Retrieval and Clustering of Medicines Within Healthcare Data Records
Publication Type:
Refereed Original Article
Abstract:
Electronic Health Records (EHRs) are typically designed to
electronically document all information that is administratively
and clinically relevant in a patient's use of a healthcare
facility. This paper intends to improve discoverability
of medications which may exist within the narrative-based
free-text notes of patients' health care data records. This
led us to introduce a context sensitive approach to retrieve
candidate pharmaceuticals. Additionally, a combination of
contraction promotion and clustering based upon edit distance
will be utilised to increase the precision of this process
