New framework improves oncology record retrieval by allocating evidence over time

Researchers have developed a new framework called OncoCONSTRUE to improve the retrieval of information from electronic health records in oncology. The system addresses the issue of temporal redundancy, where repeated information overshadows crucial patient milestones like recurrence or therapy changes. The proposed method treats longitudinal clinical retrieval as an evidence allocation problem across time, rather than simple relevance ranking. Initial studies show promising results, with a configuration named Temporal-15 achieving a milestone slot recall of 0.538, significantly outperforming a baseline of 0.388, though it also retrieved more evidence.

    Temporal Evidence Allocation For Longitudinal Clinical Retrieval: A Position And Technical Report

    arXiv:2610.27682v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Electronic health records are written to support care, not retrieval. Across years of oncology notes, the primary diagnosis is restated in report after report, while the events that shape a patient's course, such as a recurrence or …
