• Authors: Xiaocheng Zhang, Zonghai Yao, Hong Yu
• Abstract summary: This paper introduces the NoteAid EHR Interaction Pipeline, an innovative approach developed using generative LLMs to assist in patient education. We extract datasets containing 10,000 instances from MIMIC Discharge Summaries and 876 instances from the MADE medical notes collection, respectively, executing the two tasks through the NoteAid EHR Interaction Pipeline. Through a comprehensive evaluation of the entire dataset using LLM assessment and a rigorous manual evaluation of 64 instances, we showcase the potential of LLMs in patient education.

• Abstract: With the rapid advancement of Large Language Models (LLMs) and their outstanding performance in semantic and contextual comprehension, the potential of LLMs in specialized domains warrants exploration. This paper introduces the NoteAid EHR Interaction Pipeline, an innovative approach developed using generative LLMs to assist in patient education, a task stemming from the need to aid patients in understanding Electronic Health Records (EHRs). Building upon the NoteAid work, we designed two novel tasks from the patient's perspective: providing explanations for EHR content that patients may not understand and answering questions posed by patients after reading their EHRs. We extracted datasets containing 10,000 instances from MIMIC Discharge Summaries and 876 instances from the MADE medical notes collection, respectively, executing the two tasks through the NoteAid EHR Interaction Pipeline with these data. Performance data of LLMs on these tasks were collected and constructed as the corresponding NoteAid EHR Interaction Dataset. Through a comprehensive evaluation of the entire dataset using LLM assessment and a rigorous manual evaluation of 64 instances, we showcase the potential of LLMs in patient education. Besides, the results provide valuable data support for future exploration and applications in this domain while also supplying high-quality synthetic datasets for in-house system training.

  Vision-Language Models (VLM) can support clinicians by analyzing medical images and engaging in natural language interactions. VLMs often exhibit "hallucinogenic" behavior, generating textual outputs not grounded in contextual multimodal information. We propose a new alignment algorithm that uses symbolic representations of clinical reasoning to ground VLMs in medical knowledge.

We first created the dataset, an extensive collection of over 50,000 unique (medical term, lay definition) pairs and 300,000 mentions. We have also engineered a data-centric Human-AI pipeline that synergizes data filtering, augmentation, and selection to improve data quality.

  Automatic summarisation of a patient's problems in the form of a problem list can aid stakeholders in understanding a patient's condition, reducing workload and cognitive bias. BioNLP 2023 Shared Task 1A focuses on generating a list of diagnoses and problems from the provider's progress notes during hospitalisation. One component employs large language models (LLMs) for data augmentation; the other is an abstractive summarisation LLM with a novel pre-training objective for generating the patients' problems summarised as a list. Our approach was ranked second among all submissions to the shared task.
