Description
In MIMIC-III, there are multiple types of clinical notes (echo, nursing, physician, discharge summary,...).
It seems like MIMIC-IV Notes only releases discharge summaries and radiology notes. Are other note categories (like physician, nursing, etc,...) still available somewhere else in MIMIC-IV? Or were these never published? If so, is there a specific reason for only publishing discharge summaries?
I am asking since I'm interested in linking free-text clinical notes taken on a certain day to objective measurements observed during the same day. This seems possible in MIMIC-III: for the nursing and physician note types, I can match with the chartevents table using chartdate to extract objective measurements on the same date. This does not seem possible in MIMIC-IV, since discharge summaries are only written at the end of the patient's stay and thus don't relate to a specific day of objective measurements. Am I correct in making this assumption?
Thanks!
