Tiivistelmä
This paper explores the potential of Large Language Models (LLMs) to improve patient safety incident (PSI) reporting in Finland. Through semi-structured interviews with doctors and authorities, key requirements and perspectives on AI integration were gathered. A Proof-of-Concept (PoC) study evaluated the feasibility of using a commercial LLM (GPT-4o) to generate structured PSI reports from unstructured clinical text from patient records. Interview results highlighted the need for integrated and automated reporting systems, with AI seen as a tool to reduce documenting burden and improve data analysis. The PoC demonstrated the technological capability of the LLM to generate coherent and relevant reports but also revealed challenges in completeness and distinguishing incident causality. The findings suggest promising avenues for leveraging LLMs in PSI reporting, warranting further research and development for national implementation.
