Abstract:
This study describes MappICNP, an automatic method for mapping between Brazilian Portuguese clinical narratives in free text and International Classification for Nursing Practice (ICNP) concepts. It's composed of six natural language processing rules, related to terms comparison. A set of 2,638 terms extracted from hospitals nursing notes was mapped. MappICNP helps to map 1,607 terms, 113 less than a manual approach. The results demostrate its advantages in minimizing the time spent and reducing the scope of analysis through candidate terms of ICNP.
