To determine if ChatGPT can generate useful suggestions for improving clinical decision support (CDS) logic and to assess noninferiority compared human-generated suggestions. We supplied summaries of CDS ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence (AI) tool question answering that uses a large language model, asked it human clinician reviewers review the AI-generated as well same alerts, rate their usefulness, acceptance, relevance, understanding, workflow, bias, inversion, redundancy. Five...

Abstract Objective This study aimed to develop and assess the performance of fine-tuned large language models for generating responses patient messages sent via an electronic health record portal. Materials Methods Utilizing a dataset extracted from portal at academic medical center, we developed model (CLAIR-Short) based on pre-trained (LLaMA-65B). In addition, used OpenAI API update physician open-source into format with informative paragraphs that offered education while emphasizing...

Alerting systems, a type of clinical decision support, are increasingly prevalent in healthcare, yet few studies have concurrently measured the appropriateness alerts with provider responses to alerts. Recent reports suboptimal alert system design and implementation highlight need for better evaluation inform future designs. The authors present comprehensive framework evaluating synchronous, interruptive medication safety alerts.Through literature review iterative testing, metrics were...

Abstract Objective To develop and evaluate a data-driven process to generate suggestions for improving alert criteria using explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) approaches. Methods We extracted data on alerts generated from January 1, 2019 December 31, 2020, at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. developed machine learning models predict user responses alerts. applied XAI techniques global explanations local explanations. evaluated the by comparing with alert’s historical change logs...

Abstract Objectives To evaluate the capability of using generative artificial intelligence (AI) in summarizing alert comments and to determine if AI-generated summary could be used improve clinical decision support (CDS) alerts. Materials Methods We extracted user alerts generated from September 1, 2022 2023 at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. For a subset 8 alerts, comment summaries were independently by 2 physicians then separately GPT-4. surveyed 5 CDS experts rate human-generated on...

This study aims to develop and evaluate an approach using large language models (LLMs) a knowledge graph triage patient messages that need emergency care. The goal is notify patients when their indicate emergency, guiding them seek immediate help rather than the portal, improve safety. We selected 1020 sent Vanderbilt University Medical Center providers between January 1, 2022 March 7, 2023. developed four these for emergencies: (1) Prompt-Only: message was input with prompt directly into...

The impact of AKI on adverse drug events and therapeutic failures the medication errors leading to these have not been well described.A single-center observational study 396 hospitalized patients with a minimum 0.5 mg/dl change in serum creatinine who were prescribed nephrotoxic or renally eliminated was conducted. population stratified into two groups by direction their initial change: recovery. Adverse events, potential failures, for 148 drugs 46 outcomes retrospectively measured. Events...
