Use AI to draft a structured outline before interviewing a patient about their injury history.
When you're about to see a new patient with a complex injury history or multiple prior treatments, it helps to have a structured interview guide so you don't miss key details. Instead of creating this outline from scratch every time, use AI to draft a question framework based on the patient's chief complaint or referral diagnosis. You can paste this into your notes or keep it on a second screen during the eval. It won't replace your clinical judgment about what to dig into, but it speeds up your prep and ensures you cover all the bases—especially for diagnoses you don't see every week. Always review the questions and adjust them to fit your clinical reasoning and the specific patient context before using them.
