Learning to Write Notes in Electronic Health Records
Clinicians spend a significant amount of time inputting free-form textual notes into Electronic Health Records (EHR) systems. Much of this documentation work is seen as a burden, reducing time spent with patients and contributing to clinician burnout. With the aspiration of AI-assisted note-writing, we propose a new language modeling task predicting the content of notes conditioned on past data from a patient's medical record, including patient demographics, labs, medications, and past notes. We train generative models using the public, de-identified MIMIC-III dataset and compare generated notes with those in the dataset on multiple measures. We find that much of the content can be predicted, and that many common templates found in notes can be learned. We discuss how such models can be useful in supporting assistive note-writing features such as error-detection and auto-complete.

EHRCon: Dataset for Checking Consistency between Unstructured Notes and Structured Tables in Electronic Health Records
Electronic Health Records (EHRs) are integral for storing comprehensive patient medical records, combining structured data (e.g., medications) with detailed clinical notes (e.g., physician notes). These elements are esse…
Natural Language Processing to Detect Cognitive Concerns in Electronic Health Records Using Deep Learning
Dementia is under-recognized in the community, under-diagnosed by healthcare professionals, and under-coded in claims data. Information on cognitive dysfunction, however, is often found in unstructured clinician notes wi…
Ontology-driven weak supervision for clinical entity classification in electronic health records
In the electronic health record, using clinical notes to identify entities such as disorders and their temporality (e.g. the order of an event relative to a time index) can inform many important analyses. However, creati…
