Anchoring Clinical Events in Time: UID-Preserving Multimodal Reconstruction and Source-Grounded Adjudication

Hospital discharge summaries often blur when things happened. This framework tags every event in the note with an ID and ties it back to timestamped rows in the patient's records. On 40 critical-care summaries, it recovered 43% more events and came close to clinician annotations. The team also built GAVEL, a model that judges competing timelines, and human reviewers upheld most of its calls. Authors: Sayantan Kumar, Nicolas Grimaldi, Jack Cummins, Jeremy C.
