Abstract
The automatic identification of medical errors in clinical notes is crucial for improving the quality of healthcare services.LLMs emerge as a powerful artificial intelligence tool for automating this task. However, LLMs present vulnerabilities, high costs, and sometimes a lack of transparency. This article addresses the detection of medical errors through the fine-tuning approach, conducting a comprehensive comparison between various models and exploring in depth the components of the machine learning pipeline. The results obtained with the fine-tuned ClinicalBert and Gated recurrent units (Gru) models show an accuracy of 0.56 and 0.55, respectively. This approach not only mitigates the problems associated with the use of LLMs but also demonstrates how exhaustive iteration in critical phases of the pipeline, especially in feature selection, can facilitate the automation of clinical record analysis.
