  | 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.                                                                                                                                     |
