Abstract: Clinical records contain patient information such as laboratory values, doctor notes, or medications. However, clinical notes are underutilized because notes are complex, high-dimensional, and sparse. However, these clinical records may play an essential role in modeling clinical decision support systems. The study aimed to develop an effective predictive learning model that can process these sparse data and extract useful information to benefit the clinical decision support system for the effective diagnosis. The proposed system conducts phase-wise data modeling, and suitable text data treatment is carried out for data preparation. The study further utilized the Natutal Language Processing (NLP) mechanism where word2vec with Autoencoder is used as a clustering scheme for the topic modeling. Another significant contribution of the proposed work is that a novel approach of learning mechanism is devised by integrating Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) and Convolution Neural Network (CNN) to learn the inter-dependencies of the data sequences to predict diagnosis and patient testimony as output for the clinical decision. The development of the proposed system is carried out using the Python programming language. The study outcome based on the comparative analysis exhibits the effectiveness of the proposed method.
