the machine to perform the steps of:
-
receiving a textual commentary from a clinician, wherein the clinician is a source of the textual commentary; responsive to receiving the textual commentary and in real time, analyzing the textual commentary to identify a plurality of codes that potentially correlate to the textual commentary, wherein analyzing the textual commentary comprises; maintaining a code acceptance history of identified codes previously accepted by the clinician on a per clinician basis, wherein within the code acceptance history, each code is correlated with an attribute identified within the textual commentary; and selecting the plurality of codes, at least in part, according to the code acceptance history, wherein one or more identified codes previously accepted by the clinician and correlated to a particular textual commentary attribute are selected when the textual commentary corresponding to the particular textual commentary attribute is received and analyzed; presenting the identified codes to the clinician; responsive to presenting the identified codes, receiving a first clinician input selecting at least one of the identified codes; and adding the selected code to an electronic record responsive to the first clinician input. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 21)
