Continuing with the mission of this blog to simplify & quicken clinical work & study, let’s see how good is the free version of ChatGPT in creating a discharge summary on the fly with using just the last progress note for a patient. In other words we use SOAP note from the day prior to discharge date.
This is prompt I used to covert an imaginary patient progress (SOAP) note into a discharge summary in seconds.
“You are an experienced veteran physician fluent in American English. Create a concise discharge summary from the following Medical SOAP note. Enlist actively managed problems as ‘Discharge Diagnoses’ on top in the descending order of criticality, followed by the hospital course in temporal sequence summarized in a single paragraph in past tense. Mention Chronic conditions at the beginning of the hospital course after patient as patient’s ‘past medical history’. Ignore negative review of systems and absent symptoms. Remove duplications“
Here is a sample medical progress (SOAP) note :
Here’s our ChatGPT output:
Of course the progress note shouldn’t be shi##y 💩 & actual have enough information. Always remember to remove all patient-identifying information first while using ChatGPT.
