01Start with something you would actually use.
Choose a specialist starter, upload an existing Word or PDF document, start blank or copy a template. Keep the headings and explanations your team already relies on, then adapt the parts that change from visit to visit.
02Put the right evidence on the page.
Combine fixed practice wording, sections drafted from the visit, relevant clinical evidence and reusable images. An educational illustration explains anatomy or a procedure; the patient's chart and imaging remain the evidence for that patient's case.
03Choose its place in the workflow.
Set the intended reader and when a template is used, including exams, dictation, procedures and hygiene visits. Practice and clinician selections let the team choose the appropriate document without rebuilding its structure each time.
04Preview the result before using it.
Review the document, edit the wording and publish the version you want available for visits. Published templates and work in progress have different roles. Existing notes retain their version when a template changes.
