Abstract

Natural language processing (NLP) is a common method for supplying data to clinical research and decision making by extracting information from electronic medical records. Numerous textbooks and tutorials describe specific algorithms and applications for text processing, yet algorithmic knowledge is only one ingredient of a successful NLP project. Drawing on the available literature, this paper presents a stepwise approach that applies the Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC) to projects that rely on data extraction through language processing.
