Key Coverage Matters: Semi-Structured Extraction of OCR Clinical Reports
Quick summary
arXiv:2605.09440v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Clinical reports are often fragmented across healthcare institutions because privacy regulations and data silos limit direct information sharing. When patients seek care at a different hospital, they often carry paper or scanned reports from prior visits. This hinders EHR integration and longitudinal review, and downstream applications that depend on more complete patient records, such as patient management, follow-up care, real-world studies, and clinical-trial matching. Although OCR can digitize such reports, reliable extraction remai
