Abstract
Computer program products, methods, systems, apparatus, and computing entities are described for identifying significant incidental findings from medical records. In one example embodiment, an example computing device receives a medical report and derives a textual component from the medical report. The computing device then identifies one or more medical findings from the textual component and determines a clinical context for each of the one or more medical findings. The computing device then identifies one or more clinical cues from the one or more medical findings and generates one or more condition signals from the one or more clinical cues. The computing device then generates a condition alert from the one or more condition signals. The condition alert is indicative of a significant incidental finding. Using various embodiments contemplated herein, significant incidental findings can be identified for follow-up by a user.
