Now that electronic health records are commonly used, the availability of clinical texts is growing. This workshop discusses the automatic analysis of textual clinical health data to advance medical research and improve healthcare related services. We especially encourage presentations discussing possibilities to share clinical texts, models and tools for clinical natural language processing (NLP). In practice, privacy- and legal regulations prevent the free sharing and combination of electronic health records themselves, but de-identified texts, NLP tools and intermediate results may be shared. We hope that sharing will promote cooperation within the Dutch-speaking countries, as well as advance the research in Clinical NLP in those countries. Relevant topics include, but are not limited to:
