Outline

This paper presents MediGen, a large-scale language model (LLM) that automatically generates medical reports based on medical conversations to alleviate the excessive administrative burden on physicians. Developed by fine-tuning LLaMA3-8B, MediGen achieves high accuracy (ROUGE score: 58%, BERTScore-F1: 72%) in transcribing and summarizing medical conversations, demonstrating its potential to reduce physicians' administrative workload and improve healthcare efficiency and physician well-being.

Takeaways, Limitations

Takeaways:
Suggesting the possibility of alleviating the excessive administrative burden on doctors.
Expected to increase medical efficiency through automation of medical report writing
May contribute to improving doctors' job satisfaction and well-being.
Limitations:
The current model's accuracy (ROUGE 58%, BERTScore-F1 72%) is not perfect and requires further improvement.
Further validation of applicability and safety in actual clinical settings is needed.
Consideration Needed for LLM Bias and Ethical Issues
Research is needed to investigate the model's scalability and applicability to various medical environments.
