A new natural language processing (NLP) application for COVID-19 related information extraction from clinical text notes is being developed as part of our pandemic response efforts. This NLP application called DECOVRI (Data Extraction for COVID-19 Related Information) will be released as a free and open source tool to convert unstructured notes into structured data within an OMOP CDM-based ecosystem. The DECOVRI prototype is being continuously improved and will be released early (beta) and in a full version.
