Video:Understanding NLP Technology with 3M

by Fred Pennic 03/27/2012 Leave a Comment

Imminent delay of ICD-10 has not stopped the healthcare providers who have the foresight to charge ahead in their preparation for ICD-10. One of the biggest components that would assist healthcare organizations in that preparation for ICD-10 is purchasing a Computer Assisted Coding software product. One of the key components of a computer assisted coding product is it’s Natural Language Processing (NLP) technology that provides the ability to highlight code-able terms in the patient record by auto suggesting codes where the coder will validate the suggested codes.

Understanding NLP technology is vital in the evaluation/selection process of a computer assisted coding product. During HIMSS12, HIT Consultant meet with Richard Woliniewicz, Ph.D, Director NLP Advanced Technology at 3M HIS where he goes in depth in breaking down the components of NLP technology.
