Hierarchical Annotation for Building A Suite of Clinical Natural Language Processing Tasks: Progress Note Understanding. (arXiv:2204.03035v1 [cs.CL])

Applying methods in natural language processing on electronic health records
(EHR) data is a growing field. Existing corpus and annotation focus on modeling
textual features and relation prediction. However, there is a paucity of
annotated corpus built to model clinical diagnostic thinking, a process
involving text understanding, domain knowledge abstraction and reasoning. This
work introduces a hierarchical annotation schema with three stages to address
clinical text understanding, clinical reasoning, and summarization. We created
an annotated corpus based on an extensive …
