Turn Visit Notes Into a Dated Action Tracker
The follow-up that never happened is the one that was never written down with a date. This reads your visit notes, finds the action verbs — call, refill, schedule, follow up, book — and turns each into a dated checkbox, sorted by when it's due. Local only; your notes never leave the tab.

The workflow
Paste the notes, messy and all
Shorthand, half-sentences, 'call pharmacy', 'schedule the MRI' — the extractor looks for the action verbs, so the mess is fine. What matters is that you wrote the thing down at all.
Read the dates, not just the list
Each action gets a due offset by its verb: refills and urgent calls land first, routine scheduling later. The date is the whole point — a list without dates is what you already had.
Do the first item before you leave the building
If the top of the card is 'call the pharmacy', do it from the waiting room. The highest-value actions are front-loaded on purpose — they're the ones with the shortest fuse.
Tick as you go, and re-run when you get new notes
The card is a living list. Next visit, paste the new notes and re-run — the old actions you've ticked stay done, and the new ones slot in by date.
Worked example
Sample: a follow-up note with four actions Actions 4 Call pharmacy today (refill) Schedule MRI +2 days Follow-up visit +7 days Book PT +3 days Uploaded nothing — extracted in the tab
Numbers above are sample data produced by the tool's own pre-loaded example, run in the browser — not averages or measured benchmarks.
What breaks this
Notes with no verbs give the extractor nothing — 'blood pressure, 140/90' is a reading, not an action; 'schedule BP recheck' is. Treating the dates as medical advice is wrong: they're default offsets, and anything your clinician said overrides them. Skipping the first item because it's small is how refills run out — the card sorts by urgency for a reason.
