How Document Analysis application will work

CIRSImg

Application Objective

Document Analysis is an application intended for retrieving clinical information from patient documents. By using this information we build CAC (Computer Assisted Coding), Auto Query Alert System, Patient Admit Criteria Forms Automation and lot of other health care applications.

Application Scope

Currently application scope is limited to well text formatted documents. Documents in other formats like PDF,text Images or OCR..etc not supported.

What type of clinical information available in patient documents

Diseases, Signs and Symptoms, Procedures, Findings, Laboratory Tests, Medications, Vital signs, Treatment plan, admit information, past medical history ..etc dsd

Technical Stack and Knowledge resources used in Application

  • NLP Engine: [GATE](https://gate.ac.uk)[^1]
  • Java 8: [Java](http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/overview/java8-2100321.html)
  • Health care domain dictionaries
  • [JAPES](https://gate.ac.uk) for Medical Coding
  • Web Services: For DRG Grouping

    • Document processing using GATE work flow

    Step 1: Embedding GATE Framework into Application

    A. Initiating GATE
    1
2
        System.setProperty("gate.home", ConnectionFactory.getGateHome());
    Gate.init();
    B.Load GATE Plug-ins

         File pluginsHome = new File(Gate.getGateHome(), "plugins");
     Gate.getCreoleRegister().registerDirectories(new File(pluginsHome, "ANNIE").toURI().toURL());
     Gate.getCreoleRegister().registerDirectories(new File(pluginsHome, "ofai").toURI().toURL());
     Gate.getCreoleRegister().registerDirectories(new File(pluginsHome, "StringAnnotation").toURI().toURL());

    Step 3: Document Preprocessing

    some times document will get in different formats from same facility like, document may be in base64 format, or some times there is no proper line breaks conversion in Physician reports, to analysis documents properly we need specified format so we convert those documents in intended format 

    1
2
        // will get and preprocess all pending documents in 3,6,9 status
    {call GetDocFormatInDateDict()}

    Basically in above procedure we will decide document type by Document Type ID that is in 3,6,9.
    3,6 will denote that is physician document that need some line break replacement issues. and
    9 means source document is Base 64 format we will convert it into text format.

    Step 4: Retrieving Document by work type

    There are 4 types of analysis based on document work type namely

  • History and Physical Report

  • Operative Report
  • DIREP Report
  • Response Query Report
    • 1

        List.add("H");
    List.add("O");
    List.add("DIREP");
    List.add("RESQRY");
    while(String worktype:List){
    getHPMCDocument(worktype);
    }

    Query for getting pending documents by work type

        Select Top 100 DD.JobID,DD.SiteID,DD.Document,di.WorktypeId,di.Worktype,
    di.datedictcreated,di.AccountNo,v.PatientClass,DATEDIFF(MONTH,p.DOB,v.AdmitDate)/12 as 
    Age,
    DATEDIFF(DAY,p.DOB,v.AdmitDate) as AgeInDays,p.Sex,di.ReviewDay
    From Datedict DD
    inner join DocumentInfo DI on DD.JobId=DI.JobId
    inner join Visits v on v.AccountNumber=di.AccountNo
    inner join Patients p on p.PatientId=v.PatientID
    Where DD.Status=0 and di.ReviewDay is not null
    and (v.patientclass='I' and v.HospitalService not in ('13','16','30','40','71','94','96','97','VE','VB'))
    and v.admitdate is not NULL and v.admitdate<=GETDATE() and v.ploc_room!='' and Di.worktype in('RESQRY')

    Step 5: Building Document Corpus

    A: Create Corpus

    From step 4 we will get all pending documents that need to be analyze based on work type. The next step in the process is to build corpus for all these set of document using GATE gate.corpora.CorpusImpl class

            do {
                docCount++; int jobId = 0;
                try {
                    jobId = rs.getInt(1);
                    docList += jobId + ",";
                    fsiteId = rs.getInt(2);
                    String str = rs.getString(3);
                    FeatureMap features = Factory.newFeatureMap();
                    features.put("jobId", jobId);
                    // Other Required features added here ...
                    gate.Document document =  
                       (gate.Document) Factory.createResource("gate.corpora.DocumentImpl");
                    int wtid = Integer.parseInt(rs.getString(4));
                    if (wtid >= 200) {
                        features.put("mimeType", "text/html");
                    }
                    document.setFeatures(features);
                    document.setContent(new DocumentContentImpl(str));
                    document.setName(jobId + "");
                    corp.add(document);
                    document = null;
                    documentIds += jobId + ",";
                } catch (Exception e1) {
                    try {
                        writeLog(e1, "\n\n" + "problem with the document" + jobId);
                        getUpdateRunningDocCount();
                    } catch (Exception e) {
                        e.printStackTrace();
                    }
                }

