Comprehensive Review of Deep learning Techniques in Electronic Medical Records

Abstract

A digital collection of patient’s health care data like diagnosis history of patient, treatment details, medical prescriptions are stored electronically. This electronic patient health records (EPHR) model provides huge volume of real time data and used for clinical research. Natural Language processing (NLP) automatically retrieve the patient’s information based on decision support system. NLP performs traditional techniques of machine learning, deep learning algorithms and focussing on word embeddings, classification and prediction, extraction, knowledge graphs, phenotyping, etc. By using NLP technique, extract the information from clinical data and analysis it provides valuable patient medical information. NLP based on clinical systems are evaluated on document level annotations which contains document of patient report, health status of patient, document section types contain past medical history of patient, summary of discharge statement, etc. similarly the semantic properties contain severity of disease in the aspects of positivity, negativity. These documents are developed and implemented on word level or sentence level. In this survey article, we summarize the recent NLP techniques which are used in EPHR applications. This survey paper focuses on prediction, classification, extraction, embedding, phenotyping, multilingually etc techniques.
