  - What happened: We maintain a canonical key inventory through iterative key mining, normalization, clustering, and lightweight human verification, and introduce key coverage as a metric.
  - Why it matters: Using a 0.2B BERT-based model, experiments on real-world reports from more than 20 hospitals show performance improves monotonically with key coverage.

  - Deep:
    - Context: We formulate this problem as canonical key-conditioned extractive question answering over OCR-derived clinical reports.
    - What's new: Although our annotated corpus is Chinese, the method relies on the language-agnostic key-value organization of semi-structured clinical reports and can be adapted to other settings given an appropriate canonical key inventory and alias mapping.
