Natural Language Processing (NLP)
Posted by: Crystal Williams on: January 3, 2019
Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a programming technique to find and extract data of interest from text documents. NLP can sometimes involve a simple search for known text strings but is often more complex due to the ways that human beings use language. For example, the concept of smoking could be expressed in many different ways in a text document, such as “has never smoked”, “used to smoke 3 packs a day”, “recently quit smoking”, “is in a smoking cessation program”. The Center for Clinical NLP, with faculty and staff from the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, the Johns […]
Data Extraction Overview
Posted by: Michelle Diaz on: January 3, 2019
Clinical researchers often need data from Johns Hopkins data systems in order to conduct their study. The ICTR Informatics Core (i2c) is pleased to provide multiple services to assist researchers with their IRB-approved data needs. Most often, researchers are seeking data from the Epic medical record system. Epic is used at the Johns Hopkins Hospital, Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center, Howard County General, Sibley Memorial, Suburban Hospital, and Johns Hopkins Community Physicians. In addition to manual chart abstraction, researchers have a few different options for getting data from Epic: Use existing Epic reports, with the approval of the Epic Research […]
Data Trust
