Abstract
A system for creating a longitudinal view of patient findings includes a natural language processing engine which extracts clinical findings from a clinical document. A temporal resolution engine determines which other clinical documents the clinical findings belong to. A visualization graphical user interface indicates the correlation of the clinical findings between the clinical document and the other clinical documents. The natural language processing engine also links one or more images to the clinical findings.
Claims16
A system for creating a longitudinal view of patient findings, the system comprising:
- a natural language processor engine which extracts clinical findings from a clinical document;
- a temporal resolution engine which determines which other clinical documents the clinical findings belong to by analyzing the clinical document and the other clinical documents to determine matching image references and measurements between the clinical document and the other clinical documents, and wherein the other clinical documents relate to the patient;
- and
- a visualization graphical user interface which indicates a correlation of the clinical findings between the clinical document and the other clinical documents, wherein the visualization graphical user interface indicates the correlation of the clinical findings by highlighting, in the clinical document and the other clinical documents, measurements matching between the clinical document and the other clinical documents, and image references matching between the clinical document and the other clinical documents;
- wherein the natural language processor engine links one or more images to the clinical findings.
A method for creating a longitudinal view of patient findings, the method comprising:
- extracting clinical findings from a clinical document;
- determining which other clinical documents the clinical findings belong to by analyzing the clinical document and the other clinical documents to determine matching image references and measurements between the clinical document and the other clinical documents, and wherein the other clinical documents relate to the patient;
- indicating a correlation of the clinical findings between the clinical document and the other clinical documents on an interface by highlighting, in the clinical document and the other clinical documents, measurements matching between the clinical document and the other clinical documents, and image references matching between the clinical document and the other clinical documents;
- linking one or more images to the clinical findings.
