Completed ✓
Make Your Play
Give us the situation. We’ll build the prompt.
Organize the details that matter most before time pressure, noise, or stress turns a handoff into a scattered story.
Your answers save as you type.
What you'll do
This is the plan inside your prompt. Add your details first. Then follow these steps with ChatGPT or Claude.
02
Build the MIST order
Use the primary prompt to sort the facts into a spoken sequence without adding a diagnosis or filling gaps.
03
Check, trim, and rehearse
Compare every statement with the source details, then make the report fit the available handoff time without burying the most important change.

Assembled prompt
Beginner instructions
Start with rough bullet points rather than polished sentences. If a detail is unknown, say so instead of guessing. Read the result aloud once and replace any wording that feels awkward or unclear.
Advanced instructions
Include time-linked vital sign trends, the response to each major intervention, and the clearest description of what changed. Ask the AI to compress the report without removing facts that could affect immediate care.
