## 🚀 Bonus: Prompt Crafting Tips for Healthcare (5 prompts)

106. **De-Identification Before Using AI**

    "CRITICAL: Always verify AI-generated clinical content against current guidelines, your clinical judgment, and institutional protocols. Use this prompt after generating any clinical document: 'Review this note for any inaccuracies, omissions, or deviations from standard of care. Highlight anything that should be verified.'"

108. **Customizing Prompts for Your Specialty**  
    "To get better results: specify your specialty, practice setting, and patient population at the start of each prompt.

    "For complex documents (like a complete H&P or discharge summary), use chain prompting: (1) Ask for an outline first, (2) Expand each section one at a time, (3) Ask for review and integration, (4) Final proofread. This yields higher quality than asking for the whole document at once."

110. **Tone Calibration**  
    "Adjust the tone of any output using: 'Rewrite this in a more [empathetic / direct / reassuring / professional / patient-friendly] tone.' The same clinical content can and should sound different for a patient vs a colleague vs an insurance company."

- **Research:** Category 3 accelerates literature reviews, journal club prep, and grant writing.

### For Administrators
- Category 4 covers policies, SOPs, staff management, and QI projects.

### For Everyone in Healthcare
- Category 5 reminds you to care for yourself too. Burnout is real — use these prompts.
