EHRNote-ChatQA: A Benchmark for Evidence-Grounded Multi-Turn Clinical Question Answering over Longitudinal Discharge Summaries
arXiv:2606.15735v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Discharge summaries are crucial clinical documents containing the context of a patient's overall hospital stay, and are routinely reviewed by medical experts for patient readmission, ongoing care, and diagnostic decision-making. When reviewing them, medical experts often must iteratively synthesize information across multiple summaries while verifying the evidence supporting each answer. Although large language models (LLMs) are increasingly explored for clinical question answering, existing benchmarks do not sufficiently reflect this setting: th
The proliferation of powerful large language models (LLMs) is driving a need for specialized benchmarks to ensure their safe and effective application in critical domains like healthcare.
This benchmark addresses a critical gap in evaluating AI's ability to process and synthesize complex, longitudinal clinical data, which is essential for improving healthcare decision-making and patient outcomes.
The availability of this benchmark will accelerate the development and validation of LLMs designed for real-world clinical question answering, potentially leading to more accurate and reliable AI-assisted diagnoses and care plans.
