Computer-assisted assessment of patient care in the hospital

Abstract: Using his natural language medical text analyzing system, the author has computer-processed the discharge summary segment of the patient record. The output of the text analyzer is a list of medical facts. The low-cost, high productivity process is eminently suited for screening the quality of clinical care provided in the hospital.

“…[30][31][32] A number of natural language processing systems are based on symbolic methods such as pattern matching or rule-based techniques and have been applied to health care. [30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45] These systems have varied in approach: pure pattern matching, syntactic grammar, semantic grammar, or probabilistic methods, with different tradeoffs in accuracy, robustness, scalability, and maintainability. These systems have done well in domains, such as radiology, in which the narrative text is focused, and the results for more complex narrative such as discharge summaries are promising.…”

“…Even if it might be possible, as a second step, to extract the pertinent facts by an advanced computerized analysis this is an indirect and also halfhearted approach. Gabrieli (1988) describes a linguistic analysis of natural language in the patient record for assessing the capability of the medical care. Problems of this kind seem very difficult.…”

“…Generic screening had a high potential in automated screening systems; as hospital information systems advanced, the various adverse events monitored as a part of generic screening systems could be integrated into a system that automatically alerted for cases that needed further clinical review. Gabrieli [ 56 ] asserted that computers had the potential to mechanize a major portion of the quality assurance work, and the challenge was to codify the medical intelligence necessary to monitor the quality of care provided for a price that was affordable. Gabrieli had developed computer-based patient records and automated analysis techniques for discharge summaries, and had concluded that for audit purposes the discharge summary was well suited as a source document.…”
