Right now the only way to reference prior content is by manually pasting the previous note or parts of it into the “context” field, which defeats the purpose of using Heidi for efficiency and adds unnecessary time. Instead, there should be an option for Heidi to carry forward the previous note (or selected sections like Plan, Medications, Assessment) and then automatically modify them based on updates from the current visit. If nothing has changed, Heidi should leave the section unchanged; if there are updates, Heidi should incorporate only those changes. This avoids generating sections from scratch, maintains continuity of care, and aligns with how most EMRs allow plans, meds, and other elements to be carried forward directly. Not having this capability is a major limitation that needs to be addressed.
