The document discusses using deep learning models to analyze episodic healthcare data and make predictions. It proposes:
1) Viewing healthcare processes as executable computer programs with hidden "grammars" that can be learned from observational data.
2) Modeling health dynamics as a system of state transitions where treatments shift illness states, and historical events' importance is person-specific.
3) Training models by minimizing prediction loss to forecast outcomes like readmission, mortality, and disease progression based on patients' diseases, treatments, and visits over time.
