Methods and apparatus for formatting text for clinical fact extraction |
摘要 |
An original text that is a representation of a narration of a patient encounter provided by a clinician may be received and re-formatted to produce a formatted text. One or more clinical facts may be extracted from the formatted text. A first fact of the clinical facts may be extracted from a first portion of the formatted text, and the first portion of the formatted text may be a formatted version of a first portion of the original text. A linkage may be maintained between the first fact and the first portion of the original text. |

analyzing the formatted text to identify a set of one or more features of at least the first portion of the formatted text,correlating the set of features to one or more abstract semantic concepts, andgenerating computer-readable data that expresses the one or more abstract semantic concepts as the one or more clinical facts extracted from the formatted text; and providing to a user an indicator that distinguishes the first portion of the original free-form text narrative that resulted in extraction of the first fact, from other portions of the original free-form text narrative that did not result in the extraction of the first fact. |
