Abstract

International Classification of Diseases (ICD) are the de facto codes used globally for clinical coding. These codes enable healthcare providers to claim reimbursement and facilitate efficient storage and retrieval of diagnostic information. The problem of automatically assigning ICD codes has been approached in literature as a multilabel classification, using neural models on unstructured data. Our proposed approach enhances the performance of neural models by effectively training word vectors using routine medical data as well as external knowledge from scientific articles. Furthermore, we exploit the geometric properties of the two sets of word vectors and combine them into a common dimensional space, using meta-embedding techniques. We demonstrate the efficacy of this approach for a multimodal setting, using unstructured and structured information. We empirically show that our approach improves the current state-of-the-art deep learning architectures and benefits ensemble models.
