The Concept Nr.1: Priming

Imagine you're giving a new team member a crash course on a patient's condition. The more accurately you describe what's needed, the better they can assist. "Priming" involves supplying a model with a preliminary input to steer the generated response more effectively towards the desired outcome. This initial input aims to align the model's response with the specific context or requirements of the medical query at hand. This is like laying out the patient's chart clearly before a consultation begins.

Do: Begin with a precise and detailed introduction. Example: "You are an expert in pediatric oncology providing the latest treatment options for acute lymphoblastic leukemia."

Don't: Use ambiguous starters like "Tell me about cancer treatment."

Examples:

Without priming: What treatment should I prescribe?

With priming: I have a patient with type 2 diabetes who is currently not responding to metformin. They have a history of hypertension and prefer oral medication. What treatment should I consider next?

Without priming: What should be included in my patient's care plan?

With priming: I am creating a care plan for an elderly patient recently diagnosed with early-stage Alzheimer's disease. The patient lives with family and has a history of falls. What should be included in their care plan?

The Concept Nr. 2: Divide and Conquer

Facing a multifaceted issue? Break it into smaller tasks, just like managing a patient with multiple complaints. This ensures each aspect is thoroughly addressed, improving overall management and resolution, similar to a comprehensive treatment plan.

Do: Divide complex medical issues into simpler tasks and address them sequentially. Example:

Discuss the psychological effects of chronic pain.

Review non-drug management strategies.

Summarize the available pharmacological treatment strategies"

Don't: Attempt to cover multiple complex aspects in one go.

The Concept Nr. 3: Speed vs Details

In an ER, you need quick answers; in a research setting, you might delve deeper. Indicate whether you want a brief summary or a detailed exploration, so ChatGPT's responses match your time and detail needs, just like choosing between a quick consultation or a deep diagnostic session.

Do: Specify whether you need concise or detailed answers. Example: "Provide a brief overview of Type 2 Diabetes management," versus "Detail the comprehensive management plan for a Type 2 Diabetes patient."

Don't: Ignore the context of your need for brevity or detail in clinical explanations.

The Concept Nr. 4: Clear Structure

A well-presented case to a colleague is easier to understand and diagnose. Use this approach with ChatGPT: structure your questions clearly, use bullet points or numbers if necessary. It’s like presenting a patient's history, symptoms, and lab results in an organized manner.

Do: Structure your prompt clearly, using bullet points or numbers when necessary. Use other symbols to highlight important sections or separate context from your questions to the AI. Examples: Example:

Identify signs of dehydration in infants. List first-line treatments. Describe when to escalate care."

Background: 55-year-old male presenting with chest pain and shortness of breath. Symptoms: Started 2 hours ago, sharp, radiating to the left arm. History: Smoker, hypertensive, no previous cardiac history. #Task: Provide me with differential diagnoses.

Don't: Jumble different elements of your request into an indistinct paragraph.

The Concept Nr. 5: Leaning on Authorities

Just as you refer to textbooks or guidelines, ask ChatGPT to base answers on recognized sources or specify which guidelines you’re following. It ensures the advice aligns with professional standards, akin to citing a medical authority in a clinical discussion.

Do: Request that responses be based on or aligned with authoritative medical sources. Example: "Based on the latest CDC guidelines, suggest treatment for Lyme disease."

Don't: Neglect to mention when specific source adherence is necessary for clinical guidelines.

The Concept Nr. 6: Chain of Though Prompting

This approach is a method to instruct ChatGPT to delineate its answers through a logical, step-by-step explanation of its reasoning process. Employing this technique can make the model's responses more transparent and comprehensible, significantly enhancing the value of its explanations for clinical education, patient care, or decision-making processes

Prompt Formula: • [Your clinical question]. Let's reason through this systematically.

Examples:

"What is the likely diagnosis for a patient presenting with sudden chest pain, shortness of breath, and dizziness? Let's reason through this systematically."

"How would you manage acute asthma exacerbation in a child? Let's reason through this systematically."

Do: Ask ChatGPT to explore different diagnostic or treatment options. Example: "Consider three different management strategies for advanced prostate cancer."

