Background:
Electronic Medical Records(EMRs) contain much medical information about patients. Medical named entity extracting from EMRs can provide value information to support doctors' decision making. The research on information extraction of Chinese Electronic Medical Records is still behind that has done in English.
Methods:
This paper proposed a practical annotation scheme for medical entity extraction on Resident Admit Notes (RANs), and a model which can automatic extract medical entity. Nine types of clinical entities, four types of clinical relationships were defined in our annotation scheme. An end-to-end deep neural network with convolution neural network and long-short term memory units was applied in our model for the medical named entity recognition(NER).
Result:
We annotated RANs in three rounds. The overall F-score of annotation consistency was up to 97.73%. And our NER model on the 255 annotated RANs achieved the best F-score of 91.08%.
Conclusion:
The annotation scheme and the model for NER in this paper are effective to extract medical named entity from RANs and provide the basis for fully excavating the patient's information.

Electron Carriers

Common Names of Aldehydes and Ketones
Common names of aldehydes are derived from the names of their corresponding acid. For instance, the two-carbon aldehyde–acetaldehyde derives its name from the corresponding acid–acetic acid. Similarly, formaldehyde derives its name from formic acid and benzaldehyde from benzoic acid.
Aliphatic ketones are named by suffixing the word “ketone” to the...
