Abstract:
The overall goal of MENELAS is to provide better access to the information contained in natural language patient discharge summaries, through the design and implementation of a pilot system able to access medical reports through natural languages. A first, experimental version of the MENELAS indexing prototype for French has been assembled. Its function is to encode free text PDSs into both an internal representation and ICD-9-CM nomenclature codes. A preliminary evaluation shows the potential for reasonable coverage and precision. The MENELAS prototype will be enhanced and extended into a pilot system which will be tested in two hospital sites.
