Make sure you are chatting to the correct Mini
Make sure you have selected the right person you are supporting
Understand what information the Mini has access to
The Mini will only be able to summarise information about the person you are supporting based on the information that is available for it to search. For example, care plans, progress notes, incidents, health records, etc.
See our System Card for more information about Minikai’s search capability.
Be specific, descriptive and as detailed as possible about the desired context, outcome, length, format, style, etc
Less effective ❌:
Write a progress note into SOAP format:
Asleep at 2000 and sleeping mostly uninterrupted throughout the night. on the 31/8 she was awake twice during the night but went back to sleep within the same hour of waking. no day time napping recorded. wakes at varied times in the mornings, 0900-1000 in the morning.
Better ✅:
I want to prepare new progress note by combing recent sleep charts with a new observation from myself.
Search for the following:
- Notes and sleep charts detailing the client's sleep quality in the past 3 days
- Any behaviours of concern during their evening routine in the past 6 months
Then, summarise and combine with my observation: Asleep at 2000 and sleeping mostly uninterrupted throughout the night. on the 31/8 she was awake twice during the night but went back to sleep within the same hour of waking. no day time napping recorded. wakes at varied times in the mornings, 0900-1000 in the morning.
Format it as a SOAP note without dot-points, like so:
S: <Subjective observation goes here>
O: <Objective observation goes here>
A: <Assessment of person's condition goes here>
P: <Plan going forward goes here>
Less effective ❌:
“Summarise mobility decline”
Better ✅:
“Summarise progress notes in the past 3 months that include details about their difficulty with transfers and the need for 2:1 support”
For time-based analysis, use specific date or time ranges
Less effective ❌:
“When was their most recent fall?” or "when did they last fall?"
Better ✅:
"Have they fallen in the past week?"
