Every pathology and genomic report ships with a signed plain-language version

Patients now receive laboratory results in portals before their clinician has spoken to them, often in dense pathology language. The proposal is that laboratories and hospitals generate a plain-language companion for every diagnostic report (what was tested, what was found, what it usually means, what happens next) using a language model constrained to templates and the actual report text, released only after clinician sign-off. Templates should be co-written with patient groups and cover the twenty most common report types first.
