Stanford HealthCare developed a Surgical Co-Management Navigator tool using the O3 Mini model to screen next-day elective surgeries and identify patients needing surgical co-management. According to Heidi Porter, the institution established its own strict rubric in the prompt so the model could only apply the criteria and output yes, maybe, or no without hallucinating.
“Stanford HealthCare built a tool called Surgical Co-Management Navigator, and it screens next day elective surgeries to see which patients need surgical co-management.”
“Before launch, benchmarking five different LMs against consensus chart review and picked O3 Mini because it performed competitively at a lower cost.”
