Outline

MedGellan is a lightweight, annotation-free framework for generating clinical guidelines from medical records. It uses large-scale language models (LLMs) to generate clinical guidelines used for diagnosis prediction from medical records, assisting physicians in making diagnosis predictions. It takes into account the temporal order of clinical data using a Bayesian-inspired prompting strategy. Initial experimental results show that LLM-generated guidelines using MedGellan improve diagnostic performance, especially in terms of recall and F1 score. Considering the challenges of fully automated systems, we present a hybrid framework that combines human supervision and machine intelligence.

Takeaways, Limitations

Takeaways:
Demonstrating the utility of a hybrid medical decision support system leveraging LLM.
Increased practicality due to lightweight and no need for annotations.
Generating improved clinical guidelines that take temporal order into account using a Bayesian prompting strategy.
Improved diagnostic performance through improved recall and F1 score.
Limitations:
Only initial experimental results are presented and further validation is needed.
Further studies are needed to determine applicability and safety in real clinical settings.
There may be bias or error due to the limitations of LLM.
Lack of performance evaluation using large datasets.
