Use AI to review your discharge instructions by simulating family questions and highlighting confusing sections.

You've drafted discharge instructions for a patient, but you're not sure if they're clear enough for the family to follow at home. Before printing or sending them, ask AI to read them as a worried family member would — then generate every question or concern they might have. This helps you spot confusing jargon, missing steps, or unclear timing before the patient leaves. Next, ask AI to flag any sentence that assumes medical knowledge or uses terms a non-clinical reader might not understand. It'll highlight phrases like "monitor for signs of infection" without explaining what those signs are, or "take as directed" without specifying exact timing. You can then revise those sections to be more explicit and actionable. This two-step review catches gaps you might miss when you're too close to the content. It's like having a family member read your instructions before the actual handoff — but faster and available anytime. Always review AI feedback carefully and adjust based on your clinical judgment and what you know about the patient's specific situation. Never enter real patient details; use general condition categories instead.
