Note Templates

Build reusable templates so every session note follows the same structure.

Updated May 7, 2026

Templates standardize your clinical documentation. Stillpoint ships with SOAP and DAP templates and lets you create your own. Templates are practice-wide, so everyone on the team uses the same structure for the same kind of session.

Templates are available on Solo and above.


Built-in templates

  • SOAP Note: Subjective, Objective, Assessment, Plan.
  • DAP Note: Data, Assessment, Plan.
  • Free-form: a blank note with no sections.

When you first open the Note Templates page, Stillpoint also seeds practice-type-specific templates (massage progress note, therapy intake, naturopath consult, etc.) so you have a useful starting point.


Create a custom template

  1. Open Note Templates.
  2. Click New Template.
  3. Give it a name (e.g., "Initial Intake," "Discharge Summary").
  4. Define the sections you want:
    • Add section headings.
    • Optional placeholder prompts inside each section.
    • Drag to reorder sections.
  5. Optionally add an AI Scribe prompt that tells the model how to shape AI-generated notes for this template.
  6. Click Save Template.

Use a template

When you create a new clinical note, you're prompted to pick a template. The template pre-fills the structure so you can focus on the content instead of the format.


Manage templates

  • Edit any custom template from the templates list.
  • Duplicate a template to spin up a variation without starting over.
  • Delete templates you no longer use. Existing notes that used the template are unaffected.

Tips

  • Make a template per session type (initial consult, follow-up, discharge) rather than one giant catch-all.
  • Add prompts inside sections to remind yourself what to capture.
  • If you use AI Scribe, the per-template AI prompt is the lever that makes generated notes match your house style.
