Prompting is All You Need: How to Make LLMs More Helpful for Clinical Decision Support

2026-02-22

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Importance</h4> Large language models (LLMs) offer potential decision support, but their accuracy varies. Prompt engineering can generally enhance LLM behavior in a clinical context, yet best practices have yet to be formally explored in realistic neurology settings. <h4>Objective</h4> To evaluate the impact of structured prompting versus simple prompting on the performance of six LLMs (three closed-source:...
