Abstract
Background/Aims Clinical text is an integral part of research at Group Health Research Institute (GHRI), supporting ongoing projects and new research proposals. Our clinical notes are stored in a single, full-text-indexed table that is populated nightly with all new notes in Group Health’s Electronic Medical Record (EMR). These notes include those generated internally and those received from partner organizations via electronic interfaces. Recently one of our partners changed its interface from sending formatted text to sending binary PDF files. While this had little effect on clinical users, it made a significant amount of text data inaccessible for computerized processing. This text was crucial to ongoing research, so we needed to find a way to preserve access.
