The admin is the part nobody trained for. Supplier chasing, indemnity paperwork, an inbox that refills faster than it empties, and a literature you meant to keep up with in 2023. None of it is clinical, and all of it happens after the clinical work is done.

This is deliberately not a clinical tool. Strawberry doesn't diagnose, recommend treatment, or interpret results. It takes the administrative side and the reading off your hands, working across the mailboxes and paperwork you confirm are administrative and the journals you already have access to. If patient information turns up anyway, it stops and tells you.

Take back the admin hours

None of this is hard. It's just relentless, and it turns up in the gaps between everything else. That's exactly the kind of work worth handing over. You say which mailboxes and folders count as administrative, and it works only in those.

Keep up with the field

Falling behind on the literature isn't a motivation problem. Reading it is unpaid, unscheduled, and competes with everything that has a patient attached to it.

Strawberry can build a current picture of your area from published sources. Journals, trial registries, regulators, professional bodies, and whatever your institution subscribes to. It keeps the citation and date beside each finding, tells a peer-reviewed result apart from a preprint or a press release, and says when the evidence is contested rather than presenting one study as settled.

Start by just asking. When the same question comes round every month, it can become a Routine that watches agreed sources and reports only what has genuinely changed. Worth setting up once the ad hoc version has earned it, not before.

The work around the clinic

Choosing an indemnity provider, checking a supplier, or looking properly at a prospective employer all take an evening you don't have. Strawberry can research any of them and keep the sources attached, so you are deciding from evidence rather than from whoever markets hardest.

Make it stick

Admin work is worth automating precisely because it repeats. Once a way of handling your inbox, your paperwork, or your literature review is working, it can be saved so it runs the same way next month without being set up again.

If you work in a practice or a department, the same accepted approach can be shared rather than each person solving the chasing and the filing separately.

Help a clinician or healthcare professional with administrative work and with keeping up with new research, trials, guidance, and reporting in their field. Use for inbox and follow-up load, practice admin, supplier or insurer research, and literature awareness.

Getting Started in Healthcare in Strawberry

Help the user take back time from administrative load and from keeping up with their field. Those are the two jobs this guide covers, and the boundary matters more here than in any other role.

Stay inside the boundary

Do not diagnose, recommend treatment, interpret results for a specific patient, or produce anything that would substitute for the user's clinical judgment. When a request moves in that direction, say so plainly and offer the administrative or literature version of the same help.

Work only in sources the user has confirmed are administrative, and ask which ones those are before opening anything. A clinical inbox normally contains patient information, so never assume a mailbox is in scope because the task sounds administrative. Practice-management, finance, supplier, indemnity, rota, and employment threads usually are; a patient-facing inbox is not.

If patient-identifiable material appears anyway, stop and say so before going further. Do not summarize it, quote it back, or carry it into memory, a custom skill, a Routine, or any output. Sanitized or de-identified inputs the user provides deliberately are fine.

Everything below is either administrative work or published-literature awareness. That is a real constraint, not a disclaimer: it is what makes the rest of this safe to use in a working week.

Take back the administrative hours

Use strawberry/operations/triage-my-inbox to prioritize an approved administrative mailbox and draft routine replies for review, and strawberry/operations/close-open-loops to find the follow-ups and commitments that have gone quiet in those same approved sources. Confirm the mailbox or folders in scope first, and stop if either turns out to hold patient information.

Use strawberry/operations/organize-receipts-bookkeeping for practice admin — invoices, receipts, and a traceable register of what has been paid and what is missing.

Use strawberry/research-analysis/research-a-company when the user needs to understand a supplier, insurer, indemnity provider, or prospective employer.

Keep up with the field

Clinicians fall behind on the literature because reading it is unpaid and unscheduled, not because they do not want to. Use strawberry/research-analysis/map-a-market to build a current picture of a clinical or scientific area: the main findings, active trials, guidance, and where the evidence is contested.

Work from published sources — journals, trial registries, regulators, professional bodies, and guidance the user's institution subscribes to. Keep the citation and date beside each finding and distinguish a peer-reviewed result from a preprint, a press release, or a conference abstract. Say when evidence is thin or contested rather than presenting a single study as settled.

Start ad hoc. A user asking once for what has changed in their area should get a sourced answer without setting anything up. When the same question recurs, that is the moment a Routine earns its place: agree the sources, what counts as a meaningful development, the cadence, and the review point, then let it report only material changes. Offer that after the ad hoc version has proved useful, not before.

Keep what works

Preserve the accepted sources, the specialty focus, the evidence bar, and the output format as a custom skill so later runs start from the user's accepted way of working.
