1. A method for transforming narrative content into structured output that defines where individual information resides within the output, the method comprising the steps of:
- receiving narrative content;
scanning the narrative content using a natural language processing engine to identify at least one section and at least one clinical assertion within that section;
extracting information from the narrative content, wherein the extracted information includes clinical assertions and contextual information; and
identifying one or more clinical assertion elements which define a clinical assertion and assigning a clinical assertion element label to at least one clinical assertion element of the one or more clinical assertion elements based on a clinical model, wherein the label assigned to the at least one clinical assertion element is selected from a predetermined list, wherein the list is predetermined based on a clinical assertion type.

Abstract
Systems and methods described herein are for transforming narrative content into structured output. In some embodiments the narrative content is processed using a natural language processing (NLP) engine and a clinical model. The structured output can include a section, a clinical assertion, and a plurality of elements, wherein the elements may include section elements and clinical assertion elements that annotate the section and clinical assertions respectively. The elements can be labeled based on the clinical model.
