What You Can Do
You can conduct comprehensive, standardized patient intake interviews that capture complete medical and vision histories while flagging urgent symptoms. The skill provides structured question flows for chief complaint analysis, symptom clarification, insurance verification, and pre-test baseline information gathering—transforming unstructured patient descriptions into clinically organized, actionable documentation that supports diagnosis and treatment planning.
Features
systematically gather chief complaint, symptom onset, duration, severity, and associated vision changes using clinical prompts
automatically identify urgent symptoms (acute pain, sudden vision loss, chemical exposure) requiring immediate escalation
convert patient descriptions into clinically relevant documentation with proper terminology and specificity
organize complete patient history including ocular/systemic conditions, medications, allergies, and family history
collect and organize coverage information, contact details, and emergency contacts
gather baseline information before diagnostic procedures (OCT, visual fields, fundus photography)
generate clinical-quality notes formatted for direct ophthalmologist/optometrist review without additional editing
incorporate explanations of common eye conditions and test procedures during intake
Example Output
Example 1: Chief Complaint Documentation
Chief Complaint: Blurred vision, right eye
History of Present Illness: 45-year-old reports gradual onset of blurred vision in right eye over 2 weeks. Denies pain, flashes, floaters, or trauma. Symptoms worse at distance; near vision unchanged. Denies recent eye surgery or medication changes. No associated systemic symptoms.
Red Flag Assessment: ✓ No acute indicators present. Routine evaluation appropriate.
Example 2: Red Flag Escalation
Chief Complaint: Sudden vision loss with eye pain
🚨 ESCALATION REQUIRED: Patient reports acute unilateral vision loss with pain. Immediate provider evaluation needed—possible acute angle closure or retrobulbar optic neuritis. Do not delay for routine testing.
Example 3: Complete Intake Summary
Patient: Jane Doe | DOB: 01/15/1978 | Insurance: Blue Cross #ABC123
Chief Complaint: Dry eye symptoms
HPI: Bilateral eye irritation × 3 months, worse in afternoon and with screen time. Denies pain/vision changes.
Ocular History: Last exam 2 years ago; mild hyperopia; no prior surgery
Systemic History: Hypothyroidism (levothyroxine); Sjögren syndrome not previously diagnosed
Medications: Levothyroxine 75 mcg daily; antihistamine as needed
Red Flag Assessment: ✓ Consider secondary cause (Sjögren)—recommend labs. Routine testing appropriate.
