Medication information is one of the free text clinical data in medical records. It is difficult to access medical records due to healthcare safety and patient information security. Clinical narratives are differing due to multilingualism, clinical report formats. Clinical information can be extracted with Natural Language Processing System based on medical domain. This paper contains a short review on NLP systems used for medical domain. Medical natural language systems are different due to their use of different applications in medical domain.

Abstract


Medication information is one of the free text clinical data in medical records. It is difficult to access medical records due to healthcare safety and patient information security. Clinical narratives are differing due to multilingualism, clinical report formats. Clinical information can be extracted with Natural Language Processing System based on medical domain. This paper contains a short review on NLP systems used for medical domain. Medical natural language systems are different due to their use of different applications in medical domain.
