Here’s a bit more about applying LLM to medicine (after GlacierMD a few weeks ago Generative Artificial Intelligence, Large Language Models, and Image Synthesis - #131 by eggspurt):
There’s a big jump forward from this to drive keyboard liberation for clinicians, which is just now beginning, using LLM training inputs from millions, or tens of millions, of medical records. In the months ahead we’ll see the beginning of generative AI to take on so many language-based tasks: synthetic office notes based on voice (with automated prescriptions, next appointments, billing codes, scheduling of labs and tests), pre-authorization from insurance companies, aggregating and summarizing a patient’s history from scouring their medical record(s), operation and procedure notes, discharge summaries, and more. Examples from Doximity (docsGPT) and Abridge are showing us the way. As opposed to the electronic health record disaster that has transformed clinicians to data clerks and led to profound disenchantment, over time LLMs may well be embraced as the antidote.
