CliniCIRCA: A Modular LLM Framework for Constructing Longitudinal Mental Health Patient Journeys from Raw EHR Narratives

CliniCIRCA is a modular large‑language‑model framework that reconstructs longitudinal mental‑health patient journeys from raw electronic health record narratives. It temporally classifies clinical events in unstructured discharge summaries without explicit timestamps, producing 15,891 tagged events from 52 summaries and correcting 629 errors to create verified gold‑standard timelines. The framework then generates temporally grounded summaries, compressing each source by 1.52×, and scales to produce 1,000 silver‑standard timelines for training, showing that instruction tuning improves event extraction, temporal tagging, and summarization across models.

EHR2Path: Comprehensive Pathway-Level Modeling of Longitudinal Patient Trajectories from Multimodal Electronic Health Records

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.

PORTER: Language-Grounded Event Representations for Portable Structured EHR Foundation Models

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.

One Loss to Rule Them All: Marked Time-to-Event for Structured EHR Foundation Models

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.

Structured Evidence Routing for Incident Risk Prediction from Multimodal Longitudinal EHRs

The paper introduces structured evidence routing for incident risk prediction using multimodal longitudinal electronic health records (EHRs). It proposes a router‑predictor‑reviewer workflow that condenses full patient records into compact summaries and targeted evidence slices, enabling a predictor to generate evidence‑linked risk assessments that a reviewer can critique. Experiments on five one‑year incident diagnosis tasks show that the method matches the AUROC of established supervised EHRSHOT baselines and remains competitive on AUPRC, while providing a patient‑specific evidence trail.

HERMES: Contrast-Aware Knowledge Graph Reasoning from Clinical Notes for Patient Outcome Prediction

HERMES is a graph-based framework that uses only clinical text to predict patient outcomes. It builds personalized Knowledge Graphs from clinical notes via Large‑Language‑Model‑guided extraction and Contrastive Logic Modeling, capturing temporal dynamics and treatment changes. A Graph Attention Network then synthesizes patient representations, and experiments on MIMIC‑III and MIMIC‑IV show HERMES outperforms text‑only baselines for in‑hospital mortality and 30‑day readmission prediction.
