Rai/Binet CLL Staging
Stages chronic lymphocytic leukemia to guide treatment timing and prognosis
- Highest activation tier
- Mandatory
- How it is scored
- Scored in code; a stated value is compared only from the structured summary or a supplied value
- Scoring type
- classification
- Care settings
- Inpatient, Outpatient
When it activates
Scribeable activates a calculator from the encounter. The Rai/Binet CLL Staging can activate when the transcript or pasted chart context documents any of these:
- CLL staging
- Chronic lymphocytic leukemia prognosis
- CLL treatment timing
A coded diagnosis can also activate it. ICD-10 prefixes carried by the registry: C91.1.
Inputs the note needs
2 inputs. Each is resolved from the transcript, the pasted chart context and charted labs; an input marked "asks you" is requested as a clarification when it is undocumented.
| Input | Type | Unit / options | Guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rai stage (0-4) | history | ||
| Binet stage (A, B, or C)optional | history |
Scoring
Rai: 0=lymphocytosis only, I=+lymphadenopathy, II=+splenomegaly/hepatomegaly, III=+anemia (Hb<11), IV=+thrombocytopenia (<100k). Binet: A (<3 areas), B (≥3 areas), C (anemia/thrombocytopenia).
Interpretation
Rai 0: Low risk — watch and wait. Rai I-II: Intermediate risk — monitor, treat if symptomatic. Rai III-IV: High risk — treatment generally indicated.

How Scribeable handles it in the note
When an encounter activates the Rai/Binet CLL Staging at the mandatory tier, Scribeable resolves its inputs from the transcript, the pasted chart context and any charted labs, and asks you for a missing input you can supply before the note is finalised. Bedside-exam and separately ordered study values are not requested one input at a time; a calculator that carries a combined clarification question may still put that single question to you.
The score is computed in code from the resolved inputs, not recalled by the language model. A stated Rai/Binet CLL Staging value is compared against the computed one when the draft's structured summary carries it; a disagreement found there is flagged to the second drafting pass, which is instructed to correct the score and its interpretation, unless Scribeable has supplied the computed value to that pass, in which case the value the draft writes is checked against the supplied one and a detected difference is shown beside the note for you to adjudicate rather than silently rewritten.
Classified as a staging or classification system: activated strictly, because a wrong stage on the wrong patient is a documentation hazard.
