How to use it

Use these written steps alongside the downloaded resource.

  1. Name the task before the tool

    Write the specific task and the minimum information needed to complete it.

    • Keep the task bounded and reversible.
    • If the task involves clinical judgment or another high-stakes decision, stop and use the approved human-led process.
  2. Remove information that does not belong

    Review the planned input line by line before entering it into an AI tool.

    • Remove patient-identifiable and confidential details.
    • Do not include passwords, credentials, private records, or proprietary information.
  3. Confirm the environment

    Check the tool, account, sharing settings, retention policy, and organizational approval for this use.

    • Use only the approved account and workspace.
    • When the approval or data boundary is unclear, ask the responsible owner before proceeding.
  4. Plan the review

    Decide how the output will be checked before anyone relies on it.

    • Verify important facts against trusted sources.
    • Keep the final decision and accountability with a qualified person.
