Abstract

This paper proposes DISEArch, a novel strategy for searching electronic health records (EHR) of patients that have a specific disease. The objective of DISEArch is to enhance research activities on disease analysis allowing researchers to describe the disease they are interested on, and providing them the EHRs that best match their description. Its principle is to improve the precision of searching EHRs combining the analysis of structured attributes with the analysis of narrative text attributes producing a semantic ranking of EHRs with respect to a given disease. DISEArch is useful in medical systems where the information about the primary diagnosis of patients may be hidden in narrative text hindering the automatic detection of relevant records for clinical studies.
