Patient Communication

Q: How do I know the Patient Communication output is good?

The skill verifies itself against its own quality checks: Written at or below Grade 8 reading level (short words, short sentences); Active voice used throughout ("We will contact you" not "You will be contacted"); Results letter states the result in the first sentence; Next steps are specific and include timeframes.

✅ The bar it holds itself to

Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.

✓Written at or below Grade 8 reading level (short words, short sentences)

✓Active voice used throughout ("We will contact you" not "You will be contacted")

✓Results letter states the result in the first sentence

✓Next steps are specific and include timeframes

✓No Latin or acronyms without explanation

✓Disclaimer that clinical review is required before sending

⚠️ What it refuses to do

Do not use medical jargon without a plain-English explanation — write for the patient, not the clinician

Do not omit a clear "next steps" section — patients must know exactly what to do after reading

Do not produce final content without flagging that clinical review is required before sending

Do not write above a Grade 8 reading level without a compelling reason — accessibility is the default

Do not include Latin abbreviations (e.g. "p.r.n.", "b.d.") without spelling them out — they are not universally understood
