# 🔧 Fix: Clinical Variables Now Passed to All Agent Types ## Problem Discovered After implementing patient cards and clinical assessment variables, **ClinicoPilot** (and other agents) were not receiving the clinical data from the UI fields. ### Symptoms: ``` User Action: 1. Select ClinicoPilot agent 2. Click Patient Card 4 (travel fever case) 3. Clinical variables populate with patient data 4. Ask: "what is the differential diagnosis work up and treatment?" Agent Response: 🔔 Tool history_taking invoked "I need some details before I can give a focused differential..." ``` The agent was **asking for information that was already provided** in the clinical variables! --- ## Root Cause The `chatpanel_handle_with_dynamic_vars` function was only accepting and processing: - ✅ **Stewardship variables** (deescalation_culture, deescalation_meds, etc.) - ✅ **Empiric therapy variables** (empiric_age, empiric_allergies, etc.) - ❌ **IPC variables** (ipc_facility_name, ipc_location, etc.) - **MISSING** - ❌ **Clinical assessment variables** (clinical_chief_complaint, clinical_history_present, etc.) - **MISSING** - ❌ **Orchestrator variables** (orchestrator_culture, orchestrator_meds, etc.) - **MISSING** ### Code Evidence: **Function Signature (Before Fix):** ```python def chatpanel_handle_with_dynamic_vars( agent_name, user_text, histories, deescalation_culture, deescalation_meds, stewardship_site, stewardship_biofilm, stewardship_response, stewardship_crcl, stewardship_severity, stewardship_allergies, empiric_age, empiric_allergies, empiric_labs, empiric_culture, empiric_meds, empiric_site, empiric_biofilm, empiric_response, empiric_crcl, empiric_severity, request: gr.Request # ❌ IPC, Clinical, and Orchestrator variables missing! ): ``` **chat_send.click Inputs (Before Fix):** ```python chat_send.click( fn=chatpanel_handle_with_dynamic_vars, inputs=[ agent_picker, chat_panel_input, deployed_chat_histories, deescalation_culture, deescalation_meds, stewardship_site, stewardship_biofilm, stewardship_response, stewardship_crcl, stewardship_severity, stewardship_allergies, empiric_age, empiric_allergies, empiric_labs, empiric_culture, empiric_meds, empiric_site, empiric_biofilm, empiric_response, empiric_crcl, empiric_severity # ❌ IPC, Clinical, and Orchestrator variables NOT passed! ], outputs=[chat_view, deployed_chat_histories, chat_panel_input] ) ``` **Variable Extraction Logic (Before Fix):** ```python if "recommend_deescalation" in skills: # ✅ Stewardship variables processed user_vars = {...} user_text = f"[DEESCALATION_TOOL_INPUT] {json.dumps(user_vars)}\n" + user_text elif "recommend_empiric_therapy" in skills: # ✅ Empiric therapy variables processed user_vars = {...} user_text = f"[EMPIRIC_THERAPY_INPUT] {json.dumps(user_vars)}\n" + user_text # ❌ No logic for clinical assessment skills (history_taking, retrieve_guidelines) # ❌ No logic for orchestrator agents ``` --- ## Solution ### 1. Updated Function Signature Added **IPC variables (9 fields), Clinical variables (10 fields), and Orchestrator variables (27 fields)** as parameters: ```python def chatpanel_handle_with_dynamic_vars( agent_name, user_text, histories, deescalation_culture, deescalation_meds, stewardship_site, stewardship_biofilm, stewardship_response, stewardship_crcl, stewardship_severity, stewardship_allergies, empiric_age, empiric_allergies, empiric_labs, empiric_culture, empiric_meds, empiric_site, empiric_biofilm, empiric_response, empiric_crcl, empiric_severity, # ✅ IPC variables (9 fields) ipc_facility_name, ipc_location, ipc_infection_type, ipc_onset_date, ipc_device_days, ipc_pathogen, ipc_resistance_pattern, ipc_isolation_status, ipc_compliance_issues, # ✅ Clinical assessment variables (10 fields) clinical_chief_complaint, clinical_history_present, clinical_past_medical, clinical_medications, clinical_allergies, clinical_social_history, clinical_vital_signs, clinical_physical_exam, clinical_lab_results, clinical_imaging, # ✅ Orchestrator variables (27 fields: 8 stewardship + 9 IPC + 10 