Abstract: Incident risk prediction from longitudinal electronic health records (EHRs) is challenging because relevant signals are multimodal, weak in isolation, and distributed across irregular patient histories. We propose structured evidence routing, a router-predictor-reviewer workflow that separates full-record access from disease-specific assessment. The router organizes the complete pre-index EHR into a compact summary and targeted evidence slices; the predictor uses this evidence to form an evidence-linked risk assessment, which the reviewer critiques. For comparison with supervised EHRSHOT baselines, we pair the routed evidence summaries with a supervised classifier readout. Across five 1-year incident diagnosis tasks, our method reaches the AUROC range of established supervised EHRSHOT baselines and remains competitive on AUPRC, while exposing a patient-specific evidence trail. Internal pre-readout ablations further suggest that routing, laboratory evidence, task guidance, and review each contribute to performance.
