Large language models (LLMs) are artificial intelligence (AI) based tools which are increasingly used in healthcare to improve clinical decision-making and patient safety. This article describes the MEDIC (medication direction copilot) system, which uses LMMs to reduce prescribing errors by improving medication direction-related communication. The researchers tested MEDIC within an existing pharmacy workflow and found that the tool led to a 3% reduction in direction-related near miss events.
