Patient Counseling
4 promptsMedication Counseling Script
1/16✨ What it does
Scripts new-rx counseling.
Counseling script for new prescription [drug] for [indication]. Output: what it is + does (plain language), how to take (specific timing/food/etc.), expected effects + timeline, side effects to expect vs concerning, what to avoid (food, alcohol, other meds), missed dose protocol, storage, follow-up. 5 min counseling.
Pro tip: Generic counseling = patient tunes out. Specific to their drug + their life ("with breakfast since you skip lunch sometimes") = adherent. Counseling quality = adherence quality.
Adherence Conversation
2/16✨ What it does
Has adherence conversations.
Patient with poor adherence to [med]. Help me discuss: non-judgmental questions surfacing why (cost / side effects / forgetting / doesn't feel needed), specific solutions per cause, motivational interviewing approach, when to involve prescriber. Patient autonomy respected.
Pro tip: Lecturing on adherence = patient lies "yes I take it." Questioning approach = real cause surfaced + real solution. Different barriers (cost vs side effects vs habit) need different solutions.
Polypharmacy Education
3/16✨ What it does
Educates on polypharmacy management.
Patient on [N medications]. Help me educate on managing: pill organizer strategy, timing optimization, what to do if missed, what to do if confused, drug-drug interactions to be aware of, when to call us. Goal: feel empowered, not overwhelmed.
Pro tip: Polypharmacy patients overwhelmed by med lists. Practical strategies (organizer + timer + simple rules) = adherence. Theoretical lectures = ignored. Pragmatic counseling > thorough counseling.
OTC Recommendation Conversation
4/16✨ What it does
Recommends OTCs appropriately.
Patient asking for [OTC recommendation]. Help me conduct: brief assessment (symptoms, duration, conditions, current meds), differential of OTC vs see provider, recommended product with rationale, how to use, when to escalate. Pharmacist scope of practice.
Pro tip: OTC counseling moments are pharmacy's value-add. Quick "what's aisle 5" referrals = lost trust. Brief assessment + reasoned recommendation = patient values pharmacist judgment.

MTM + Clinical Pharmacy
4 promptsMedication Therapy Review
5/16✨ What it does
Conducts comprehensive medication reviews.
CMR for patient. Med list: [paste]. Conditions: [list]. Output: drug-drug interactions to flag, drug-disease interactions, therapeutic duplication, evidence-based gaps (missing therapies for conditions), dose-disease appropriateness, simplification opportunities. Verify against Lexicomp before recommending.
Pro tip: CMR depth = MTM value. Surface-level CMR = perfunctory. Deep CMR (interactions + therapeutic gaps + evidence-based optimization) = clinical impact + provider respect.
Renal Dose Adjustment
6/16✨ What it does
Reviews renal dosing.
Patient with [eGFR] on [med list]. Output: meds requiring renal adjustment, current dose vs recommended for this eGFR, alternatives if dose-adjusted insufficient, monitoring needed. Verify against authoritative source; renal dosing varies + updates.
Pro tip: Renal dosing errors common + harmful. Pharmacist catch = patient safety. AI helps brainstorm; primary source verification (FDA labels, current guidelines) before action.
Anticoagulation Counseling
7/16✨ What it does
Counsels on anticoagulants.
New anticoagulant [warfarin / DOAC]. Output: counseling per drug-specific issues, INR monitoring (warfarin) vs no monitoring (DOAC), dietary considerations, drug interactions to avoid, bleeding precautions, what to do if dose missed, urgent vs routine concerns.
Pro tip: Anticoagulant counseling = high-stakes. Bleeding events from poor counseling = harm. Specific to warfarin vs DOAC vs LMWH (different rules) = correct counseling.
Diabetes Med Optimization
8/16✨ What it does
Optimizes diabetes therapy.
Patient with diabetes on [meds + recent A1c + symptoms]. Output: ADA / AACE-aligned therapy assessment, gaps (missing GLP-1 if appropriate, missing SGLT2 with comorbid, missing insulin titration if needed), education needs, communication to PCP. Verify against current guidelines.
