Abstract: This paper presents architecture for extracting context features from electronic health records (EHR) to design a clinical support system using transfer learning for natural language processing (NLP). The system is trained to provide a supporting summary to the medical practioners on the basis of the ICD 9 codes and respective symptoms of the patient. The BioALBERT model has been trained over biomedical corpora and the proposed model uses improvised parameter sharing techniques and requires less physical memory. The theoretical analysis of the proposed system is supported by the experimental analysis. MIMIC-III database has been used to fine train the proposed models and to assess the efficiency and efficacy of the proposed work. This study introduced a context-aware approach for extracting useful context from EHR, which can be used to acquire a basic understanding of the treatment path.
