ProtoEHR significantly enhances healthcare prediction by unifying code, visit, and patient-level information, achieving superior accuracy across diverse clinical tasks like mortality, readmission, and phenotype prediction. Its hierarchical approach captures complex dependencies crucial for robust outcomes.
The framework explicitly models EHR data's natural hierarchy, using specialized local encoders for medical codes, hospital visits, and patients. This multi-level representation captures both temporal and semantic dependencies, offering a comprehensive view of a patient’s clinical journey.
ProtoEHR incorporates novel prototype-based encoders at each hierarchical level to capture intrinsic similarities among entities (codes, visits, patients). These prototypes absorb shared information, improving generalization and providing interpretable insights into distinct patient cohorts.

Interpretable Healthcare Insights with ProtoEHR
ProtoEHR provides multi-level interpretability, revealing how different hierarchical levels (code, visit, patient) contribute to specific predictions. For instance, patient-level prototypes are found to be most crucial for mortality prediction, as it requires a holistic view of the patient's health status.
Conversely, phenotype prediction benefits significantly from visit-level prototypes, suggesting that the context of hospital visits (e.g., diagnoses within a visit) is more indicative for identifying specific health conditions. This granular insight helps clinicians understand the underlying reasons for model predictions.