            } while (docCount <= 100 && rs.next());//while
            docList = docList.substring(0, docList.length() - 1);

        } catch (Exception e) {
            writeLog(e, "Failed while building corpus");
        } finally {
            return docList;
        }
    B: Set Running status for documents

    After building corpus, we are ready to process documents, to make aware of these documents are running to front end user we will update status with 2, that means all status 2 documents are currently under running process.

            ("update DateDict set status=2 where jobid 
             in(" + docList + ") and status=0");
            st.close();
            con.close();
            System.gc();
    C: Delete Modified Cached List file Gaz bins

    In this we will delete cached list files is any are modified and will recreate Gaz bins again using update list files from system.

                DeleteGazbinFile.deleteGazbin1(file.getParent(),
                file.getAbsolutePath(),file.getName(),file);
             }
            } else if (file.isDirectory()) {
                resultList.addAll(deleteGazbin(file.getAbsolutePath()));
            }
        }

    Step 6: Document Processing with GATE default Resources & User defined list files (Dictionaries)

    A: Creation of GATE Controller

    Note

    Controllers are used to create GATE applications. A Controller handles a set of Processing Resources and can execute them following a particular strategy.GATE provides a series of serial controllers (i.e. controllers that run their PRs in sequence):

// create a serial analyser controller to run ANNIE with 
SerialAnalyserController annieController = 
 (SerialAnalyserController) Factory.createResource( 
    "gate.creole.SerialAnalyserController", 
    Factory.newFeatureMap(), 
     Factory.newFeatureMap(), "ANNIE"); 

// load each PR as defined in ANNIEConstants 
for(int i = 0; i < ANNIEConstants.PR_NAMES.length; i++) { 
  // use default parameters 
  FeatureMap params = Factory.newFeatureMap(); 
  ProcessingResource pr = (ProcessingResource) 
      Factory.createResource(ANNIEConstants.PR_NAMES[i], 
                             params); 
  // add the PR to the pipeline controller 
  annieController.add(pr); 
} // for each ANNIE PR 

// Tell ANNIE’s controller about the corpus you want to run on 
Corpus corpus = ...; 
annieController.setCorpus(corpus); 
// Run ANNIE 
annieController.execute();

                    Factory.newFeatureMap(), Factory.newFeatureMap(), "ANNIE_" + Gate.genSym());
    B: Add processing resources to controller and running corpus with resources

    In this section we will add GATE default processing resources to controller and will process corpus with this resources.

    D: User Defined JAPE2 for Clinical Information Pattern Recognition

    JAPE is a Java Annotation Patterns Engine. JAPE provides finite state transduction over annotations based on regular expressions. JAPE is a version of CPSL – Common Pattern Specification Language.

    As part of this we use almost 2453 unique JAPE files to retrieve clinical information from documents based on different modules requirement.

    Conclusion

    Conclusion

    The Primary intention for writing this application is to facilitate computer assisted medical coding feature to end user.But in the development process there is a lot of other clinical information has been analyzed and retrieved like Compliance Audits, Interqual, Milliman, Query Alerts, Admit orders and E & M Code.

    Following is the brief work flow of the application

    1. End user, client will define and provide requirements for data to be retrieved from clinical documents and will provide sample set of documents

    2. Developer will look into the context of requirement from lot of pre existing documents

    3. Next will gather required clinical information as List or Dictionary files

    4. Using GATE framework, it will generate primary annotation set (NER)

    5. Above that developer will write GRAMMAR (JAPE) rules according to requirement need

    6. Test on new documents, and continues trail and errors on new data and will finalize the new component and will integrate in existing system.

    Thank You
