Text preprocessing methods are first applied in the standardization of clinical narratives, such as text tokenization, text normalization, text lemmatization, text segmentation, and text negation detection. Next, the unstructured text is converted into structured clinical variables with the help of feature extraction techniques, including named entity recognition, medical concept normalization using UMLS\/SNOMED ontologies, generating contextual embeddings, and vectorizing text using the Term Frequency\u2013Inverse Document Frequency (TF-IDF) technique. Bayesian Networks are then used to model these features, with dependency structure learning based on the Poor-and-Rich Optimization algorithm (PRO), having the ability to explore probabilistic relationships efficiently, and parameter estimation based on expectation\u2013maximization, providing robust learning with incomplete and uncertain conditions of data. Lastly, probabilistic reasoning and inference are used to predict diseases, prioritize risks and make clinical inferences with clear measures of uncertainty and interpretability. Experimental analysis of real-world MIMIC-IV clinical notes indicates that the framework is more effective in terms of diagnostic accuracy, predictive strength, and clinical explainability than traditional machine learning methods, resulting in a scaled and explainable framework of intelligent clinical decision support systems in complex care settings.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/a19060466","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,9]],"date-time":"2026-06-09T00:43:54Z","timestamp":1780965834000},"page":"466","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["A Probabilistic Clinical Decision Support Information System Framework Using NLP and Bayesian Networks with Poor-and-Rich Optimization"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-1353-1286","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Meruyert","family":"Zhuman","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Higher School of Information Technology and Engineering, Astana International University, Astana 010000, Kazakhstan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6139-6270","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Guldana","family":"Taganova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Higher School of Information Technology and Engineering, Astana International University, Astana 010000, Kazakhstan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Assel","family":"Abdildayeva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Software Engineering, International Engineering and Technological University, Almaty 050060, Kazakhstan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nurbolat","family":"Tasbolatuly","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Higher School of Information Technology and Engineering, Astana International University, Astana 010000, Kazakhstan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mira","family":"Kaldarova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Higher School of Information Technology and Engineering, Astana International University, Astana 010000, Kazakhstan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Assem","family":"Shayakhmetova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Artificial Intelligence and BigData, The Al-Farabi Kazakh National University, Almaty 050040, Kazakhstan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dametken","family":"Baigozhanova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Higher School of Information Technology and Engineering, Astana International University, Astana 010000, Kazakhstan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Assemgul","family":"Tynykulova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Higher School of Information Technology and Engineering, Astana International University, Astana 010000, Kazakhstan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e44977","DOI":"10.2196\/44977","article-title":"Deployment of real-time natural language processing and deep learning clinical decision support in the electronic health record: Pipeline implementation for an opioid misuse screener in hospitalized adults","volume":"11","author":"Afshar","year":"2023","journal-title":"JMIR Med.
