As part of a national collaborative group headed by Mayo Clinic, we are building tools to make it possible to re-use clinical data for purposes other than the patient care for which they were collected. Our efforts include natural language processing to identify salient facts and relationships in narrative textual data, defining classification models that can identify specific phenotypes from patient records, and defining ontologies to organize the relevant medical knowledge needed for these tasks.
