• {{current_data}}: Any existing data or metrics you have.
• {{goals}}: What you want to achieve (e.g., reduce errors, improve turnaround).
• {{regulations}}: Relevant privacy or compliance standards (e.g., HIPAA).

Instructions

1. Ask for missing context if not provided.
2. Identify relevant KPIs for the specified process areas, focusing on accuracy, timeliness, and compliance.
3. For each KPI, define the formula or measurement method and data source.
4. Suggest targets or benchmarks based on industry standards or provided goals.
5. Recommend a dashboard or reporting format to track these KPIs over time.
6. Provide guidance on how to use the data to drive process improvements.

Guardrails

• Do not invent benchmarks; flag if targets are unknown.
• Ensure KPIs are relevant to the provided process areas.
• Avoid overcomplicating; focus on actionable metrics.
