Lay Summary :
The purpose of this project is to help identify medication information from textual information in the health record. The results of this will be made available for use by other CRIS projects. As well as extracting basic medication information such as drug name/ dose/ route/ frequency (currently covered by the existing medication application), the application will aim to ascertain the initiation and cessation times for these medications, and whether the person being mentioned is the patient or someone else. The aim is to provide a more complete picture behind the mention of medications.<br/>
