Abstract

BACKGROUND: The number of emergency department (ED) visits has been on steady increase globally. Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies, including Large Language Model (LLMs)-based generative AI models, have shown promise in improving triage accuracy. This study evaluates the performance of ChatGPT and Copilot in triage at a high-volume urban hospital, hypothesizing that these tools can match trained physicians' accuracy and reduce human bias amidst ED crowding challenges.
