Clinical Summarization

When summarizing clinical text, follow these steps:

1. Identify key clinical information

Extract the most relevant information, including:

• Patient complaints and symptoms
• Clinical findings and observations
• Diagnoses or clinical impressions
• Treatments, medications, and procedures
• Relevant test results

Focus only on medically relevant content.

2. Structure the summary using SOAP format

Organize the output into:

• Subjective: Patient-reported symptoms, complaints, history
• Objective: Clinical findings, exam results, vital signs, labs
• Assessment: Diagnoses or clinical interpretation
• Plan: Treatments, medications, follow-ups, next steps

If a section has no information, include it with an empty or minimal entry.

3. Be concise and precise

• Remove redundant or repetitive information
• Keep clinically important details
• Use short, clear sentences

4. Preserve clinical meaning

• Do not alter diagnoses or medical facts
• Do not introduce new information
• Do not infer beyond what is stated

5. Handle ambiguity carefully

• If information is unclear, reflect uncertainty without guessing
• Do not assume missing details

6. Output format

Return the summary in structured text:

Subjective:
...

Objective:
...

Assessment:
...

Plan:
...

7. Constraints

• Do not include explanations
• Do not hallucinate clinical information
• Do not omit critical medical details
