Formal representation of patients' care context data: the path to improving the electronic health record.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To develop a collection of concept-relationship-concept tuples to formally represent patients' care context data to inform electronic health record (EHR) development.

Materials and methods

We reviewed semantic relationships reported in the literature and developed a manual annotation schema. We used the initial schema to annotate sentences extracted from narrative note sections of cardiology, urology, and ear, nose, and throat (ENT) notes. We audio recorded ENT visits and annotated their parsed transcripts. We combined the results of each annotation into a consolidated set of concept-relationship-concept tuples. We then compared the tuples used within and across the multiple data sources.

Results

We annotated a total of 626 sentences. Starting with 8 relatio
