LLM-Powered Self-Auditing Framework for Healthcare Data Pipelines: Continuous Validation Lifecycle (Published)
This article introduces novel prompting methodologies that enable Large Language Models (LLMs) to perform sophisticated semantic analysis of healthcare data pipelines, achieving unprecedented accuracy in detecting complex logical inconsistencies and clinical guideline violations. The proposed hierarchical prompting strategy, combined with chain-of-thought reasoning workflows and dynamic context injection, represents a fundamental advancement in applying LLMs to domain-specific technical auditing tasks. Our methodology achieved a 42% improvement in error detection sensitivity, and 35% reduction in false positive rates compared to standard prompting approaches, with 58% improvement in detecting complex multi-condition clinical protocols. Implementation within a comprehensive self-auditing framework across diverse healthcare organizations demonstrates the methodology’s effectiveness in detecting critical inconsistencies in EHR data transformation workflows, clinical dashboard calculations, and regulatory compliance verification.
