| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Early Access | A phase where new features or APIs are available to select partners before general availability, such as the ambient Clinician Note Generation API. |
| EHR | Electronic Health Record. The longitudinal digital chart for a patient across care settings. Partners integrate Suki so generated notes and structured clinical data can flow into the EHR clinicians already use. |
| EMR | Electronic Medical Record. Digitized clinical records maintained in a care setting, often within one organization. Partners commonly map Suki note output into EMR charting fields alongside broader EHR interoperability goals. |
| EMR Encounter ID | The partner EMR or EHR visit identifier (emr_encounter_id) that anchors interoperable ambient notes across modalities. Required for cross-modality ambient workflows. Must be a UUID today. Distinct from the Ambient API encounter_id session group field. |
| Encounter | One patient visit or appointment with a healthcare provider. In Suki, an encounter can group one or more ambient sessions so related recordings and notes stay tied to the same clinical visit. |
| Encounter Content | The aggregated clinical note content for a full patient encounter, combining output from one or more ambient sessions under the same encounter ID. |
| Encounter ID | In ambient session create, encounter_id is the session group ID used to group ambient sessions and re-ambient across modalities (up to 255 characters). Do not confuse it with EMR Encounter ID (emr_encounter_id). In Web SDK, the user-facing encounter identifier maps to emr_encounter_id. |
| Encounter Type | A label for the kind of visit, such as office visit, follow-up, or new patient. In Suki, encounter type is session context that helps guide how notes are generated for that visit pattern. |
| Encryption at Rest | The protection of stored data by encrypting it when saved on disk or in databases. Suki uses AES-256 encryption for data at rest. |
| Encryption in Transit | The protection of data while it moves between systems over networks. Suki uses TLS 1.2 for data transmission encryption. |
| EOF | End of File. A WebSocket streaming event that indicates the closure or completion of an audio stream. |
| ES6 | ECMAScript 2015, a version of JavaScript that includes modern features like arrow functions, classes, and modules. Required for browser compatibility with Suki Web SDK. |
