Developing a Semantically Based Query Recommendation for an Electronic Medical Record Search Engine: Query Log Analysis and Design Implications.

ABSTRACT:

Background

An effective and scalable information retrieval (IR) system plays a crucial role in enabling clinicians and researchers to harness the valuable information present in electronic health records. In a previous study, we developed a prototype medical IR system, which incorporated a semantically based query recommendation (SBQR) feature. The system was evaluated empirically and demonstrated high perceived performance by end users. To delve deeper into the factors contributing to this perceived performance, we conducted a follow-up study using query log analysis.

Objective

One of the primary challenges faced in IR is that users often have limited knowledge regarding their specific information needs. Consequently, an IR system, particularly its user interface, needs to
