Electronic health records, or EHRs, have information about a patient's health such as test results, diagnoses, and treatments. EHRs also have clinical notes that doctors and patients can use to track goals and decisions.
Clinical notes may be useful for research or to help improve care. But it's hard to get information from these notes across large groups of patients. The notes may use different ways to describe the same thing. For example, high blood pressure may be called hypertension. Also, the notes may use abbreviations or have spelling mistakes.
In this project, the research team designed and built a search engine to make EHR notes easier to search and use for patient care and research.
