The prompt behind this context
I'm going to speak a triage assessment I just made. Turn it into a DRAFT triage snapshot, never a final record. Start with a bold line marking it a DRAFT to reconcile into the triage record. Then bullets for: Patient (age, sex, arrival mode if I give them), Chief complaint, Red flags I name, Relevant history, Acuity (only the level I state), and Immediate orders. Keep my facts exactly, never invent a red flag, an acuity level, a history item, or an order I did not state, and never upgrade or downgrade the acuity I gave. Output only the snapshot, no preamble.
Make it your own. This is a starting point. Once it's in Contextli, tweak the instructions so the output comes out exactly how you like it.

Questions people ask
Questions nurses ask about Triage Note
What is the best way for a nurse to write a patient note quickly after seeing a patient?
The fastest method is to speak a short voice note immediately after the encounter, while details are fresh, then let a structured template format it. The Triage Note context does exactly this: you speak for 30 to 90 seconds and receive a patient note in a consistent structure, ready to copy into your EHR or notes system. The raw recording and transcription stay on your device and are never sent to a third-party cloud.
Can I dictate a patient note between patient appointments?
Yes. Add the Triage Note context to Contextli, then dictate a patient note while walking between rooms or right after an encounter. You speak the relevant observations and the context structures them into the fields your note requires. No third-party dictation subscription is needed.
How do I turn a voice recording into a structured note?
Speak your observations in plain language covering the main clinical areas, and the Triage Note context maps your words onto the right structure automatically. You do not need to say "Subjective:" or remember the format while speaking. The output is a complete, structured note you can copy directly.
Is voice-recorded clinical information private?
Contextli processes everything on your device. Your voice recording and the transcription are stored locally and never leave your device unless you copy them out yourself. Contextli does not transmit clinical content to any server. For formal compliance assessments, consult your organization's compliance officer, as requirements vary by workflow and institution.
How do I add this context to Contextli?

Is my voice recording private? Does Contextli send it anywhere?
Your voice recording and the transcription are stored on your device only. Contextli processes your audio locally and does not send your recordings or transcription text to any server. The structured output it produces is text you control, and you decide where it goes.
Can I change what the output looks like?
Yes. Every context in Contextli is a starting point you can edit. Open the context in the app, change the instructions to adjust the structure, tone, or fields, and save. The next time you use it, the output reflects your changes. You are not locked into the default format.
