Recently the role of AI in healthcare has been deeply studied and discussed scientific literature. Promising applications artificial intelligence machine learning (AI/ML) are revolutionizing both clinical administrative domains, with significant advancements demonstrated drug discovery, precise analysis interpretation radiological images, early accurate sepsis detection, ePicient hospital resource management, automated documentation encounters decision support system (DSS). These use cases underscore immense potential AI/ML to enhance ePiciency, accuracy, outcomes across spectrum (1). However a very recent article raises essential considerations about adoption regulation settings (2). Therefore integration Artificial Intelligence (AI) presents numerous opportunities challenges. Conversely, there is gap between clinician education regarding regulatory measures necessary for ethical deployment. To address this ePectively, structured, organized approach must be followed, encompassing clearly defined steps clinicians establishment rigorous frameworks. This paper argues that bridging requires dual approach: enhancing clinicians' understanding technologies treating systems as rigorously pharmaceuticals through strict processes. By doing so, we can foster ePective into practice, ensuring patient safety better outcomes.

The European Union's recently adopted Artificial Intelligence (AI) Act is the first comprehensive legal framework specifically on AI. This particularly important for healthcare domain, as other existing harmonisation legislation, such Medical Device Regulation, do not explicitly cover medical AI applications. Given far-reaching impact of this regulation sector, commentary provides an overview key elements Act, with easy-to-follow references to relevant chapters.

Abstract Structured reporting (SR) has long been a goal in radiology to standardize and improve the quality of reports. Despite evidence that SR reduces errors, enhances comprehensiveness, increases adherence guidelines, its widespread adoption limited. Recently, large language models (LLMs) have emerged as promising solution automate facilitate SR. Therefore, this narrative review aims provide an overview LLMs for beyond. We found current literature on is limited, comprising ten studies generative pre-trained transformer (GPT)-3.5 ( n = 5) and/or GPT-4 8), while two additionally examined performance Perplexity Bing Chat or IT5. All reported results acknowledged potential SR, with six out demonstrating feasibility multilingual applications. Building upon these findings, we discuss limitations, regulatory challenges, further applications report processing, encompassing four main areas: documentation, translation summarization, clinical evaluation, data mining. In conclusion, underscores transformative efficiency accuracy processing. Key Points Question How can help make more ubiquitous ? Findings Current leveraging sparse but shows results, including .

Effectively managing evidence-based information is increasingly challenging. This study tested large language models (LLMs), including document- and online-enabled retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems, using 13 recent neurology guidelines across 130 questions. Results showed substantial variability. RAG improved accuracy compared to base but still produced potentially harmful answers. RAG-based systems performed worse on case-based than knowledge-based Further refinement regulation needed for safe clinical integration of RAG-enhanced LLMs.
