Turn clinician instructions into a patient-friendly handout
Rewrites approved clinician instructions at a plain-language reading level, keeping the clinical content exactly the same and adding clear when-to-call guidance.
The prompt
Rewrite these clinician-approved instructions as a patient handout.
Original instructions: [PASTE - approved by our clinician]
Topic: [e.g. "preparing for a colonoscopy", "caring for a wound after a minor procedure", "what to expect at your first PT visit"]
Audience: [e.g. adults, parents of young children, older adults]
Reading level target: [e.g. 6th grade]
Language(s): [e.g. English; Spanish version to be professionally translated]
Our contact details and after-hours line: [DETAILS]
Rules:
- Keep every clinical instruction, number, time, and dose exactly as written. Do not add, remove, or soften any clinical content. If something is unclear or seems contradictory, flag it as [CLINICIAN TO CONFIRM] instead of resolving it.
- Short sentences, everyday words, active voice. Define any medical term you must keep.
- Organize as: What this is for, Before, Day of, After, When to call us, When to call 911 or go to the emergency room. Use only warning signs given in the original; if none are given, insert [CLINICIAN TO ADD WARNING SIGNS].
- Use numbered steps for sequences and checkboxes for things to bring.
- Fit on one double-sided page.
Return:
1. The handout.
2. A list of every change from the original, so the clinician can approve it quickly.
3. The estimated reading level and any words still above target.
The handout must be reviewed and approved by the responsible clinician before use.
