21
+ The National NLP Clinical Challenges (n2c2), organized in 2018, continued the
22
+ legacy of i2b2 (Informatics for Biology and the Bedside), adding 2 new tracks and 2
23
+ new sets of data to the shared tasks organized since 2006. Track 2 of 2018
24
+ n2c2 shared tasks focused on the extraction of medications, with their signature
25
+ information, and adverse drug events (ADEs) from clinical narratives.
26
+ This track built on our previous medication challenge, but added a special focus on ADEs.
27
+
28
+ ADEs are injuries resulting from a medical intervention related to a drugs and
29
+ can include allergic reactions, drug interactions, overdoses, and medication errors.
30
+ Collectively, ADEs are estimated to account for 30% of all hospital adverse
31
+ events; however, ADEs are preventable. Identifying potential drug interactions,
32
+ overdoses, allergies, and errors at the point of care and alerting the caregivers of
33
+ potential ADEs can improve health delivery, reduce the risk of ADEs, and improve health
34
+ outcomes.
35
+
36
+ A step in this direction requires processing narratives of clinical records
37
+ that often elaborate on the medications given to a patient, as well as the known
38
+ allergies, reactions, and adverse events of the patient. Extraction of this information
39
+ from narratives complements the structured medication information that can be
40
+ obtained from prescriptions, allowing a more thorough assessment of potential ADEs
41
+ before they happen.
42
+
43
+ The 2018 n2c2 shared task Track 2, hereon referred to as the ADE track,
44
+ tackled these natural language processing tasks in 3 different steps,
45
+ which we refer to as tasks:
46
+ 1. Concept Extraction: identification of concepts related to medications,
47
+ their signature information, and ADEs
48
+ 2. Relation Classification: linking the previously mentioned concepts to
49
+ their medication by identifying relations on gold standard concepts
50
+ 3. End-to-End: building end-to-end systems that process raw narrative text
51
+ to discover concepts and find relations of those concepts to their medications
52
+
53
+ Shared tasks provide a venue for head-to-head comparison of systems developed
54
+ for the same task and on the same data, allowing researchers to identify the state
55
+ of the art in a particular task, learn from it, and build on it.
