Abstract
We constructed an EMR-based medical knowledge network by extracting the medical entities. This network has the small-world and scale-free properties. Moreover, the community structure showed that entities in the same department have a tendency to be self-aggregated. Based on this network, a diagnosis model was proposed. This model uses only the symptoms as inputs and is not restricted to a specific disease. The experiments conducted demonstrated that EMKN is a simple and universal technique to integrate different medical knowledge from EMRs, and can be used for clinical decision support.
