Electronic Health Records (EHR) store tabular data that is rich in information and play a critical role in supporting decision-making within the healthcare field, particularly for patient care classification. This study evaluates the performance of two artificial intelligence models, Fully Connected Neural Networks (FCNN) and TabNet, in processing tabular data for patient care classification tasks. The findings reveal that both models demonstrate strong performance, with TabNet showing a slight advantage. TabNet achieves an accuracy of 0.74, marginally surpassing FCNN's 0.73. Furthermore, TabNet excels in precision (0.74 vs. 0.72), recall (0.72 vs. 0.71), and F1-Score (0.73 vs. 0.71), highlighting its greater reliability in minimizing false positives and accurately detecting positive cases with a better balance between precision and recall. With its architecture specifically tailored for tabular data and its capacity for direct interpretability, TabNet offers enhanced efficiency and ease of implementation compared to FCNN, which demands more complex data preprocessing. For future research, it is suggested to employ larger and more diverse datasets, explore data with higher feature complexity, and conduct comprehensive hyperparameter tuning to further improve the performance of both models.
