Abstract: In the healthcare domain the analysis of Electronic Medical Records (EMR) may be classified as a Big Data problem since it has the three fundamental characteristics: Volume, Variety and Speed. A major drawback is that most of the information contained in medical records is narrative text, where natural language processing and text mining are key technologies to enhance the utility of medical records for research, analysis and decision support. Among the tasks performed for natural language processing, the most critical, in terms of time consumption, are the pre-processing tasks that give some structure to the original non-structured text. Studying existing research on the use of Big Data techniques in the healthcare domain reveals few practical contributions, especially for EMR analysis. To fill this gap, this paper presents BigTexts, a framework that provides pre-built functionalities for the execution of pre-processing tasks over narrative texts contained in EMR using Big Data tech niques. BigTexts enables faster results on EMR narrative text analysis improving decision making in healthcare. (More)
