Clinical Performance and Communication Skills of ChatGPT Versus Physicians in Emergency Medicine: Simulated Patient Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Emergency medicine can benefit from artificial intelligence (AI) due to its unique challenges, such as high patient volume and the need for urgent interventions. However, it remains difficult to assess the applicability of AI systems to real-world emergency medicine practice, which requires not only medical knowledge but also adaptable problem-solving and effective communication skills.

Objective

We aimed to evaluate ChatGPT's (OpenAI) performance in comparison to human doctors in simulated emergency medicine settings, using the framework of clinical performance examination and written examinations.

Methods

In total, 12 human doctors were recruited to represent the medical professionals. Both ChatGPT and the human doctors were instructed to manage each case
