An Electronic Medical Record (EMR) records information on patients by computers instead of by paper. Many medical documents, including EMRs that describe the treatment information of patients, are text information. Such text information is complicated. The data arrangement and retrieval of such text parts become difficult because they are often described in a free format; the words, phrases, and expressions are too subjective and reflect each writer. In the present study, we considered the text data of the nursing record within Electronic Medical Records of the University of Miyazaki Hospital.
