contents We present a novel data augmentation method to address the challenge of data scarcity in modeling longitudinal patterns in Electronic Health Records (EHR) of patients using natural language processing (NLP) algorithms. The proposed method generates augmented data by rearranging the orders of medical records within a visit where the order of elements are not obvious, if any. Applying the proposed method to the clopidogrel treatment failure detection task enabled up to 5.3% absolute improvement in terms of ROC-AUC (from 0.908 without augmentation to 0.961 with augmentation) when it was used during the pre-training procedure. It was also shown that the augmentation helped to improve performance during fine-tuning procedures, especially when the amount of labeled training data is limited.
