What this skill does
Abridge SDK Patterns Overview Production-ready patterns for Abridge clinical AI integration. Since Abridge operates via partner APIs (not a public SDK), these patterns wrap the REST API with type-safe clients, HIPAA-compliant logging, and healthcare-specific error handling. Prerequisites Completed abridge-install-auth setup TypeScript project with strict mode enabled Understanding of HIPAA audit logging requirements Instructions Step 1: Type-Safe API Client Singleton Step 2: HIPAA-Safe Error Handler Step 3: Retry with Exponential Backoff Step 4: Session Manager Pattern Output Type-safe singleton client with audit logging HIPAA-safe error handling (no PHI in logs) Exponential backoff with Retry-After support Session lifecycle manager with state tracking Examples In a sandbox integration test, initialize the singleton from a secret-managed environment, create a session with fictional identifiers, add a short synthetic transcript, and finalize it through withRetry. Assert that the audit stream contains a correlation ID, HTTP outcome, and redacted endpoint shape—but no transcript or patient value. Then inject a synthetic 429 and confirm the retry honors its delay and stops at the configured budget. If a safe-log assertion fails, disable the integration test output upload and fix the redaction boundary before reviewing the request trace. Error Handling Pattern Use Case Benefit --------- ---------- --------- Singleton client All API calls Single source of config, consistent headers Safe error logging HIPAA compliance Prevents PHI leakage in error logs Retry with backoff Transient failures Handles 429/5xx gracefully Session manager Encounter lifecycle Tracks state, prevents orphaned sessions Resources HIPAA Security Rule Abridge Platform Next Steps Apply these patterns in abridge-core-workflow-a for real encounter processing.
