Safety, privacy, and what to never type

1. Hallucination: confident but wrong answers.
2. Privacy and PHI exposure: assume pasted content may be stored or reviewed unless you are on an appropriate business or enterprise plan with the right settings.
3. Over-reliance: if you stop thinking, the AI's mistakes become yours.
4. Outdated information: drug guidance, regulations, and protocols change.

• Full patient names
• Phone numbers, addresses, Aadhaar numbers, or insurance IDs
• Photos of ID cards, prescriptions with names, or lab reports with identifiers
• Staff salaries or disciplinary details with names
• Anything you would not be comfortable seeing on a billboard

• Anonymized clinical scenarios with ages rounded
• General questions about conditions, drugs, or protocols that you will verify
• Drafts of policies, letters, and SOPs
• Your own writing that you want improved

Before pasting anything into a chat, ask:

1. Did I remove all names and identifiers?
2. Am I treating the output as a draft, not a final answer?
3. Will I verify clinical facts before acting?
4. Have I read the output critically?
5. If a family member saw this chat, would I be comfortable?
