By structured fields I mean non-note sources. Notes might be stored in a database and other columns/tables in that database will contain patient metadata, such as sex, birthdate, insurance status, etc. Extracting this information is probably institution-specific. If you don't have access to this kind of database and want to get it from notes you will need to write your own uima annotator. There are examples of how to do this in the ctakes-examples module. Tim
