drug ner desc - apache/ctakes GitHub Wiki

This project adds the ability to identify attributes of drug mentions such as Dosage, Frequency, Frequency Unit, Route and Strength from either plaintext or CDA documents. It also provides the ability to specify which sections of a note contain drugs in a list format versus drug mentions within the narrative of the note. This allows for customized processing done on different sections and generally improves the quality of the annotations. This project utilizes various cTAKES components and hence requires cTAKES to be installed prior to using this component.
