Toward a clinical text encoder: pretraining for clinical natural language processing with applications to substance misuse.

Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association : JAMIA
OBJECTIVE: Our objective is to develop algorithms for encoding clinical text into representations that can be used for a variety of phenotyping tasks.

A Machine-Learning Algorithm to Optimise Automated Adverse Drug Reaction Detection from Clinical Coding.

Drug safety
INTRODUCTION: Adverse drug reaction (ADR) detection in hospitals is heavily reliant on spontaneous reporting by clinical staff, with studies in the literature pointing to high rates of underreporting [1]. International Classification of Diseases, 10t...

Linking Health Records with Knowledge Sources Using OWL and RDF.

Studies in health technology and informatics
This paper describes a method by which the Web Ontology Language (OWL) can be used to specify a highly structured health record, following internationally recognised standards such as ISO 13606 and HL7 CDA. The structured record is coded using scheme...

Comparison of Natural Language Processing and Manual Coding for the Identification of Cross-Sectional Imaging Reports Suspicious for Lung Cancer.

JCO clinical cancer informatics
PURPOSE: To compare the accuracy and reliability of a natural language processing (NLP) algorithm with manual coding by radiologists, and the combination of the two methods, for the identification of patients whose computed tomography (CT) reports ra...

Development of an Automatic Coding System for Digestive Endoscopies.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Digestive endoscopies, along with all medical procedures in France are coded with the CCAM. This task is done by the physicians, is time-consuming and requires a good knowledge of the terminology besides a medical knowledge. This method offers an aut...

Comparative Analysis of Algorithmic Approaches for Auto-Coding with ICD-10-AM and ACHI.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Clinical coding is done using ICD-10-AM (International Classification of Diseases, version 10, Australian Modification) and ACHI (Australian Classification of Health Interventions) in acute and sub-acute hospitals in Australia for funding, insurance ...

Predicting Length of Stay for Obstetric Patients via Electronic Medical Records.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Obstetric care refers to the care provided to patients during ante-, intra-, and postpartum periods. Predicting length of stay (LOS) for these patients during their hospitalizations can assist healthcare organizations in allocating hospital resources...

An Introduction to Natural Language Processing: How You Can Get More From Those Electronic Notes You Are Generating.

Pediatric emergency care
Electronically stored clinical documents may contain both structured data and unstructured data. The use of structured clinical data varies by facility, but clinicians are familiar with coded data such as International Classification of Diseases, Nin...
