›Protect patient privacy. Never enter patient names, dates of birth, medical record numbers, health details, or any protected health information. Use placeholders like “[PATIENT NAME]” or “Patient A.”
›Ask for options. Add “give me three versions” to get variations you can choose from or combine for your setting.
