A large proportion of the medical record currently available in computerized medical information systems is in the form of free text reports. While the accessibility of this source of data is improved through inclusion in the computerized record, it remains unavailable for automated decision support, medical research, and management of medical delivery systems. Natural language understanding systems (NLUS) designed to encode free text reports represent one approach to making this information available for these uses. Below we describe an experimental NLUS designed to parse the reports of chest radiographs and store the clinical data extracted in a medical data base.
目前计算机化医疗信息系统中可用的大部分病历都是自由文本报告的形式。虽然通过纳入计算机化记录提高了该数据源的可访问性,但它仍然无法用于自动化决策支持、医学研究和医疗交付系统的管理。旨在对自由文本报告进行编码的自然语言理解系统(NLUS)是使这些信息可用于这些用途的一种方法。下面我们描述一个实验性的NLUS,它旨在解析胸部X光片报告并将提取的临床数据存储在医学数据库中。
