Want to tailor your note templates to your own workflow? Here's how to duplicate an existing template and make it your own โ€” whether itโ€™s one provided by the system or one your team already created.

Step-by-Step: Copying a template

  • Navigate to 'Settings' and select 'Templates' and 'Notes'.

  • Browse the list to locate the template you'd like to customise.

  • Click on the template name to open it in preview/edit mode.

  • Copy the text from the 'Note' section.

  • Click on 'New note' in the top right.

  • Give the duplicated template a new name so you can easily identify it later.

  • Make your edits as needed - Adjust sections, brackets, bullet points, and fixed text as needed. Use the clinical notes best practice guide to structure your template for the best results when using clinical AI notes.

  • Click 'Save' to add it to your account templates. Itโ€™s now ready to use and share with your team if needed.


Why copy instead of starting from scratch?

Starting from an existing template gives you:

  • A reliable base structure

  • Built-in formatting for AI use

  • Less chance of missing key sections

  • Faster setup


Tips for editing templates for clinical AI notes

  • Use clear headings (e.g. Chief Complaint)

  • Include bracketed options (e.g. [None / Mild / Severe])

  • Add bullet points or numbering for lists

  • Write recurring phrases exactly how you want them to appear
