| Challenge: | Medical claim coding is the process of transforming medical records into structured codes in a classification system such as ICD-10 (International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision) or DRG (Diagnosis-Related Group) codes. |
| Approach: | They propose an explainability-enhanced clinical claim coding system for the early prediction of medical severity DRGs (MS-DRGs) a novel multi-task Transformer model allows users to inspect DRGCoder’s reasoning by visualizing the weights for each word of the input. |
| Outcome: | The proposed system allows users to analyze the weights of the input and compare across multiple discharge summaries. |
