Note Dr listens to the session as it happens. While you examine the joints, talk through joint protection and agree goals, it writes the record in the background, so your hands stay on the patient and your eyes stay off the keyboard.
Clinical reasoning on record
Why you graded the programme to the flare and how you weighed activity against joint protection, captured as you reason aloud, not reconstructed later.
Joint-protection advice recorded
The joint-protection and pacing advice you gave, and that the patient understood it, the safety advice an inflammatory caseload turns on.
Outcome measures captured
The validated measures you took, the HAQ, grip and pain scores, the very elements audits show go missing most across a rehab episode.
A reviewed Note Dr record captures more of what a record needs to stand up to scrutiny, joint assessment, reasoning, joint protection, goals and outcomes, where published audits show conventional physiotherapy records routinely fall short.
Audits referenced: Turner et al (Physiotherapy Theory and Practice, 1999), Sumner et al (Physiotherapy, 2000), O'Donovan et al (Physiotherapy Canada, 2017) and Paim et al (Disability and Rehabilitation, 2022).
Ask what the joints looked like last time, the goals you set, or the joint-protection advice you gave, answered in seconds from their own record.
Walk into the review already knowing the story, without trawling the notes.
When a presentation calls for it, Note Dr surfaces the published guidance rheumatology physiotherapists work to, from the CSP record-keeping and outcome-measure guidance to NICE rheumatoid and osteoarthritis advice and inflammatory red-flag screening, with the source shown. It never tells you how to treat your patient; that judgement stays with you.

Why rheumatology physiotherapists trust Note Dr with a record that stands up to scrutiny.
★★★★★
Joint protection finally documented
Joint-protection advice was always given but rarely written down. Now exactly what I advised, and that the patient understood it, is in every note. On an inflammatory caseload that is precisely where my exposure sat.
★★★★★
HAQ and grip, never skipped
The HAQ and grip strength were the first things to slip when a flare clinic ran late. Note Dr captures the baseline measure every visit, so my notes finally show the function I set out to protect and track.
★★★★★
Flares, fully captured
Flares move fast and the detail used to get lost. Now how the joints looked, how I paced the programme and why is all on record the moment it happens, not reconstructed from memory at the end of clinic.
★★★★★
Shared care made easy
Liaising with the rheumatology team used to mean rewriting half the note. Now the assessment, outcome measures and flare plan are already there to copy across, so shared care actually reflects what I found.
★★★★★
Calmest audit we've had
Contemporaneous records across the team, with joint protection, goals and outcome measures on every flare and review. Our last CSP-standards audit was the smoothest we have run, the notes already told the whole story.
Every recording and record is protected by strong, independently assessed security and encryption.
★★★★★
Across an inflammatory caseload, new assessments, flares and discharges, every record now reads to the same standard, with the joint protection, reasoning and outcome measures that used to vanish when clinic was busy. My notes finally match the work I actually do.

Yes, Note Dr offers a free plan for physiotherapists, including rheumatology caseloads. It drafts your joint assessment, joint-protection advice and outcome measures such as the HAQ and grip strength into a structured note, capturing flares and reviews as they happen. You review and approve every note before it is saved, and no card is needed to start.
Yes, Note Dr drafts your rheumatology physiotherapy notes in a structured format, including SOAP, capturing the subjective history and disease status, the joint examination and grip strength, your clinical reasoning, and the joint-protection plan and goals. You can build a template once for the records you write often, and every note is reviewed and approved by you before saving.
Note Dr works without EHR or practice-management integration. It drafts your rheumatology physiotherapy note, and you copy or export the approved record into whatever system you already use, so joint assessments, joint-protection advice and outcome measures flow into your existing records with no new integration to set up or maintain.
Yes, Note Dr captures your assessment across inflammatory presentations, including psoriatic arthritis, axial spondyloarthritis and connective-tissue disease, as well as osteoarthritis. It records the joint or spinal examination, functional impact, your clinical reasoning and the outcome measures you take, from the HAQ to grip strength, ready for you to review and approve.
Yes. As you call out synovitis, grip strength, range and the functional impact, and reason toward an impression aloud, Note Dr records your joint examination, the functional picture and your reasoning. It is captured contemporaneously across hands, wrists and other joints, not reconstructed from memory later.
Yes. As you take a validated measure such as the Health Assessment Questionnaire, grip strength or a pain rating, Note Dr records it in your structured note, ready to repeat at review. Unlike a narrative, an exact grip reading or HAQ score can't be reconstructed after clinic, so capturing it live keeps a true baseline for the next flare review.
As you assess a flare, Note Dr captures the changed joint findings, how you paced the programme to disease activity and your reasoning, the moment it happens. The flare status, measures and adapted plan are recorded contemporaneously, so the record reflects how the episode actually moved.
