All the information obtained from the UH database was subsequently complemented with electronic health record (EHR) information captured via EMERSE (Electronic Medical Record Search Engine) in order to obtain the most accurate and complete information per patient, avoiding high missingness. |
| Rao et al. |
We used EMERSE (Electronic Medical Record Search Engine) to identify relevant terms in all EHR notes (unstructured data) from the inpatient, outpatient, pathology, and radiology systems...In addition to the ability to search for specific terms, EMERSE allows for the easy searching of synonyms included within the tool (e.g. "depression" and "depressed mood" can be considered synonyms). EMERSE also allows for the creation of term bundles with Boolean logic to more efficiently search for relevant terms and exclude other terms. |

EMERSE suggests variations for ‘terms’ to assist in capturing constructs that may be written differently by numerous providers including potential for common misspelling (e.g., ‘suicide,’ ‘suicid,’ ‘sucide’). A total of 83 suicide-related search terms were suggested and used...EHRs of the 3429 patients were reviewed in EMERSE to confirm inclusion criteria were met. |
| Watson et al. |
We used the Electronic Medical Record Search Engine (EMERSE) database and a series of predefined search terms listed in Table1 to facilitate thorough chart review. Reviewers used the EMERSE search tool to ensure thorough review of the available documentation...

The tool used in this study, EMERSE...specifically searches clinical documentation within the electronic medical records...searching through >2 million unique patients. By utilizing the rich and complex data contained in the clinicians' visit notes, the tool avoids the pitfalls of diagnostic inaccuracy seen with tools querying on ICD and billing codes, which are particularly limited in the case of catatonia.

Utilizing EMERSE to identify natural language elements in patient charts as our reference standard, which has been previously reported, allowed for efficient processing of a large number of patient charts.

Term bundles for food insecurity included terms such as food stamps, food pantry, and meals on wheels. Examples of terms related to homelessness included housing assistance, emergency shelter, and living in their car. EMERSE served as an innovative digital tool and essential component of this research study. EMERSE...has the potential to help practitioners, researchers, and administrators more effectively gather EHR data quickly and efficiently.

NSAID use data were abstracted...using EMERSE... which permitted the text of clinical notes and other documentation to be queried within 30 days of C. difficile testing. Keywords included a comprehensive list of terms for NSAIDs, including trade names.
