Explainable Transformer Models for Clinical Prediction Tasks on Structured Electronic Health Records

Predictive models over structured electronic health records (EHRs) remain central to machine learning for healthcare, but few have jointly emphasized quantitative laboratory information and interpretability with respect to input medical events. We present BERT-LER, a BERT-style model for coded EHR timelines pretrained and fine-tuned from a de-identified EHR dataset of 75 million patients, that encodes laboratory test results as discrete tokens while retaining graded information through percentile-based binning, paired with Integrated Gradients for token-level attributions grounded in the input
