What treatment note templates are
Treatment Note Templates give your clinic a reusable structure for documenting patient visits, so staff aren't writing the same headings and prompts from scratch every time. You define the templates once here, and staff pick from them when adding a note to a patient's record.
What you'll learn

- How to create, edit, and remove a template
- Where templates are used from
The Treatment Note Templates settings page showing a list of saved templates with edit and remove actions.
Creating a template
1
Open Treatment Note Templates
Go to <strong>Settings > Treatment Note Templates</strong>.
2
Add a new template
Start a new template and give it a clear, descriptive name so staff can find it quickly when starting a note.
3
Define the structure
Set up the sections and prompts you want staff to fill in for this type of note.
4
Save
Save the template to make it available when staff document a visit.
Editing and removing templates
- Open an existing template from the list to change its name or structure.
- Remove a template you no longer need from the same list.
Existing notes aren't affected Changing or removing a template only affects new notes started from it going forward — notes already written from that template keep their content as saved.
Where templates are used
Templates you build here show up when staff add a new note from a patient's Notes tab, letting them start from a consistent structure instead of a blank page.

Frequently asked questions
Templates are there to speed up documentation, but the Notes tab is where all notes live regardless of whether a template was used to start them.
You can create as many templates as your clinic needs, such as one per visit type or practitioner specialty.
