Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for mapping clinical terminology with natural language processing. In one embodiment, an example method includes generating a word relationship graph for a plurality of mappings between a first code set and a second code set, receiving a first code of the first code set, and automatically mapping a second code of the second code set to the first code based on the word relationship graph. In this way, seemingly different code descriptions from different medical vocabularies may be automatically mapped to each other with reduced processing and reduced human intervention.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- generating a word relationship graph for a plurality of mappings between a first code set and a second code set;
- receiving a first code of the first code set;
- and
- automatically mapping a second code of the second code set to the first code based on the word relationship graph.
A method comprising:
- preparing a dataset including mappings between a first code set and a second code set;
- generating a word relationship graph with the prepared dataset;
- and
- determining a mapping for a given code of the first code set using the generated word relationship graph.
A system comprising:
- a processor;
- a computer-readable storage medium;
- and
- executable program instructions embodied in the computer-readable storage medium that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
- generate a word relationship graph for a plurality of mappings between a first code set and a second code set;
- receive a first code of the first code set;
- and
- automatically map a second code of the second code set to the first code based on the word relationship graph.
