To address the gap between high LLM scores on medical exams and poor clinical utility, researchers developed progressive benchmarks like MedHELM and PhysicianBench. These tools evaluate end-to-end task completion in real electronic health record systems rather than static knowledge testing. The initiative invites community contributions of workflow-specific benchmarks to accelerate practical medical AI adoption.
