Abstract

BACKGROUND: Generative AI, particularly large language models (LLMs), holds great potential for improving patient care and operational efficiency in healthcare. However, the use of LLMs is complicated by regulatory concerns around data security and patient privacy. This study aimed to develop and evaluate a secure infrastructure that allows researchers to safely leverage LLMs in healthcare while ensuring HIPAA compliance and promoting equitable AI.
