title: MetaMapping the nursing procedure manual.
abstract: Nursing procedure manuals are an important resource for practice, but ensuring that the correct procedure can be located when needed is an ongoing challenge. This poster presents an approach used to automatically index nursing procedures with standardized nursing terminology. Although indexing yielded a low number of mappings, examination of successfully mapped terms, incorrect mappings, and unmapped terms reveals important information about the reasons automated indexing fails.
