Researchers have developed two new estimators, SCOPE and REACH, to improve the efficiency of generative foundation models used with electronic health records (EHRs). These models typically predict clinical outcomes by simulating future patient trajectories, but this process is computationally expensive and prone to high variance. SCOPE and REACH leverage underutilized next-token probability distributions to significantly reduce computational costs and improve accuracy, especially for rare outcomes. Empirical tests on clinical data demonstrated that these new methods can match the accuracy of standard Monte Carlo sampling with substantially fewer computational resources. AI
