In medExtractR: Extraction of Medication Information from Clinical Text

medExtractR 0.4

• Allow generic dictionaries for tapering functions
• Extra string matching functions to reduce drug list; see "Customizing drug_list" vignette

medExtractR 0.2

• Change how "dose" (i.e., dose given intake) is extracted in some cases. Previously, expressions like "lamotrigine 300-200" which indicate 300mg taken in the morning and 200mg taken in the evening would be extracted separately as 300 and 200. Now, these are extracted as the full expression 300-200 to preserve contextual information and allow for easier dose calculation when processing raw output.
• Add package="medExtractR" to data calls within functions
• Update some data files to allow for more flexibility in phrases (e.g., optional spaces in frequency expressions like qday)
• Minor bug fixes
