Just In Time! ChatGPT Prompt Development Tips and Tricks

To help you answer these questions, here is an overview and application of the visual—ChatGPT Prompt Frameworks by Kizer Abbas. The image presents a collection of prompt frameworks designed for use with ChatGPT. If the visual is blurry, Google the Title. These frameworks are designed to help users structure their prompts to elicit more relevant and valuable responses from the AI.

A ChatGPT framework is a structured approach that guides users in effectively leveraging ChatGPT to achieve specific goals. This framework outlines best practices, methodologies, and strategies to enhance the user experience when interacting with the AI model.

A ChatGPT framework comprises critical components: prompt engineering, contextual understanding, and response evaluation. Prompt engineering involves crafting clear, concise prompts that communicate user intent, leading to more relevant and accurate responses. Contextual understanding ensures that the model can retain and process information within a conversation, enabling it to provide coherent and contextually appropriate replies.

The framework emphasizes the importance of response evaluation, where users assess the quality of generated responses and refine prompts based on feedback. This iterative process helps improve the effectiveness of interaction.

A ChatGPT framework encourages integrating best practices, such as maintaining a user-friendly tone, providing constructive feedback, and utilizing ChatGPT for diverse applications, including brainstorming, decision-making, and problem-solving. By following this structured approach, users can maximize the benefits of ChatGPT, making it a valuable tool in various settings, from professional development to team collaboration.

Prompt Example: Leveraging AI for Health Equity Policy

• Goal: Develop a comprehensive health equity policy proposal that addresses the needs of diverse stakeholders across multiple sectors.
• Framework: R-I-S-E (Role, Insight, Statement, Personality, Experiment)

Prompt Structure and Breakdown

• Role: “Assume the role of a seasoned health policy analyst with expertise in equity and social determinants of health.”
• Insight: “Consider the following data on health disparities: [Provide relevant data on health disparities across different demographics and socioeconomic groups].”
• Statement: “Develop a policy proposal that aims to reduce health disparities and promote health equity among marginalized populations.”
• Personality: “Adopt a collaborative and inclusive approach that values diverse perspectives and ensures stakeholder engagement.”
• Experiment: “Explore different policy options, including [list potential policy options], and assess their potential impact on health equity outcomes.”

Possible AI and ChatGPT-Generated Responses Using Prompts

Based on the R-I-S-E framework and the provided data, the AI could generate a comprehensive policy proposal that:

• Identifies key health disparities: Highlights specific areas where marginalized populations experience inequitable health outcomes.
• Proposes evidence-based interventions: Suggests policy measures that have been shown to effectively address health disparities, such as expanding access to affordable healthcare, investing in community-based programs, and addressing social determinants of health.
• Considers stakeholder perspectives: The proposal incorporates feedback from diverse stakeholders, including community organizations, healthcare providers, and policymakers, to ensure it is responsive to their needs and concerns.
• Evaluates potential outcomes: Assesses the potential impact of the proposed policies on health equity outcomes and identifies possible challenges and mitigation strategies.

By utilizing the R-I-S-E framework and providing relevant data, policymakers can leverage AI to generate innovative and effective health equity policy proposals that meet the needs of diverse stakeholders and promote a more equitable healthcare system. Now, you’re ready to address the above questions and prepare for the staff’s questions. I recommend that you provide a copy of the visual and some instructions for your meeting.

Discussion Questions for Your Next Staff Meeting

Scenario: AI analyzed transportation and healthcare access, generating policy alignment recommendations. Questions:

1. How can ChatGPT improve stakeholder engagement around health equity?
2. What additional data points could AI help us analyze for policy decisions?
3. How do we ensure AI-generated recommendations are culturally sensitive?

Professional Development Learning Activities

1. Gap Analysis and Policy Recommendations Workshop: Challenge your team to use ChatGPT to analyze existing health equity policies and identify gaps across sectors. Collaboratively develop AI-generated recommendations for improvement. Share findings through a brainstorming session and generate actionable solutions to enhance multi-sector collaboration and alignment with social determinants of health.
2. Scenario-Based Stakeholder Engagement Simulation: Using ChatGPT, create role-playing scenarios for multi-sector stakeholder meetings focused on health equity. Develop AI-assisted strategies to address common challenges such as conflicting priorities and resource constraints. Present AI-generated stakeholder engagement plans and evaluate the effectiveness of using ChatGPT to foster buy-in for systemic policy changes.
3. AI-Driven Data Translation Hackathon: Host a “hackathon” where participants use ChatGPT to translate complex datasets (e.g., public health or SDOH data) into easy-to-understand policy briefs or proposals. Teams will compete to produce the most actionable recommendations, with real-time feedback on the clarity and practicality of their AI-enhanced policy outputs.