Pro tip: Diabetes therapy evolves rapidly. AI training data ages; current guidelines (ADA Standards of Care annual update) = authoritative. AI for orientation; current guideline for action.
Drug Information
4 promptsDI Question Response
9/16✨ What it does
Responds to DI questions structurally.
DI question: [paste — provider or patient]. Output: structured answer (background, evidence, recommendation, references), cite primary literature, clinically relevant nuance, what to follow up. Verify all clinical claims against authoritative drug info before response.
Pro tip: DI responses cite primary literature. AI provides framework + flags areas to verify; pharmacist verifies + signs off. Wrong DI answer = patient harm + liability.
Off-Label Use Evaluation
10/16✨ What it does
Evaluates off-label use.
[Drug] for [off-label indication]. Output: published evidence (with citations), FDA-labeled vs off-label rationale, dosing in published literature, monitoring, alternative on-label options, my recommendation. Off-label requires extra care.
Pro tip: Off-label use evaluation requires evidence base + risk consideration. AI brainstorm; verify all citations. Off-label decisions sit with prescriber; pharmacist provides info.
Adverse Event Reporting
11/16✨ What it does
Reports adverse events.
Possible ADR: [paste situation]. Help draft: characterization (probable/possible/unlikely per Naranjo), supporting + opposing evidence, recommendation (continue vs alternative vs reduce dose), MedWatch report draft if reportable. Pharmacovigilance is pharmacy responsibility.
Pro tip: ADR reporting often skipped (busy + paperwork). Documenting + reporting = better drug safety data + medico-legal protection. Pharmacy-specific role.
New Drug Onboarding for Team
12/16✨ What it does
Trains pharmacy teams on new drugs.
New drug [name] launching. Train pharmacy team: indication + MoA, place in therapy, dosing, common AEs, key interactions, REMS if any, counseling pearls. Output as quick-reference card + huddle topic.
Pro tip: New drug fluency = pharmacy quality. Self-taught = inconsistent across team. Structured training = consistent counseling + safety. Pharmacist-on-staff value beyond dispensing.

Pharmacy Operations
4 promptsInventory Management Strategy
13/16✨ What it does
Manages pharmacy inventory.
Inventory strategy for [pharmacy type]. Output: par levels by category, slow-mover identification, expensive med stocking decisions, expiration management, cycle count cadence, ordering frequency. Tight inventory = better margins; over-stocking = capital tied + waste.
Pro tip: Inventory eats pharmacy margins. Disciplined par + cycle counting + dead stock culling = profitability. Auto-pilot ordering = bloat + waste.
Workflow Bottleneck Analysis
14/16✨ What it does
Analyzes workflow bottlenecks.
Pharmacy workflow analysis. Volume: [Rxs/day]. Bottlenecks I see: [describe]. Output: per bottleneck cause, specific solutions, automation opportunities, layout changes, technician role optimization. Workflow design = throughput + safety.
Pro tip: Bottleneck workflow = errors + burnout. Common bottlenecks: data entry, verification, counseling, register. Each has different solution. Diagnose before solving.
PBM Negotiation Talking Points
15/16✨ What it does
Preps PBM negotiations.
PBM contract review + negotiation. Current rates: [describe]. Output: market rate comparisons, leverage points (volume, pharmacy quality, network gaps), specific asks (DIR fees, MAC pricing transparency, audit terms), walk-away alternatives. Pharmacy reimbursement is fight.
Pro tip: PBM contracts = fight for survival. Independents accept terms = squeezed out. Negotiation harder; more important. AI helps prep talking points; pharmacy lawyer essential for contract review.
Patient Satisfaction Issue Response
16/16✨ What it does
Responds to patient complaints.
Patient complaint: [paste]. Help me respond: acknowledge concern, investigate facts, address specifically, what we'll change (if appropriate), boundary if complaint unreasonable. Don't cave; don't dismiss. Professional resolution.
Pro tip: Patient complaints = feedback (often valid) + opportunity. Defensive response = bad review. Acknowledged + addressed = retained patient + improvement signal. Caving to unreasonable demands = bad precedent.
