Abstract

OBJECTIVE:  Distinguishing between medically indicated induction of labor (iIOL) and elective induction of labor (eIOL) is a daunting process for researchers. We aimed to develop a Natural Language Processing (NLP) algorithm to identify eIOLs from electronic health records (EHRs) within a large integrated health care system.
