What’s Going On With Me and How Can I Better Manage My Health? The Potential of GPT-4 to Transform Discharge Letters Into Patient-Centered Letters to Enhance Patient Safety: Prospective, Exploratory Study
Our study demonstrates that GPT-4 has the potential to transform discharge letters into more patient-centered communication. While the readability and patient centricity of the transformed letters are well-established, they do not fully address all patient safety-relevant information, resulting in the omission of key aspects. Further optimization of prompt engineering may help address this issue and improve the completeness of the transformation.
