ABSTRACT
We have been working on a new version of text generation component of the Intelligent Medical Record (IMR), a patient simulation program. The new text generator is based on American Bar Foundation (ABF) generation system to support the production of text for progress notes and for form letters. The old IMR produced a text report of patient encounters and also created a list of patient features, but this text contained a number of grammatical errors and disfluencies. The new ABF-based text generator runs on a variety of platforms, fixes the old generator errors, and incorporates standard vocabulary from the Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine Clinical Terms (SNOMED-CT).
