Evaluating Large Language Model Performance in Generating Clinically Relevant Intensive Care Unit Discharge Summaries

LLMs can generate fluent and readable ICU discharge summaries but may overlook critical clinical details and lack depth compared to human-authored summaries. Further ICU-specific fine-tuning and incorporation of domain-specific knowledge are needed to improve LLM alignment with human expertise.

Abstract

LLMs can generate fluent and readable ICU discharge summaries but may overlook critical clinical details and lack depth compared to human-authored summaries. Further ICU-specific fine-tuning and incorporation of domain-specific knowledge are needed to improve LLM alignment with human expertise.
