GLoC-EHR: Evidence-Cited Clinical Reasoning over Global Context and Local EHR Events

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

GLoC-EHR is a multimodal language model that processes electronic health records by combining a fixed-size global memory of the entire patient trajectory with a local memory of selected events. It generates hospital-course summaries and masked concept descriptions, then is fine‑tuned to cite evidence before answering clinical questions, using group relative policy optimization to reward correct, evidence‑supported responses. On MIMIC‑IV outcome tasks, GLoC‑EHR achieves the highest macro AUROC among compared models when answering directly, and maintains strong performance with evidence‑cited reasoning while adding distinct supported findings from the local memory.

Evaluating Retrieval-Augmented Generation vs. Long-Context Input for Clinical Reasoning over EHRs

arXiv:2508. 14817v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Objective: To evaluate whether retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) can serve as an efficient alternative to long-context prompting for clinical reasoning over electronic health records (EHRs).

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.
