Our aim is to extract clinically-meaningful phenotypes from longitudinal electronic health records (EHRs) of medically-complex children. This is a fragile set of patients consuming a disproportionate amount of pediatric care resources but who often end up with sub-optimal clinical outcome. The rise in available electronic health records (EHRs) provide a rich data source that can be used to disentangle their complex clinical conditions into concise, clinically-meaningful groups of characteristics. We aim at identifying those phenotypes and their temporal evolution in a scalable, computational manner, which avoids the time-consuming manual chart review.
