Research Interests

My research focuses on exploring different methods of automatically extracting phrases from unstructured ICU nursing notes and coding them into a standardized terminology. We are currently working to extract lists of diagnoses, medications, and symptoms from the notes using natural language processing and other methods. Useful applications of such a system would hopefully include helping to provide a good summary of a nursing note for researchers who otherwise would need to spend a lot of time reading through large amounts of data.
