Abstract

Heart failure is a common chronic disease which is associated with high re-hospitalization and mortality rates. Within the telemedicine-assisted transitional care disease management program HerzMobil, monitoring data such as daily measured vital parameters and various other heart failure related data are collected in a structured way. Additionally, involved healthcare professionals communicate with one another via the system using free-text clinical notes. Since manual annotation of such notes is too time-consuming for routine care applications, an automated analysis process is needed. In the present study, we established a ground truth classification of 636 randomly selected clinical notes from HerzMobil based on annotations of 9 experts with different professional background (2 physicians, 4 nurses, and 3 engineers). We analyzed the influence of the professional background on the inter annotator reliability and compared the results with the accuracy of an automated classification algorithm. We found significant differences depending on the profession and on the category. These results indicate that different professional backgrounds should be considered when selecting annotators in such scenarios.
