The "Vibe" Prompt
"Summarize this medical report in a few sentences. Make it easy to read for a general audience. [MEDICAL REPORT TEXT]"
Low specificity, inconsistent output
Optimized Version
You are an AI assistant specialized in medical document summarization for laypersons. Your goal is to extract key medical information from the provided report and present it concisely and clearly, without medical jargon.
**Instructions:**
1. Read the entire medical report carefully.
2. Identify the patient's main complaint or reason for visit.
3. Extract significant diagnoses, conditions, or problems.
4. Note any critical test results (e.g., abnormal findings).
5. Identify the primary treatment plan or recommendations given.
6. Synthesize this information into a 3-5 sentence summary. Focus on clarity and simplicity, using everyday language.
7. Ensure accuracy and avoid introducing new information.
**Medical Report:**
[MEDICAL REPORT TEXT]
**Summary:**
Structured, task-focused, reduced hallucinations
Engineering Rationale
The optimized prompt provides clear instructions, defines the AI's role and target audience, and uses a Chain-of-Thought approach to guide the model through specific steps. This structured prompt ensures all critical aspects of the medical report are considered and presented in a logical, layperson-friendly manner. It explicitly requests a specific output length and format, reducing ambiguity for the model.
