What you'll accomplish
By the end of this guide, you'll have ChatGPT configured as a persistent admin assistant that already knows your practice — your specialty, EHR system, state, payer mix, and communication tone. Instead of explaining your practice context every single session, ChatGPT Projects keeps all of that loaded so you can jump straight to the task. Think of it like training a new admin assistant once, then never having to re-explain the basics again.
What you'll need
- ChatGPT Plus subscription ({{tool:ChatGPT.price}}) — Sign up
- Time needed: 45 minutes to set up; then 2 minutes per task
- Cost: {{tool:ChatGPT.price}}
- Basic information about your practice (specialty, size, state, EHR, payers)
How-To Guide: Set Up ChatGPT as Your Practice Admin Assistant
Step 1: Upgrade to ChatGPT Plus and log in
Go to chatgpt.com and click Upgrade to Plus in the left sidebar. Complete the subscription. Once subscribed, you'll see a model selector in the top left — confirm it shows {{tool:ChatGPT.model:general}} or similar (the most capable model).
What you should see: The ChatGPT interface with a "New chat" button and a left sidebar with recent chats. Troubleshooting: If you don't see the Projects feature (step 2), try refreshing the page or logging out and back in — Projects rolls out gradually.
