## Schema

| Column | Type | Description |
|--------|------|-------------|
| `text` | string | The generated clinical sentence |
| `category` | string | Clinical documentation category (e.g., sbar, hpi, soap_assessment) |
| `source_api` | string | Origin API of the medical term used in generation |
| `term` | string | The medical term the sentence was built around |
| `audience` | string | Target audience: `nursing` |

## Data Sources

Medical terms were collected from 11+ authoritative APIs and databases:

| Source | Terms | Notes |
|--------|------:|-------|
| cross_source | 37,410 | Multi-API combined terms |
| combined | 2,252 | Merged from multiple sources |
| nursing_curated | 366 | Hand-curated nursing terms |
| nursing_physician | 216 | Cross-audience nursing/physician terms |
| abbreviations | 2 | Medical abbreviations |
| snomed_ct | 1 | SNOMED CT terms |

## Generation Pipeline

1. **Term collection** from 11 medical terminology APIs (RxNorm, SNOMED CT, NCI Thesaurus, MeSH, LOINC, DailyMed, HCPCS, FDA, CMS, plus curated nursing terms and 104K medical abbreviations)
2. **Quality cleaning** with 12 rules (deduplication, length filtering, encoding fixes, garbage removal) -- removed ~10% low-quality entries
3. **Template-based sentence generation** using Qwen 3.5 2B with audience-specific templates (nursing clinical scenarios)
4. **Stratified splitting** into 70/15/15 train/validation/test by category
