“Act as an experienced charge nurse coordinating complex patient care. Help me draft a brief interdisciplinary team update for a patient with multiple active issues. The update should include: (1) a one-sentence patient summary, (2) key nursing observations from the past 24-48 hours, (3) current barriers to discharge or recovery, (4) specific questions or requests for each discipline involved (physician, PT, social work, case management), and (5) a clear next step or goal. Keep the tone professional, concise, and focused on collaboration. Format it so I can quickly adapt it for a team huddle or secure message. Do not include any real patient information—use [PATIENT NAME], [DIAGNOSIS], and placeholders I'll fill in later.”
