Ontologies, AI and Electronic Health Records

More about the Clinical and Translational Science Ontology Group (CTSOG) and previous meetings.

Feb 23 - 24, 2023 - Charleston, SC

Background

The Clinical and Translational Science Ontology Group (CTSOG) invites you to join us February 23-24, 2023, in Charleston, SC to discuss the role of ontologies in improving electronic health records (EHR) systems by advancing semantic interoperability, translational research, and artificial intelligence (AI). As health data increases in volume and complexity, and artificial intelligence applications gain momentum, the need for careful planning and interoperability becomes more critical. The purpose of this workshop is to explore new paradigms in EHRs, by examining successes and failures of ontologies and AI in different areas of biomedicine and their role in equitable healthcare.

Themes

  • Improving the EHR with ontologies and with AI
  • The functions of the EHR and other healthcare documents

Special Focus Areas:

  • Social Determinants of Health
  • Mental health
  • EHR across the lifespan

Speakers

  • Barry Smith: The Current State of Ontology In Clinical and Translational Science.
  • Justin Reese: Leveraging the Human Phenotype Ontology for an ML Approach to Identify Long COVID.
  • William Hogan: Semantic Representation of Occupations as Social Determinants of Health.
  • Yonghui Wu: A large language model for electronic health records. Abstract: Natural language processing (NLP) powered by pretrained language models is the key technology for medical AI systems utilizing clinical narratives. We develop from scratch a large clinical language model—GatorTron—using >90 billion words of text (including >82 billion words of de-identified clinical text). GatorTron models scale up the clinical language model from 110 million to 8.9 billion parameters and improve five clinical NLP tasks, which can be applied to medical AI systems to improve healthcare delivery.
