摘要

The use of electronic health records (EHRs) involves considerable amounts of unstructured free text containing vital information related to clinical healthcare. However, these unstructured texts have proven to be hindrances in the process of automating healthcare systems because of the linguistic variability and lack of correspondence to standardized ICD-10 codes. To bridge this gap, a cost-effective and modular clinical pipeline has been proposed in this paper. The focus of this pipeline is to provide diagnosis and generate relevant ICD-10 codes. The clinical pipeline utilizes medical concept normalization of clinical healthcare terms based on medical knowledge and ICD-10 codes. Moreover, it involves a clinical reasoning process based on large language models and a knowledge graph driven search of clinical ICD-10 codes. The working of the pipeline involves normalizing clinical terms related to healthcare and transforms them into a structured format based on clinical knowledge. The clinical terms are transformed into a knowledge-driven narrative format based on reasoning and ICD-10 codes. The pipeline aims to provide vital clinical interpretation along with the generation of ICD-10 codes.
