Objective: To determine whether graph neural network based models of electronic health records can predict specialty consultation care needs for endocrinology and hematology more accurately than the standard of care checklists and other conventional medical recommendation algorithms in the literature. Methods: Demand for medical expertise far outstrips supply, with tens of millions in the US alone with deficient access to specialty care. Rather than potentially months long delays to initiate diagnostic workup and medical treatment with a specialist, referring primary care supported by an automated recommender algorithm could anticipate and directly initiate patient evaluation that would otherwise be needed at subsequent a specialist appointment. We propose a novel graph representation learning approach with a heterogeneous graph neural network to model structured electronic health records and formulate recommendation/prediction of subsequent specialist orders as a link prediction problem. Results: Models are trained and assessed in two specialty care sites: endocrinology and hematology. Our experimental results show that our model achieves an 8% improvement in ROC-AUC for endocrinology (ROC-AUC = 0.88) and 5% improvement for hematology (ROC-AUC = 0.84) personalized procedure recommen-dations over prior medical recommender systems. These recommender algorithm approaches provide medical procedure recommendations for endocrinology referrals more effectively than manual clinical checklists (recommender: precision = 0.60, recall = 0.27, F1-score = 0.37) vs. (checklist: precision = 0.16, recall = 0.28, F1-score = 0.20), and similarly for hematology referrals (recommender: precision = 0.44, recall = 0.38, F1-score = 0.41) vs. (checklist: precision = 0.27, recall = 0.71, F1-score = 0.39). Conclusion: Embedding graph neural network models into clinical care can improve digital specialty consul-tation systems and expand the access to medical experience of prior similar cases.
