Context-based ontology building support in clinical domains using formal concept analysis.
TL;DR: Under the framework of the ontology building support system using FCA, the clinical experts could reach a mass of both linguistic information and context-based knowledge that was demonstrated as useful to support their ontologyBuilding tasks.
Methodological Review Mining complex clinical data for patient safety research: a framework for event discovery
TL;DR: This work has created a framework for electronic detection that includes selecting target events, assessing what information is available electronically, transforming raw data such as narrative notes into a coded format, querying the transformed data, verifying the accuracy of event detection, characterizing the events using systems and cognitive approaches, and using what is learned to improve detection.

TL;DR: The high proportion that are due to management errors suggests that many others are potentially preventable now, and reducing the incidence of these events will require identifying their causes and developing methods to prevent error or reduce its effects.

TL;DR: Adverse drug events were common and often preventable; serious ADEs were more likely to be preventable and prevention strategies should target both stages of the drug delivery process.
