Pasting clinical notes into Doximity Ask is a straightforward workflow, and one where context makes the biggest difference.
Doximity Ask can only work with what you give it. If you paste a nursing note and ask for an A&P, the output reflects that note and nothing more. Your job is to add the clinical context that is not in the nursing note.
Nursing notes describe what happened. Your prompt needs to tell Doximity Ask what it means and what you are planning to do about it. Think of it as a brief handoff: here is the situation, here is my thinking, now write the note.

Always Include Alongside Your Pasted Note

  • The active problem list (or the 2 to 3 problems you are managing today)
  • Your management direction, even roughly: "CHF, still volume overloaded, plan to increase Lasix"
  • The note format you want: SOAP, problem-based A&P, hospitalist style, attending attestation

Progress Note from Pasted EMR Data

Give Doximity Ask the nursing note, your active problem list, and one line of management direction per problem. It will return a structured attending-style note ready to copy into your EMR.
Copy this prompt: Progress note from pasted EMR data:
Write a concise attending-style progress note based on the following nursing note. Use a problem-based A&P. Flag any abnormal vitals or labs in the objective section.Active problems: [list]My plan direction: [one line per problem][Paste nursing note here]

A&P Completeness Check

The A&P completeness check is useful when you have drafted a plan but want a second pass before signing. Doximity Ask will compare your draft against the problem list and flag gaps.
Copy this prompt: A&P completeness check:
This is my draft A&P. Review it for completeness based on the active problem list below. Are there any problems missing a plan? What would an attending want added?Active problem list: [list][Paste A&P draft here]

Multi-Note Synthesis

The multi-note synthesis prompt is designed for complex patients where relevant information is spread across multiple providers. Label each note clearly so Doximity Ask knows the source.
Copy this prompt: Multi-note synthesis:
I have three notes from today: a nursing note, a pharmacy renal dose adjustment note, and a cardiology consult. Synthesize all three into a single attending-level progress note. Where sources conflict, flag it so I can resolve it. Format as problem-based A&P.NURSING NOTE: [paste]PHARMACY NOTE: [paste]CARDIOLOGY CONSULT: [paste]
TIP  The multi-note synthesis workflow is especially useful on complex patients, pulling a nursing note, pharmacy note, and consult into one coherent A&P in a single prompt.
