MediNet: Navigating Health Care with the Medical Knowledge Graphs from Discharge Summaries
摘要
This paper introduces MediNet, a novel framework designed to facilitate healthcare navigation by constructing and utilizing medical knowledge graphs derived from discharge summaries. MediNet incorporates state-of-the-art Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques, including Named Entity Recognition (NER) facilitated by the Stanza library. By leveraging NER, MediNet extracts structured information from unstructured discharge summaries, covering essential aspects like diagnoses, treatments, test and outcomes. It integrates the Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) for entity normalization and employs a meticulous approach to relation extraction from section-wise entities. The implementation of MediNet signifies a notable progression in healthcare navigation and decision-making processes, providing substantial benefits to both patients and healthcare providers.
