01
Gather the move facts
Walk the route when conditions allow, assess the patient, and record only the details that could change the route, equipment, staffing, or carry method.

Build a practical movement plan for stairs, tight rooms, uneven ground, crowds, and other difficult access conditions.
We'll use them to write your prompt.

Make Your Play
Give us the situation. We’ll build the prompt.
Reduce confusion before a difficult patient move by matching the route, carry method, equipment, crew positions, commands, and backup plan to the scene.
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
Resolve the critical gaps
Use the AI assistant's questions to identify missing facts that could make the proposed move unsafe or impractical.
03
Build the move plan
Generate the route, carry method, equipment staging, crew positions, communication calls, stop conditions, and backup option.
04
Run the crew brief
Turn the plan into a short spoken check before anyone lifts or rolls the patient.

Plan Equipment Placement for a Difficult Patient Move
Tell us what the prompt needs to know
Start with the questions below. Each answer personalizes the playbook and builds the prompt you’ll use at the end.
Your situation
Describe the path from the patient to the destination, including stairs, turns, doors, thresholds, slopes, surfaces, lighting, crowds, and possible rest points.
0/10000
Describe relevant condition, mobility, position restrictions, approximate weight range, monitoring needs, attached lines, pain, behavior, and ability to follow directions without including identifying details.
0/10000
List the number of available crew members, current care roles, and any additional trained help that can be requested.
List the movement, securing, monitoring, oxygen, and communication equipment available at the scene.
0/10000
List hazards that could affect footing, clearance, patient condition, equipment control, communication, or public safety.
0/10000
State where the patient needs to go and any placement or access limits at that destination.
Select the urgency that best matches the current situation under local protocol and clinical judgment.

Assembled prompt
Beginner instructions
Walk the route before using the prompt when the scene allows it. Describe what is physically present rather than guessing measurements. Use role labels instead of names, and leave out patient identifiers.
Read the result as a draft with the crew lead. Local protocol, scene command, clinical judgment, and device instructions take priority.
Advanced instructions
Include load limits, changes in elevation, device clearance, line management, monitoring needs, patient position restrictions, and exact transition points when known. Test the draft against the weakest point in the route and the smallest safe crew configuration.
Before moving, run the briefing aloud and require each assigned position to confirm the route, command, stop call, and backup action.
Use this when
You need to move a patient through stairs, a narrow room, uneven ground, a crowded area, or another route where poor placement or unclear roles could create risk.
You'll need
- Scene and route
- Patient needs
- Available crew
- Available equipment
- Main hazards
- Move destination
- Move urgency
You'll get
- Primary and backup routes identified
- Carry method checked against patient and scene needs
- Equipment staged at clear locations
- Crew positions and commands assigned
- Stop conditions and safe pause points named
- Pre-move and post-move reassessments included
By the end of this playbook
You will have:
