The Untapped Potential of Mining Clinical Text for Research
Please join the C. Kennth and Dianne Wright Center for Clinical and Translational Research and the Tompkins-McCaw Library for their Whetting Your Appetite for Research lunch research seminar, where senior bioinformatics specialist Amy Olex will discuss applications being developed and used at VCU to mine Electronic Health Records for data that can be used in research.
Unstructured clinical text contains relevant and medically important information about patients, but this information is difficult to use as it is buried in EHR. Natural Language Processing, an aspect of artificial intelligence, can be utilized to access the untapped potential of information in clinical texts and EHR systems.
Olex will also present an example of how NLP is being used in a research grant to improve state-of-the-art surveillance systems for the opioid epidemic.
Participants can bring lunch, drinks will be provided.
