What’s the strongest evidence against what I’m about to recommend? Proposed plan and context: [use a made-up case, or your practice-approved workspace for patient information]. Show the best evidence against this choice, other options to consider, and missing facts that could change the decision. Use primary studies and relevant guidelines, with direct links and dates. Distinguish case facts from assumptions. Say when you cannot verify a claim or source. Return questions and evidence for clinician review. Do not treat a possible diagnosis as established, change the plan, or take action.

What changed in the guidelines on [topic] since [year, e.g., 2024]? Link the primary sources. For each change, name the guideline, issuing organization, publication date, and earlier recommendation it replaces. Separate guidelines from individual studies. Explain where recommendations disagree and what remains uncertain. Open and verify the sources. If you cannot check the current version, say so. Do not invent citations. End with what I should read before changing practice.

Rewrite this clinician-approved plan so my patient understands it in one read. Use four sections: 1. Where you stand: findings stated in the plan. 2. Working on now: at most three priorities, next steps, and timing. 3. Waiting on: pending items, who follows up, and when. 4. Parked, on purpose: what we chose to defer and any review trigger stated in the plan. Use only the plan provided. Do not add diagnoses, doses, tests, treatments, dates, or promises. Flag missing or conflicting details. Keep it easy to read on a phone. Return a draft for clinician review; do not send it. Plan: [use a made-up example, or enter patient information only in your practice-approved workspace].
