Description

This Course provides learners with an in-depth understanding of Natural Language Processing (NLP) algorithms used for healthcare data extraction. The course explores how NLP techniques convert unstructured clinical text into structured data that supports decision-making, research, and interoperability. Students will study algorithms ranging from rule-based systems and statistical models to advanced deep learning architectures such as BiLSTM and transformers. Emphasis is placed on real-world applications, including extracting diagnoses, medications, and symptoms from Electronic Health Records (EHRs) and integrating these data with FHIR-based systems. Learners will also address challenges such as data privacy, bias, and algorithm interpretability in healthcare NLP deployments.

Describe core NLP algorithms used for healthcare data extraction and structuring. Differentiate between rule-based, machine learning, and deep learning approaches in clinical NLP. Apply NLP models such as Named Entity Recognition (NER) and dependency parsing to extract clinical terms. Evaluate algorithm performance using accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score. Discuss the challenges of applying NLP in medical contexts, including privacy, data quality, and bias. Examine real-world use cases of NLP-driven clinical systems and their impact on healthcare delivery.
Upon completing this Course learners will be able to: Define and recall core NLP concepts and algorithms used in clinical data extraction. Explain the workflow of NLP-based text processing in healthcare contexts. Apply appropriate NLP models to extract and structure information from unstructured medical text. Analyze algorithm performance using standard evaluation metrics and identify areas for improvement. Evaluate the security, privacy, and ethical dimensions of implementing NLP in healthcare systems. Design an NLP-driven data extraction pipeline integrated with EHR or FHIR platforms to support interoperability.
To successfully engage with this course, learners should have: Foundational knowledge of health informatics and clinical data systems. Basic understanding of machine learning concepts and data preprocessing. Familiarity with healthcare data formats such as EHRs, HL7, or FHIR. Introductory programming experience (e.g., Python) is recommended but not required.
