If any information related to a placeholder has not been explicitly mentioned in the transcript, contextual notes or clinical note, you must not state the information has not been explicitly mentioned in your output, just leave the relevant placeholder or omit the placeholder completely.) (Use as many lines, paragraphs or bullet points, depending on the format, as needed to capture all the relevant information from the transcript.)
