Hi Jim,
I'm wondering whether you know of anyone, or even yourself (I know you're
busy so don't lose too much sleep over it) that has knowledge of natural
language parsing into SNOMED and LOINC codifications. I'm currently
finishing off the basic stuff in the EMR and would like to get into some of
the fun stuff.
I have done a lit search and found an article which describes couplet
searching, i.e. taking a term like "pneumoccocal bacterial pneumonia" by
searching "pneumococcal bacterial" and "bacterial pneumonia" consecutively.
