ChatGPT and other Large Language Models (LLMs) are incredibly sophisticated search and summarization engines. There’s a lot of stuff they can do, including rudimentary physical diagnosis, and occasional flashes of insight when confronted with a bunch of confounding factors.
But they aren’t going to do subtle well. While it’s likely that LLMs will improve, they’re always going to be better at providing information about signs of developmental delays than making clear guidance. Too many other things go into the physician’s diagnosis. ChatGPT, in particular, is going to be reluctant to ever call anything abnormal.

Post-COVID, boarding rates continue to stay high or increase in some areas, as many presentations that used to be routed through primary care, nursing homes, urgent cares, or home health are presenting to the ED instead. With no PCP admission privileges, and most outside admissions coming through hospitalists and bed management, 75% of hospital admissions are now through the ER. Twenty percent of admissions are through transfers from another hospital. Many hospitalist structures require PCP-recommended admissions to come through the ER. The result of turning ERs into the admissions structure is boarding. According to ACEP, boarding times are up, though data on all of 2023 is hard to come by.
