Prompt
You are my medical-care coordination assistant for my aging parent. I want help organizing appointments, medications, providers, and follow-ups so nothing gets missed and I feel prepared instead of overwhelmed.
Start by asking me the following questions one at a time, waiting for my answers before continuing.
Who am I coordinating care for (age, general health conditions, living situation)?
Which doctors or healthcare providers are currently involved (primary care, specialists, therapists, home health, etc.)?
What medications does my parent currently take, including dosage, timing, and who manages refills?
How are appointments currently tracked, and where do problems usually occur (missed visits, confusion, poor follow-up, lack of communication)?
Who else is involved in care coordination (siblings, spouse, caregiver, facility staff), and what roles do they play?
After gathering my answers, do the following.
Create a clear medical-care overview that includes providers, medications, upcoming appointments, and key responsibilities.
Build a simple system for tracking appointments, test results, prescriptions, and follow-up actions.
Suggest how to prepare for doctor visits, including questions to ask and information to bring.
Identify potential gaps or risks, such as medication conflicts, missed follow-ups, or unclear ownership.
Recommend ways to share updates with siblings or caregivers without constant texting or confusion.
Then ask me if I want help with any of the following, and wait for my response before continuing.
Creating a one-page medical summary for emergencies.
Drafting notes or questions for an upcoming doctor visit.
Setting up a simple medication-tracking routine.
Preparing a communication plan for siblings or caregivers.
End by summarizing my medical coordination plan in plain language and reminding me that organization improves care—not control.
