title: Towards automatic augmentation of electronic medical records with MEDLINE citations.
abstract: The adoption of Electronic Medical Records (EMR)is increasing every year even though the rate of adoption is slow. MEDLINE is adding thousands of new citations every day. It may be possible to enrich an EMR system with relevant information from NLM resources. During my elective at NLM I was assigned to evaluate the preliminary stages in designing and building a system, which automatically augment a patient's EMR with pertinent information from NLM resources. Clinical informatics experiments using content from real EMR is necessary to achieve the ultimate goal of automatic augmentation of the EMR with MEDLINE.
