What you'll accomplish
By the end of this guide, you'll have Claude set up to generate patient education scripts, procedure explanations, and post-op instructions — and you'll have a printed or digital library of 10+ patient-facing scripts your whole team can use. This standardizes how your practice communicates with patients, reduces chairside confusion, and means every patient gets a consistent, clear explanation regardless of who is helping them.
What you'll need
- A Claude account at claude.ai (free account works; Claude Pro adds persistent conversations)
- Time needed: 45 minutes to build the initial library; 2 minutes per future addition
- Cost: Free
How-To Guide: Use Claude to Build a Patient Education Script Library
Step 1: Create your Claude account
Go to claude.ai → click Sign up → create an account with your personal email (not work email if HIPAA is a concern — you won't be entering patient data anyway).
What you should see: Claude's main chat interface, similar to ChatGPT, with a text input at the bottom.
