Abstract

Natural language processing (NLP) methods would improve outcomes in the area of prehospital Emergency Medical Services (EMS) data collection and abstraction. This study evaluated off-the-shelf solutions for automating labelling of clinically relevant data from EMS reports. A qualitative approach for choosing the best possible ensemble of pretrained NLP systems was developed and validated along with a feature using word embeddings to test phrase synonymy. The ensemble showed increased performance over individual systems.
