'Heidi Rules' for Persistent Context and Writing Style
O
Orange Van
I wanted to suggest a possible feature that I think would help with consistency. I suppose the core idea is to have a system of customisable, persistent rules, inspired by the Rules feature in Cursor.
Cursor allows coders to create a text file containing global or context-specific instructions for the AI. These provide persistent context for each generation, ensuring the AI e.g. adheres to specific coding standards, uses certain libraries, or maintains a particular style. It's a good way to automate consistency.
Currently, you have to include writing styles/rules in each template, and update individual templates if wanting to make wider reaching changes. Heidi could use a similar system allowing clinicians to define a set of persistent rules that guide the AI's output across notes and documents. This is flexible The UI could be an evolution of the current 'Replacements' feature, with a similarly simple interface.
Here’s how it could be structured with multiple levels of control:
- Global Rules: A top-level rule set applying to all output, defining the core writing style/terminology.
Examples:
Use UK English spelling. Maintain a formal tone.
Refer to our local Paediatrics service as 'The Children's Centre'.
Always use the phrase 'Attend A&E if...'.
Category-Specific Rules: Separate instructions for different document types, recognising that notes and letters have different requirements.
- Template rules would be in addition to and override these rules, similar to the current Customise style section.
