Best practice for optimal results

Do

  • Be specific with names and dates - "Show me Sarah's care plan for Tuesday" vs "Show me care plans".

  • Use natural language - "Who's working with our dementia care service users today?"

  • Combine requests - "Show me today's birthday celebrations and staff on duty".

  • Ask follow-up questions - Build on the information provided.

Don't

  • Don't use system codes - Use natural names instead of ID numbers.

  • Don't ask for impossible predictions - Focus on available data.

  • Don't forget context - Mention if you're asking for urgent/on-call situations.

Sample conversation flow

You: "I'm on call and got a question about Mrs. Johnson".

Copilot: "I can help with Mrs. Johnson's information. What specifically do you need to know?"

You: "Her daughter called asking about her medication schedule".
