Clinical context
“Clinical context” is background information about a patient — such as prior notes or external text — that helps you prepare and helps Miraa draft, without automatically becoming part of the clinical record.
In development / Needs confirmation — importing prior notes or external context is an evolving capability. Confirm whether it’s enabled for your clinic before relying on it.
What clinical context means in Miraa
- Recorded context — history, medications, and allergies already in the patient profile.
- Imported context — prior notes or external text that a clinic adds so Miraa can use it as historical background when drafting.
How imported context works
Where the feature is enabled, the typical flow is:
Add the text
Paste or provide prior notes or external context for the patient.
Miraa organises it
Miraa helps extract and structure the key points from that text.
A clinician reviews it
You review the extracted context and decide what’s accurate and relevant.
It informs drafting
Approved context is used as historical background to help draft future notes — it is not treated as new, confirmed record content on its own.
What Miraa may use context for
- Preparing you before a consultation.
- Providing background that informs the draft note.
- Keeping continuity with a patient’s history.
Context helps organise and draft. It does not make clinical decisions.
Why you must verify imported context
Imported context supports the clinician — it does not become final clinical record content without review. External and prior notes can be outdated, incomplete, or wrong. Verify before you rely on anything, and never let unverified context flow into an approved note.
Avoiding carry-forward errors
- Don’t copy an old problem list or plan forward unchanged.
- Remove anything irrelevant, outdated, or incorrect during your review. See Editing notes.
- Confirm medications and allergies against the patient, not just the imported text.
How this connects to note generation
Verified context becomes background that informs drafting — but the note itself still follows the full loop: generate → verify → approve. See Clinical notes (SOAP) and The core operating loop.
Privacy
Imported context can contain sensitive information. Only add context for patients you’re treating, and only from legitimate sources. It’s protected by the same security controls as the rest of the record. See Data security.
Common mistakes
- Treating imported context as confirmed fact.
- Carrying forward outdated problems, medications, or plans.
- Pasting in irrelevant material that then clutters future drafts.
