Use AI to draft a clear return-to-work letter for employers when patients resume job duties after injury.
When your patient is ready to return to work, employers and HR departments often need a formal letter outlining restrictions, cleared activities, and readiness status. Writing these from scratch takes time and they need to be precise, professional, and easy for non-clinical readers to understand. Use this prompt to quickly draft a structured return-to-work letter that you can review, customize with real patient details offline, and finalize. Always verify the content matches your clinical assessment and never include actual patient information in the AI tool.

“Act as an experienced physical therapist writing professional return-to-work documentation. Draft a return-to-work letter template for an employer that includes these sections: 1) a brief statement confirming the employee has completed physical therapy and is cleared to return to work, 2) a list of any work restrictions or modifications needed (use placeholders like '[specific lifting limit]' and '[specific activity restriction]'), 3) a list of activities the employee is fully cleared to perform, 4) recommended timeline for re-evaluation if restrictions apply, and 5) an offer to discuss accommodation questions with the employer. Use clear, professional language that a non-medical HR manager can easily understand. Keep the tone supportive and collaborative. Format it as a business letter ready to print on clinic letterhead.”
