Abstract
Systems and methods for analyzing a medical report to determine whether the medical report includes at least one instance of at least one category selected from a group consisting of: gender error, laterality error, and critical finding. In some embodiments, one or more portions of text are identified from the medical report. Contextual information associated with the medical report is used to determine whether the identified one or more portions of text comprise at least one instance of at least one category selected from the group.
Claims20
A system comprising at least one processor and at least one storage medium storing executable instructions, the at least one processor being programmed by the executable instructions to:
- analyze a medical report to determine whether the medical report includes at least one instance of at least one category selected from a group consisting of:
- gender error, laterality error, and critical finding, wherein analyzing the medical report comprises acts of:
- identifying, from the medical report, one or more portions of text;
- and
- using contextual information associated with the medical report to determine whether the one or more portions of text comprise at least one instance of at least one category selected from the group.
A method comprising:
- using at least one processor to analyze a medical report to determine whether the medical report includes at least one instance of at least one category selected from a group consisting of:
- gender error, laterality error, and critical finding, wherein analyzing the medical report comprises acts of:
- identifying, from the medical report, one or more portions of text;
- and
- using contextual information associated with the medical report to determine whether the one or more portions of text comprise at least one instance of at least one category selected from the group.
At least one computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, perform a method comprising:
- using at least one processor to analyze a medical report to determine whether the medical report includes at least one instance of at least one category selected from a group consisting of:
- gender error, laterality error, and critical finding, wherein analyzing the medical report comprises acts of:
- identifying, from the medical report, one or more portions of text;
- and
- using contextual information associated with the medical report to determine whether the one or more portions of text comprise at least one instance of at least one category selected from the group.