clinical) orchestrator_culture, orchestrator_meds, orchestrator_site, orchestrator_biofilm, orchestrator_response, orchestrator_crcl, orchestrator_severity, orchestrator_allergies, orchestrator_facility_name, orchestrator_location, orchestrator_infection_type, orchestrator_onset_date, orchestrator_device_days, orchestrator_pathogen, orchestrator_resistance_pattern, orchestrator_isolation_status, orchestrator_compliance_issues, orchestrator_chief_complaint, orchestrator_history_present, orchestrator_past_medical, orchestrator_medications, orchestrator_patient_allergies, orchestrator_social_history, orchestrator_vital_signs, orchestrator_physical_exam, orchestrator_lab_results, orchestrator_imaging, request: gr.Request ): ``` ### 2. Added Clinical Assessment Variable Extraction Added logic to prepend clinical data for agents with `history_taking`, `retrieve_guidelines`, or `explain_in_layman_language` skills: ```python # Clinical assessment tools (history_taking, retrieve_guidelines, explain_in_layman_language) elif "history_taking" in skills or "retrieve_guidelines" in skills or "explain_in_layman_language" in skills: var_names = [ "chief_complaint", "history_present_illness", "past_medical_history", "medications", "allergies", "social_history", "vital_signs", "physical_exam", "lab_results", "imaging_results" ] user_vars = { "chief_complaint": clinical_chief_complaint, "history_present_illness": clinical_history_present, "past_medical_history": clinical_past_medical, "medications": clinical_medications, "allergies": clinical_allergies, "social_history": clinical_social_history, "vital_signs": clinical_vital_signs, "physical_exam": clinical_physical_exam, "lab_results": clinical_lab_results, "imaging_results": clinical_imaging } extracted = extract_clinical_variables_from_history(history, var_names) for k in var_names: if not user_vars[k]: user_vars[k] = extracted.get(k) or "" # Prepend clinical data if at least one field is non-empty if any(user_vars[k] for k in var_names): user_text = f"[CLINICAL_ASSESSMENT_INPUT] {json.dumps(user_vars)}\n" + user_text ``` ### 3. Added Orchestrator Variable Extraction Orchestrators get **ALL clinical context** (stewardship + IPC + clinical variables): ```python # Orchestrator agents - provide all clinical context elif agent_data.get("agent_type", "").startswith("🎼 Orchestrator"): # Orchestrator gets ALL clinical variables for comprehensive context user_vars = { # Stewardship variables (8 fields) "culture_results": orchestrator_culture, "current_medications": orchestrator_meds, "site_of_infection": orchestrator_site, "risk_of_biofilm": orchestrator_biofilm, "current_response": orchestrator_response, "creatinine_clearance": orchestrator_crcl, "severity_of_infection": orchestrator_severity, "known_allergies": orchestrator_allergies, # IPC variables (9 fields) "facility_name": orchestrator_facility_name, "location_unit": orchestrator_location, "infection_type": orchestrator_infection_type, "onset_date": orchestrator_onset_date, "device_days": orchestrator_device_days, "pathogen": orchestrator_pathogen, "resistance_pattern": orchestrator_resistance_pattern, "isolation_status": orchestrator_isolation_status, "compliance_issues": orchestrator_compliance_issues, # Clinical assessment variables (10 fields) "chief_complaint": orchestrator_chief_complaint, "history_present_illness": orchestrator_history_present, "past_medical_history": orchestrator_past_medical, "medications": orchestrator_medications, "patient_allergies": orchestrator_patient_allergies, "social_history": orchestrator_social_history, "vital_signs": orchestrator_vital_signs, "physical_exam": orchestrator_physical_exam, "lab_results": orchestrator_lab_results, "imaging_results": orchestrator_imaging } # Prepend orchestrator context if at least one field is non-empty if any(user_vars[k] for k in user_vars): user_text = f"[ORCHESTRATOR_CONTEXT] {json.dumps(user_vars)}\n" + user_text ``` ### 4. Updated chat_send.click Inputs Passed **ALL variables** to the function: ```python chat_send.click( fn=chatpanel_handle_with_dynamic_vars, inputs=[ agent_picker, chat_panel_input, deployed_chat_histories, deescalation_culture, deescalation_meds, stewardship_site, stewardship_biofilm, stewardship_response, stewardship_crcl, stewardship_severity, stewardship_allergies, empiric_age, empiric_allergies, empiric_labs, empiric_culture, empiric_meds, empiric_site, empiric_biofilm, empiric_response, empiric_crcl, empiric_severity, # ✅ IPC variables ipc_facility_name, ipc_location, ipc_infection_type, ipc_onset_date, ipc_device_days, ipc_pathogen, ipc_resistance_pattern, ipc_isolation_status, ipc_compliance_issues, # ✅ Clinical variables clinical_chief_complaint, clinical_history_present, clinical_past_medical, clinical_medications, clinical_allergies, clinical_social_history, clinical_vital_signs, clinical_physical_exam, clinical_lab_results, clinical_imaging, # ✅ Orchestrator variables orchestrator_culture, orchestrator_meds, orchestrator_site, orchestrator_biofilm, orchestrator_response, orchestrator_crcl, orchestrator_severity, orchestrator_allergies, orchestrator_facility_name, orchestrator_location, orchestrator_infection_type, orchestrator_onset_date, orchestrator_device_days, orchestrator_pathogen, orchestrator_resistance_pattern, orchestrator_isolation_status, orchestrator_compliance_issues, orchestrator_chief_complaint, orchestrator_history_present, orchestrator_past_medical, orchestrator_medications, orchestrator_patient_allergies, orchestrator_social_history, orchestrator_vital_signs, orchestrator_physical_exam, orchestrator_lab_results, orchestrator_imaging ], outputs=[chat_view, deployed_chat_histories, chat_panel_input] ) ``` --- ## Testing Workflow ### Test 1: Clinical Agent (ClinicoPilot) 1. **Create ClinicoPilot** (or use existing) - Agent Type: Clinical Assistant - Skills: `history_taking`, `retrieve_guidelines` 2. **Select ClinicoPilot** from agent dropdown 3. **Verify Clinical Variables Section Visible** - "Clinical Assessment Variables" accordion should appear 4. **Click Patient Card 4** (Travel Fever Case) - Chief Complaint: "Fever, headache, and muscle aches..." - History: "Recently returned from Southeast Asia..." - All clinical fields populate 5. **Ask Question**: ``` "What is the differential diagnosis workup and treatment?" ``` 6. **Expected Result**: ✅ Agent receives clinical context and provides targeted response WITHOUT asking for details already provided ### Test 2: Orchestrator Agent (ID Maestro) 1. **Create Orchestrator + Subagents** - Orchestrator: ID Maestro - Subagents: SmartSteward, InfectoGuard, ClinicoPilot 2. **Select ID Maestro** from agent dropdown 3. **Verify Orchestrator Variables Section Visible** - "Multi-Agent Coordination Variables" accordion should appear 4. **Click Patient Card 6** (Complex Multi-Agent Case) - All 27 orchestrator fields populate 5. **Ask Question**: ``` "Please coordinate a comprehensive assessment and management plan" ``` 6. **Expected Result**: ✅ Orchestrator receives full clinical context and passes relevant portions to subagents ### Test 3: IPC Agent (InfectoGuard) 1. **Create InfectoGuard** (if not exists) - Agent Type: Infection Preventionist - Skills: `IPC_reporting`, `NHSN_criteria_evaluator` 2. **Select InfectoGuard** from dropdown 3. **Click Patient Card 2** (CLABSI Case) - IPC fields populate with facility, pathogen, etc. 4. **Ask Question**: ``` "Evaluate NHSN criteria and recommend isolation precautions" ``` 5. **Expected Result**: ✅ Agent receives IPC variables and uses them in analysis --- ## Variable Summary by Agent Type | Agent Type | Variables Received | Prepend Tag | Trigger Condition | |------------|-------------------|-------------|-------------------| | **Stewardship Agents** | 8 stewardship fields | `[DEESCALATION_TOOL_INPUT]` | Has `recommend_deescalation` skill | | **Empiric Therapy Agents** | 10 empiric therapy fields | `[EMPIRIC_THERAPY_INPUT]` | Has `recommend_empiric_therapy` skill | | **Clinical Agents** | 10 clinical assessment fields | `[CLINICAL_ASSESSMENT_INPUT]` | Has `history_taking`, `retrieve_guidelines`, or `explain_in_layman_language` skill | | **Orchestrator Agents** | ALL 27 fields (8 + 9 + 10) | `[ORCHESTRATOR_CONTEXT]` | Agent type contains "🎼 Orchestrator" | | **IPC Agents** | 9 IPC fields | *(Currently via IPC reporting logic)* | Has `IPC_reporting` skill | --- ## Files Changed | File | Changes | Lines | |------|---------|-------| | `app.py` | Added IPC, Clinical, and Orchestrator parameters to `chatpanel_handle_with_dynamic_vars` | +3 lines | | `app.py` | Added clinical assessment variable extraction logic | +28 lines | | `app.py` | Added orchestrator variable extraction logic | +43 lines | | `app.py` | Updated `chat_send.click` inputs to include all variables | +3 lines | | **Total** | **+77 lines** | | --- ## Commit Information **Commit Message:** ``` Fix: Clinical variables now passed to all agent types -
