Researchers have developed MediRec, a novel framework that leverages large language models (LLMs) for medication recommendation in Chinese healthcare settings. Unlike previous models trained on English data, MediRec is specifically designed for Chinese electronic health records and incorporates explainable clinical reasoning. The system combines clinically grounded reasoning-chain distillation with reinforcement learning to enhance both the accuracy and interpretability of its recommendations. Experiments on a Chinese medication recommendation benchmark demonstrated MediRec's effectiveness, achieving an F1 score of 0.5813 and a Jaccard score of 0.4626, while also providing transparent reasoning for its suggestions.
