MedProcNER/ProcTEMIST Guidelines: Annotation and Normalization of Clinical Procedures in Medical Documents

MedProcNER stands for MEDical PROCedure Named Entity Recognition. It is a shared task and set of resources focused on the detection, normalization and indexing of clinical procedures in medical documents in Spanish. MedProcNER is complementary to the DisTEMIST corpus (https://temu.bsc.es/distemist) as they both use the same document collection, which is why it's also called ProcTEMIST.

This repository includes the Annotation Guidelines, a 30+ pages-long document that describes how to annotateand normalize clinical procedures in medical documents. The guidelines are only available in Spanish.

MedProcNER was developed by the Barcelona Supercomputing Center's NLP for Biomedical Information Analysis and used as part of BioASQ @ CLEF 2023. For more information on the corpus, annotation scheme and task in general, please visit: https://temu.bsc.es/medprocner.
