A second note in one appointment

The Note tab holds the note Rebrief builds as you talk. It starts blank and uses no template. Sometimes you also need a note in one of your own formats, such as an operative note. You can add it as a second note in the same appointment.

Adding a note on a template

There are three ways to add one.

• Open + Create, choose Note and pick a template. You can search, or pick from Favourites, Your clinic and Rebrief.
• Click a note under Suggested for this appointment, when Rebrief offers one.
• While Rebrief is listening, say "start an operative note" or "use the extraction template". Use the name of the template you want.

Rebrief never starts a note on its own.

What happens next

A new tab opens after the Note tab, named after the template. A band on the new note reads "Writing the note from the appointment so far…".

Rebrief writes it from everything said so far. It also uses the facts already in the Note tab. If nothing has been said yet, Rebrief tells you. Select Regenerate on the new note once the visit has words.

How it differs from the Note tab

• Rebrief keeps writing the Note tab as you talk. The template note does not change by itself.
• Select Regenerate on its bar to rewrite it from the appointment so far. This works after End too.
• Its bar starts with a chip that names its template. The template cannot be changed.
• Once written, its tab has no mark while the appointment runs. After End it shows a green check.
• The medicolegal check only reviews the Note tab.

A line under its bar says when it was written. It reads like "Written at 2:32 pm from the appointment so far".

Merging it back

If you started a template note by mistake, select Merge back into one note on that line. Rebrief asks you to confirm.

• Merge moves any words you typed in this note to the Note tab. Then it removes this note.
• Keep leaves both notes as they are.

Taking it out

Open the template note's tab, then Export. The first part of the menu carries the note's name. Copy text and PDF on letterhead act on that note.

In the Rebrief desktop app, Every note pushes each of the appointment's notes in turn. It needs a plan that connects to your practice software.

Good to know

• You can add a template note after End too.
• Pressing End finishes every note in the appointment.
• Export waits for End before any note leaves the appointment.
