Make notes make sense for your clinic. Compare templates, general AI scribes, HEP tools and documentation built from session evidence.
Repnotes is designed for small Australian physiotherapy clinics that want exercise results, session observations and home-program activity in the same structured documentation workflow. It can also support broader allied-health teams.
Its local Interpret action routes only recognised “Repnotes, add to…” commands to supported fields; it does not generate or guess a clinical summary. The practitioner reviews and edits every field before export or configured Cliniko or Nookal transfer. See the transcription workflow and supported commands.
| Workflow category | Repnotes | PMS templates | General AI scribes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starting point for the note | Structured fields can combine recorded exercise data, observations and clinician review. | Reusable forms and manual entry in the practice system. | Typically turns dictated or typed input into a generated draft. |
| Session evidence | Exercise results, optional activity transcription and explicit command routing can be used in supported note fields. | Information is entered manually from the session and other records. | Usually centres on consultation audio, dictated text or prompts. |
| Templates and structure | Smart Note Templates provide a structured starting point for clinician-reviewed documentation. | Template structure is managed directly in the PMS. | Structure may depend on prompts, templates and review settings. |
| Exercise and goal workflow | Supports exercise programs, logged activity, goal tracking and structured review. | Usually sits alongside separate exercise and goal records. | Usually requires the clinician to provide context from other systems. |
| Clinician control | The clinician reviews, corrects and approves the final record. | The clinician completes and approves the record. | The clinician should review and approve any generated draft. |
| Transfer to the practice system | Configured Cliniko or Nookal workflows can transfer reviewed records; other systems can use exported files. | The note is already in the PMS. | Transfer commonly depends on the tool's integration or manual copy and paste. |
| Best fit | Clinics that want documentation to draw on activity and exercise-program records. | Clinics comfortable recording session information entirely in their PMS. | Clinics seeking a generated draft from spoken or typed consultation content. |
HEP tools can help practitioners prescribe exercises and give patients a way to view or log activity. Repnotes also supports exercise programs and logged activity, with the additional purpose of bringing relevant session evidence into a structured note workflow.
Practitioners can run exercises in clinic or prescribe them for home use, then review the recorded activity and their observations before completing the note. The workflow supports documentation preparation; the clinician remains responsible for the record and its use.
