The Triage Note attempts to capture the events and circumstances leading up to the decision to visit the ED. Events in the triage note are often not recorded in the order in which they occurred but rather in the order in which they are reported. In addition, patients typically do not use absolute terms to describe the timing of these events. Instead, they rely on relative phrases such as <jats:italic>yesterday<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>this morning.<\/jats:italic> Using a temporal information extraction system, we examine the variation in frequency of these relative temporal expressions over time of day. We then suggest interpretation rules for translating this \u2018natural time\u2019 used by people to the \u2018logical time\u2019 necessary for the automatic placement of the associated events in the proper sequence on a timeline. The research described here serves as a building block to support the automated creation of timelines with the goal of aiding clinicians and others in visualizing the patterns of events which led to the patient's visit to the Emergency Department.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/meet.2008.1450450278","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,6,3]],"date-time":"2009-06-03T09:48:20Z","timestamp":1244022500000},"page":"1-8","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["It's all relative: Usage of relative temporal expressions in triage notes"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"45","author":[{"given":"Tessa","family":"Sullivan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Ann","family":"Irvine","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Stephanie W","family":"Haas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2009,6,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.7551\/mitpress\/1050.001.0001","volume-title":"About Time : Inventing the Fourth Dimension","author":"Friedman W.","year":"1990"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_3_1","unstructured":"Haas S.
