Save a note template

Open in Soap NotesSettings › TemplatesStandard plan and above

If your notes follow the same shape every time, and most clinical notes do, a template turns the blank page into a filled-in skeleton. It is a small change that pays back several times a day, and it makes notes written by different people in the same practice look like they came from the same practice.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Open Settings, then Templates

    Create a template and give it a name you will recognise in a dropdown at four in the afternoon.

  2. 2

    Write the structure, not the content

    Headings, prompts and anything you genuinely write every time. Leave out anything you would have to delete more often than keep.

  3. 3

    Apply it from a session note

    Templates are picked from inside the note editor, so you can choose a different one per session without changing any setting.
