Keep care context in view.
Healthcare software serves clinicians, patients, caregivers, and care teams with different needs. This skill helps an agent preserve the context each person needs across portals, scheduling, ordering, results, and care coordination.
Version 1.1.0 adds a stricter check for invented clinical content, including in examples and verification steps. A synthetic order-entry review exposed that gap; the revised skill leaves doses, thresholds, and clinical interpretations with approved sources and their owners.
What the interface needs to preserve.
Meaningful information
Values retain the labels, units, times, and sources needed to understand them.
Honest workflow states
Draft, saved, sent, accepted, acknowledged, and failed reflect what the system actually knows.
Interruption & recovery
Handle stale tabs, connection failures, and uncertain submissions without silently duplicating actions.
A message flow, through the interruption.
The review checks who is acting, which patient the message concerns, whether work survives an interruption, and whether the interface can distinguish a confirmed submission from an unknown outcome.
Review a patient portal’s message flow from drafting through submission and recovery after a connection failure. Check patient and proxy context, status wording, and keyboard use without inventing clinical rules.
Guidance close to the work.
- Interface & workflow patterns
Clinical context, forms, results, alerts, patient language, and recovery.
- Evaluation
Task-based review and checks for consequential failure states.
- Sources & scope
Research, standards, and the limits of the evidence behind recommendations.
The skill supports care-workflow design and review. Clinical rules, treatment decisions, and product-specific safety or compliance claims require their own evidence and qualified owners. For a WCAG audit, pair it with a dedicated accessibility skill.
Use the skill.
