Enhancing Interdisciplinary Understanding of Ophthalmology Notes Through a Local Large Language Model

This prospective, randomized controlled trial evaluated the efficacy of adding Large Language model (LLM)-generated Plain Language Summaries (PLSs) to Standard Ophthalmology Notes (SONs) in enhancing comprehension among non-ophthalmology providers. The study utilized surveys to assess non-ophthalmology providers\' comprehension and satisfaction with the notes and ophthalmologists\' evaluation of PLS accuracy, safety, and time burden. An objective semantic and linguistic analysis of the PLSs was also conducted.
