Abstract Objectives Large Language Models (LLMs) have been proposed as a solution to address high volumes of Patient Medical Advice Requests (PMARs). This study addresses whether LLMs can generate quality draft responses PMARs that satisfies both patients and clinicians with prompt engineering. Materials Methods We designed novel human-involved iterative processes train validate prompts LLM in creating appropriate PMARs. GPT-4 was used response the messages. updated prompts, evaluated...
ONCOCIN is a medical expert system that extends the skeletal-planning technique to an applciation area where history of past events and duration actions are important. The system's knowledge base designed reflect hierarchical model domain, its control inference mechanisms encourage mixed-initiative style interaction between computer user.
Physicians faced with diagnostic and therapeutic decisions must reason about clinical features that change over time. Database-management systems (DBMS) can increase access to patient data, but most are limited in their ability store retrieve complex temporal information. The Time-Oriented Databank (TOD) model, the widely used data model for medical database systems, associates a single time stamp each observation. proper analysis of requires accounting multiple concurrent events may alter...
Objective: The authors' goal was to determine whether dynamic categorization, a new technique for organizing search results, is more useful than the two existing organizational techniques: relevance ranking and clustering. They define tool as one that helps users learn about kinds of information pertain their query, find answers questions efficiently easily, feel satisfied with experience. Design: Fifteen patients breast cancer family members completed query-related tasks using all three...
Mycin, a computer-based consultation system which provides to physicians antimicrobial therapy recommendations for patients with bacterial infections, is described. The program arrives at therapeutic decisions using built-in knowledge base as well patient data entered by the physician. capable of explaining its and answering questions about reasoning process. system's can be updated corrected easily infectious disease experts. At present operational within research setting; routine use in...
Decision analysis is an appealing methodology with which to provide decision support the practicing physician. However, its use in clinical setting impeded because computer- based explanations of decision-theoretic advice are difficult generate without resorting mathematical arguments. Nevertheless, human analysts useful and tuitive on trees. To facilitate theory a computer-based system, authors developed computer program that uses symbolic reasoning techniques nonquantitative results...
<h3>Objective</h3> To investigate the impact of a computer-based documentation (CBD) tool on parent and physician satisfaction with pediatric health maintenance encounter. <h3>Design</h3> The project used preintervention postintervention design. group visits paper-based forms for data entry, whereas CBD. At conclusion each encounter, both completed survey that assessed their perceptions encounter’s quality. <h3>Setting</h3> Urban hospital-based teaching clinic. <h3>Participants</h3> Parents...
