Purpose and objectivesThis playbook provides a methodology for applying human-centered design (HCD) to develop locally relevant datasets for training and evaluating medical large language models (LLMs). The objectives of this playbook are to:Establish processes for gathering contextually appropriate medical scenarios from frontline health care workers (FLWs).Ensure artificial intelligence (AI) benefits reach underrepresented populationsAddress bias in existing LLMs by incorporating diverse medical knowledgeCreate frameworks for ongoing dataset improvementEmpower local stakeholders to shape AI tools reflecting their needsHow to use this playbookUse this resource as:A guide for creating inclusive medical datasetsA complement to evaluation frameworksA roadmap for replicating methodologies across contexts

En francaisABOUT THIS TOOLKITThe Health Information Systems Project Management toolkit was created for new and mid-level project managers to support preparation, planning, design, development, implementation, and project closeout processes. Overall, this toolkit is meant to support an Agile project management approach meaning that HIS projects are planned, designed and developed in an iterative way in order to deliver a product based on the actual needs of the stakeholders and end users of the product. This template serves as a guide and should be tailored to your project and project needs. Throughout the toolkit you’ll find useful links for additional templates, guidance (“boilerplate”) language to help guide, along with checklists to help project managers think through critical elements of this stage.

In EnglishÀ PROPOS DE CETTE BOÎTE À OUTILSLa boîte à outils pour la gestion de projets de systèmes d'information sur la santé a été créée pour les gestionnaires de projets débutants et intermédiaires afin de soutenir les processus de préparation, de planification, de conception, de développement, de mise en œuvre et de clôture de projet. Globalement, cette boîte à outils est destinée à soutenir une approche de gestion de projet agile, ce qui signifie que les projets SIH sont planifiés, conçus et développés de manière itérative afin de fournir un produit basé sur les besoins réels des parties prenantes et des utilisateurs finaux du produit. Ce modèle sert de guide et doit être adapté à votre projet et à ses besoins. Tout au long de la boîte à outils, vous trouverez des liens utiles vers des modèles supplémentaires, des lignes directrices ("boilerplate") pour aider à guider, ainsi que des listes de contrôle pour aider les gestionnaires de projet à réfléchir aux éléments critiques de cette étape.
