The Forecast Had to Cite Evidence for a Future Code
A bounded research workflow combined an EHR prior, medical search and code dictionaries before ranking next-encounter diagnoses.
Summary
A bounded research workflow combined an EHR prior, medical search and code dictionaries before ranking next-encounter diagnoses.
ICD-Deepresearch predicts diagnosis codes that may appear at a future visit, where no source can reveal the answer in advance. It expands candidates from an EHR foundation model, adds a separate direct forecast, validates exact code semantics and writes rationales only after selection. Patient-averaged precision remained about 25 percent, while recall reached 35.09 percent on MIMIC-III and 48.32 percent on MIMIC-IV; physicians nevertheless rated its retrieved documents more useful than the standalone research comparisons.
Why it matters
A bounded research workflow combined an EHR prior, medical search and code dictionaries before ranking next-encounter diagnoses.
Limits and context
