The problem
Every clinician has heard AI can help — and every clinician has rightly worried about putting patient information somewhere it shouldn’t go. The result is either paralysis or quiet, risky improvisation.
This playbook replaces both with a simple framework: what’s safe, what’s not, and exactly what to type.
What’s inside
The one rule, up front: never paste patient-identifying information into a consumer AI tool — with a clear, practical explanation of what counts and the safe ways to work around it.
Copy-ready prompts for patient handouts — turn a plain-language explanation of a condition or medication into a clean, readable handout.
Referral & letter prompts — draft referral letters, work/school notes, and patient emails in your voice, from de-identified bullet points.
Practice-admin & marketing prompts — policies, job posts, review responses, website copy, social posts.
A “de-identify first” checklist and a short note on BAAs and HIPAA-eligible tools, in plain English — so you know when the consumer rule doesn’t apply.
Who it’s for
Independent and small-practice clinicians and their staff who want AI’s time savings without the data risk.

Questions
Which AI tools does it cover?
It’s tool-agnostic — the prompts work in ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and the rest. The principles apply no matter which you use.
Is this medical or legal advice?
No. It’s practical workflow guidance. It does not tell you how to practice medicine or interpret the law — it shows you how to use a tool safely for administrative and educational tasks.
I’m not technical. Will I follow it?
Yes. It’s written for a busy clinician, not an engineer — every prompt is copy-paste, with a line on what to change.
Education only. Not legal, compliance, or HIPAA advice. You are responsible for your practice’s policies and for protecting patient information. Never enter patient-identifying data into any AI tool unless your practice has a signed Business Associate Agreement with that vendor and a policy permitting it.
