Introducing NEW RPDR Notes Search Functionality

Introducing NEW RPDR Notes Search Functionality

The RPDR is excited to announce improvements and updates to our clinical Notes Search functionality! This functionality allows researchers to query clinical notes for specific text terms and phrases in order to identify patient cohorts who have notes/reports that contain the searched text. As with other RPDR item types, note search items can be combined with additional criteria (i.e. diagnoses, procedures, etc.) to construct queries for patient cohorts of interest.

  • There are now over 135 million notes available for querying including EPIC Ambulatory Notes. We download the latest notes and reports from EPIC nightly.

  • Users can now search for specific terms and phrases within the same note or within any note. This allows for more robust search capabilities.

  • We have improved performance and the ability to search through millions of notes and reports within a matter of seconds.

For further information, please see the Notes Search ontology and functionality in the RPDR Query Tool or email us at RPDRHelp@partners.org.
