Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Electronic health records (EHR) are of great value for clinical research. However, EHR consists primarily of unstructured text which must be analysed by a human and coded into a database before data analysis- a time-consuming and costly process limiting research efficiency. Natural language processing (NLP) can facilitate data retrieval from unstructured text. During AssistMED project, we developed a practical, NLP tool that automatically provides comprehensive clinical characteristics of patients from EHR, that is tailored to clinical researchers needs.
