Automatic generation of chemotherapy treatment timelines from electronic health records (EHRs) notes not only streamlines clinical workflows but also promotes better coordination and improvements in cancer treatment and quality of care. This paper describes the submission to the Chemotimelines 2024 shared task that aims to automatically build a chemotherapy treatment timeline for each patient using their complete set of EHR notes, spanning various sources such as primary care provider, oncology, discharge summaries, emergency department, pathology, radiology, and more. We report results from two large language models (LLMs), namely Llama 2 and Mistral 7B, applied to the shared task data using zero-shot prompting.
