Abstract

Reliable automatic solutions to extract structured information from free-text nursing notes could bring important efficiency gains in healthcare, but their development is hampered by the sensitivity and limited availability of example data. We describe a method for eliciting fictitious nursing documentation and associated structured documentation from volunteers and a resulting dataset of 397 Danish notes collected and annotated through a custom web application from 98 participating nurses. After some manual refinement, we obtained a high-quality dataset containing nurse notes with relevant entities identified. We describe the implementation and limitations of our approach as well as initial experiments in a named entity tagging setup.
