  This paper explores the development of the Six Stages of Information Search
Model and its enhancement through the application of the Large Language Model
(LLM) powered Information Search Processes (ISP) in healthcare. The Six Stages
Model, a foundational framework in information science, outlines the sequential
phases individuals undergo during information seeking: initiation, selection,
exploration, formulation, collection, and presentation. Integrating LLM
technology into this model significantly optimizes each stage, particularly in
healthcare. LLMs enhance query interpretation, streamline information retrieval
from complex medical databases, and provide contextually relevant responses,
thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of medical information searches.
This fusion not only aids healthcare professionals in accessing critical data
swiftly but also empowers patients with reliable and personalized health
information, fostering a more informed and effective healthcare environment.
