Beautiful work involving #AI at @nyulangone: Trained #LLM to analyze inpatient clinical notes & predict hospital readmissions with high accuracy in real-world setting. @lavenderchiang @monagflores @kchonyc @anthonycosta @ekoermann @Nature paper: nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Health system-scale language models are all-purpose prediction engines

Nature - A clinical language model trained on unstructured clinical notes from the electronic health record enhances prediction of clinical and operational events.
