• Title: Toward Understanding Clinical Context of Medication Change Events in Clinical Narratives
• Authors: Diwakar Mahajan, Jennifer J Liang, Ching-Huei Tsou
• Abstract summary: We present the Contextualized Medication Event dataset (CMED), a dataset for capturing relevant context of medication changes documented in clinical notes. CMED consists of 9,013 medication mentions annotated over 500 clinical notes, and will be released to the community as a shared task in 2021.

• Abstract: Understanding medication events in clinical narratives is essential to achieving a complete picture of a patient's medication history. While prior research has explored classification of medication changes from clinical notes, studies to date have not considered the necessary clinical context needed for their use in real-world applications, such as medication timeline generation and medication reconciliation. In this paper, we present the Contextualized Medication Event Dataset (CMED), a dataset for capturing relevant context of medication changes documented in clinical notes, which was developed using a novel conceptual framework that organizes context for clinical events into various orthogonal dimensions. In this process, we define specific contextual aspects pertinent to medication change events, characterize the dataset, and report the results of preliminary experiments. CMED consists of 9,013 medication mentions annotated over 500 clinical notes, and will be released to the community as a shared task in 2021.

  We introduce a novel light-weight graph-based embedding method specifically catering radiology reports. It takes into account the structure and composition of the report, while also connecting medical terms in the report. We show the use of this embedding on two tasks namely disease classification of X-ray reports and image classification.

  This work explores the automatic extraction of medication change information from free-text clinical notes. The Contextual Medication Event dataset (CMED) is a corpus of clinical notes with annotations that characterize medication changes. Using CMED, we identify medication mentions in clinical text and propose three novel high-performing BERT-based systems that resolve the annotated medication change characteristics.

  We investigate cross-lingual knowledge transfer strategies to execute this task for clinics that do not use the English language. We evaluate these strategies for a Greek and a Spanish clinic leveraging clinical notes from different clinical domains. Our results show that using multilingual data overall improves clinical phenotyping models and can compensate for data sparseness.

  We propose annotation guidelines, develop an annotated corpus and provide baseline scores to identify types and direction of causal relations between a pair of biomedical concepts in clinical notes. We annotate a total of 2714 de-identified examples sampled from the 2018 n2c2 shared task dataset and train four different language model based architectures. The high inter-annotator agreement for clinical text shows the quality of our annotation guidelines while the provided baseline F1 score sets the direction for future research towards understanding narratives in clinical texts.

We report that CAPR outperforms strong baselines in the retrieval of domain-specific passages and effectively generalizes across rule-based and human-labeled passages.

  This paper introduces the technique of contextualized word embedding to better capture the semantic meaning of each word based on its context. We pre-train two deep contextualized language models, Clinical Embeddings from Language Model (C-ELMo) and Clinical Contextual String Embeddings (C-Flair) Explicit experiments show that our models gain dramatic improvements compared to both static word embeddings and domain-generic language models.

  Clinical case reports are written descriptions of the unique aspects of a particular clinical case.

We propose a novel computational resource platform, CREATe, for extracting, indexing, and querying the contents of clinical case reports.
