AI Models Beat Medical Experts at Summarizing Patient Records
- Study shows AI models adapted for clinical summarization can outperform medical experts in summarizing patient health records.
- Models scored higher than human experts in quantitative metrics and assessments of conciseness, correctness, and completeness.
- Prompt engineering to provide models clear summarization instructions boosted performance, especially conciseness.
- Summaries of radiology reports were one area where model conciseness lagged behind human experts.
- Researchers conclude adapted AI models can efficiently and accurately summarize clinical data to help clinicians.
