在资源匮乏医院中,用协作框架让医生和开发者共同设计出可信赖的LLM病患社会需求摘要工具。
When the Domain Expert Has No Time and the LLM Developer Has No Clinical Expertise: Real-World Lessons from LLM Co-Design in a Safety-Net Hospital
- 将摘要任务拆解为可单独优化的属性,分层迭代优化
- 通过多级递进验证确保信息准确、完整且可追溯
- 适合医疗资源紧张环境下缺乏临床专家深度参与的LLM开发
大型语言模型(LLMs)有望通过改造资源受限环境中的高耗时工作流,应对健康的社会与行为决定因素。但要构建真正服务弱势群体的LLM应用,需深入理解本地情境,而开发者往往缺乏临床背景,领域专家又常因时间与资源不足难以深度参与。这导致开发者与专家间沟通受阻,如何有效协同设计成为难题。本研究基于一家安全网医院的真实案例,数据科学团队与社工合作开发一个用于总结患者社会需求的LLM应用。不同于以往关注提示工程调优的研究,我们发现最核心挑战在于精确界定应向医护人员呈现的信息内容,以确保应用的准确性、全面性与可验证性。为此,我们提出一种新型协同设计框架:先将摘要任务分解为独立可优化的属性,再通过多层级递进式方法高效地进行精炼与验证。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Large language models (LLMs) have the potential to address social and behavioral determinants of health by transforming labor intensive workflows in resource-constrained settings. Creating LLM-based applications that serve the needs of underserved communities requires a deep understanding of their local context, but it is often the case that neither LLMs nor their developers possess this local expertise, and the experts in these communities often face severe time/resource constraints. This creates a disconnect: how can one engage in meaningful co-design of an LLM-based application for an under-resourced community when the communication channel between the LLM developer and domain expert is constrained? We explored this question through a real-world case study, in which our data science team sought to partner with social workers at a safety net hospital to build an LLM application that summarizes patients' social needs. Whereas prior works focus on the challenge of prompt tuning, we found that the most critical challenge in this setting is the careful and precise specification of \what information to surface to providers so that the LLM application is accurate, comprehensive, and verifiable. Here we present a novel co-design framework for settings with limited access to domain experts, in which the summary generation task is first decomposed into individually-optimizable attributes and then each attribute is efficiently refined and validated through a multi-tier cascading approach.
