‘Retrieving Evidence From EHRs With LLMs: Possibilities and Challenges’

“Unstructured Electronic Health Record (EHR) data often contains critical information complementary to imaging data that would inform radiologists’ diagnoses. However, time constraints and the large volume of notes frequently associated with individual patients renders manual perusal of such data to identify relevant evidence infeasible in practice. Modern Large Language Models (LLMs) provide a flexible means of interacting with unstructured EHR data, and may provide a mechanism to efficiently retrieve and summarize unstructured evidence relevant to a given query. In this work, we propose and evaluate an LLM (Flan-T5 XXL) for this purpose.”
