A voice interface OCX can interface speech technologies with the selected user application programs of the medical dictation workflow system. The medical dictation workflow system may be directed to generating reports through filling out defined fields. The fields can be generated through a tracking system subscribing to a core reporting system and requesting certain information be captured or through a user. The voice interface OCX can provide macros so a user can customize the fields, navigate among the fields, or fill in the fields with data through a voice recognition engine or a wave player control. The data entered into the fields can be automatically entered into corresponding database elements of a database. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method of managing medical information comprising: associating database elements of a database interfaced with a medical system for guiding a patient's medical care with discrete document sections of a dictated document, wherein data is automatically entered into the database elements of the database when data related to medical information is received in the discrete document sections of the dictated document. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1 wherein the type of dictated document is created by a voice command. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1 wherein the type of dictated document is created by keyboard entry. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1 wherein the discrete document sections are created by a voice command. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1 wherein the dictated document comprises a table and the discrete document sections comprise cells. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the dictated document comprises a table and the discrete document sections comprise a cell for entering a medical value related to a mammography BI-RADS value or an oncology LI-RADS value. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the dictated document comprises a table and the discrete document sections comprise cells for entering medical data relating to a mammography lesion chart, mammography lexicons, or an Oswestry disability survey. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1 wherein data automatically entered into the database sections of the database updates or replaces existing or stored data cross-referenced into the dictated document. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1 wherein the database is associated with a plurality of documents or modules each with discrete sections, and wherein data received into any of the discrete sections of any of the plurality of documents or modules updates, replaces, or is entered into the corresponding database sections and discrete sections of the other documents or modules. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1 wherein the discrete document sections comprises discrete fields for receiving specified type of data. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1 further comprising directing further followup with the patient based on the data placed in the database sections. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The method of claim 10 wherein the subsequent dictation overwrites the existing dictation. ### Claim 12 A method of managing medical information comprising: receiving dictated text into a marked location within a textual representation of an existing dictation in an audio file based on subsequent dictation into a designated location within the existing dictation in the audio file, wherein the dictated text at the marked location is a textual representation of the subsequent dictation at the designated location. ### Claim 12 (depends on 10) The method of claim 10 wherein the existing dictation is created by a first user and the dictated text is created by a second user, the second user being different from the first user. ### Claim 13 (depends on 10) The method of claim 10 wherein the marked location comprises textual instructions for re-dictation. ### Claim 14 (depends on 10) The method of claim 10 wherein the designated location comprises voice instructions for re-dictation. ### Claim 15 (depends on 10) The method of claim 10 wherein the subsequent dictation at the designated location is automatically converted into the dictated text at the marked location. ### Claim 16 A system for managing medical information comprising: a server comprising a database interfaced with a medical system for guiding a patient's medical care, wherein the database comprises database sections, and a first computer connected to the server for receiving dictated text into a first document, wherein the first document comprises discrete document sections corresponding with the database sections of the database, wherein data related to the dictated text received into the discrete document sections is automatically entered into the database sections. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The system of claim 16 wherein the first document is a table and the discrete document sections comprise cells. ### Claim 18 (depends on 16) The system of claim 16 wherein the document is a lesion table for a mammography report and the discrete document sections comprise cells for entering data relating to a lesion. ### Claim 19 (depends on 16) The system of claim 16 wherein a second document is generated based on data entered into the database sections of the database from the first document. ### Claim 20 (depends on 16) The system of claim 16 wherein data automatically entered into the database sections of the database updates or replaces existing or stored data.
