Assembled prompt
Beginner instructions
Describe the visit in general terms and leave out names, birth dates, record numbers, and other identifying details. List only choices that are genuinely available in the practice. Run the prompt, then read the script aloud once and change any wording that doesn’t sound natural in your voice.
Advanced instructions
Adjust the sequence and available choices to match the room setup and practice protocol. Keep the final version short enough to deliver without delaying care, and replace any wording that could sound like a treatment promise.
