Abstract
AIMS: Patient data is frequently stored as unstructured data within Electronic Health Records (EHRs), requiring manual curation. AI tools using Natural Language Processing (NLP) may rapidly curate accurate real-world unstructured EHRs to enrich datasets. We evaluated this approach for Head and Neck Cancer (HNC) patient data extraction using an open-source general-purpose healthcare NLP tool (CogStack).
