| 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. |
| Embedded Forms | The fields inside a note section, such as a dropdown, a radio button, a date, or a text field, that Suki fills from the ambient visit. You send the template with the session, and after the note is ready Suki returns each answer as its own value, so your app can fill the template without reading the note text. Supported by Ambient APIs and Headless Web SDK. See Embedded Forms. |
| 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. Accepts a UUID or non-UUID value, at most 36 characters. Distinct from the Ambient API encounter_id 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 groups re-ambient sessions for one note (up to 255 characters). Reuse the same value when you sent it on the first create. If the first create omitted it, pass the returned note_id as this field’s value. Do not confuse it with EMR Encounter ID (emr_encounter_id). In Web SDK, the 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. |
