Background: The exploration of clinically relevant information in the free text of electronic health records (EHRs) holds the potential to positively impact clinical practice as well as knowledge regarding Crohn disease (CD), an inflammatory bowel disease that may affect any segment of the gastrointestinal tract. The EHRead technology, a clinical natural language processing (cNLP) system, was designed to detect and extract clinical information from narratives in the clinical notes contained in EHRs.

Objective: The aim of this study is to validate the performance of the EHRead technology in identifying information of patients with CD.

Background: Clinical natural language processing (cNLP) systems are of crucial importance due to their increasing capability in extracting clinically important information from free text contained in electronic health records (EHRs). The conversion of a nonstructured representation of a patient's clinical history into a structured format enables medical doctors to generate clinical knowledge at a level that was not possible before. Finally, the interpretation of the insights gained provided by cNLP systems has a great potential in driving decisions about clinical practice.

This paper presents a pioneering and practical experience in the development and implementation of a clinical decision support system (CDSS) based on natural language processing (NLP) and artificial intelligence (AI) techniques. Our CDSS notifies primary care physicians in real time about recommendations regarding the healthcare process. This is, to the best of our knowledge, the first real-time CDSS implemented in the Spanish National Health System.
