MTIA 2009 - Healthstory Project Overview Dictation To Clinical Data

This document provides an overview of the Health Story Project, which aims to bridge the gap between narrative medical documents and structured clinical data. It discusses the current problems with electronic health records, including that structured documentation is time-consuming for physicians. The project seeks to encode clinical information from narrative documents like dictation to automate the production of structured, encoded documents. This would allow narrative documentation while also making more records available electronically.
