Style Matters: Adhering to Style Guides in GenAI-Assisted Medical Writing
Nov 01, 2024This article explores the importance of consistency in medical writing, especially for regulatory submissions. It highlights the challenges medical writers face in adhering to style guidelines and discusses how AuroraPrime Create simplifies compliance by enabling customized rule configurations for GenAI-generated text. This automation helps ensure accuracy and regulatory readiness in clinical documents.
In medical writing, especially for regulatory submissions, style is paramount for ensuring clarity, consistency, and professionalism. Following a structured style not only enhances the credibility of clinical documents but is also essential for regulatory approval.
While industry standards like the AMA Manual of Style provide a solid foundation, each company often has its own unique guidelines. For medical writers, aligning with both industry and corporate style guides is crucial for producing compliant and high-quality documentation.
Medical writers face several challenges when it comes to complying with writing style guidelines:
Navigating Extensive Rules: With hundreds of rules outlined in a typical style guide, complete compliance can be challenging.
GenAI Integration: Generative AI (GenAI) may not always produce content that aligns with style guidelines, adding complexity to the process.
Keeping Up with Changes: As style guides are regularly updated, medical writers face the added task of staying current.
This is where AuroraPrime Create comes in. AuroraPrime Create streamlines this process through its AI Augmentation Strategy feature, where writers can configure and manage style guide rules directly.
From language, tone, and grammar to citation formats, the system allows users to set custom prompts and rules for GenAI to follow. Once configured, AuroraPrime Create auto-generates narratives that adhere strictly to these style requirements. For large-scale document generation, writers can run this process server-side, leaving it to complete in the background and retrieving the finalized documents later under the Safety Narratives menu. The process remains active even if AuroraPrime is signed out or the browser is closed.
By automating style compliance, AuroraPrime Create enables medical writers to produce regulatory-ready documentation with ease and precision.
