Discharge Me: BioNLP ACL'24 Shared Task on Streamlining Discharge Documentation

"Discharge Me!", part of the BioNLP workshop co-located with ACL 2024, seeks
to alleviate the significant burden on clinicians who dedicate substantial
time to crafting detailed discharge notes in the EHR. Participants in the task
will explore approaches to generating "Brief Hospital Course" and "Discharge
Instructions" sections of the discharge summary using a subset of MIMIC-IV-
Note and MIMIC-IV-ED that have been compiled by the task organizers. The full
dataset (comprised of a defined training, validation, phase 1 testing, and
phase 2 testing sets) consists of 109,168 emergency department admissions. The
competition is being hosted on the Codabench platform, which will manage team
registration, results submission, and score evaluation.
