Prompt Generator Tool: Streamline Your Clinical AI Documentation
by PedsCoffee
Introducing the Clinical Prompt Generator
Transform your AI scribe output with customized prompts—no technical expertise required.
Making AI Documentation Accessible
Large language models (LLMs) represent a fundamental shift in healthcare technology adoption. Unlike previous generations of software that required extensive training and rigid workflows, LLMs respond to natural language instructions and provide immediate, contextual feedback.
This accessibility transforms how physicians can approach clinical documentation automation. Rather than learning complex command structures or programming languages, you can simply describe what you need in plain language.
The Prompt Generator Tool
Our new Prompt Generator simplifies the process of creating effective clinical prompts through an intuitive interface:
How It Works
- Select your preferences from the menus
- Preview the generated prompt with your specifications incorporated
- Make it your own by adding few shot examples from your specialty and your most common dot phrases as boilerplate text
- Test and refine by making small changes until you’re consistently happy with the results
Key Features
- Based on proven prompts for common documentation scenarios
- Customizable few-shot examples that define your output style
- Character count optimization for EMR compatibility (≤5,000 characters)
Customization Strategy
The power of prompt engineering lies in personalization. While our generator provides a strong foundation, optimal results come from iterating based on your specific needs:
Few-Shot Examples: Your Secret Weapon
The most critical component of any clinical prompt is the few-shot examples section. These 3-5 sample outputs teach the AI your exact preferences:
- Document structure (problem-based vs system-based)
- Language style (formal vs conversational)
- Brevity level (detailed vs concise bullets)
- Specialty terminology specific to your practice
Iteration Process
- Baseline Testing: Use the generated prompt with 5-10 routine encounters
- Pattern Recognition: Identify consistent issues or missing elements
- Example Refinement: Update few-shot examples to address gaps
- Validation: Test refined prompt on diverse encounter types
- Production Deployment: Implement once achieving >90% acceptable output
Integration with Your Workflow
The Prompt Generator complements our comprehensive documentation toolkit:
- Prompt Library: Browse validated prompts from practicing physicians
- Best Practices Guide: Deep dive into optimization techniques
- Community Contributions: Share your refined prompts with colleagues
- GitHub Discussions: Troubleshoot challenges with peers
Expected Outcomes
- Time savings: Minutes saved on each encounter
- Consistency: Standardized format across all documentation
- Reduced cognitive load: Less mental energy on documentation, more on clinical reasoning
- Billing accuracy: Improved capture of complexity and medical decision-making
Moving Forward
The goal isn’t perfection on day one—it’s continuous improvement toward documentation that requires only your review and signature. Start with the Prompt Generator, iterate based on real-world use, and share your insights with the clinical community.
Together, we’re building a future where documentation serves clinical care rather than constraining it.
