From Becker's:
... the widespread availability and use of ChatGPT prompted the MagMutual team to test its effectiveness in the context of emergency medicine claims. Based on a national database at MagMutual, a de-identified retrospective cohort design was used to analyze closed malpractice claims.
Findings & Results
The findings of this informal study revealed that ChatGPT may have prevented slightly more than half (52%) of the claims examined.
In cases where it was effective, ChatGPT suggested appropriate diagnostic studies and dispositions.
In the remaining 48% of cases, ChatGPT's suggestions would not likely have prevented the claims due to factors like rare or complex diagnoses, incomplete information or critical misses during physical exams.
AI shows promise in augmenting diagnostic skills and potentially reducing the risk of misdiagnosis in emergency medicine, particularly in uncertain or challenging cases.
AI could aid physicians in documenting their clinical reasoning and decision-making processes, potentially improving communication and the defensibility of any claim that could arise.
