Use this endpoint to get the patient_summary_id for a specific encounter and practitioner by providing the fhir_encounter_id and fhir_practitioner_id. Once you have the patient_summary_id, use it to retrieve the generated summary via the Get full Patient Summary using Patient Summary ID endpoint.

When to call this endpoint

Call this endpoint after FHIR Patient, Encounter, and Practitioner resources for that visit are already in CKG. Generation does not upload clinical data. It starts an asynchronous job from data you already ingested. Use these request fields as follows:

fhir_encounter_id: Required. Identifies the encounter in your ingested FHIR data. It must match the encounter identifier you uploaded.
fhir_practitioner_id: Required. Identifies the practitioner in your ingested FHIR data. It must match the practitioner identifier you uploaded.

Keep those identifiers consistent between CKG upload, generation, and retrieval. If they do not match, generation and retrieval fail or return empty results.

Patient summaries are generated from data previously ingested into the Clinical Knowledge Graph (CKG). Before calling this endpoint, ensure the required Patient, Encounter, and Practitioner resources have been ingested using the CKG Data Ingestion APIs.

Send Suki this data every morning (at midnight) for all appointments scheduled that day. This avoids waiting for the API to complete the generation process.
Processing speed: Each individual appointment takes roughly 20 seconds to generate a Patient Summary once the API is triggered.

Prerequisites:

Ingest the required Patient, Encounter, and Practitioner resources using the CKG Data Ingestion APIs.
Include consistent patient, encounter, and practitioner identifiers in the FHIR resources.
Ensure these identifiers match the fhir_encounter_id and fhir_practitioner_id values you use for generation and retrieval.

Generation typically completes within a few seconds to a few minutes, depending on the amount of patient data available in the CKG.

Request body

Field	Type	Required	Description
`fhir_encounter_id`	string	Yes	Encounter identifier. Must match the identifier in the ingested FHIR data.
`fhir_practitioner_id`	string	Yes	Practitioner identifier. Must match the identifier in the ingested FHIR data.

After the request returns 201, call the Patient Summary retrieval endpoint with patient_summary_id (or use the encounter/practitioner retrieval path) to fetch the generated summary by using the following endpoints:
