What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Adopt with guardrails

Why
It is the most rigorous public medical-LLM benchmark and a strong relative-ranking tool, but peer-reviewed critique (Digital Health, 2025) is explicit that benchmark performance does not equal clinical readiness — use it to compare models, not to certify safety.
Next
Use HealthBench as one signal in model selection, but pair with prospective silent-mode EHR evaluation against real clinician decisions before any clinical reliance
