FHIR-RAG-MEDS: Integrating HL7 FHIR with Retrieval-Augmented Large Language Models for Enhanced Medical Decision Support

In recent years, the field of medical informatics has seen significant advancements with the introduction of medical large language models (LLMs). These models, powered by artificial intelligence, have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in understanding and generating medical text, providing valuable assistance in clinical decision - making, diagnostics, and patient care. Prom inent examples include models such as Meditron [1], BioMistral [2] and OpenBioLLM [3], which have shown considerable promise in various medical applications. However, despite these advancements, the inherent limitations of medical LLMs highlight the need for more robust solutions.
