Abstract

This paper describes a work performed in the framework of the HealthOnNet project purposed to define and implement an Internet-based repository of diagnostic exams and medical reports connecting several Italian hospitals. The repository, which will be used as an historical and legal archive of clinical data, offers second opinion teleconsulting features as well as advanced categorization and filtering services. The paper is focused on this latter point and describes the process and the algorithms we defined to automatically classify medical documents (with respect to the widely adopted International Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems of the World Health Organization) and to filter them on the basis of a user defined profile. Then it describes the developed prototype and some experimentation results.
