Taxonomy Learning from Health Care Social Communities to Improve EHR Implementation

Abstract

Abstract-In this paper, we propose an approach to extract ontological structures from datasets generated by health care users of social networking sites. The objective of this approach is to exploit the user generated implicit semantics as a complement to more formalized knowledge representations. We aim for this latter to leverage the adoption level of the Electronic Health Record systems that are complaining from the shortage in standards and controlled vocabularies.
