From The Hill:
Doctors working in emergency departments might soon be able to use artificial intelligence to help determine which patients should be admitted to the hospital, according to a new study published Tuesday in the Journal of American Medical Informatics Association.
As part of the study, researchers used OpenAI’s GPT-4 to analyze medical records from more than 864,000 emergency room visits across seven Mount Sinai hospitals.
Researchers then tested the program to see how accurately the software could predict when those visits required admission to the hospital.
About 18 percent of those visits—or 159,857—resulted in a person being admitted to the hospital.
The large language model had an accuracy rate of about 83 percent which, while not perfect, means that the technology could soon support doctors in emergency rooms, according to researchers.
