Clinician-Grounded Quality Assurance for AI-Assisted Psychiatric Intake

The paper introduces a clinician‑grounded evaluation platform called InterviewPlayground, which uses a memory‑augmented patient simulator to assess AI‑assisted psychiatric intake systems. It supports comparison across different interviewing styles, reduces clinician workload, and measures clinically relevant performance. In a pilot study, a GPT‑based intake interviewer captured more relevant items but made more unfounded inferences and missed safety concerns compared to clinicians.

OpenAIs HealthBench in Action: Evaluating an LLM-Based Medical Assistant on Realistic Clinical Queries

arXiv:2509. 02594v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Evaluating large language models (LLMs) on their ability to generate high-quality, accurate, situationally aware answers to clinical questions requires going beyond conventional benchmarks to assess how these systems behave in complex, high-stakes clinical scenarios.

AIPatient Arena: EHR-grounded evaluation of large language models in end-to-end clinical consultation workflows

arXiv:2606. 17474v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly considered for use in clinical consultation tasks, yet most medical evaluations remain static, single-turn, or narrowly outcome-based, limiting their ability to reflect the sequential, uncertain, and interactive nature of real-world care.
