Driving Healthcare Transformation Through Generative AI
• UCSF-BERT : The University of California at San Francisco ( UCSF ) has used the open-source Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers ( BERT ) and trained it with the corpus of 75 million deidentified clinical notes , to create a medical LLM 17 . They also evaluated the UCSF-BERT model on two tasks that use the patient ' s discharge summaries from UCSF . The first task does the ICD-9 diagnostic code assignment , and the second task does the therapeutic class inference .
• Mayo Clinic : Mayo Clinic has done an early pilot for combining the power of LLMs with Microsoft 365 CoPilot , involving hundreds of doctors , clinical staff and healthcare workers 18 . GenAI will help Mayo Clinic physicians automate many form-filling tasks and allow them to focus on patient care . Dr Bradley Erickson is working on generating Brain MRI 19 at the Radiology Informatics Lab at Mayo Clinic .
These examples show that there is increased investment and experimentation with GenAI , in the healthcare industry . In addition , HCA Healthcare is working with Google on GenAI for hospitals 20 and UNC Health 21 is working with Epic and Microsoft on integration of LLMs with Epic software for EMR . As a result , many healthcare stakeholders are feeling the pressure to not be left behind .
3 GENERATIVE AI FOR PATIENT CARE
In this section we will go into the details of each of the four use cases of GenAI for medical patient care and creating efficiencies in the system with the patient at the center of it . Before we get into the details of these four cases , that are being piloted at Atlantic Healthcare Systems , we look into our point of view of the relationship between the medical domain and medical LLMs in Figure 3-1 .