Don't: Rush to a single solution without considering alternative medical opinions.

The Concept Nr. 7: Comparative Prompting

This method emphasizes identifying and contrasting critical aspects between two subjects, aiding in more informed clinical decision-making and a deeper comprehension of each option's advantages and limitations.

Prompt Formula:

Please conduct a comparative analysis of the following medical topics. Organize the similarities, differences, clinical features, evidence-based outcomes, utility, implications, main conclusions, and other relevant factors into a comprehensive table. Here are the two subjects for comparison: [medical subject 1] and [medical subject 2].

Examples: • Comparative effectiveness and side effects of Metformin versus SGLT2 inhibitors in the management of type 2 diabetes. • Surgical intervention versus conservative management for acute appendicitis.

The Concept Nr. 8: Perspective Prompting

This method enhances your comprehension and offers a broader view of medical subjects, aiding in more informed decision-making and a deeper understanding of intricate healthcare matters.

Prompt Formula:

Singular Perspective: Please analyze [medical issue] from the perspective of [specific medical role].

Ascend to the zenith of generative AI expertise with this comprehensive exploration.

Here, we not only guide you through elaborate strategies and applications, but also deepen your understanding of the AI's operational mechanics. This enhanced comprehension will not only empower you to extract even more detailed, precise responses, but will help you develop an intuitive sense of how to communicate with generative AI more effectively, ensuring your interactions lead to the desired outcomes.

The Concept Nr. 1: Memory capacity

Unlike traditional search tools, ChatGPT has the distinctive ability to remember details from earlier interactions. This capability ensures that subsequent queries can be enhanced by the context and details provided in earlier parts of the conversation, making it especially valuable for medical professionals who deal with complex and multifaceted information. This feature allows ChatGPT to grasp nuanced medical contexts and patient information over the course of a conversation.

For example, consider a conversation where you initially discuss a patient's symptoms and history:

Initial Prompt: "I have a patient presenting with shortness of breath, cough, and recent weight loss."

Follow-up Prompt: "Given this history, what should be the differential diagnosis?"

As the conversation progresses, you can leverage ChatGPT's memory to refine and expand upon initial information:

Further Detailed Prompt: "Considering the patient is a 70-year-old smoker with a history of COPD, update the differential diagnosis including potential oncological considerations."

Continued Interaction: "Based on the updated diagnosis list, suggest a prioritized plan for diagnostic tests."

In these examples, each prompt builds upon the information provided earlier. ChatGPT's memory feature allows it to understand the patient's case progressively, leading to more nuanced and targeted medical advice as the conversation unfolds. This sequential detail addition enables medical professionals to navigate complex patient cases effectively, making informed decisions based on cumulative information.

The Concept Nr. 2: Shot Prompting

Just as medical training uses case studies to teach complex concepts, you can give specific examples to guide ChatGPT.

Just as medical training uses case studies to teach complex concepts, you can give specific examples to guide ChatGPT. This approach involves presenting a small number of detailed scenarios to help the model understand and generate the desired type of response. This concept is analogous to the methods used in AI communication, specifically with ChatGPT, through what's known as "shot prompting."

Understanding these can help tailor your queries for more effective responses:

Zero-Shot Prompting

This approach involves posing a question or request without providing any background information or context. Essentially, you're asking ChatGPT to respond based only on its general knowledge and training. For doctors, this is like asking for a generic treatment plan without specifying any patient details.

One-Shot Prompting

In this method, you provide a single piece of information or context before making your request. This could be a specific patient condition, a set of symptoms, or a particular medical concern. It's akin to presenting one patient case to guide the response, helping the AI understand the direction or scope of your inquiry.

Few-Shot Prompting

This involves providing multiple pieces of information, cases, or guidelines before asking your question. By supplying several contexts or examples, you're giving the AI a broader framework to understand and respond to your query. For medical professionals, this might mean offering details from several patient cases or referencing multiple guidelines to inform the management plan being requested.

Examples:

Zero Shot: “Suggest a management plan for hypertension.”

