suggested_dot_phrases object[]
A collection of Dot Phrases that were successfully matched to the encounter's transcript, given the Dot Phrases defined on the calling user. Will be null in the context of a Server API call (i.e. no calling user). This functionality enriches the generated note by expanding concise key sentences (triggers) into a more detailed format following the given Dot Phrase definition. Thus, enhancing the depth and utility of the note and facilitating a comprehensive review of patient assessments in a structured and conventional manner.
dot_phrase object
Dot phrase, also referred to as EHR (Electronic Health Record) macro, is a concise abbreviation (trigger
) that unfolds into a predefined, extended text (replacement
).
Unique identifier of the Dot Phrase.
A user-friendly title for the Dot Phrase. Does not impact the matching logic.
The text which, if present in the transcript, will prompt the suggestion of this Dot Phrase.
If true, whenever this dot phrase is suggested, the replacement text will be automatically updated based on the encounter discussion.
The replacement text for this Dot Phrase. If the Dot Phrase's trigger is detected, this text will be suggested in the note generation's response.
note_section object
The key and the title of the section in the note where this Dot Phrase is suggested to go. There are three possible scenarios:
• No suggested section: Given the Dot Phrase's content, we found no appropriate section to suggest. You should decide for a default (for instance: any kind of "free text" area you might have).
• Suggested section already present in the note: We recommend you append the Dot Phrase's suggested text_to_insert
to the section's content.
• Suggested section is not present in the note: Add a new section to the note with the provided key and title and use the Dot Phrase's suggested text_to_insert
as the section's content.
