Classification performance and reproducibility of GPT-4 omni for information extraction from veterinary electronic health records by Judit M. Wulcan, Kevin L. Jacques, Mary Ann Lee, Samantha L. Kovacs, Nicole Dausend, Lauren E. Prince, Jonatan Wulcan, Sina Marsilio, Stefan M. Keller

“…Most GPT-4o errors occurred in instances where humans disagreed [35/43 errors (81.4%)], suggesting that these errors were more likely caused by ambiguity of the EHR than explicit model faults. Using GPT-4o to automate information extraction from veterinary EHRs is a viable alternative to manual extraction, but requires validation for the intended setting to ensure accuracy and reliability.…”
