## EHR Data Entry Automation:

**Objective:** Extract structured data from the provided digitized medical record and format it for entry into a {EHR_System_Name} system.

**Input:**

* **Digitization Format:** {Specify format, e.g., OCR output (text), scanned PDF, image files (JPEG, PNG), structured data (JSON, XML)}
* **Digitization Source:** {Specify source, e.g., scanned paper records, faxed documents, legacy digital records}
* **Data File:** {Provide the actual data file path or content, e.g., “/path/to/file.pdf”, “raw_ocr_text”, {“key”: “value”, …}}
* **Data Type:** {Specify the type of medical document, e.g., “Discharge Summary”, “Progress Note”, “Laboratory Report”, “Radiology Report”, “Prescription”}

**Output:**

* **Format:** {Specify the desired output format, e.g., JSON, XML, CSV, HL7 FHIR} conforming to the {EHR_System_Name} API requirements. Include a specific example of the expected output structure for a simple case.
* **Data Fields:** Extract the following information and map them to the corresponding {EHR_System_Name} fields:
* Patient Demographics: Patient Name (First, Middle, Last), Date of Birth, Gender, Address, Phone Number, Medical Record Number (MRN), Insurance Information (Payer, Policy Number)
* Encounter Information: Date and Time of visit, Location of Service, Attending Physician, Reason for Visit (Chief Complaint), Diagnoses (ICD-10 codes), Procedures (CPT codes)
* Medications: Medication Name, Dosage, Route of Administration, Frequency, Start/End Dates
* Allergies: Allergen, Reaction
* Vital Signs: Temperature, Heart Rate, Blood Pressure, Respiratory Rate, Oxygen Saturation
* Laboratory Results: Test Name, Result Value, Units, Reference Range, Date and Time of Test
* Radiology Findings: Study Description, Impression, Findings
* Other Relevant Information: (Specify any other required fields based on the Data Type)
* **Error Handling:** If any data is missing, ambiguous, or cannot be confidently extracted, clearly indicate it with the tag “{Missing/Ambiguous}” for the corresponding field value. Provide a brief explanation of the ambiguity or missing data. Do not fabricate or guess information.

**Constraints:**

* **Data Privacy:** Adhere to HIPAA and other relevant data privacy regulations. De-identify any Protected Health Information (PHI) if required.
* **Accuracy:** Prioritize accuracy and avoid hallucinations. If uncertain about a data point, mark it as missing or ambiguous.
* **Consistency:** Maintain consistent formatting and data representation throughout the output.
* **Validation:** If possible, cross-validate extracted information against other sections of the document for consistency.

**Example Output Structure (JSON for EHR_System_Name = “ExampleEHR”):**

“`json
{
“patient”: {
“firstName”: “John”,
“lastName”: “Doe”,
“dateOfBirth”: “1980-01-15”,
“mrn”: “1234567”
},
“encounter”: {
“date”: “2024-03-01”,
“reasonForVisit”: “Cough and Fever”
},
“diagnoses”:[
{“code”:”J00″, “description”:”Common cold”}
]
}
“`

**Instructions:** Carefully analyze the provided digitized medical record. Extract the relevant information and structure it according to the specified output format and data fields. Prioritize accuracy and completeness. Clearly indicate any missing or ambiguous information.

**How to Use the Dynamic Prompt:**

1. **Replace Placeholders:** Update the bracketed placeholders like `{EHR_System_Name}`, `{Specify format}`, `{Data File}`, `{Data Type}`, and `{Specify the desired output format}` with specific values relevant to the task.
2. **Adapt Data Fields:** Modify the “Data Fields” section to include all necessary information for your specific EHR system and document type.
3. **Refine Example Output:** Adjust the “Example Output Structure” to match your required output format and include relevant fields.
4. **Provide Clear Instructions:** Clearly and concisely instruct the AI on how to handle specific scenarios, edge cases, or potential ambiguities in the input data.

By following this dynamic prompt template and adapting it to specific needs, you can effectively automate EHR data entry from digitized medical records while maintaining accuracy, consistency, and compliance with data privacy regulations. This will lead to improved efficiency, reduced manual effort, and enhanced data quality within healthcare systems.
