Determining incident codes using a decision tree

A system, comprising:

• a memory;
• a processing device, operatively coupled to the memory to:
• receive a request to create an incident report;
• build a decision tree from decision tree data stored in a data storage device, wherein the decision tree comprises a plurality of incident codes and a plurality of incident attributes, and wherein the decision tree links one or more of the plurality of incident attributes to a leaf node comprising an incident code;
• generate one or more questions pertaining to the one or more incident attributes of the decision tree;
• display one or more answers corresponding to the one or more questions;
• utilize the one or more answers to traverse the decision tree to arrive at an additional question;
• determine that the traversal of the decision tree results in an arrival at the leaf node comprising the incident code;
• and
• generate the incident report using the determined incident code.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to:

• receive a request to create an incident report;
• build a decision tree from decision tree data stored in a data storage device, wherein the decision tree comprises a plurality of incident codes and a plurality of incident attributes, and wherein the decision tree links one or more of the plurality of incident attributes to a leaf node comprising an incident code;
• generate one or more questions pertaining to the one or more incident attributes of the decision tree;
• display one or more answers corresponding to the one or more questions;
• utilize the one or more answers to traverse the decision tree to arrive at more questions;
• determine that the traversal of the decision tree results in an arrival at the leaf node comprising the incident code;
• and
• generate the incident report using the determined incident code.
