Abstract:
In the context of hospital information systems (HIS) medical free text analysis is reviewed with respect to current automated approaches to literature retrieval, case retrieval and fact retrieval from textual data in the patient record. The Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) project has enormously stimulated current research. It is expected that UMLS knowledge sources and SNOMED III (which need a translation into other languages as soon as possible) as well as the conceptual graphs formalism, could become standards to utilize free text information contained in HIS databases.
