Abstract

This review outlines the spectrum of quantitative and qualitative evaluation metrics adopted in existing studies, highlights key challenges in LLM evaluation, to catalyze further work towards standardized and domain-specific evaluation. Robust evaluation to effectively validate clinical LLM applications is crucial in closing the gap towards clinical integration.
