PlateRunner: A Search Engine to Identify EMR Boilerplates.
Authors: Divita G, Workman TE, Carter ME, Redd A, Samore MH, Gundlapalli AV Abstract Medical text contains boilerplated content, an artifact of pull-down forms from EMRs. Boilerplated content is the source of challenges for concept extraction on clinical text. This paper introduces PlateRunner, a search engine on boilerplates from the US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) EMR. Boilerplates containing concepts should be identified and reviewed to recognize challenging formats, identify high yield document titles, and fine tune section zoning. This search engine has the capability to filter negated and asserted conc...

Search, Read and Write: An Inquiry into Web Accessibility for People with Dyslexia.
Authors: Berget G, Herstad J, Sandnes FE Abstract Universal design in context of digitalisation has become an integrated part of international conventions and national legislations. A goal is to make the Web accessible for people of different genders, ages, backgrounds, cultures and physical, sensory and cognitive abilities. Political demands for universally designed solutions have raised questions about how it is achieved in practice. Developers, designers and legislators have looked towards the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) for answers. WCAG 2.0 has become the de facto standard for universal design ...

Modeling Keyword Search Strategy: Analysis of Pharmacovigilance Specialists' Search of MedDRA Terms.
Authors: Marcilly R, Douze L, Bousquet C, Pelayo S Abstract In the information retrieval task, searching and choosing keywords to form the query is crucial. The present study analyzes and describes the keywords' search strategy into a thesaurus in the field of pharmacovigilance. Two ergonomics experts shadowed 22 pharmacovigilance specialists during their daily work. They focus on the strategies for searching and choosing MedDRA terms to build pharmacovigilance queries. Interviews of four pharmacovigilance specialists completed the observations. Results highlight that, for unusual or complex searches, pharmacovigil...

Evaluating Open-Source Full-Text Search Engines for Matching ICD-10 Codes.
Authors: Jurcău DA, Stoicu-Tivadar V Abstract This research presents the results of evaluating multiple free, open-source engines on matching ICD-10 diagnostic codes via full-text searches. The study investigates what it takes to get an accurate match when searching for a specific diagnostic code. For each code the evaluation starts by extracting the words that make up its text and continues with building full-text search queries from the combinations of these words. The queries are then run against all the ICD-10 codes until a match indicates the code in question as a match with the highest relative score. This m...

Investigating the Capabilities of FHIR Search for Clinical Trial Phenotyping.
In this study, we investigate the capabilities for expressing trial eligibility criteria via the search functionality specified in HL7 FHIR, an emerging standard for exchanging healthcare information electronically which also defines a set of operations for searching for health record data. Using a randomly sampled subset of 303 eligibility criteria from ClinicalTrials.gov yielded a 34 % success rate in representing them using the FHIR search semantics. While limitations are present, the FHIR search semantics are a viable tool for supporting preliminary trial eligibility assessment. PMID: 30147028 [PubMed - in process]

SEMCARE: Multilingual Semantic Search in Semi-Structured Clinical Data.
Authors: López-García P, Kreuzthaler M, Schulz S, Scherr D, Daumke P, Markó K, Kors JA, van Mulligen EM, Wang X, Gonna H, Behr E, Honrado Á Abstract The vast amount of clinical data in electronic health records constitutes a great potential for secondary use. However, most of this content consists of unstructured or semi-structured texts, which is difficult to process. Several challenges are still pending: medical language idiosyncrasies in different natural languages, and the large variety of medical terminology systems. In this paper we present SEMCARE, a European initiative designed to minimize these problem...

The Efficiency of Different Distance Metrics for Keyword-Based Search in Medical Documents: A Short Case Study.
In this study, the applicability of the most common string similarity measures were analyzed and compared for the keyword-based medical text search. RESULTS: The usefulness of the similarity measures was studied in a set of medical documents containing more than 20,000 echocardiography reports. Experimental results showed that the Jaro-Winkler dissimilarity measure is the most capable measure to explore the content of the medical texts. PMID: 32578568 [PubMed - in process]

Medication Apps - A Systematic Search and Classification.
Authors: Degelsegger-Márquez A, Trunner K, Piso B Abstract The landscape of mobile health applications is evolving rapidly. This includes a growing set of medication-related health apps. Keeping track of the functional diversity in medication apps is a challenge for both practitioners and regulators, limiting the scope of innovative use of digital technologies in healthcare service delivery. In this paper, we present the results of a systematic search and functional classification of medication apps. We combine this with a discussion of the current and future landscape of regulation and reimbursement decision-maki...

Developing a Comprehensive Search Strategy for the Systematic Review of Clinical Decision Support Systems for Nursing Practice
Stud Health Technol Inform. 2023 May 18;302:591-595. doi: 10.3233/SHTI230211.ABSTRACTThe search strategy of a literature review is of utmost importance as it impacts the validity of its findings. In order to build the best query to guide the literature search on clinical decision support systems applied to nursing clinical practice, we developed an iterative process capitalizing on previous systematic reviews published on similar topics. Three reviews were analyzed relatively to their detection performance. Errors in the choice of keywords and terms used in title and abstract (missing MeSH terms, failure to use common term...
