arXiv:2608. 16273v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Foresight-England (Foresight-E) is the first national-scale generative foundation model of electronic health records (EHRs), developed as a research pilot strictly for COVID-19 research.
arXiv:2602. 00541v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Clinical events captured in Electronic Health Records (EHR) are irregularly sampled and may consist of a mixture of discrete events and numerical measurements, such as laboratory values or treatment dosages.
The paper introduces Scaling Electronic Health Record Foundation Models for Population Health Management, a large‑scale model trained on billions of medical events from over 5 million patients in Taiwan and the United States. By aligning ICD codes across different health systems, the model achieves strong scaling and generalization across 11 chronic disease prediction tasks, outperforming tree‑based, general, and biomedical language models with high sensitivity at 99% specificity. It also demonstrates superior few‑shot performance on the EHRShot benchmark and shows that cross‑system alignment provides a stronger pretraining signal than single‑site duplication in data‑limited scenarios.
arXiv:2608. 20315v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Predictive models over structured electronic health records (EHRs) remain central to machine learning for healthcare, but few have jointly emphasized quantitative laboratory information and interpretability with respect to input medical events.
The paper introduces ICD-Deepresearch, a workflow that combines foundation models for electronic health records (EHR) and language models with medical search and ICD dictionaries to forecast future ICD codes for upcoming clinical encounters. It evaluates candidate code transitions by linking patient evidence, external clinical relations, and exact code semantics within a fixed top‑K budget, using SparseEHR for initial priors, GPT‑5 for complementary forecasts, and a final selection step that validates, deduplicates, and ranks candidates. The method achieves patient‑averaged precision/recall of 24.60/35.09% on MIMIC‑III and 25.14/48.32% on MIMIC‑IV, with physicians rating 51–68% of its retrieved documents as useful, outperforming standalone GPT‑5 web search and Medical Deep Research.
arXiv:2606. 24102v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Most electronic health record (EHR) foundation models encode clinical events as discrete event tokens from a fixed vocabulary and therefore cannot directly represent events containing unseen concepts or new combinations of concepts and attributes such as numeric values.
arXiv:2607. 15447v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent research in clinical machine learning, focusing on outcome predictions in intensive care unit (ICU), has shifted from bespoke supervised models to foundation models, utilising modern representation learning methods.
arXiv:2606. 06990v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The generation of high-fidelity synthetic Electronic Health Records (EHR) is crucial for advancing medical research while preserving patient privacy.
The study benchmarks tokenization choices for generative medical event models, evaluating quantization granularity, reference-range anchoring, code–value fusion, numeric and temporal encodings, and native versus harmonized event representations. Using Llama and Qwen architectures, 156 models were trained and assessed on early hospitalization data, showing that fusing codes with value deciles and using event-order or admission-relative RoPE embeddings improved predictive performance. The Common Longitudinal Intensive Care Unit Data Format (CLIF) reduced token count by 30.8% while enhancing outcomes in most families.
arXiv:2606. 28798v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Objective: ICD codes are central to reimbursement, research, and population health surveillance, yet automated coding systems often struggle to integrate diagnostic signals from both clinical narratives and structured electronic health record (EHR) variables.
arXiv:2506. 04831v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Forecasting how a patient's condition is likely to evolve, including possible deterioration, recovery, treatment needs, and care transitions, could support more proactive and personalized care, but requires modeling heterogeneous and longitudinal electronic health record (EHR) data.
arXiv:2511. 16839v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Purpose: Heart failure (HF) discharge planning depends on identifying patients at risk of deterioration or death, yet accurate prediction from routinely collected electronic health records (EHRs) remains challenging.
INTERVenE introduces Transformer models that use a knowledge‑based temporal abstraction (KBTA) token stream of named clinical concepts instead of raw measurements, enabling per‑token attributions to resolve directly to clinical concepts. Two variants are offered: an auto‑regressive decoder that generates future abstraction trajectories with step‑wise risk readouts, and a bidirectional encoder that jointly predicts risk and time‑to‑event in a single pass. On 57,078 MIMIC‑IV admissions, the encoder variant outperforms neural baselines with a support‑weighted AUPRC of 0.672 and AUROC of 0.901, while the decoder provides complementary token‑level risk trajectories.
