BACKGROUND: ADR is a widely used colonoscopy quality indicator. Calculation of ADR is labor-intensive and cumbersome using current electronic medical databases. Natural language processing (NLP) is a method used to extract meaning from unstructured o...
OBJECTIVE: Electronic medical records (EMRs) contain medical knowledge that can be used for clinical decision support (CDS). Our objective is to develop a general system that can extract and represent knowledge contained in EMRs to support three CDS ...

With increased use of electronic medical records (EMRs), data mining on medical data has great potential to improve the quality of hospital treatment and increase the survival rate of patients. Early readmission prediction enables early intervention,...
Quality reporting that relies on coded administrative data alone may not completely and accurately depict providers' performance. To assess this concern with a test case, we developed and evaluated a natural language processing (NLP) approach to iden...
To facilitate the identification of contralateral breast cancer events for large cohort study, we proposed and implemented a new method based on features extracted from narrative text in progress notes and features from numbers of pathology reports f...
Medically complex patients consume a disproportionate amount of care resources in hospitals but still often end up with sub-optimal clinical outcomes. Predicting dynamics of complexity in such patients can potentially help improve the quality of care...
Increasing learning ability from massive medical data and building learning methods robust to data quality issues are key factors toward building data-driven clinical decision support systems for medicine prescription decision support. Here, we attem...
Monitoring the future health status of patients from the historical Electronic Health Record (EHR) is a core research topic in predictive healthcare. The most important challenges are to model the temporality of sequential EHR data and to interpret t...
In the USA, rare diseases are defined as those affecting fewer than 200,000 patients at any given time. Patients with rare diseases are frequently misdiagnosed or undiagnosed which may due to the lack of knowledge and experience of care providers. We...
