Abstract
Artificial Intelligence technologies are every day more present in the medical domain. Several healthcare activities that were entirely done manually by experts in the past, now are reaching a high level of automatization thanks to a satisfactory integration between these technologies and the medical professionals. This is the case of the medical coding process, consisting on the annotation of clinical notes (free-text narrative reports) to standard medical classifications in order to align this information with the patients’ records. This paper presents a combination of NLP and semantic enrichment techniques to generate an extended Biomedical Knowledge Graph in order to be exploited in the development of our automatic medical coding solution.
