Use AI to draft patient referral letters faster by providing key patient details and referral reasons.
1. Gather all relevant patient information you want to include in the referral letter, such as diagnosis, symptoms, treatment history, and reason for referral. 2. Open ChatGPT or Claude in your browser and start a new chat. 3. Type a prompt asking the AI to draft a referral letter based on the details you collected. Be sure to mention the specialist type and the purpose of the referral. 4. Review the AI-generated draft carefully, making sure it is clear, accurate, and uses plain language suitable for the specialist. 5. Edit or add any personal notes or specifics that the AI might have missed. 6. Save the final version to your records or your clinic’s referral system. Always double-check the letter before sending and never input real patient identifiers into the AI tool.