One Shot: “Using this example as reference, suggest a management plan for hypertension.”

Few Shot: ““Using these Example 1, 2, 3 as reference, develop a detailed hypertension management plan. Include medication adjustments, lifestyle changes, and necessary follow-up tests.”

Do: Present structured, specific examples to shape the model's output. Example: "I'm drafting a treatment plan for a new condition. Here are three treatment plans I've written before: [Treatment Plan 1], [Treatment Plan 2], [Treatment Plan 3]. Use these as a model to create a new plan for chronic fatigue syndrome."

Don't: Request help without context or examples. Ineffective approach: "Write a treatment plan for chronic fatigue syndrome."

The Concept Nr. 3: Ask before Answer Prompting

This strategy guides ChatGPT to seek additional details before providing a response, ensuring the information given is as precise and relevant as possible. This approach is particularly useful in the medical field, where clarity and specificity are crucial for accurate diagnosis, treatment planning, and patient care.

Prompt Formula:

As a medical professional with expertise in [medical field], you will be asked to address specific clinical scenarios or tasks. Before responding, please ensure you fully understand the query or situation. If there is any ambiguity or if you need more details to provide the most accurate advice, please ask for clarification using bullet-pointed questions. Is this approach clear to you?

Excellent, my inquiry is [specific medical question]. Your task is to [specific medical task]. Please list any clarifying questions you might have to ensure the completeness and accuracy of your subsequent advice.

Examples:

Excellent, my inquiry is about managing uncontrolled type 2 diabetes in an elderly patient. Your task is to develop a comprehensive management plan tailored to this patient. Please list any clarifying questions you might have to ensure the plan is appropriately detailed and personalized before you finalize your recommendations.

Excellent, my inquiry is about the differential diagnosis for a patient presenting with acute abdominal pain and recurrent nausea. Your task is to outline the possible conditions and suggest a diagnostic pathway. Please ask any clarifying questions to ensure a thorough and accurate approach before you proceed with your task.

The Concept Nr. 4: Constructive Feedback

This approach allows for objective and specialized feedback on your medical content, identifying areas for improvement and offering constructive critique to refine and elevate your medical documentation or communication strategies.

Prompt Formula:

I request you to function as a seasoned expert and critic in the field of [medical specialty]. Evaluate my content provided below, explain why it may not meet professional standards, and offer constructive feedback on how it can be improved. For additional context, my [medical document or service] is intended for [specific patient group, medical staff, or situation]. The aim of my [medical document or service] is to [objective of the content]. Please analyze each section of the content methodically. Below is the content I need reviewed: [your medical content].

Examples:

I request you to act as an authority and critic in the field of medical education. Review the following lecture script, point out any inaccuracies or areas lacking clarity, and suggest how it could be made more effective. For context, this lecture is designed for first-year medical students, focusing on cardiovascular diseases. The aim of the lecture is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the diseases and prepare students for clinical rotations. Please dissect the content systematically. Here is the lecture content for critique: "In today’s session, we will delve into the world of cardiovascular diseases, which are the leading cause of death globally. We will explore various conditions, their etiology, and management strategies, with a focus on preventive measures and the impact of lifestyle choices on heart health."

Or conversely, after an initial answer, dig deeper, like a post-operative review. Query, "What other factors could be at play?" to ensure all bases are covered. This mirrors the thorough review process in medical practice, ensuring no stone is left unturned.

Do: After receiving an initial answer, probe further. Example: "What are potential side effects of this treatment?" or "How can this be adapted for a patient with multiple comorbidities?" or “Have you missed anything?”

Don't: Accept the first answer without seeking additional depth or clarification.

The Universal Frameworks

Presented below are a set of general prompt frameworks designed to be applicable to all scenarios while still generating detailed and effective outputs.

By providing the following frameworks, these prompts enable ChatGPT to produce more helpful and accurateresponses on a consistent basis.

The Blueprint Nr. 1: RGC (Role, Result, Goal, Context)

This framework presents a robust structure that can be applied universally to any input and intended output. Its objective is to establish a standardized format that optimizes the framing for ChatGPT and thereby enhances its performance across a broad spectrum of inputs.

