This technique segments unstructured clinical documents (such as HPI, PMH, and A&P sections) into contextually rich, canonical chunks. This is crucial for improving the precision of downstream NLP tasks like Named Entity Recognition (NER) and de-identification. By identifying and normalizing headers and mapping them to LOINC codes, the system ensures that the source context (e.g., historical vs. active) is maintained, leading to significantly more accurate results.
