A new study published on arXiv explores how Large Language Models (LLMs) can be improved to better identify and prioritize medical jargon in electronic health records (EHRs) for patient comprehension. Researchers compared various prompting techniques, fine-tuning, and data augmentation strategies using both closed-source and open-source LLMs. The findings indicate that while fine-tuning open-source models like DeepSeek 8B and BioMistral 7B can yield strong results, data augmentation, particularly when using GPT-4o for generation, proved to be equally or more effective, especially in low-resource settings. The study highlights the significant impact of prompting strategies and data quality on LLM performance for clinical jargon extraction. AI
