## Fields

| Field | Type | Required | Format | Allowed values | Default | Nullable | Description |
|---|---|---:|---|---|---|---:|---|
| `encounter_id` | `string|null` | No |  |  |  | Yes | FHIR Encounter resource id to write the summary to. When omitted, resolves the patient's latest OPEN encounter (the same shared lookup POST /encounters/check uses) -- never creates one; a patient with no open encounter gets a 404 (call POST /encounters/check first). |
| `patient_id` | `string` | Yes |  |  |  | No | FHIR Patient resource id. |
| `text` | `string` | Yes |  |  |  | No | Raw conversation/summary text (symptoms, chief complaint, etc.) to write onto the encounter's FHIR notes and, when the encounter is Athena-linked, split via AI into Athena's Reason for Visit / Screening / HPI sections. |
