Increase your sample size by asking LLM chatbot the same question 100 times. Wait, maybe not? Rob Gallo, MD diving in on evaluating generative #AI . Repeated prompting like asking the same person a question or like random sampling from a population of people?jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/…

Fascinating regression discontinuity study in JAMA Internal Medicine of Epic's deterioration index (EDI) by Rob Gallo, MD

EDI alerts reduced rapid response & ICU transfers

Though sensitive to bandwidth choice below & above the EDI threshold when the alert fires

In this quasi-experimental study, a deterioration model intervention was found to be associated with a decreased risk of escalations in care during hospitalization. ja.ma/4aqjG7V

Mitigating the 'black box' of AI: LLMs can imitate diagnostic reasoning strategies when solving clinical cases & provide an interpretable means to assess if the generated answer is true/false based on the diagnostic reasoning's factual & logical accuracy.

Robert Gallo, a postdoc at Stanford, presents at the 2023 NLM T15 Conference hosted by Stanford DBDS on Friday morning.

Thank you VA Patient Safety and Ci2i Fellowships (VAPAHCS) for supporting this work! Paul Heidenreich

approach to inducible AmpC beta-lactamase organisms has been revised recently by the IDSA.

SPICE bugs are now obsolete😢

this is a big deal, with implications for antibiotic management of commonly encountered organisms

new guidelines summarized in IBCC: emcrit.org/ibcc/antibioti…

A recent case got me thinking about diagnostic reasoning in difficult cases when a dozen things are evolving simultaneously.

You've heard about Occam's razor and Hickam's dictum, but what about Crabtree's bludgeon?
