First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving, at a computing device and from a user, a partial textual input relating to medical data comprising a medical image, the medical image comprising a waveform, the partial textual input comprising a string of one or more characters, wherein the partial textual input is received within a data form, the data form comprising a plurality of input fields, and wherein the partial textual input is received within a first input field of the plurality of input fields;
determining, using the computing device, one or more most clinically common input strings associated with the partial textual input based in part on a portion of the data form within which the user provided the partial textual input, wherein determining the one or more most clinically common input strings comprises;
analyzing the waveform of the medical image to determine a type of arrhythmia for the medical image;
identifying, within a database, a plurality of reference files matching the determined type of arrhythmia for the medical image, wherein the plurality of reference files comprise different textual data relating to the determined type of arrhythmia in reference medical images, and wherein two or more of the plurality of reference files comprise a data field corresponding to the first input field of the data form;
for each reference input string of a plurality of reference input strings contained within one or more of the plurality of reference files, identifying a frequency with which the reference input string appears in the data field corresponding to the first input field in the identified plurality of reference files; and
determining the one or more most clinically common input strings from among the plurality of reference input strings based on the frequencies with which the reference input strings appear in the data field corresponding to the first input field within the identified plurality of reference files, such that the one or more most clinically common input strings are determined from reference files matching the type of arrhythmia for the medical image to which the partial textual input relates; and
providing the one or more most clinically common input strings to the user as suggestions for completing the partial textual input.

Abstract
Systems and methods for use in providing input relating to medical data are provided. A method includes receiving a partial textual input relating to medical data. The method further includes determining one or more suggested input strings associated with the partial textual input. Determining the suggested input string(s) includes: (1) for each of a plurality of reference input strings contained within one or more of a plurality of reference files within a database, identifying a frequency with which the reference input string appears in the plurality of reference files, and (2) determining the suggested input string(s) further includes determining the suggested input string(s) from among the plurality of reference input strings based on the frequencies with which the reference input strings appear in the plurality of reference files. The method further includes providing the suggested input string(s) to the user as suggestions for completing the partial textual input.
