Copy-paste EHR templates for documenting AI in the encounter. Replace bracketed items [***] with specifics, save each as a smart phrase, and adjust the language to your style.
Core templates
Assessment confirmed .AIOK
AI was accurate and your exam confirms it.
Patient reports pre-visit AI consultation ([ChatGPT/Google/other]) regarding [chief complaint]. AI suggested [diagnosis]. Physical examination confirms this assessment, with findings including [specific physical findings not available to AI]. Patient educated that the AI assessment was accurate here; discussed the value of examination for confirmation and the limits of remote AI assessment.
Partially confirmed .AIPARTIAL
On the right track but incomplete.
Patient reports AI consultation suggesting [AI assessment]. Clinical evaluation partially supports this; additional findings of [specific findings] indicate [refined diagnosis]. AI assessment was reasonable but incomplete due to [limitation]. Patient educated on AI limits regarding [limitation]. Plan reflects integrated clinical assessment extending beyond AI-sourced information.
Assessment corrected .AICORRECT
AI was wrong; different diagnosis.
Patient reports AI consultation suggesting [AI diagnosis]. Physical examination reveals [findings inconsistent with AI], specifically [detailed findings]. AI did not account for [physical findings/individual characteristics]. Correct diagnosis: [your diagnosis]. Patient educated on the limits of AI for [type of assessment]. Discussed importance of in-person evaluation when [scenario]. Patient verbalized understanding.
AI-influenced delay .AIDELAY
AI reassurance delayed appropriate care.
Patient reports [X]-day delay in presentation based on AI reassurance that symptoms were likely [AI assessment]. On examination, findings consistent with [actual diagnosis] including [findings]. AI assessment was inadequate due to [limitation, e.g., inability to assess vital signs or evolution over time]. Patient counseled on AI limits and appropriate thresholds for in-person evaluation regardless of AI guidance. Provided return precautions and red flags for this diagnosis.
Medication change .AIMED
Patient modified medication on AI information.
Patient reports [starting/stopping/adjusting] [medication] based on AI information regarding [topic]. AI provided [general information] that was [accurate/inaccurate] at population level but [appropriate/inappropriate] for this patient given [renal function, interactions, comorbidities]. [Clinical consequences if any]. Patient counseled that medication changes require individualized assessment and should be discussed with the prescribing physician before modification. Patient verbalized understanding.
AI-related harm .AIHARM
AI guidance led to harm requiring intervention.
Patient presents with [condition] related to [action taken/not taken] based on AI guidance. Timeline: [X] ago, patient consulted AI regarding [concern]; AI advised [recommendation]; patient followed it, resulting in [consequence]. Current presentation: [findings/severity]. Assessment: [diagnosis]. AI guidance was inappropriate because [limitation]. Plan: [treatment]. Patient counseled on the relevant AI limitation and when to seek immediate care regardless of AI guidance.
Discussed, no concerns .AINONE
AI use discussed per routine. Patient denies AI consultation for current symptoms. Standard education provided regarding appropriate AI use and the importance of in-person evaluation for concerning symptoms.
Specialty addenda
Pediatrics
Parent reported concern that "something is different" despite AI reassurance that [symptoms] were [AI assessment]. Examination reveals [findings]. Parental instinct was [validated/appropriate to investigate]. Discussed that a parent's observation of subtle changes represents accumulated baseline knowledge AI cannot assess remotely. Parental concern alone is sufficient reason for evaluation.
Emergency medicine
Patient presented [X] after symptom onset. Reports initial AI consultation suggesting [assessment] and recommending [monitoring/home treatment]. ED evaluation reveals [findings requiring intervention]. Time-sensitive diagnosis: [diagnosis]. AI triage was inappropriate due to inability to assess [vital signs/severity/trajectory]. Patient educated on emergency red flags requiring immediate evaluation regardless of AI guidance.
Chronic disease management
Patient with [condition] reports using AI for guidance regarding [question]. AI provided population-level information. Discussed that management requires individualization based on [current organ function, interactions, trajectory, prior response]. Guidelines apply to the average patient; plan customized to this patient's [factors]. Reinforced importance of discussing changes before implementation.
