The field of clinical decision support is rapidly advancing with the integration of large language models (LLMs) and other artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. Recent developments have focused on improving the accuracy and safety of AI-assisted decision-making in healthcare, with a particular emphasis on addressing the challenges of data quality, clinical relevance, and patient-centered care. Notable advancements include the development of retrieval-augmented generation frameworks, expert-guided clinical text augmentation, and hierarchical error correction systems. These innovations have the potential to enhance the reliability and effectiveness of clinical decision support systems, ultimately leading to better patient outcomes. Noteworthy papers include LLM-Based Support for Diabetes Diagnosis, which evaluates the use of GPT-5 for diabetes diagnosis and demonstrates strong alignment with clinical criteria. Expert-guided Clinical Text Augmentation via Query-Based Model Collaboration is also noteworthy, as it proposes a novel framework for integrating expert-level domain knowledge into the augmentation process, resulting in improved safety and reduced factual errors.
