Dynamic few-shot prompting for clinical note section classification using lightweight, open-source large language models.
July 1, 2025
Unlocking clinical information embedded in clinical notes has been hindered to a significant degree by domain-specific and context-sensitive language. Identification of note sections and structural document elements has been shown to improve information extraction and dependent downstream clinical natural language processing (NLP) tasks and applications. This study investigates the viability […]
A comparative analysis of privacy-preserving large language models for automated echocardiography report analysis.
July 1, 2025
Automated data extraction from echocardiography reports could facilitate large-scale registry creation and clinical surveillance of valvular heart diseases (VHD). We evaluated the performance of open-source large language models (LLMs) guided by prompt instructions and chain of thought (CoT) for this task.
Challenges using electronic health records to support unhealthy alcohol use screening and intervention in primary care practices in the Pacific Northwest.
July 1, 2025
Screening Brief Intervention and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) can reduce the health and social costs associated with unhealthy alcohol use (UAU). Electronic health records (EHRs) can support evidence-based screening practices for UAU and provide performance data needed for quality improvement. The objective of this study was to describe barriers faced […]
CDEMapper: enhancing National Institutes of Health common data element use with large language models.
July 1, 2025
Common Data Elements (CDEs) standardize data collection and sharing across studies, enhancing data interoperability and improving research reproducibility. However, implementing CDEs presents challenges due to the broad range and variety of data elements. This study aims to develop a CDE mapping tool to bridge the gap between local data elements […]
