Continuous adapting system for medical code look up

An automated system for searching a medical coding database, the system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• a memory accessible by the one or more processors, the memory including instructions executable by the one or more processors, the instructions configured to:
• receive a particular look-up term associated with a particular medical classification code, the particular look-up term including one or more words;
• create a set of indices derived from the particular look-up term, wherein each index in the set of indices comprises a string containing at least three contiguous characters from the particular look-up term, the first character of the string being the first character of one of the one or more words of the particular look-up term;
• associate each index in the set of indices to the particular medical classification code;
• and
• store the set of indices and the associated particular medical classification code into an indexing table of the medical coding database.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising instructions executable by one or more processors to:

• receive a particular look-up term associated with a particular medical classification code, the particular look-up term including one or more words;
• create a set of indices derived from the particular look-up term, wherein each index in the set of indices comprises a string containing at least three contiguous characters from the particular look-up term, the first character of the string being the first character of one of the one or more words of the particular look-up term;
• associate each index in the set of indices to the particular medical classification code;
• and
• store the set of indices and the associated particular medical classification code into an indexing table of the medical coding database.
