5-column Gab AI Deck recipe for plain-language health communications

Plain-Language Health turns clinical content into materials patients actually read. Column 1 grounds the brief in the latest evidence with a research-assistant tool; column 2 synthesises in plain language at a 6th-grade reading level; column 3 produces a Q&A FAQ; column 4 packages a one-page handout; column 5 generates a social tile for community outreach. Used responsibly, it saves clinicians hours per week without sacrificing accuracy.

How to use this recipe

  1. Click "Use this recipe" to clone the 5-column deck.
  2. Spec the topic (condition, treatment, vaccine) and target audience (parents, patients, public) in column 1.
  3. Pin an explicit anti-hallucination clause in the synthesis column: every claim must trace to a peer-reviewed source.
  4. Run synthesis, FAQ, and handout in parallel; spec the reading level (6th grade) and length cap.
  5. Have a clinician review every output before publishing — AI is a draft tool, not a substitute for medical review.

Plain-Language Health FAQ

Is this a substitute for medical writing review?

No. Every output must be reviewed by a qualified clinician or medical writer before publishing. The deck speeds up the draft phase; it does not replace expertise.

How do you prevent hallucinated medical facts?

The research column gathers grounded sources; the synthesis column is configured to cite every claim and refuse to answer when context is missing. Even so, every claim must be human-verified.

What reading level should I target?

6th-grade is the public-health gold standard. Spec it in the synthesis column; the model uses the Flesch-Kincaid heuristic to calibrate sentence length and word choice.

Can it produce in-language patient materials?

Yes — add translation chat columns for priority languages. Most US health systems publish in English + Spanish at minimum.

Will it match HIPAA and accessibility requirements?

AI is a tool; HIPAA, ADA, and other compliance requirements remain the operator's responsibility. Don't paste protected health information into the deck without your organisation's approval.

Can I generate audio versions for accessibility?

Yes — add a voice column and route the handout through it. Pair with the printed version for ADA compliance.
