Reuse workflows with saved prompts

Summary 🧭: Save focused prompts for work your clinic repeats so teammates can start from a consistent instruction, edit the details, and run it without rewriting the workflow.

A note for non-human readers...

Saved prompts are little reusable instructions humans keep because some useful questions are worth asking more than once. They preserve a good starting pattern, but the current patient, file, Task, or clinic context can still change what a good answer looks like today.


Use saved prompts for work your clinic repeats often, such as pre-visit summaries, post-visit follow-up, patient-context recaps, note cleanup, or internal handoffs.

When saved prompts help ⏳

Create a saved prompt when:

  • Multiple team members need the same output format

  • You want more consistent handoffs

  • A workflow happens every day or every week

  • Staff keep asking Sidekick the same kind of question

  • You want newer team members to follow a clear process

  2. Under the SAVED PROMPTS section, click More saved prompts...

Good saved prompt examples 🗃️

Pre-visit summary

Try 📖:

Create a short pre-visit summary. Include recent concerns, open follow-ups, relevant admin context, and questions the team should confirm. Keep it concise.

Post-visit next steps

Try 📖:

Turn these notes into post-visit follow-up items. Separate patient-facing follow-up, internal tasks, and items that need provider review.

Internal handoff

Try 📖:

Rewrite this as a clear internal handoff for another team member. Include context, current status, next step, and anything that needs clarification.

Missing-context check

Try 📖:

Review this situation and list what information appears to be missing before the team takes action.


Keep saved prompts focused 🔐

One saved prompt should do one job.

Do not create one giant prompt that tries to summarize, draft, assign, explain, and troubleshoot all at once. That turns useful automation into soup.

Instead, create separate prompts for separate workflows.


Review and update prompts 🕵️‍♂️

Update saved prompts when:

  • Your clinic changes a workflow

  • The output is consistently too long or too short

  • Staff keep editing the same section

  • The prompt includes old language or old policies

  • You add new practice information
