Unlabelled:
Physicians do not always keep the problem list accurate, complete and updated.
Objective:
To analyze natural language processing (NLP) techniques and inference rules as strategies to maintain completeness and accuracy of the problem list in EHRs.
Methods:
Non systematic literature review in PubMed, in the last 10 years. Strategies to maintain the EHRs problem list were analyzed in two ways: inputting and removing problems from the problem list.
Results:
NLP and inference rules have acceptable performance for inputting problems into the problem list. No studies using these techniques for removing problems were published Conclusion: Both tools, NLP and inference rules have had acceptable results as tools for maintain the completeness and accuracy of the problem list.
