Practical use case of natural language processing for observational clinical research data retrieval from electronic health records: AssistMED project.
Electronic health records (EHRs) contain data valuable for clinical research. However, they are in textual format and require manual encoding to databases, which is a lengthy and costly process. Natural language processing (NLP) is a computational technique that allows for text analysis. ⋯ NLP utilization in EHRs may accelerate data acquisition and provide accurate information for retrospective studies.
