Question

A hospital is building a solution to process clinical notes written by physicians. The team must extract medical conditions, medications, and dosages, and link each extracted term to standardized medical ontology codes (such as UMLS) so downstream analytics systems can normalize terminology across documents. Which Azure AI Language capability should the team use?
