Trauma Triage Improves When the Model Advises, Not Decides
A University at Buffalo study found clinicians made more accurate calls when an LLM recommendation accompanied noisy emergency communications.
Summary
A University at Buffalo study found clinicians made more accurate calls when an LLM recommendation accompanied noisy emergency communications.
Language models could match or slightly exceed human interpretation of prehospital trauma calls, while clinicians performed best when they saw a model recommendation alongside their own judgment. The result supports decision support, not autonomous triage, and needs prospective clinical validation.
