NlpService
A service to analyzing healthcare documents.
| AnalyzeEntities | 
|---|
| 
 Analyze heathcare entity in a document. Its response includes the recognized entity mentions and the relationships between them. AnalyzeEntities uses context aware models to detect entities. This method can only analyze documents written in English. 
 | 
AnalyzeEntitiesRequest
The request to analyze healthcare entities in a document.
| Fields | |
|---|---|
| nlp_service | 
 The resource name of the service of the form: "projects/{project_id}/locations/{location_id}/services/nlp". | 
| document_content | 
 document_content is a document to be annotated. | 
| licensed_vocabularies[] | A list of licensed vocabularies to use in the request, in addition to the default unlicensed vocabularies. | 
| alternative_output_format | Optional. Alternative output format to be generated based on the results of analysis. | 
AlternativeOutputFormat
Predefined list of available alternative output formats
| Enums | |
|---|---|
| ALTERNATIVE_OUTPUT_FORMAT_UNSPECIFIED | No alternative output format is specified. | 
| FHIR_BUNDLE | FHIR bundle output. | 
LicensedVocabulary
Predefined list of available licensed vocabularies
| Enums | |
|---|---|
| LICENSED_VOCABULARY_UNSPECIFIED | No licensed vocabulary specified. | 
| ICD10CM | ICD-10-CM vocabulary | 
| SNOMEDCT_US | SNOMED CT (US version) vocabulary | 
AnalyzeEntitiesResponse
Includes recognized entity mentions and relationships between them.
| Fields | |
|---|---|
| entity_mentions[] | The  | 
| entities[] | The union of all the candidate entities that the entity_mentions in this response could link to. These are UMLS concepts or normalized mention content. | 
| relationships[] | relationships contains all the binary relationships that were identified between entity mentions within the provided document. | 
| Union field alternative_output_format. The alternative supported format if the config was included in the request.alternative_output_formatcan be only one of the following: | |
| fhir_bundle | 
 The FHIR bundle ( | 
Entity
The candidate entities that an entity mention could link to.
| Fields | |
|---|---|
| entity_id | 
 entity_id is a first class field entity_id uniquely identifies this concept and its meta-vocabulary. For example, "UMLS/C0000970". | 
| preferred_term | 
 preferred_term is the preferred term for this concept. For example, "Acetaminophen". For ad hoc entities formed by normalization, this is the most popular unnormalized string. | 
| vocabulary_codes[] | 
 Vocabulary codes are first-class fields and differentiated from the concept unique identifier (entity_id). vocabulary_codes contains the representation of this concept in particular vocabularies, such as ICD-10, SNOMED-CT and RxNORM. These are prefixed by the name of the vocabulary, followed by the unique code within that vocabulary. For example, "RXNORM/A10334543". | 
EntityMention
An entity mention in the document.
| Fields | |
|---|---|
| mention_id | 
 mention_id uniquely identifies each entity mention in a single response. | 
| type | 
 The semantic type of the entity: UNKNOWN_ENTITY_TYPE, ALONE, ANATOMICAL_STRUCTURE, ASSISTED_LIVING, BF_RESULT, BM_RESULT, BM_UNIT, BM_VALUE, BODY_FUNCTION, BODY_MEASUREMENT, COMPLIANT, DOESNOT_FOLLOWUP, FAMILY, FOLLOWSUP, LABORATORY_DATA, LAB_RESULT, LAB_UNIT, LAB_VALUE, MEDICAL_DEVICE, MEDICINE, MED_DOSE, MED_DURATION, MED_FORM, MED_FREQUENCY, MED_ROUTE, MED_STATUS, MED_STRENGTH, MED_TOTALDOSE, MED_UNIT, NON_COMPLIANT, OTHER_LIVINGSTATUS, PROBLEM, PROCEDURE, PROCEDURE_RESULT, PROC_METHOD, REASON_FOR_NONCOMPLIANCE, SEVERITY, SUBSTANCE_ABUSE, UNCLEAR_FOLLOWUP. | 
| text | text is the location of the entity mention in the document. | 
| linked_entities[] | linked_entities are candidate ontological concepts that this entity mention may refer to. They are sorted by decreasing confidence. | 
| temporal_assessment | How this entity mention relates to the subject temporally. Its value is one of: CURRENT, CLINICAL_HISTORY, FAMILY_HISTORY, UPCOMING, ALLERGY | 
| certainty_assessment | The certainty assessment of the entity mention. Its value is one of: LIKELY, SOMEWHAT_LIKELY, UNCERTAIN, SOMEWHAT_UNLIKELY, UNLIKELY, CONDITIONAL | 
| subject | The subject this entity mention relates to. Its value is one of: PATIENT, FAMILY_MEMBER, OTHER | 
| confidence | 
 The model's confidence in this entity mention annotation. A number between 0 and 1. | 
| additional_info[] | Additional information about the entity mention. For example, for an entity mention of type  | 
Feature
A feature of an entity mention.
| Fields | |
|---|---|
| value | 
 The value of this feature annotation. Its range depends on the type of the feature. | 
| confidence | 
 The model's confidence in this feature annotation. A number between 0 and 1. | 
LinkedEntity
EntityMentions can be linked to multiple entities using a LinkedEntity message lets us add other fields, e.g. confidence.
| Fields | |
|---|---|
| entity_id | 
 entity_id is a concept unique identifier. These are prefixed by a string that identifies the entity coding system, followed by the unique identifier within that system. For example, "UMLS/C0000970". This also supports ad hoc entities, which are formed by normalizing entity mention content. | 
EntityMentionRelationship
Defines directed relationship from one entity mention to another.
| Fields | |
|---|---|
| subject_id | 
 subject_id is the id of the subject entity mention. | 
| object_id | 
 object_id is the id of the object entity mention. | 
| confidence |
