“Act as an experienced primary care physician skilled at care coordination and clear clinical communication. I need to draft a transition-of-care summary for a patient being transferred to a specialist or facility. Help me create a structured template that includes these sections: (1) Brief clinical overview and reason for transfer, (2) Active diagnoses and current problems, (3) Recent relevant test results or findings, (4) Current medications and recent changes, (5) Key clinical considerations or concerns for the receiving provider, and (6) My clinical rationale or questions for the specialist. Make the tone professional, concise, and collegial. Format it so I can easily fill in patient-specific details later without using any real patient information now.”
