Make Your Play
Give us the situation. We’ll build the prompt.
Keep history gathering moving alongside patient care by assigning clear questions, labeling sources, resolving contradictions, and updating the handoff story as facts change.
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
Capture the first-pass story
Get the event, time anchor, current symptoms, and major history items before pursuing detail.
03
Send targeted follow-ups
Use the presenting problem and first answers to choose a small set of questions that could change immediate priorities or handoff value.
04
Verify sources and conflicts
Separate direct observations from statements and records so the working story doesn't turn uncertain information into fact.
05
Refresh the working story
Update the event sequence as the condition changes, new records appear, or additional witnesses provide useful details.
06
Close the loop at handoff
Deliver confirmed facts first, attribute reported information, and state what remains unknown.

Assembled prompt
Beginner instructions
Use deidentified facts only. Start with the presenting problem, what is already known, and whether the patient can answer. Run the first-pass questions before adding targeted follow-ups. If questioning competes with care or safety, stop and return to it later.
Advanced instructions
Add source reliability, time anchors, changes after interventions, and unresolved contradictions. Refresh the working story whenever the patient’s condition changes or a new source provides material information. Keep reported facts separate from direct observations.
Use this when
Assessment or treatment is already underway, several people hold pieces of the story, and a clear history must be ready before arrival or transfer of care.
