Until now, each visit in Freed has started as a blank slate — which meant clinicians often spent time manually re-adding patient history, summaries of prior visits, or problem lists to keep documentation complete and clinically relevant.
The new Patient Context feature changes that. It gives clinicians the option to incorporate relevant patient history into new notes automatically, improving efficiency, continuity, and overall documentation quality.
What Is Patient Context?
Patient Context enables you to include additional information about your patient like their demographics, reason for visit, or past medical history directly into their current note.
How to Use Patient Context
You have complete control over the information included in patient context. Even if you choose to include patient context before starting a visit, you have the option to remove patient context after, when editing the note.
For Existing Patients
Freed automatically generates a patient summary based on their prior notes, visits, and problems. The summary includes key information (e.g., ongoing conditions, prior plans, recent changes).
You can review and edit this context at any time.
Please note that patient context is only pre-generated for patients that already have at least one note in your Freed account. If you have deleted a patient's previous note, patient context will not be automatically generated, but can be entered manually.
For New Patients
You can manually add patient context and background information (e.g., age, medical history, reason for visit) before starting the visit.
After the Note is Generated
Patient context is automatically incorporated into your note. However, if after reviewing the note you would like to remove the patient context, you can click the Remove Context button in the right-hand menu.
If you want to add the patient context back into the note, the same button turns into the Add Patient Context button. Click the button to regenerate the note to include the patient context.
Summary
Patient Context helps clinicians create more complete and clinically relevant notes by carrying forward meaningful history from past visits.
Whether you're seeing a new patient or following up months later, this feature saves time, reduces documentation gaps, and helps make Freed a more intelligent and context-aware tool.
You can turn context on or off with a click — and trust that your notes will reflect the patient’s story, not just the moment.
