Week 13 – Katie

The code I was working on is going well, but not complete yet; testing my own code has shown a few inconsistencies, which I've addressed as necessary.

This past week, on Dec. 8, we presented an overview of our project to a small research group here at Simmons, and a lot of the questions that were asked were helpful, particularly with respect to areas of inquiry we haven't considered explicitly. (Some were out of the scope of the project, but still good to keep in mind.)

I've been working on finding discrepancies in diabetes mentions in the clinical narratives, and additionally Rebecca has been working to address discrepancies in patients' smoking history. Before the end of the semester, our goal is to report some preliminary findings with regard to discrepancies in clinical narratives.
