MedLEE is a text processor that extracts and structures clinical information from textual reports and translates the information to terms in a controlled vocabulary. Clinical information can then be accessed by further automated procedures. It has been used in radiology, discharge summaries, sign out notes, pathology reports, electrocardiogram reports, and echocardiogram reports, and can readily be ported to other clinical domains. MedLEE is the only comprehensive and operational natural language processor (NLP) system formally shown to be as accurate as physicians in interpreting narrative medical records.
