June SNOMED CT Research Webinar

After a couple month hiatus we are back with our June SNOMED CT Research Webinar!
Join us on Wednesday, 29th June at 15UTC when Dr. Stefan Schultz of the Medical University of Graz, Austria will present 'Is SNOMED CT an appropriate reference terminology for mining electronic health records?'

Much content in EHRs is only available in narrative form. Information extraction based on NLP (Natural Language Processing) is therefore an important step towards interoperability of unstructured content. Based on the author's experience of automatically annotating German language clinical texts with SNOMED CT, this talk highlights lessons learnt and ongoing challenges, particularly regarding the match between clinicians' jargon and the language of controlled terminologies.
