1. A method comprising:
- collecting an initial set of clinical information documenting a medical practitioner'"'"'s encounter with a patient, the encounter being of a particular type;
determining, based on the particular type of the encounter, information that one or more reporting standards specify for inclusion in documentation of encounters of the particular type;
analyzing the initial set of clinical information with respect to the information specified by the one or more reporting standards, using a processor, to identify additional information that is specified by the one or more reporting standards for documenting the particular type of patient encounter and that is not included in the initial set of clinical information documenting the encounter; and
prompting a user to record the additional information specified by the one or more reporting standards for documenting the encounter between the medical practitioner and the patient.

Abstract
A computer implemented method for generating a report that includes latent information, comprising receiving an input data stream that includes latent information, performing one of normalization, validation, and extraction of the input data stream, processing the input data stream to identify latent information within the data stream that is required for generation of a particular report, wherein said processing of the input data stream to identify latent information comprises of identifying a relevant portion of the input data stream, bounding the relevant portion of the input data stream, classifying and normalizing the bounded data, activating a relevant report template based on said identified latent information, populating said template with template-specified data, and processing the template-specified data to generate a report.
