Wonder what we are up to at #AMIA2024 ? We hope you will join us at our sessions on LLMs, predictive analytics, human factors, and more! University of Wisconsin Department of Medicine UW School of Medicine and Public Health Univ. of Wisconsin Emergency Medicine UW-Madison Critical Care Medicine Data Science Lab


Here are some reflections on many studies we did this year. Tons of progress has been made, but there are still safety concerns..🧐 We are going to be at #EMNLP2024 🏖️ Happy to chat and connect! 📃huggingface.co/blog/shanchen/… 🔊tinyurl.com/aimpodcast24 Danielle Bitterman, MD jack gallifant


A day of presenting many of our NLP work at AMIA! P1: our JBI paper on role of UMLS supporting DDx by LLM P3: Multi-modal ML for clinical prediction P4: Human&Auto Eval for LLM Diagnosis prediction #AMIA2024 UW-Madison Critical Care Medicine Data Science Lab Majid Afshar


🤖Are LLMs good at tabular medical data? 🥼Can they be useful for medical machine learning tasks and beat classical ML setup? #EMNLP2024 Stop by our poster Nov 14 (Thu), session 12, 14:00-15:30 Paper available🎉: aclanthology.org/2024.findings-… LARK NLP Lab UW-Madison Critical Care Medicine Data Science Lab



Our preprint is live! Learn how we prepared for a clinical trial of GenAI in healthcare: A Novel Playbook for Pragmatic Trial Operations to Monitor and Evaluate Ambient Artificial Intelligence in Clinical Practice medrxiv.org/content/10.110… UW Applied Clinical Informatics UW Health Abridged

Skatje Myers led our team in exploring how different embedding models and pooling methods affect EHR information retrieval for the clinical domain, to inform strategies for RAG frameworks in healthcare applications! yanjungao Majid Afshar Dmitriy Dligach National Library of Medicine

TRIPOD-LLM is out! Check out our consensus guidelines for reporting #LLM research in biomedicine. TRIPOD-LLM is intended to be a living guideline to keep up with the rapid advances in #LLMs/Gen AI. Kudos to lead author jack gallifant




Epic staff are also contributing to the science behind this work—like in this recent npj Journals paper on evaluating AI-generated clinical summaries. Lots more to do on this front. nature.com/articles/s4440…

Thanks for the mention, Epic! Our Clinical Informatics team is thrilled to be a part of this collaboration. Majid Afshar UW-Madison Critical Care Medicine Data Science Lab Joel Gordon Peter Kleinschmidt University of Wisconsin Department of Medicine




See our JAMA article by the UW-Madison Critical Care Medicine Data Science Lab, Pragmatic Critical Care Research Group, ANZICS! 2x RCTs + ML modeling = Individualized oxygenation targets -> improve survival of critically ill patients undergoing invasive mechanical ventilation. jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/…

Big shoutout to Dr. Majid Afshar Majid Afshar of University of Wisconsin Department of Medicine, Dr. Brian Patterson of Univ. of Wisconsin Emergency Medicine, and PhD student Emma Croxford of UW BMI for representing UW–Madison at Epic’s XGM in front of hundreds at the Physician Advisory Council! 👏🎆 UW Applied Clinical Informatics (1/4)


What a fun and important collaboration with Epic to build such an important open-source tool for evaluating ChatGPT outputs in healthcare. Evaluation is a must to understand how we can integrate AI safely and effectively into our practice - check it out! UW-Madison Critical Care Medicine Data Science Lab
