Automatic representation learning of key entities in electronic health record (EHR) data is a critical step for healthcare informatics that turns heterogeneous medical records into structured and actionable information. Here we propose…
Electronic health records (EHR) systematically represent patient data in digital form. However, text and visualization based EHR systems are poorly integrated in the hospital workflow due to their complex and rather non-intuitive access…
Clinical decision support tools built on electronic health records often experience performance drift due to temporal population shifts, particularly when changes in the clinical environment initially affect only a subset of patients,…
Transformer-based models have improved predictive modeling on longitudinal electronic health records through large-scale self-supervised pretraining. However, most EHR transformer architectures treat each clinical encounter as an unordered…
Electronic Health Records (EHR) can be represented as temporal sequences that record the events (medical visits) from patients. Neural temporal point process (NTPP) has achieved great success in modeling event sequences that occur in…
In this paper, we address the challenge of patient-note identification, which involves accurately matching an anonymized clinical note to its corresponding patient, represented by a set of related notes. This task has broad applications,…
