Dynamic User Interfaces for Synchronous Encoding and Linguistic Uniforming of Textual Clinical Data
Sirel Raul · Frontiers in artificial intelligence and applications · 2012
This paper proposes a method for encoding textual clinical data while it is being produced by the practitioners. To perform this task, a prototypical user interface is introduced. The interface uses autocomplete-like technology and frequency distributions of terminology and common clinical phrases to support the author with terminologically and grammatically correct constructs. It is the aim of the suggestions to facilitate the data input process, grammatically and terminologically uniform clinical textual data in order to improve inter-doctor and doctor-patient communication, and encode the entered texts in real time to facilitate machine processing of clinical notes.
