ChatGPT is increasingly receiving attention and has a variety of application scenarios in clinical practice, including decision support, medical documentation, telemedicine, and remote health care, etc. In addition, ChatGPT has been used for question-answering to provide information about diseases and medical queries. There are inconsistent reports in evaluating information quality of ChatGPT in answering clinical questions. Would the evaluation criteria for online health websites be applicable to evaluate ChatGPT information? What kind of clinical questions are answered by ChatGPT with good quality? Would the context of questions impact the quality of information answered by Chat GPT? The presentation summarizes the published literature on this topic, explores possible evaluation scheme of ChatGPT in the context of clinical care, and exchange ideas of research design on the ChatGPT evaluation.
