NOTE
Admission Date: 2015-12-25
New Patient
The patient is a 59-year-old female, who was experiencing
mild chest pain on the left side. The patient states that she
slipped on a newly waxed floor and fell on her tailbone and
low back region.
She would like to lose some weight through dieting.
Complains of dry mouth even though drinking plenty of
water.
The pt is allergic to Morphine Sulfate.
No fh of colorectal CA. Last colonoscopy in Kansas City, May
2012.
Past Medical History:
• DM2
• Asthma
Shx:
Pt has a remote 10 pack-year smoking history. Occasional
ETOH drink.
Height 173 cm, weight 78.8 kg, blood pressure 114/80
Lab data:

Current Process for Extracting Valuable Patient Information
Time Consuming
• Manually browsing multiple documents
• Searching for key words
• Pasting key findings into separate forms
Expensive
• Review process is commonly done by subject matter
experts
Risk of Inaccuracy
• Hard for humans to consistently maintain high level
of accuracy due to volume and demand of review
Leverage cNLP
to Make Your
Data Actionable

WE BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF ACCURATE DATA
REFERENCE DATA
MANAGEMENT
Centralize and manage your clinical,
claims, administrative data, and
clinical concepts, to streamline data
governance and improve operational
efficiencies.
CNLP FOR
UNSTRUCTURED DATA
Extract amd codify clinical concepts
locked in unstructured text by
leveraging clinical synonyms and
acronyms to identify gaps-in-care and
improve quality of care.
INTEROPERABILITY /
DATA NORMALIZATION
Achieve semantic interoperability
by mapping non-standard/standard
data to standard terminologies for
accurate analytics.
