Generating medical logic modules for clinical trial eligibility criteria.
Clinical trials are an important part of modern medical research, however the effort required to find candidates for participation in such trial is significant. With the increasing prevalence of electronic medical records, automated or semi-automated solutions become feasible. We present an semi-automated approach for determining clinical trial eligibility based on information available in an electronic medical record.
