Use AI to quickly draft patient-friendly explanations of lab results before your phone calls.
When you're returning normal or mildly abnormal lab results by phone, you often need to explain what the numbers mean in plain language — and that takes time to think through mid-call or prepare in advance. Before your next batch of result calls, paste the lab name and values into ChatGPT and ask it to draft a short, reassuring explanation you can use as your talking points. This gives you a clear, jargon-free script in seconds, so you spend less time thinking about how to phrase things and more time connecting with your patient. Always review the explanation to ensure it's accurate and appropriate for the specific patient's context — AI helps you draft faster, but your clinical judgment guides the conversation.

“I need to call a patient about their lab results. Draft a short, reassuring explanation in plain language I can use during the call. Results: Hemoglobin A1c is 5.9%, LDL cholesterol is 115 mg/dL, and TSH is 2.3 mIU/L. Keep it under 100 words, use simple terms a non-medical person would understand, and emphasize that these are normal or well-controlled values.”
