Abstract

As an important entity in medical texts, time information plays an important role in structuring medical information and supporting clinical decision-making. In this paper, time expressions in Chinese electronic medical record text of depression are studied. The method combines regular expressions with Conditional random fields (CRFs) to recognize time expressions in Chinese electronic medical records. The test data are realistic electronic medical records of depression provided by a hospital in Beijing. The proposed method uses regular expressions to initially recognize the explicit time expression in the text, and adds a dictionary of common drugs and symptoms of depression to the word segmentation, which increases the accuracy of word segmentation. External dictionary features are optimized, and dictionaries are divided into time modifier dictionary, time representation dictionary and event dictionary, which effectively improve the accuracy and recall rate of conditional random field recognition results. Experiments show that the accuracy and recall rate of this method are 96.75% and 93.33% respectively.
