Start with the patient context once, then layer in labs, imaging, medications, and new findings as the encounter unfolds.

One of the most powerful ways to use  Doximity Ask  is not a single upload. It is a running conversation during or immediately after a patient encounter.
 Doximity Ask  remembers everything in the current conversation thread. You do not need to re-explain the patient every time you add something new. Establish context once, then layer in information.
This pattern works because Doximity Ask carries forward everything you have shared: the patient demographics from Turn 1, the lab result from Turn 2, the clinical photo from Turn 3. By Turn 4, it has a complete picture and can synthesize across all of it. The quality of the final output reflects the quality of everything that came before.

How It Works

Turn 1  Establish the patient context: age, history, today's visit reason. Paste the nursing note or chief complaint.
Turn 2  Upload or paste the first new piece of information: a lab result, EKG, or medication list. Ask your specific question.
Turn 3  Add more without re-explaining: "She also has this on her left lower leg [upload photo]. Is this consistent with what we discussed?"
Turn 4  Ask Doximity Ask to synthesize: "Based on everything so far, write the A&P for today's note."

Real-World Example: Outpatient Follow-Up, Family Medicine

In this example, the clinician builds up the picture across four turns: demographics and vitals, labs, a physical exam finding, and then a final synthesis request. Each turn adds new information without repeating what came before.
Copy this prompt: Full mid-visit session:
Turn 1 68F follow-up for hypertension and CKD 3b. Here are today's vitals and her current med list. [paste]
Turn 2 Here are today's labs. [upload screenshot] Anything change your thinking?
Turn 3 She also has this on her left lower leg. [upload photo] What is it?
Turn 4 Write the A&P for today's note based on everything.
 Doximity Ask  produces a complete problem-based A&P incorporating all three problems, the lab finding, and the physical exam observation, in one pass.
KEY  Start a new conversation for each patient. Conversations are cumulative and powerful within a session, but context from one patient can bleed into the next if you do not start fresh.
