Dataset Description

Homepage: https://portal.dbmi.hms.harvard.edu/projects/n2c2-nlp/
Pubmed: False
Public: False
Tasks: NER,RE

The i2b2/VA corpus contained de-identified discharge summaries from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Partners Healthcare, and University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC). In addition, UPMC contributed de-identified progress notes to the i2b2/VA corpus. This dataset contains the records from Beth Israel and Partners.

The 2010 i2b2/VA Workshop on Natural Language Processing Challenges for Clinical Records comprises three tasks:

a concept extraction task focused on the extraction of medical concepts from patient reports;
an assertion classification task focused on assigning assertion types for medical problem concepts;
a relation classification task focused on assigning relation types that hold between medical problems, tests, and treatments.

i2b2 and the VA provided an annotated reference standard corpus for the three tasks. Using this reference standard, 22 systems were developed for concept extraction, 21 for assertion classification, and 16 for relation classification.

To use the datasets, visit https://portal.dbmi.hms.harvard.edu/, find the dataset page, register, and request access. You have to explain your use case to them, and they will decide if they will give you access.
