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

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2610.01076v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Structured electronic health records (EHRs) contain a patient's clinical trajectory as a sequence of clinical codes. Answering clinical questions from such records requires both the context of the whole trajectory and the specific events that support the answer. We introduce GLoC-EHR, a multimodal language model that reads a contextual encoding of the record through a fixed-size global memory of the trajectory and a local memory of selected events. The model learns to generate hospital-course summaries from the global memory and descriptions of masked concepts from the local memory, aligning both with clinical text. It is then trained to cite evidence before answering, through rationale fine-tuning followed by group relative policy optimizati
