NBSE → National Board of Medical Examiners
NBSE conducts exam for physicians, scoring them on basis of “patient notes” which is a note that a physicians are required to make after analyzing patient’s symptoms.
The accuracy of these notes can have direct effect on a patient.
map “clinical concept” features provided to the patient’s note annotation.
- id = pair of patient note and feature, (pn_num_feature_num)
- case_num = case to which patient note belongs
- pn_num = patient note annotated in this row.
- feature_num = the feature annotated in this row.
- annotation = text within a patient note indicating a feature
- location = character span indicating location of each annotation within the note.
- feature_num = unique id for feature
- case_num = case in which patient belongs.
- feature_text = description of the feature.
- pn_num = unique id for patient note
- case_num = reference to clinical case a patient note represents
- pn_history = text of encounter by test taker.
The biggest challenge is a feature can be expressed in many ways example-
Feature → “loss of interest in activities”
expressed → “no longer plays tennis”
