This study develops and validates the confidence-linked and uncertainty-based staged (CLUES) framework by integrating large language models (LLMs) with uncertainty quantification to assist manual chart review while ensuring reliability through a selective human review.

To evaluate an automated reporting checklist generation tool using large language models and retrieval augmentation generation technology, called RAPID.

This study aims to enhance the diagnostic process for rare diseases using case-based reasoning (CBR). CBR compares new cases with historical data, utilizing both structured and unstructured clinical data.

In 2023, AMIA's Inclusive Language and Context Style Guidelines (the "Guidelines") were approved by the Board of Directors and made a publicly available resource. This work began in 2021 through AMIA's DEI Task Force and subsequent DEI Committee; many members provided input, feedback, and time to create the Guidelines. In this paper, the authors provide a transparent account of the origin, development, contents, and dissemination of the Guidelines and share [...]

Fairness concerns stemming from known and unknown biases in healthcare practices have raised questions about the trustworthiness of Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS). Studies have shown unforeseen performance disparities in subpopulations when applied to clinical settings different from training. Existing unfairness mitigation strategies often struggle with scalability and accessibility, while their pursuit of group-level prediction performance parity does not effectively translate into fairness at the point of [...]

This study aims to tackle the critical challenge of adapting deep learning (DL) models for deployment in real-world healthcare settings, specifically focusing on catastrophic forgetting due to distribution shifts between hospital and non-hospital environments. Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is susceptible to misdiagnosis by DL models due to distribution shifts. This work demonstrates the potential of continual learning (CL) to enhance model performance in MetS identification across diverse settings.

Extracting social determinants of health (SDoHs) from medical notes depends heavily on labor-intensive annotations, which are typically task-specific, hampering reusability and limiting sharing. Here, we introduce SDoH-GPT, a novel framework leveraging few-shot learning large language models (LLMs) to automate the extraction of SDoH from unstructured text, aiming to improve both efficiency and generalizability.

The digitalization of health records stands to improve decision-making at clinical, administrative, and policy level. Efforts follow various paths and are closely intertwined with health system and organizational configurations. Problems persist in both uptake and use. This study explores the digitalization trajectories of academic health centers (AHCs) to understand tensions between organizational and government strategies and their impact on digital development.
