Large Language Model (LLM) in Medicine
Also known as: Medical LLM, Clinical LLM
A large language model applied to healthcare tasks such as documentation, summarization, or clinical Q&A.
A large language model (LLM) in medicine refers to a general-purpose or medically fine-tuned language model applied to healthcare tasks such as drafting clinical documentation, summarizing patient records, answering clinical questions, or supporting administrative workflows.
LLMs are prone to generating plausible-sounding but incorrect output ("hallucination"), which is why clinical LLM deployments are typically paired with human review, source citation, or constrained-output design rather than used for unsupervised clinical decisions.
