The emerging penetration of Health IT in Latin America (especially in Brazil) has exacerbated the ever-increasing amount of Electronic Health Record (EHR) clinical free text documents.This imposes a workflow efficiency challenge on clinicians who need to synthesize such documents during the typically time-constrained patient care. We propose an ontology-driven semantic search framework that effectively supports clinicians' information synthesis at the point of care.
