Researchers have developed TIR-EC, a novel framework that enhances large language models (LLMs) for predicting post-arrival emergency care needs. This system addresses LLM limitations in feature selection and numerical value interpretation within electronic health records (EHRs) by integrating tool-use reinforcement learning. TIR-EC allows LLMs to access EHR feature groups as tools and trains them using rewards from a gradient-boosted tree model, which guides the LLM with informative features and risk targets. Evaluations demonstrate that TIR-EC's 4B agent achieves superior performance on clinical prediction tasks, outperforming conventional machine learning baselines and competing with larger frontier LLMs. AI
