Assembled prompt
Beginner instructions
Write short factual notes under each input. Use exact times, measurements, and patient statements when known. If a detail wasn’t obtained, say “not reported” instead of guessing. Read the final script aloud once before using it.
Advanced instructions
Lead with the finding most likely to change immediate care while keeping the required order intact. Replace repeated details with trends, such as worsening work of breathing or improving oxygen saturation. Correct any wording that implies a diagnosis not established in the source notes.
