提升医疗报告提取准确率,关键在于覆盖更多核心字段。
Key Coverage Matters: Semi-Structured Extraction of OCR Clinical Reports

- 基于OCR文本构建可扩展的关键词库,动态优化抽取能力。
- 覆盖前90个核心字段时,模型F1达0.839(精确匹配)和0.893(边界容忍)。
- 适用于中文及其他语言的医疗报告,适合低资源本地部署场景。
临床报告因隐私法规与数据孤岛常分散于不同医疗机构。患者转诊时携带纸质或扫描件,阻碍电子病历整合与长期随访,影响患者管理、真实世界研究及临床试验匹配等应用。尽管光学字符识别(OCR)可数字化报告,但可靠信息提取仍具挑战,因文档异构性强、文本噪声多,且许多场景需低成本本地部署。本文将此问题建模为基于OCR文本的条件化抽取式问答,针对关键字段不固定且未知的开放性键空间,通过迭代挖掘、归一化、聚类与轻量人工验证维护标准键库,并引入‘键覆盖率’度量库存完整性。使用0.2B参数的BERT模型,在20多家医院的真实报告上实验表明,性能随键覆盖率单调提升。当覆盖前90个标准键时,模型在精确匹配和边界容忍匹配下分别取得0.839和0.893的F1分数。结果表明键覆盖率是端到端性能的关键因素。在覆盖前90键时,本方法优于微调后的Qwen3-0.6B基线。虽标注语料为中文,但方法依赖半结构化报告中通用的键值组织模式,仅需适配标准键库与别名映射即可推广至其他语言环境。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Clinical reports are often fragmented across healthcare institutions because privacy regulations and data silos limit direct information sharing. When patients seek care at a different hospital, they often carry paper or scanned reports from prior visits. This hinders EHR integration and longitudinal review, and downstream applications that depend on more complete patient records, such as patient management, follow-up care, real-world studies, and clinical-trial matching. Although OCR can digitize such reports, reliable extraction remains challenging because clinical documents are heterogeneous, OCR text is noisy, and many healthcare settings require low-cost on-premise deployment. We formulate this problem as canonical key-conditioned extractive question answering over OCR-derived clinical reports. Because the key fields are neither fixed nor known in advance, the key space is open. We maintain a canonical key inventory through iterative key mining, normalization, clustering, and lightweight human verification, and introduce key coverage as a metric to quantify inventory completeness. Using a 0.2B BERT-based model, experiments on real-world reports from more than 20 hospitals show performance improves monotonically with key coverage. The model achieves F1 scores of 0.839 and 0.893 under exact match and boundary-tolerant matching, respectively, once the Top-90 canonical keys are covered. These results show that key coverage is a dominant factor for end-to-end performance. At Top-90 coverage, our model outperforms a fine-tuned Qwen3-0.6B baseline under exact match. Although our annotated corpus is Chinese, the method relies on the language-agnostic key-value organization of semi-structured clinical reports and can be adapted to other settings given an appropriate canonical key inventory and alias mapping.