Prompt Formula:

Role - ChatGPT’s medical perspective (You are a board-certified endocrinologist)

Result - Desired clinical output (Develop a treatment plan for type 2 diabetes)

Goal - Purpose of the clinical output (The goal is to achieve glycemic control and reduce HbA1c)

Context - Patient details, setting, specific conditions (The plan is for a 60-year-old male patient with a history of obesity and hypertension, managing medications remotely)

Constraint - Clinical guidelines, patient preferences (The plan should consider ADA guidelines, avoid sulfonylureas due to the patient’s hypoglycemia risk, and incorporate dietary recommendations)

Examples:

You are an expert [medical role]. Develop [clinical result]. The goal is [clinical end goal]. The plan is for [patient context]. Your guidelines for treatment are [clinical constraints].

You are a board-certified cardiologist. Create a comprehensive management plan for heart failure. The goal is to improve the patient's cardiac function and quality of life. The plan is for an 80-year-old female with chronic kidney disease and diabetes. The management should align with the latest ACC/AHA guidelines and be adjusted for renal impairment.

You are an expert pediatrician. Develop a vaccination schedule for a newborn. The goal is to adhere to CDC guidelines while considering the infant's premature birth status. The schedule is for a preterm newborn, accounting for delayed immunization initiation. Include considerations for catch-up vaccinations and parental concerns about vaccine spacing.

The Blueprint Nr. 2: “I Want You To Act As”

This model provides a versatile framework that can be applied across various medical inquiries, aiming to refine the interaction format for ChatGPT, thus improving its effectiveness and relevance in diverse healthcare settings.

Prompt Formula:

“I want you to act as a…” (medical specialist, healthcare provider, etc.) This sets the stage for ChatGPT’s medical role.

“I will provide you with…” (patient history, specific symptoms, lab results, etc.) This defines the context and specifics of the medical scenario.

“You will then…” (formulate a diagnosis, suggest a treatment plan, offer patient education, etc.)

“The critical details are…” (patient age, medical history, current medications, etc.) Ensure all vital information is included and clarify specifics from point 2.

Adjust your response as necessary: “Use simpler language,” “Highlight key management steps,” “Format the information as a checklist.”

Examples:

I want you to act as a dermatologist. I will provide details of a skin condition that my patient is experiencing, including symptoms and photographs. You will then diagnose the condition and suggest a comprehensive treatment plan. Use a patient-friendly approach to explain the condition and treatment. The critical details are a 30-year-old female with itchy, red patches on her elbows and knees, worsening over the last two months.

I want you to act as an oncologist. I will give you the patient's medical history, current symptoms, and recent biopsy results. You will then develop a tailored cancer treatment protocol. Utilize a compassionate yet straightforward style. The critical details are a 55-year-old male diagnosed with stage IIIB non-small cell lung cancer.

I want you to act as a pediatrician. I will present a case involving a child's developmental milestones and parental concerns. You will then provide an assessment and guidance for the parents. Communicate in a nurturing and informative manner. The critical details are a 2-year-old who is not yet using two-word sentences and avoids eye contact.

Use responsibly!

Instructions:

Copy-paste the below text and follow the AI’s instructions to create your own, new prompt for your desired purpose:

You are my prompt engineer.

The goal is to create the best possible prompt for me, tailored to my needs. You (ChatGPT) will later use this prompt to generate a response.

To do this you will carry out the following steps:

Step 1: You will ask me what the prompt should be about. I'll give you my answer, but we'll improve my answers and the suggested prompt through continuous iteration in step 2.

Step 2: Based on my input, create 3 sections: a) Revised Prompt (you write your revised prompt. It should be clear, concise and easy for you to understand), b) Suggestions (you suggest what details should be included in the prompt to improve it), and c) Questions (you ask relevant questions about additional information I need to improve the prompt).

Note: The prompt you provided should be in the form of a request from me to be executed by ChatGPT. We will continue this iterative process as I provide you with additional information and you update the prompt in the Revised Prompt section until it is complete.
