This page brings together practical examples of how AI can support day-to-day clinical work. Whether you’re exploring early use cases or supporting teams already deploying AI, these prompts and guides are designed to help you move forward with confidence.
Prompts for clinicians
Clinicians spend significant time searching for evidence, reconciling guidelines, and documenting care—time that could be spent with patients. ChatGPT for Healthcare is a secure workspace built for hospital providers and designed for HIPAA-compliant use, providing cited answers from trusted medical sources.
It can support tasks like drafting clinical documentation, preparing prior authorizations, and summarizing patient information—helping reduce administrative overhead and improve focus on care.
The prompt templates below illustrate how clinicians can use ChatGPT for Healthcare in common workflows.
Use caseExample promptPrompt template Choosing the right diagnostic tests I am a hospitalist seeing a 62-year-old man with diabetes and chronic kidney disease who presents to the emergency department with fever, shortness of breath, and new confusion.
Based on this presentation, outline a focused diagnostic workup and test selection, including labs, imaging, and microbiology, to evaluate for sepsis and possible pneumonia, and explain how the results would guide initial management in an acute care hospital setting. I am a [clinical role, e.g., hospitalist, emergency physician, ICU fellow, NP, PA] caring for a [age]-year-old [gender] patient with [key past medical conditions] who presents with [chief complaint(s)] and [key acute symptoms or signs] in a [care setting, e.g., emergency department, ICU].
Based on this presentation, provide a focused diagnostic workup and test selection using [diagnostic methods, e.g., labs, imaging, microbiology] to evaluate for [suspected condition(s), e.g., sepsis, pneumonia, PE, stroke], and explain how the results would guide [initial management, triage, or treatment decisions] in a [clinical setting]. Working through the differential I am a clinician conducting a routine clinical assessment of a 28-year-old woman presenting with unilateral knee discomfort, intermittent calf tightness, and chest wall soreness after recent prolonged travel and increased physical activity.
Generate a prioritized differential diagnosis and explain how patellofemoral pain syndrome can be distinguished from muscle strain, costochondritis, and stress-related symptoms using history, physical examination, and basic diagnostic evaluation. I am a [clinical role, e.g., emergency physician, hospitalist, urgent care PA] evaluating a [age]-year-old [gender] with [chief complaint] and [key symptoms or exam findings] in the [care setting].

Use caseExample promptPrompt template Choosing the right diagnostic tests I am a hospitalist seeing a 62-year-old man with diabetes and chronic kidney disease who presents to the emergency department with fever, shortness of breath, and new confusion.
Generate a prioritized differential diagnosis for this presentation. For each diagnosis, explain what features of the history, exam, or initial tests would support or argue against it.
Then explain how to distinguish [primary suspected condition] from [alternative diagnosis #1], [alternative diagnosis #2], and [alternative diagnosis #3] using bedside evaluation, labs, and imaging. Putting together a plan I am a hospitalist managing a 74-year-old woman admitted with decompensated heart failure and worsening kidney function. Provide a problem-based assessment and plan covering volume management, medication adjustments, and discharge planning. I am a [clinical role, e.g., hospitalist, ICU attending, NP, PA] managing a [age]-year-old [gender] admitted with [primary diagnosis] and [key complicating problems].
Create a problem-based assessment and plan that includes:
The pathophysiology driving each active problem
Diagnostics to trend or follow
Therapeutic plan (medications, fluids, procedures, monitoring)
Disposition and discharge planning
Highlight how [comorbidity or complication] affects management and what would trigger escalation or de-escalation of care. Documenting the patient encounter I am a pediatrician seeing a 3-year-old boy with fever, cough, and wheezing. Write a concise but thorough clinical note for suspected viral bronchiolitis, including history, exam, assessment, and plan.
Format it the way it would appear in a real chart. I am a [clinical role, e.g., pediatrician, family medicine physician, resident] seeing a [age]-year-old [gender] with [chief complaint] and [key symptoms] in the [clinic / ED / hospital].
Write a concise but thorough clinical note including:
History of present illness
Relevant past history and medications
Focused physical exam
Assessment with differential
Plan (diagnostics, treatment, and follow-up)
Format it the way it would appear in a real chart. Counseling the patient and setting next steps I am an endocrinologist counseling a 60-year-old woman newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Write patient-friendly after-visit instructions covering medications, diet, glucose monitoring, and when to seek care. I am a [clinical role, e.g., endocrinologist, primary care physician, nurse practitioner] counseling a [age]-year-old [gender] with [diagnosis].
Write patient-friendly after-visit instructions that explain:
What the condition means
How [medications] should be taken
Key diet, lifestyle, and monitoring recommendations
Red-flag symptoms that should prompt urgent care
Use clear, non-technical language appropriate for a [health-literacy level] patient. Safely transitioning care I am a hospital discharge planner coordinating care for a 72-year-old woman recovering from a hip fracture. Outline how you would communicate key issues to home health, physical therapy, and the primary care physician. I am a [clinical role, e.g., hospital discharge planner, hospitalist, case manager] coordinating care for a [age]-year-old [gender] being discharged after [hospitalization or condition].
Outline the key information that must be communicated to:
[receiving provider, e.g., primary care physician]
[home health or rehab service]
[specialist, if applicable]
Include active problems, medications, pending tests, functional status, and follow-up needs, formatted as a clear handoff summary. Checking against the evidence I am a cardiologist reviewing care for a 65-year-old man with new-onset atrial fibrillation.

At his most recent visit, he reported memory decline, including losing his phone, and has become more irritable. His functional status in daily activities is mostly preserved. Should these symptoms raise suspicion for dementia, or are they more consistent with normal age-related cognitive changes? Provide a differential diagnosis and explain why it’s likely or not. I am a [clinical role/specialty, e.g., neurologist, geriatrician, PCP] following a [age]-year-old [gender] patient who had [index neurologic event/condition, e.g., ischemic stroke/TIA/ICH] [timeframe, e.g., 2 years] ago with [degree of residual deficits, e.g., minimal residual deficits / moderate aphasia / mild hemiparesis].
At [his/her/their] most recent visit, [he/she/they] reported [cognitive concern, e.g., memory decline], including [example, e.g., losing phone/missed appointments/repeating questions], and has become [behavior or mood change, e.g., more irritable / apathetic / anxious]. [His/her/their] functional status in daily activities is [mostly preserved / mildly impaired / declining]. Should these symptoms raise suspicion for [condition, e.g., dementia / vascular cognitive impairment / Alzheimer’s disease], or are they more consistent with [normal age-related cognitive changes]? Provide a differential diagnosis and explain why it’s likely or not. Using your system to guide care Summarize the recommended initial evaluation for new cognitive concerns in an older adult with prior ischemic stroke.
