S2E2 - 🎙️ Safeguarding Patient Care with LLMs


Listen Later

In our latest episode, we delve into the fascinating world of large language models and their promising role in healthcare. As these technologies advance, ensuring their clinical safety becomes paramount. We explore a groundbreaking framework that assesses the hallucination and omission rates of LLMs in medical text summarisation, which could significantly impact patient safety and care efficiency.

Join us as we discuss the implications of this study for healthcare professionals, technology developers, and patients alike. We'll cover:

  • The proposed error taxonomy for LLM outputs
  • Experimental findings on hallucination and omission rates
  • Strategies for refining LLM workflows
  • The importance of clinical safety in automated documentation
