Development of a Custom Spell-Checker for Emergency Department Data
Content Type: Abstract
Emergency department (ED) syndromic surveillance relies on a chief complaint, which is often a free-text field, and may contain misspelled words, syntactic errors, and healthcare-specific and/or facility-specific abbreviations. Cleaning of the chief… read more… a chief complaint, which is often a free-text field, and may contain misspelled words, syntactic errors, and … abbreviations.
