Automated Information Extraction from Electronic Health Records,(09/07-08/08)
A grant funded by Computing Research Association Multidisciplinary Research Opportunity for Women (MRO-W) Program ($22,500). It will support 3 female undergraduate students and has four specific aims :
Aim A) To what degree does a concept representation help in extracting medical conditions and side-effects?
Aim B) To what degree does deep language processing enable the detection of negated findings?
Aim C) To what degree does deep language processing enable differentiation between current and historical medical history in particular previous medications?
Aim D) How well do automated information extraction techniques work with respect to identifying data from electronic medical records that is critical for pharmacoepidemiology research?
