Improving the Understandability of Clinical Guidelines: Development and Evaluation of a GPT-4–Based Pipeline

Authors should not use current LLMs to modify clinical guidelines without carefully checking the revised text for unintended omissions, additions, or changes in meaning. Further work should investigate the potential of LLMs to augment manual user testing and reduce the barriers to the wider use of this approach to improve the safety of clinical guidelines.

Abstract

Authors should not use current LLMs to modify clinical guidelines without carefully checking the revised text for unintended omissions, additions, or changes in meaning. Further work should investigate the potential of LLMs to augment manual user testing and reduce the barriers to the wider use of this approach to improve the safety of clinical guidelines.
