Discussions:
1. Sample CHV tables - the team agreed to create a table that links the string level, concept level, and term level IDs (like MRCON table of the UMLS).
2. white paper preparation is progressing well. the team will start sharing feedback on the draft manuscript.
3. the team will have an off-line meeting at AMIA in Chicago (Time and place TBD).

2. Qing provided comparison results of the consumer terms collected from the MedlinePlus queries and the health blog
3. Alla provided comparison results of the unmapped (to the UMLS) concepts from the MedlinePlus queries and the health blog.
4. The team reviewed the results and discussions will continue.

Discussions:
1. Preliminary descriptive statistics of the blog data mapping and reviewing results were produced: via algorithmic mapping with MMTx, roughly 30% found exact matches and 30% found partial matches in the UMLS. remaining 40% were not mapped to the UMLS
2. Comparison of the unmapped concepts in the MedlinePlus data and the blog data
3. The team discussed details of the AMIA Spring WG discussions such as topics, formats, and other logistics.

Discussions:
1. More than half of the concepts retrieved from the health blogs have corresponding concepts in the UMLS (i.e., mapped to the UMLS): the team will analyze further on the agreements among the reviewers and the characteristics of the unmapped concepts
2. The team will synthesize the MedlinePlus query data and the blog data to investigate common or distinct characteristics of the new consumer concepts discovered from each source.
3. The study on the MedlinePlus query data is shaping into a qualitiative one concentrating on describing the characteristics of the distinctively consumer concepts.
4. The preparation for including the CHV to the UMLS is making progress. The team have included 3000 additional concepts to the CHV. The familiarity scores have been revised.

Consumer Health Vocabulary Development and Use: Issues on the Research Agenda (click to go to the announcement)
Health consumers must be linked to health information in a way that makes sense to them. This goal assumes increasing urgency as Web-based health information seeking continues to grow in tandem with electronic health record initiatives. Four principal locations have been identified for the National Health Information Infrastructure in which health information is exchanged -- personal health; health care delivery; public health; and research. Effective communication within and between these domains demands active participation by all stakeholders, including laypeople that now include consumers as well as patients. This panel offers four parallel perspectives on the research agenda for consumer health vocabularies.
Panelists:
- Catherine Smith, University of Wisconsin-Madison
- Qing Zeng-Treitler, Harvard Medical School
- Alla Keselman, Aquilent, Inc. and National Library of Medicine
- Rita Zielstorff, PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP
Schedule:
Wednesday, May 23, 2007, 10:30 am - 12:00 pm
