摘要

Generative language models have changed the landscape of artificial intelligence in recent years. However, despite their advanced capabilities, they are prone to generate misleading results and may invent answers. In Spain, the National Health System has collected numerous health guides to inform medical procedures and protocols. In this paper, we utilize advanced generalist language models to extract relevant information and analyze validated content from health clinical guidelines. This approach offers innovative automated support for evidence-based clinical decision making. In our proposal, each of the system’s responses must track the source of the clinical evidence on which it is based, protecting users from hallucinatory responses. To study its feasibility in different medical settings, four clinical guidelines have been evaluated by human medical experts showing high reliability and traceability of evidence.
