A Generative Approach for Semantic Auditing of Electronic Health Records

arXiv:2507.02628v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The reliability of clinical artificial intelligence (AI) depends on high-quality data, yet Electronic Health Records are often inconsistent with existing scientific knowledge. Current quality assessments are limited: they either focus on syntax or rely on labor-intensive manual rules to capture semantic nuances. To overcome these scalability barriers, we propose Medical Data Pecking, a methodology that adopts software unit testing principles for medical data validation. It introduces Semantic Data Coverage, employing Large Language Models to

Why this matters
Why now

The increasing deployment of AI in clinical settings necessitates robust validation methods as the limitations of current quality assessments become glaringly obvious.

Why it’s important

Ensuring the reliability and safety of AI in healthcare is paramount, and this approach addresses a critical bottleneck in deploying trustworthy AI systems.

What changes

The proposed 'Medical Data Pecking' methodology offers a scalable and semantically aware way to audit electronic health records, moving beyond manual or syntax-focused checks.

Winners
  • · AI developers in healthcare
