medExtractR:Extraction of Medication Information from Clinical Text
Function and support for medication and dosing information extraction from free-text clinical notes. Medication entities
for the basic medExtractR implementation that can be extracted
include drug name, strength, dose amount, dose, frequency,
intake time, dose change, and time of last dose. The basic
medExtractR is outlined in Weeks, Beck, McNeer, Williams,
Bejan, Denny, Choi (2020) <doi: 10.1093/jamia/ocz207>. The
extended medExtractR_tapering implementation is intended to
extract dosing information for more tapering schedules, which
are far more complex. The tapering extension allows for the
extraction of additional entities including dispense amount,
refills, dose schedule, time keyword, transition, and
preposition.
