PromptOpen ChatGPTOpen Claude
Create a copy-paste prompt pack for a registered dietitian working in [PRACTICE SETTING].

Primary clients and goals: [CLIENT POPULATION]
Common work tasks: [COMMON TASKS]
Clinical and organizational boundaries: [SCOPE AND POLICIES]
Preferred voice and reading level: [VOICE AND READING LEVEL]
Documentation system or format: [DOCUMENTATION FORMAT]

Produce 8 distinct prompts, each 110 to 170 words, for the most useful tasks in my setting. Include at least one prompt for: client education; a culturally respectful meal or snack idea set; a follow-up message or visit agenda; documentation drafting from supplied notes; and professional communication with a referral source or care team. Select the remaining prompts from my stated common tasks.

Every prompt must have its own bracketed inputs, tell the AI exactly what it should produce, and state that it must ask up to 3 clarifying questions only if a required input is missing. Build safety into the task: the AI must not diagnose, prescribe, calculate a therapeutic regimen without clinician review, replace emergency advice, or invent clinical findings. For any client-facing clinical content, require a brief escalation note for red-flag symptoms or situations that need the client’s care team.

Add a one-line "Use for" label above each prompt and a short "Check before using" line below it. Make the checks specific: unsupported claims, allergens, medication-food interactions, renal or diabetes restrictions when relevant, cultural fit, health literacy, privacy, and alignment with my supplied plan. Do not include protected health information in examples or prompts. Before answering, confirm that every prompt stays within a dietitian’s stated scope and distinguishes a draft from individualized medical advice.

Use only the approved facts; do not diagnose, promise outcomes, or give individualized therapeutic targets not supplied. Flag any claim needing clinical verification, allergen check, or medication-food interaction review. Ask up to 3 questions only if a required input is missing.

ADIME note draft

Use this after a visit to organize de-identified notes into a clinician-reviewed draft.

Variation
Turn these de-identified visit notes into an ADIME draft.

Do not invent labs, weights, intake, diagnoses, counseling, or goals. Mark missing elements as "not documented" and list questions needed for completion. Before answering, check that each PES component is supported by the notes and that no identifiers are present. Ask up to 3 clarifying questions only if the documentation format or notes are incomplete.

Flag any symptom or finding that should be escalated under [CLINIC POLICY]. Ask up to 3 questions only if a required clinical fact is missing.

Tips

  • Remove names, dates of birth, record numbers, addresses, and distinctive life details before placing notes in any AI tool.
  • Treat a generated PES statement as a draft: confirm the problem, etiology, and signs or symptoms are all documented and linked.
  • For education materials, check food examples against the client’s access, culture, cooking equipment, allergies, and stated preferences.
  • Keep red-flag escalation language consistent with your clinic protocol instead of letting a model create emergency instructions from scratch.

FAQ

Can I paste client notes into an AI prompt?

Use only a tool approved by your organization and follow its privacy policy. De-identify inputs unless your organization has expressly authorized a compliant workflow.

Can AI create meal plans for clients?

It can draft ideas, but individualized therapeutic plans require your professional review and the client’s clinical context.

Can I use AI-generated chart notes as final documentation?

No. Check the draft against the encounter and your documentation standards, then edit and sign it yourself.
