EXPORT OF INFORMATION FROM MEDICAL RECORDS INTO DATABASE
Automatic analysis of medical records can help to improve our understanding of all diseases, their development and treatment. Main problem with it is that most medical records nowadays are stored in a semi-structured text, which makes automatic classification and analysis more difficult. One of the possible approaches towards process simplification is to export all relevant data from semi-structured health records into a database. We propose to use semantics-oriented approach for this, as it provides relative freedom in portability. With this aim disease ontology is used for intermediate representation of the domain. Ontology can be modified and expanded at any moment to adjust the system for another disease or medical area. Our contribution describes an experiment run on a set of medical records, which have already been exported to a database manually, and compares the obtained results to estimate efficiency of the method.
