arXiv:2606. 07237v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly used in healthcare for tasks such as clinical question answering, diagnosis support, and report summarization.
The study evaluates how clinical language models perform when patient narratives are presented in different voices—clinical, socioeconomic, and cultural—using 1,000 MedQA cases paired with three retellings each. All 12 tested models show a significant drop in accuracy (about 26% more errors) when the patient speaks in a marked voice, a penalty that persists even when the original vignette is included verbatim and is not explained by measured retelling properties. The authors find that rewriting the patient’s account into a clinical vignette before answering can halve this accuracy gap, though structured schema pipelines and additional reasoning tools offer limited improvements.
