A Correct Diagnosis Can Still Miss the Shift: Asclepius Targets Clinical-Agent Execution
TL;DR for operators A capable agent can identify the right problem and still fail to finish the job. In the clinical simulation studied here, the stronger baseline framework averaged 4.39/5 on diagnosis, but only 2.94/5 on critical actions and 3.34/5 on timeliness. Asclepius attacks that gap without changing the underlying model weights. It combines three forms of scaffolding: an operating manual refined from prior simulated shifts, an external library of clinical skills, and specialized subagents for triage, diagnosis, and treatment completion. ...
