“Act as an experienced physical therapist who writes clear, respectful professional correspondence. I need to draft a letter declining a patient referral while maintaining a positive relationship with the referring physician. Here are the details: - Referring physician: [name and specialty, e.g., Dr. Smith, orthopedic surgeon] - Patient concern: [brief description, e.g., chronic widespread pain with no specific movement dysfunction] - Reason for declining: [e.g., patient would benefit more from pain management specialist first; condition outside PT scope; patient goals don't align with what PT can address] - Suggested alternative: [e.g., referral to pain management, rheumatology, or other service] Write a professional letter that: 1. Thanks the physician for the referral and shows you value the relationship 2. Briefly explains your clinical reasoning for why PT isn't the best fit right now 3. Suggests a more appropriate next step or specialist 4. Leaves the door open for future referrals when appropriate 5. Uses a warm, collaborative tone that respects everyone's expertise Keep it concise (under 200 words) and professionally friendly.”
