Abstract: Searching for relevant medical guidance has turn out to be a general and notable task executed by internet users. This diversity of quantifiable information explorers indicates the enormous range of information needs and consequently, a key prerequisite for the development of clinical retrieval systems that would satisfy the clinical information desires of non-clinical professionals and their care givers. This study focused on designing an enhanced model for clinical consumers balanced based medical information retrievals and also proposed an improved system model that would provide simpler medical meanings for every clinical grammer(s) established on a clinical released documents and clinical search results online. We evaluated and compared the enhanced model with the current models in the clinical domain, namely, QLM (“Query Likelihood Model”), LSI (“Latent Semantic Indexing”) and CBA (“Concept Based Approach”) using MeSH, Metamap and UMLS databases. The outcomes gotten from the investigational study confirmed that, the Enhanced model (ECBA) managed to achieve 0.9145, 0.9170 and 0.9156 on MAP (“Mean Average Precision”), P@10 (“Precision @ 10”) and NDCG@10 (“Normalized Discontinued Cumulative Gains @ 10”) in that order. Hence, the superlative model to be deployed in addressing readability hitches is the Enhanced Concept Based method.

Keywords: Concept-based approach; medical discharge reports; clinical reports; query expansion; latent semantic indexing; query likelihood model
