Hi: Although we're testing a proof of concept with version 3.0 right now, I ran into a couple issues in parsing with the AggregatePlanTextUMLSProcessor. In testing the same processing with 3.1, I see significant improvements in performance and accuracy, but schema changes in the output. Specif

Last point: I seem to be interested in a current encounter (the now) and diagnosis, the article seems to be interested in an arguably just as useful tool, the longitudinal problem list (the ever), though very different I would think in approach.  Thoughts?  Jg — Sent from Mailbox for

This is a very good point. I can attest as a new user, these hurdles mentioned by Andy seem paramount to broader adoption. Just by-the-by I loved the Linux analogy Andy. At least, to a greater or lesser degree, it survived! JG On Tue, Oct 29, 2013 at 7:33 PM, andy mcmurry wrote: > Ricard: > > G
