Effective representation learning of electronic health records is a challenging task and is becoming more important as the availability of such data is becoming pervasive. The data contained in these records are irregular and contain…
This is the preprint version of our paper on JOMS. In this paper, two mHealth applications are introduced, which can be employed as the terminals of bigdata based health service to collect information for electronic medical records (EMRs).…
Longitudinal electronic health record (EHR) data offer opportunities to study biomarker trajectories; however, association estimates-the primary inferential target-from standard models designed for regular observation times may be biased by…
With the rapid advancement of Large Language Models (LLMs) and their outstanding performance in semantic and contextual comprehension, the potential of LLMs in specialized domains warrants exploration. This paper introduces the NoteAid EHR…
Predicting patient mortality is an important and challenging problem in the healthcare domain, especially for intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Electronic health notes serve as a rich source for learning patient representations, that can…
Clinical language models are important for many applications in healthcare, but their development depends on access to extensive clinical text for pretraining. However, obtaining clinical notes from electronic health records (EHRs) at scale…
Electronic Health Records (EHRs) provide rich longitudinal clinical evidence that is central to medical decision-making, motivating the use of retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) to ground large language model (LLM) predictions. However,…
Efficient communication between patients and clinicians plays an important role in shared decision-making. However, clinical reports are often lengthy and filled with clinical jargon, making it difficult for domain experts to identify…
Manual chart review remains an extremely time-consuming and resource-intensive component of clinical research, requiring experts to extract often complex information from unstructured electronic health record (EHR) narratives. We present a…
Electronic health records (EHRs) are long, noisy, and often redundant, posing a major challenge for the clinicians who must navigate them. Large language models (LLMs) offer a promising solution for extracting and reasoning over this…
Hospital discharge documentation is among the most essential, yet time-consuming documents written by medical practitioners. The objective of this study was to automatically generate hospital discharge summaries using neural network…
Large language models (LLMs), including zero-shot and few-shot paradigms, have shown promising capabilities in clinical text generation. However, real-world applications face two key challenges: (1) patient data is highly unstructured,…
Patient similarity assessment, which identifies patients similar to a given patient, can help improve medical care. The assessment can be performed using Electronic Medical Records (EMRs). Patient similarity measurement requires converting…
Synthetic Electronic Health Records (EHRs) offer a valuable opportunity to create privacy preserving and harmonized structured data, supporting numerous applications in healthcare. Key benefits of synthetic data include precise control over…
Electronic Health Records (EHRs) often lack explicit links between medications and diagnoses, making clinical decision-making and research more difficult. Even when links exist, diagnosis lists may be incomplete, especially during early…
