An indexing scheme for medical free text searches: a prototype.

Full Abstract

At the Ohio State University Medical Center, a significant amount of valuable data pertaining to a patient's visit is stored in the form of dictated reports such as discharge summaries, cardiology reports, and radiology reports. We have implemented conceptual search capability to facilitate more comprehensive content mining from clinical free text.
