Reliably processing and interlinking medical information has been recognized as a critical foundation to the digital transformation of medical workflows, and despite the development of medical ontologies, the optimization of these has been a major bottleneck to digital medicine. The advent of large language models has brought great excitement, and maybe a solution to the medicines' 'communication problem' is in sight, but how can the known weaknesses of these models, such as hallucination and non-determinism, be tempered? Retrieval Augmented Generation, particularly through knowledge graphs, is an automated approach that can deliver structured reasoning and a model of truth alongside LLMs, relevant to information structuring and therefore also to decision support.
