Abstract

PURPOSE: Electronic medical records are a valuable source of information about patients' clinical status but are often free-text documents that require laborious manual review to be exploited. Techniques from computer science have been investigated, but the literature has marginally focused on non-English language texts. We developed RUBY, a tool designed in collaboration with IBM-France to automatically structure clinical information from French medical records of patients with breast cancer.
