Medical reporting system and method

A system comprising:

• an electronic processor operably coupled to at least one memory and configured to:
• receive, 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;
• determine one or more suggested input strings associated with the partial textual input by:
• 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, the plurality of reference files comprising a plurality of reference input strings, wherein the plurality of reference files comprise different textual data relating to the determined type of arrhythmia in reference medical images;
• for each reference input string, identifying a frequency with which the reference input string appears in the plurality of reference files;
• and
• determining the one or more suggested input strings 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;
• and
• provide the one or more suggested input strings to the user as suggestions for completing the partial textual input.

One or more computer-readable storage media having instructions stored thereon, the instructions being executable by one or more processors to:

• receive, from a user comprising at least one of an individual or an institution, a partial textual input relating to a medical image, the medical image comprising a waveform, the partial textual input comprising a string of one or more characters;
• determine one or more suggested input strings associated with the partial textual input by:
• 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, the plurality of reference files comprising a plurality of reference input strings, wherein the plurality of reference files comprise different textual data relating to the determined type of arrhythmia in reference medical images;
• for each reference input string 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, wherein the plurality of reference files comprise different textual data relating to the determined type of arrhythmia in reference medical images;
• and
• determining the one or more suggested input strings 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, such that the one or more suggested input strings are determined from reference files matching the type of arrhythmia for the medical image to which the partial textual input relates;
• and
• provide the one or more suggested input strings to the user as suggestions for completing the partial textual input.
