Case2Flow: Bridging Patient Cases and Guideline Flowcharts through Multimodal Retrieval
Medical guidelines encode rich, evidence-based decision logic, yet the specific decision artifact a clinician needs is hard to locate within a guideline, let alone across guidelines covering plausible diseases and treatments. While guideline passages have supported end-to-end question answering, flowcharts remain largely underused in decision support despite their ability to encode actionable clinical pathways. We therefore introduce Case2Flow, a task designed to retrieve the most relevant guideline flowchart for a given patient case from a collection of guideline documents. To support it, we construct FlowAtlas, a curated corpus of 202 flowcharts extracted from 2,080 medical guidelines, ...
