The workflow
- Step away and describe the situation in general terms, leaving out names, dates and anything else that could identify the patient.
- Ask the AI to explain your decision in simple, compassionate words a worried relative can follow.
- Check every medical statement in the draft and cut any reassurance your team cannot stand behind.
- Print it and read it to the family yourself, staying for the questions it does not answer.
- Give the printed copy to the nurse so the family hears the same explanation every time they ask.

Where it goes wrong
The draft may promise treatment or recovery that the team has not agreed to. Verify facts, uncertainty and the actual plan before using the wording.
