  • Abstract
    An approach coined as ldquoreflective information managementrdquo is presented as a technique for the management of emergency department chief complaint information. The architecture of a system integrating principles from this approach is described and its performance is evaluated in providing categorical information from free-text chief complaints for use, e.g., in automated syndromic surveillance.
