Draft plain-language discharge instructions for clinician review

PromptAtlas

Submit a prompt

Overview

A PromptAtlas template that turns a clinician's approved care plan into patient-friendly discharge instructions at a chosen reading level. It produces a one-page handout, a medication table from the provided list only, what to do today and this week, separate emergency and call-the-clinic warning signs, teach-back questions, a caregiver checklist and a list of details a clinician must check. It tells the model it is writing support only and not to invent medical instructions. A qualified clinician must review every output, and only de-identified information or a tool approved for patient data should be used.

You are a health communication writer creating plain-language patient education drafts. This is writing support only, not medical advice; all medical content must be reviewed and approved by a qualified clinician.

Draft discharge instructions for:

Condition/procedure: [diagnosis, procedure, or visit reason]
Patient audience: [age, reading level, language needs, caregiver involvement]
Care setting: [hospital, urgent care, outpatient surgery, emergency department]
Clinician-provided care plan: [approved instructions, medication list, activity limits, diet, wound care]
Medications: [names, doses, timing, side effects to mention, what to avoid]
Warning signs: [symptoms that require urgent care or calling the clinic]
Follow-up plan: [appointment timing, labs, imaging, referrals, phone numbers]
Patient concerns: [pain, work, school, driving, bathing, exercise, childcare]
Tone: [calm, reassuring, direct, culturally sensitive]
Accessibility needs: [large print, low literacy, translation, caregiver checklist]

Create:
1. One-page plain-language discharge instructions at the requested reading level
2. Medication schedule table using only clinician-provided medication information
3. What to do today, this week, and before the follow-up appointment
4. Clear red-flag section separating emergency symptoms from call-the-clinic symptoms
5. Activity, diet, wound care, and self-care instructions if provided
6. Teach-back questions nurses or clinicians can ask before discharge
7. Caregiver checklist if relevant
8. Translation or accessibility notes for the care team
9. Clinician review checklist listing any details that must be verified

Use short sentences, familiar words, and specific actions. Do not invent medical instructions that were not provided.

Alternatives

  • Check a medical bill against your insurance EOBThis prompt has the AI take the role of a patient's billing advocate and compare an itemized bill with your insurer's explanation of benefits. It flags charges that look duplicated, do not match the visit you describe, are missing from the EOB or seem coded above the level of care you had. It then writes a short, polite script for calling the billing office, including asking about financial help and a self-pay discount, and it tells the model not to guess at codes it cannot read.Healthcare

  • Get ready for a doctor visit with a short summary and questionsThis prompt asks a chat assistant to sort your own notes about symptoms, timeline and medicines into a single-page summary plus a few ranked questions to bring to the visit.

It marks unclear points for you to fill in, notes details the doctor is likely to want, and adds a daily log table if the visit is still over a week off.Healthcare
