The Library in Noteless
The Library in Noteless allows you to reuse what you’ve already done once—whether it’s note structure, instructions, or verbal triggers. The goal is less manual work, greater consistency, and notes written the way you prefer.
You’ll find the Library at the top of the left-hand sidebar:
This article covers the three most common use cases.
1. Note structure: Create your own templates
Often, you start with a generated note that is almost right, but missing something—for example, a clear summary.
How to do it
Start from an existing template
Duplicate it and make your changes
Click Save
The next time you generate a note based on this template, the structure will automatically include your additions—without you having to write them manually every time.
Typical use cases
Concise summaries of long clinical courses
Custom sections not already covered
Adaptation to local practice or personal style
2. Instructions: Write documents your way
Sometimes Noteless does the “right” thing, but not quite in your preferred way—for example, when writing referrals.
Instead of correcting it every time, you can create an instruction in the Library.
Example: Referral
You can create an instruction that always includes:
A short summary
Clinical findings
Clinical question and requested assessment
Relevant negative findings
Treatment already attempted
Risks / contraindications
And adds:
Recipient at the top
Specific questions you want answered
Urgency level
A closing with greeting and name
How it works in practice
Type, for example: Referral ENT
Noteless applies the instruction from the Library
The result is a referral written the way you prefer—every time
3. Verbal triggers
The Library can also be used to standardize content in the note using verbal triggers.
Example: normal findings
You define once how “normal findings” should be phrased in writing
Save this as a phrase in the Library
During the consultation, you can:
Speak using medical terminology
Or use everyday language
When the note is generated, Noteless will:
Use the phrase from the Library
Write findings precisely and consistently
Dynamic phrases
Phrases can also adapt to context:
If you say “normal pupillary light reflex” → standard phrasing is used
If you say “reduced pupillary light reflex” → the phrase automatically adjusts to reflect abnormal findings
Summary
The Library in Noteless helps you:
Ensure notes are written the way you want through templates
Create instructions that control how other documents are written
Maintain consistent language with phrases and verbal triggers
All to make notes:
Faster to create
More consistent
Written the way you actually work
