===Minutes===

  - Note-type mapping Presentation – Karthik {{:projects:workgroups:ohdsi-nlp-wg1457551276.mp4|}}
        - INYP terminology services provides clinical document browser based on LOINC ontology for clinical notes. The paper describing the system is published and the pdf is attached. {{:projects:workgroups:loinc_note_mapping_paper.pdf|}}
        - the system allows for comparison of configs across different sites.
        - Vojtech also has looked into using LOINC ontology for note types. {{:projects:workgroups:loinc_note_types_marshall_clinic.pdf|}}
        - With reference to standard note types, one of the suggestions was to use it in the database for the output of the NLP system.
        - The note table in the OMOP CDM has a note type field with about 10 or so note types
        - 
        - Next steps:
          - Comparison of what aspects of LOINC is being used across different institutions.
          - One of the deliverable is to build a system that can map the institutional note type to the LOINC note types.
          - Update the note type field of the note table in OMOP CDM. Should a subset of LOINC document types be used for this purpose? this would depend on the real-world data from various institutions.
          - Ontologies such as CP, ICD-9 etc. that include more clinical terminologies should also be explored.
   - existing ontologies from Vanderbilt - Hua - {{:projects:workgroups:document-types.zip|}}
