✅ Why Use a Personalised Prompt?
-
🧩 Fits Your Style
Whether you document in short bullet points or prefer detailed narrative sections, prompts ensure the note reflects your clinical voice. -
📋 Keeps You Consistent
Prompts help you structure notes the same way each time — particularly helpful if you work across clinics or see diverse patient cohorts. -
🔐 Reduces Risk
Prompts tell the AI to only include content actually discussed or documented — ensuring safe, compliant records. -
💡 Saves Time
With a well-designed prompt, you spend less time rewriting and more time reviewing — saving minutes per consult.
✏️ Example: A Clinician Prompt Using HOPC
This is a personalised prompt used by a GP working in Medtech Evolution in New Zealand:
Use the HOPC format to structure this note.
Only include what is said in the transcript or contextual notes. Leave blank if nothing is mentioned.
Use the following headings:
HISTORY OF PRESENTING COMPLAINT
[Describe symptoms, duration, severity, and relevant context.]
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY
[List chronic conditions, medications, or previous diagnoses.]
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION
[Include clinical observations or findings.]
IMPRESSION
[Summarise the clinical reasoning or working diagnosis.]
PLAN
[Note actions discussed — referrals, treatment, follow-up.]
💡 Want to Write Your Own?
Yes, you can. We encourage clinicians to:
-
Modify structure (e.g. SOAP, APSO, HOPC)
-
Set tone (formal, conversational, bullet point)
-
Add discipline-specific language (e.g. “Client” in Psychology)
-
Include headings that reflect their workflow
Your prompt is just for you — and can be updated anytime as your needs change.
