Outline

This paper investigates the potential of large-scale language models (LLMs) for use in medical decision support. We begin with a discussion of the treatment problem, a core medical decision-making task for patients that is addressed in collaboration with healthcare providers. We discuss approaches to treatment problem solving that include clinical trials and observational data within evidence-based medicine, and discuss differences with treatment problems, particularly chat problems related to imitation. We highlight how LLMs can be used to address treatment problems and some of the challenges that arise. Finally, we discuss how these challenges relate to evidence-based medicine and how this might inform future steps.

Takeaways, Limitations

Takeaways: To suggest the potential use of LLM in medical decision support and to suggest future research directions by exploring the potential benefits and challenges of using LLM in the context of evidence-based medicine.
Limitations: There is no specific methodology or empirical research results for applying LLM to medical decision-making, but it is limited to conceptual discussion. There is insufficient discussion on the ethical and legal issues of utilizing LLM. The explanation of the difference between treatment problems and chat problems needs to be more specific.
