Clinical note templates tell CoTreat how to write your notes after each appointment: in the layout, order and shortform you already use, ready to copy into your practice management system. Every template starts as a copy of CoTreat's Clinical note template. You can then paste in one of our example templates below, or write your own.
The examples are a starting point. Use them as they are, change them to suit how you write, or build your own from scratch inside the blue box.

How Clinical Note Templates Work
You don't write the note yourself. You write short instructions, and CoTreat uses them to write each patient's note from the appointment.
- Tell CoTreat how it should read: the grey box at the top. Describe the style you want. It applies to the whole note.
- Tell CoTreat what to write here: the blue boxes. These tell CoTreat what goes in the note and in what order.
- Headings: section titles, such as Findings or Plan / Follow-up.
CoTreat's Clinical note template comes with a title instruction and two headings. For dental notes, we recommend using one blue box with no headings. Most clinical notes are written line by line in shortform, and a single blue box keeps your note in exactly the layout you set.
Adding/Copying a Clinical Note Template
There are a few ways to add a template in CoTreat, such as describing what you want and letting CoTreat build it. We recommend copying CoTreat’s Clinical note template and editing it. It’s the quickest way to get a template that works well, and you can paste in one of our examples below.
- Go to Create and click Create new template.
- Select Copy an existing template.
- On the left, under From CoTreat, select Clinical note. A preview appears on the right.
- Click Copy and edit. This makes your own copy, and the original stays as it is.
- Give your template a name that matches the appointment type, e.g. New Patient Exam.
Make one template per appointment type, such as a new patient exam, a filling or an extraction. Copy CoTreat's Clinical note template each time you start a new one.
Setting Up Your Note in One Instruction
- Remove the headings: click into the Findings heading and press backspace until it's deleted. Do the same for Plan / Follow-up.
- Remove the extra blue boxes: hover over each blue box that sat under those headings and click the bin icon on the right.
- Clear the first blue box: click inside the blue box that's left, highlight all the text, and delete it.
- Paste your template: copy one of the Example Clinical Note Templates below (or your own) and paste it into the blue box.
You should now have the grey "how it should read" box at the top, and one blue box underneath with your whole template in it.
Setting the Tone
In Tell CoTreat how it should read, paste the line below. It reminds CoTreat that the note goes straight into your practice management system.
You write a clinical note from an appointment transcript using the layout below. The note is copied straight into the practice management system, so it must be short, plain and in this exact layout.
Making the Template Your Own
Each example template has the same parts. Here's what each part does and what you can change.
- RULES: how CoTreat writes the note, e.g. only what was said, shortform, no guessing. We recommend leaving these as they are.
- ABBREVIATIONS: the shortform CoTreat can use. Add or remove any to match how your practice writes.
- FORMAT EXAMPLE: shows the style of the finished note. CoTreat never copies it into the note.
- LAYOUT: the lines in your note, in order. This is the part you'll change most.
- PRESCRIPTION REFERENCE: Change these to match what your practice uses.
Changing the layout
- Each line is one part of your note. The label is in bold with a colon, e.g. **LA:**
- [REQ] means the line always appears. If it wasn't covered in the appointment, CoTreat writes [not stated] so you know to check it.
- Lines without [REQ] only appear if they were mentioned.
- Words in brackets are hints to help CoTreat, not text that goes into the note.
- To add a line: copy a similar line, paste it where you want it, then change the label and hint.
- To remove a line: delete the whole line.
- To change the order: move the lines into the order you write your notes.
Check the abbreviations and references and change them to match your own before you start using the template.
Test your template on a recent appointment and compare the note with how you'd normally write it. Change one thing at a time so you can see what made the difference.
Saving Your Template
- Click Preview to check how your template looks.
- Choose your settings at the bottom of the editor:
- Share with practice: when on, everyone at your practice can use this template. When off, only you can.
- Patient facing: leave this off for clinical notes. Clinical notes stay with the practice.
- Click Add template. If you're editing a template you've already added, this button says Save instead.
Example Clinical Note Templates
Copy the whole template for the appointment type you need and paste it into your blue box. Each one is complete on its own, so you only need one per template.

Examples in the layout are vocabulary hints only, never defaults.
2. No headings, titles, bullet points, dashes, numbered lists, tables or summaries. Plain lines only, one field per line, in the order shown. Single line break between lines, no blank lines.
3. Start every line with its label in bold followed by a colon, e.g. **LA:** Topical + 2.2ml lignocaine 2% 1:80k B infil. Bold the label only, nothing else.

RULES
1. Record ONLY what is said or clearly confirmed in the transcript. Do not add any step, material, finding, warning, consent, instruction, product, drug, dose or outcome that was not mentioned, even if it is standard for this procedure. Examples in the layout are vocabulary hints only, never defaults.
2. No headings, titles, bullet points, dashes, numbered lists, tables or summaries. Plain lines only, one field per line, in the order shown. Single line break between lines, no blank lines.
3. Start every line with its label in bold followed by a colon, e.g. **LA:** Topical + 2.2ml lignocaine 2% 1:80k B infil. Bold the label only, nothing else.
4. Write in shortform like a dentist: short phrases separated by commas, no full sentences, no filler words. Use standard abbreviations (list below). FDI tooth numbering (e.g. 36). Australian spelling.
5. Lines marked [REQ] must always appear. If the transcript doesn't cover it, write the label followed by [not stated].
6. All other lines are optional. Include them only if mentioned. If not mentioned, leave the whole line out (no empty labels, no "N/A", no "not discussed").
7. Never guess. If anything is unclear, inaudible, contradictory or only partly heard (tooth number, dose, volume, shade, file size, length, material, units), write what you heard followed by [unclear: say exactly what is unclear], e.g. **Tx:** 36 or 37 [unclear: tooth number, both mentioned] or **LA:** 1 or 2 carpules lignocaine [unclear: number of carpules].
8. Output the note only. No intro, explanation or closing text. Never copy the [REQ] markers, the hints in brackets or the example below into the note.
