Administrative documentation is a major driver of rising healthcare costs and is linked to adverse outcomes, including physician burnout and diminished quality of care. This paper introduces a secure system that applies recent advancements in speech-to-text transcription and speaker-labeling (diarization) to patient-provider conversations. This system is optimized to produce accurate transcriptions and highlight potential errors to promote rapid human verification, further reducing the necessary manual effort. Applied to over 40 hours of simulated conversations, this system offers a promising foundation for automating clinical transcriptions. Introduction Accurate and timely documentation is essential in the healthcare sector, but manual transcription of patient-physician interactions is laborious, and errors are common. The extensive burden of documentation placed on clinicians takes away valuable time from patient care.

This paper introduces a user-friendly platform developed by the University of Kentucky Center for Applied AI, designed to make large, customized language models (LLMs) more accessible. By capitalizing on recent advancements in multi-LoRA inference, the system efficiently accommodates custom adapters for a diverse range of users and projects. The paper outlines the system's architecture and key features, encompassing dataset curation, model training, secure inference, and text-based feature extraction. We illustrate the establishment of a tenant-aware computational network using agent-based methods, securely utilizing islands of isolated resources as a unified system. The platform strives to deliver secure LLM services, emphasizing process and data isolation, end-to-end encryption, and role-based resource authentication. This contribution aligns with the overarching goal of enabling simplified access to cutting-edge AI models and technology in support of scientific discovery.
