A new research paper highlights a significant gap in how large language models (LLMs) are evaluated for medical consultations. Current evaluations often occur after a patient's issue is well-defined, neglecting the initial vague or misframed concerns that characterize real-world first-contact behavior. The study tested three API models using physician-authored vignettes and standardized-patient simulations, finding that specific instructions improved documentation and sequencing, though not always eliciting crucial facts.
