Abstract
A computer-assisted method of abstracting and coding data includes receiving one or more documents is disclosed. The methods and systems extract information from a record based on extraction rules that correspond to an identified record type, determine codes corresponding to the information extracted from the record, present the correspondence between the extracted information and the codes, receive from the user-input device a validation of the correspondence between the extracted information and one of the codes, and output a report including the validated information and the validated code.
Claims2
A method of abstracting and coding information by a computer including:
- a processor,
- an information storage device,
- a display device, and
- a user-input device,
- said method comprising:
- extracting by the processor information from a record based on extraction rules stored in the information storage device, said extraction rules corresponding to an identified record type;
- determining by the processor a plurality of codes corresponding to the information extracted from the record, said codes belonging to one or more sets of codes stored in the information storage device;
- presenting on the display device the correspondence between the extracted information and the codes;
- receiving from the user-input device a validation of the correspondence between the extracted information and one of the codes;
- and
- outputting by the processor a report including the validated information and the validated code.
