This document discusses how artificial intelligence and natural language processing can help address challenges in healthcare data management and standards. Currently, there are many healthcare data standards but they are complex and difficult for doctors to use. Artificial intelligence approaches like word embeddings can help by analyzing large amounts of medical text to learn relationships between similar clinical terms and concepts without explicit programming of rules. This has the potential to help with tasks like mapping between different clinical coding standards and enabling interoperability between different healthcare data sources.
