ChatGPT has gained remarkable traction since its inception in November 2022. However, it faces limitations in generating inaccurate responses, ignoring existing guidelines, and lacking reasoning when applied in clinical settings. This study introduces ChatGPT-CARE, a tool that integrates clinical practice guidelines with ChatGPT, focusing on COVID-19 outpatient treatment decisions. By employing in-context learning and chain-of-thought prompting techniques, ChatGPT-CARE enhances original ChatGPTs clinical decision support and reasoning capabilities. We created three categories of various descriptions of patients seeking COVID-19 treatment to evaluate the proposed tool, and asked two physicians specialized in pulmonary disease and critical care to assess the responses for accuracy, hallucination, and clarity. The results indicate that ChatGPT-CARE offers increased accuracy and clarity, with moderate hallucination, compared to the original ChatGPT. The proposal ChatGPT-CARE could be a viable AI-driven clinical decision support tool superior to ChatGPT, with potential applications beyond COVID-19 treatment decision support.
