  | Term                      | Definition                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        |

  | **Partner**               | An organization or company that integrates with Suki's platform to offer AI-powered clinical documentation services to their users.                                                                                                                               |
  | **Partner ID**            | A unique identifier assigned by Suki during onboarding that links an application to its configuration in the Suki Developer Platform.                                                                                                                             |
  | **Partner Token**         | A secure, digitally signed JWT issued by a partner's identity provider after user authentication, passed to Suki SDK for user verification.                                                                                                                       |
  | **Past Medical History**  | A clinical note section (LOINC: 11348-0) for prior conditions, surgeries, hospitalizations, and other significant health events. In Suki, pass this LOINC code when you want past medical history in the generated note.                                          |
  | **Past Surgical History** | A clinical note section (LOINC: 10167-5) for prior surgical procedures and related outcomes. In Suki, pass this LOINC code when you want surgical history in the generated note.                                                                                  |
  | **Patient Instructions**  | A clinical note section (LOINC: 69730-0) for after-visit guidance, follow-up steps, and patient education. In Suki, pass this LOINC code when you want patient instructions in the generated note.                                                                |
  | **PAUSE**                 | A WebSocket streaming event that temporarily suspends audio transmission while keeping the session active, allowing resumption later.                                                                                                                             |
  | **PBC**                   | Problem-Based Charting. A documentation style that organizes the note around patient problems, with assessment and plan content tied to each problem. In Suki, enable PBC by marking a PBN LOINC section (commonly Assessment and Plan) with isPBNSection.        |
  | **PBN**                   | Problem-Based Note. The note structure used with Problem-Based Charting, where content is organized by problems or diagnoses instead of only traditional section order. In Suki, designate one LOINC section as the PBN section when configuring ambient options. |
  | **PCM**                   | Pulse-Code Modulation. A method of digitally encoding analog audio signals. Suki uses LINEAR16 PCM format at 16KHz for audio streaming.                                                                                                                           |
  | **Personalization**       | Provider-level controls for how notes are generated, such as verbosity and section format (narrative or bulleted). In Suki, personalization preferences apply across a provider's future sessions rather than only one visit.                                     |
  | **PHI**                   | Protected Health Information. Individually identifiable health information protected under HIPAA when held by covered entities and their business associates. Suki integrations must treat clinical audio, transcripts, and notes as PHI-bearing content.         |
  | **Physical Exam**         | A clinical note section (LOINC: 29545-1) for examination findings from the encounter. In Suki, pass this LOINC code when you want physical exam content in the generated note.                                                                                    |
  | **PII**                   | Personally Identifiable Information. Data that can identify a person, such as name or contact details. Suki de-identifies PII from transcripts used for model improvement while production clinical workflows still treat patient content as sensitive.           |
  | **Presigned URL**         | A time-limited, pre-authenticated URL that grants temporary access to a specific resource (such as an audio recording) without requiring additional authentication.                                                                                               |
  | **Problem List**          | A clinical note section (LOINC: 11450-4) for the patient's active diagnoses and ongoing concerns. In Suki, pass this LOINC code when you want problem-list content in the generated note, including Problem-Based Charting workflows.                             |
  | **Provider**              | A healthcare professional such as a physician, APP, or nurse who documents care. In Suki integrations, provider identity ties sessions, preferences, and generated notes to the correct clinician.                                                                |
  | **Provider ID**           | A unique identifier for a specific healthcare provider within a partner organization, used to associate sessions, notes, and preferences with the correct clinician.                                                                                              |
