Primary care: questions, guidelines and a worked example

Primary care covers prevention, chronic disease and undifferentiated symptoms, often in the same visit. Ask for the guideline your health system follows: screening ages and intervals differ by country.

Typical questions in primary care

Examples you can ask as written:

  • At what age and interval should I screen for colorectal cancer?
  • Which adults should be screened for type 2 diabetes or prediabetes?
  • How should I manage a first episode of acute low back pain?
  • Which vaccines does an adult with diabetes need?

Guideline bodies to check

When an answer cites one of these, open it and check its year and the patients it covers:

  • U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF): screening and prevention.
  • NICE in the UK and the World Health Organization, for example its 2021 hypertension treatment guideline.
  • ESH and ACC/AHA for hypertension.
  • Your ministry of health's clinical practice guidelines.

Example: a question and what a cited answer includes

Question: “How should I confirm a new diagnosis of hypertension and choose first-line treatment?” A useful answer:

  • Recommends confirming office readings with home or ambulatory blood pressure monitoring before making the diagnosis.
  • Lists the first-line classes: ACE inhibitor or ARB, calcium channel blocker, and thiazide or thiazide-like diuretic, often as a single-pill combination.
  • Shows where guidelines differ, for example on treatment thresholds and targets.
  • Cites each guideline by society and year.

What you can ask in primary care

From chronic disease to prevention, grounded in current evidence.

Newly diagnosed hypertension

Get the evidence-based approach to newly diagnosed hypertension, including thresholds, first-line agents and targets across patient groups.

Preventive screening

Clarify age-appropriate cancer and cardiovascular screening for an adult, with the intervals and risk factors that change recommendations.

Polypharmacy & deprescribing

Review polypharmacy in older adults and identify candidates for safe deprescribing, balancing benefit, harm and patient goals of care.

Evidence-based search built for clinicians

Ask any clinical question and get a concise, cited answer drawn from peer-reviewed literature and clinical guidelines.

Explore potential documentation gaps

Review available, supported records for potential billing details and documentation gaps. Validate findings against the complete clinical context.

Evidence at your fingertips

Explore available clinical guidelines and literature, and check the sources and relevance of each finding before applying it.

Findings for clinical review

Surface potential clinical risks and documentation gaps in supported records for professional review. Timing and coverage depend on the configured workflow.

Frequently asked questions

Does Arkangel AI cite its primary care sources?

Yes. Every answer links to the peer-reviewed studies and guidelines it draws from, so you can verify the evidence before acting.

Is this a replacement for clinical judgment?

No. Arkangel AI is clinical decision support. It accelerates evidence retrieval but does not replace your assessment of the individual patient.

Can I ask across the breadth of primary care?

Yes. Ask about chronic disease, prevention or prescribing and Arkangel AI summarizes the relevant guideline recommendations with sources.

Clinical decision support, not a replacement

Arkangel AI supports clinical decision-making and does not replace clinician judgment. Always confirm recommendations against primary sources and your local protocols before acting.
