If you end up integrating LLMs in a way where it could impact patient care that’s actually pretty dangerous considering their training data includes plenty of fictional and pseudo scientific sources. That said it might be okay for medical research applications where accuracy isn’t as critical.
For what it’s worth, I don’t mean to say that this is something that hospitals and health networks should be doing per se, but that they are doing right now. I’m sure it has benefits for them, as another user somewhere further in this post described, otherwise I don’t think all these doctors would be so eager to use it.
I work for a non-profit which connects immigrants and refugees to various services, among them being healthcare. I don’t know all of the processes they use when it comes to LLM-assisted documentation, but I’d like to think they have some protocols in place to help preserve accuracy. If they don’t, that’s why this is on our radar, but so is malpractice in general (which is thankfully rare here, but it does happen).
