Automatically answering patient questions based on electronic health records (EHRs) requires systems that both identify relevant evidence and generate accurate, grounded responses. We present a three-part pipeline developed by WisPerMed for the ArchEHR-QA 2025 shared task. First, a fine-tuned BioClinicalBERT model classifies note sentences by their relevance using synonym-based and paraphrased data augmentation. Second, a constrained generation step uses DistilBART-MedSummary to produce faithful answers strictly limited to top-ranked evidence. Third, we align each answer sentence to its supporting evidence via BiomedBERT embeddings and ROUGE-based similarity scoring to ensure citation transparency. Our system achieved a 35.0% overall score on the hidden test set, outperforming the organizer’s baseline by 4.3 percentage points. Gains in BERTScore (+44%) and SARI (+119%) highlight substantial improvements in semantic accuracy and relevance. This modular approach demonstrates that enforcing evidence-awareness and citation grounding enhances both answer quality and trustworthiness in clinical QA systems.
