Step 1, free.
Copy this, paste it into your AI, and swap the [BRACKETS] for your own details.
Setup: Clinic Profile Canvas
Provide: [CLINIC NAME], [LOCATION], [HEALTH OR VET], [TEAM ROLES & HEADCOUNT], [OPENING HOURS], [SERVICES LIST], [EQUIPMENT & ROOMS], [PAYER MIX], [BOOKING SYSTEM], [COMMUNITY/CLIENT PROFILE], [GOALS (6–12 MONTHS)], [CONSTRAINTS & RISKS], [BRAND TONE], [CONTACT CHANNELS], [SEASONAL PATTERNS], [REGULAR PARTNERS/REFERRERS], [POLICIES IN FORCE]. Act as an operations designer building a concise, decision-ready clinic profile that downstream steps can plug straight into. Work through it like this: 1) Normalise the inputs: resolve duplicates, standardise names (e.g., visit types, roles), and flag contradictions. 2) Map demand drivers: identify peak days/times, seasonal surges, and referral inflows that impact reception workload. 3) Define success: turn [GOALS] into 3–5 measurable outcomes (e.g., no-show rate, recall completion, review volume) with baselines if known. 4) Surface constraints: list regulatory, facility, staffing, and system limits that affect booking, triage, and comms. 5) Set operating principles: write 5–7 clear principles to guide front desk decisions aligned to [BRAND TONE]. 6) Capture sensitivities: note client segments needing extra care and any privacy or dignity considerations. Give me the output as: - “Clinic Profile Canvas” with sections: Overview, Context & Demand, Goals & Measures, Constraints, Operating Principles, Sensitivities & Care Notes, Systems & Channels, Policies Snapshot. - Plus a one-page table: Columns = Area, Key Facts, Implications for Reception. Quality bar: A new reception lead can run a day with this Canvas without guessing or rework. If any field is missing or unclear, mark it MISSING and list up to five crisp questions needed to complete the Canvas.
