AMIA Annu Symp Proc. 2008 Nov 6:1105.

Abstract

In this paper we describe a project to map natural language expressions of nursing-related concepts to standard ontologies in support of an evidence-based nursing initiative. Natural language concept expressions are identified from syntheses of nursing knowledge and mapped to ICNP and SNOMED-CT.
