Abstract

Unstructured clinical notes contain a huge amount of information. We investigated the possibility of harvesting such information through an NLP-based approach. A manually curated ontology is the only resource required to handle all the steps of the process leading from clinical narrative to a structured data warehouse (i2b2). We have tested our approach at the Papa Giovanni XXIII hospital in Bergamo (Italy) on pathology reports collected since 2008.
