The paper introduces a retrieval-augmented multimodal alignment framework to improve the temporal precision of absolute clinical timelines extracted from text.

It formulates timeline reconstruction as a graph-based multistep process, using both unstructured narratives and structured electronic health record (EHR) data. The approach is evaluated on the i2m4 benchmark, showing improved accuracy and concordance compared to unimodal text-only reconstruction.
