Overview

Electronic Health Record and claims contain sequences of care: every contact between a patient and a healthcare system (either hospital, either insurance) is recorded in a central database. Medical terminologies are often used to encode the type of care : diagnoses, acts, drugs, laboratory, ...

Such healthcare trajectories can be viewed as sequence of tokens, similarly to sequences of words.

This package propose to use matrix factorization as a simple and efficient way to build event embedding from a medical observational database.
