In Action: Text-Prompted Patient Cohort Retrieval

Leveraging Generative Healthcare Models for Precision Population Health Management

For population health managers and care management teams, segmenting high-risk patients into cohorts based on their clinical characteristics and history is desirable.

This segmentation not only allows for a better understanding of risk patterns within an individual patient, it also contextualizes these patterns across the broader patient population. Insights from the segmentation could pave the way for crafting intervention strategies tailored to address the nuances of the population.

Using John Snow Lab’s Generative Healthcare models, the ClosedLoop platform enables users to retrieve cohorts using free-text prompts. Examples include:

?

Which patients are in the top 5% of risk for an unplanned admission and have chronic kidney disease of stage 3 or higher?

?

Which patients are in the top 5% risk for an admission, older than 72, and have not undergone an annual wellness checkup?

How it Works: Patient-Level Reasoning

This is then used to either provide a user-friendly interface – such as a chatbot, search, or visual query builder – to ask questions like:

What’s his current cancer staging?

This cannot be achieved via an LLM, RAG, NLP, or Knowledge Graph solution alone – it requires combining all of them into one end-to-end solution:

Information Extraction
Patient Level Reasoning
Data Fusion
Natural Language Question Answering

Why a Healthcare-Specific LLM: Understanding Patient Notes & Stories at the Veteran’s Administration

This case study describes benchmarks and lessons learned from building such a pilot system on data from the US Department of Veterans Affairs, a health system which serves over 9 million veterans and their families.

This collaboration with VA National Artificial Intelligence Institute (NAII), VA Innovations Unit (VAIU) and Office of Information Technology (OI&T) show that while out-of-the-box accuracy of current LLM’s on clinical notes is unacceptable, it can be significantly improved with pre-processing, for example by using John Snow Labs’ clinical text summarization models prior to feeding that as content to the LLM generative AI output.

We will also review responsible and trustworthy AI practices that are critical to delivering these technology in a safe and secure manner.

Peer-Reviewed, State-of-the-art Accuracy

Efficient schema-less text-to-SQL conversion using large language models
Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Health, April 2024

“Our model achieves logical form accuracy (LFA) of 0.85 on the MIMICSQL dataset, significantly outperforming current state-of-the-art models such as Defog-SQL-Coder, GPT-3.5-Turbo, LLaMA-2-7B and GPT-4.

This approach reduces the model size, lessening the amount of data and infrastructure cost required for training and serving, and improves the performance to enable the generation of much complex SQL queries.”
