Researchers have developed a novel method to automatically convert unstructured clinical guidelines from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) into executable computational models. This approach utilizes large language models (LLMs) to transform text-based recommendations into a format that can generate patient-specific, explainable clinical advice. Applied to NICE guidelines for pancreatic and lung cancer, the system demonstrated strong alignment with expert reviews, with most discrepancies being minor omissions rather than logical errors. An executable model for pancreatic cancer achieved an F1 score of 82.5% on patient vignettes, indicating the potential for scalable, automated generation of computable clinical guidelines. AI
IMPACT Automates the creation of computable clinical guidelines, potentially improving consistency and scalability in healthcare.
