| contents | Motivation: Patient-generated text contains critical information about patients' lived experiences, social circumstances, and engagement in care, including factors that strongly influence adherence, care coordination, and health equity. However, these patient voice signals are rarely available in structured form, limiting their use in patient-centered outcomes research and clinical quality improvement. Reliable extraction of such information is therefore essential for understanding and addressing non-clinical drivers of health outcomes at scale.
Results: We introduce PVminer, a benchmark for structured extraction of patient voice, and propose PVminerLLM, a supervised fine-tuned large language model tailored to this task. Across multiple datasets and model sizes, PVminerLLM substantially outperforms prompt-based baselines, achieving up to 83.82% F1 for Code prediction, 80.74% F1 for Sub-code prediction, and 87.03% F1 for evidence Span extraction. Notably, strong performance is achieved even with smaller models, demonstrating that reliable patient voice extraction is feasible without extreme model scale. These results enable scalable analysis of social and experiential signals embedded in patient-generated text.
Availability and Implementation: Code, evaluation scripts, and trained LLMs will be released publicly. Annotated datasets will be made available upon request for research use.
Keywords: Large Language Models, Supervised Fine-Tuning, Medical Annotation, Patient-Generated Text, Clinical NLP |
