> it seems unlikely that the LLM would be all that likely to “notice” a side note in a huge chart I respectfully disagree - I think LLM's have already made significant advances in this area as shown in the various "needle in a haystack" demonstrations we've seen over the past couple years. I've already been impressed by the minute but relevant details they can "recall" after being fed very dense journal articles and the technology is only getting better. Also keep in mind that the raw text / "data" itself found in many patients' charts is not always that expansive (though it certainly can be for patients with recurrent admissions). It's more an issue of finding the actual information given that EMR's are a nightmare to navigate effectively. Hallucinations are always a consideration too, but any implementation of the sort I mentioned before would certainly contain in-text backlinks to actual notes in the EMR. Epic already does this with their basic text search function. So I don't think hallucinations would be too problematic as clinicians should always be verifying this type of information at the source in good practice.
