For the method in Prepare a Medication List Comparison Before an Appointment. Use AI to compare and format text - never to recommend starting, stopping, combining, substituting, or changing any dose.

The three prompts to reuse
1. Transcribe one source into a table
Here is a medication list exactly as printed on [source name]:
[paste, exactly as written, including any abbreviations or unclear
formatting]. Format this into a table with columns: medication name,
dose as printed, schedule as printed, and prescriber if listed. Do
not interpret, standardize, or correct anything - if something is
ambiguous or hard to read, mark it as "unclear" rather than guessing.
2. Compare sources and flag mismatches
Here are medication lists from [N] different sources: [paste each
table, labeled by source]. Compare them and produce a combined table
with one row per distinct medication. For each one, show what each
source says (name, dose, schedule) side by side, and flag clearly
whether the sources agree or disagree. Do not suggest which source is
more likely correct, and do not suggest any change to any medication -
only identify and flag matches and mismatches.
3. Add tracking fields
Add two columns to this comparison table: "last checked against
sources" (the date I compared the copied records) and "discrepancy
flag" (yes/no, plus a one-line note on what differs). Do not call the
list reconciled or decide which source is current. Do not fill in dates
or flags I did not provide - leave them blank if I have not given you
that information.
