Assigning diagnosis codes using medication history

作者:

Highlights:

• Utilizing medication history to assign multiple diagnosis codes is a promising technique.

• Its performance is comparable to text-based methods (F-1 score of 0.7 in a Top-10 setting).

• The technique is language agnostic and can work with different coding schemes.

• Using a hierarchically-aware loss function improves performance consistently.
