Evaluation of model performance on refining medical responses using the specific 254 queries subset of the HealthBench dataset, focusing on improvement metrics like base vs. refined scores and statistical significance.

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.

| Scope | Recorded value |
| --- | --- |
| Task | Medical Response Refinement |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | HealthBench 254 medical queries |
| Metric | Base Score |
| Unit | PERCENT |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 4 of 4 |
| Coverage | All results currently returned for this benchmark |

Evaluation settings may differ between results. The original papers and recorded configurations are needed to establish comparability. A shared metric name alone does not establish an identical protocol.

## Metrics

- [Base Score](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/medical-response-refinement-on-healthbench-254-medical-queries.md?metric=Base%20Score>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [Refined Score](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/medical-response-refinement-on-healthbench-254-medical-queries.md?metric=Refined%20Score>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [Absolute Improvement (Δ)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/medical-response-refinement-on-healthbench-254-medical-queries.md?metric=Absolute%20Improvement%20(%CE%94)>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [Relative Improvement (%)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/medical-response-refinement-on-healthbench-254-medical-queries.md?metric=Relative%20Improvement%20(%25)>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [p-value](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/medical-response-refinement-on-healthbench-254-medical-queries.md?metric=p-value>): Lower is better; unit: SCALAR.
