Extraction of Vital Signs from Clinical Notes.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Assessment of vital signs is an essential part of surveillance of critically ill patients to detect condition changes and clinical deterioration. While most modern electronic medical records allow for vitals to be recorded in a structured format, the...

A Frequency-based Strategy of Obtaining Sentences from Clinical Data Repository for Crowdsourcing.

Studies in health technology and informatics
In clinical NLP, one major barrier to adopting crowdsourcing for NLP annotation is the issue of confidentiality for protected health information (PHI) in clinical narratives. In this paper, we investigated the use of a frequency-based approach to ext...

Extracting Dependence Relations from Unstructured Medical Text.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Dependence relations among disease and risk factors are a key ingredient in risk modeling and decision support models. Currently such information is either provided by experts (costly and time consuming) or extracted from data (if available). The pub...

Development and evaluation of task-specific NLP framework in China.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Natural language processing (NLP) has been designed to convert narrative text into structured data. Although some general NLP architectures have been developed, a task-specific NLP framework to facilitate the effective use of data is still a challeng...

Follow-up Recommendation Detection on Radiology Reports with Incidental Pulmonary Nodules.

Studies in health technology and informatics
The management of follow-up recommendations is fundamental for the appropriate care of patients with incidental pulmonary findings. The lack of communication of these important findings can result in important actionable information being lost in hea...

Identification of Incidental Pulmonary Nodules in Free-text Radiology Reports: An Initial Investigation.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Advances in image quality produced by computed tomography (CT) and the growth in the number of image studies currently performed has made the management of incidental pulmonary nodules (IPNs) a challenging task. This research aims to identify IPNs in...

Ontology-Driven Semantic Search for Brazilian Portuguese Clinical Notes.

Studies in health technology and informatics
The emerging penetration of Health IT in Latin America (especially in Brazil) has exacerbated the ever-increasing amount of Electronic Health Record (EHR) clinical free text documents.This imposes a workflow efficiency challenge on clinicians who nee...
