Clinical

Custom AI Notes

Custom AI Notes extends Tebra’s AI Note Assist to work with any note type in your practice — not just the five standard templates. Whether you use H&P, Physical Therapy, Acupuncture, OB/GYN, Urgent Care, or your own custom clinical templates, Custom AI Notes generates structured documentation from your patient encounters automatically.

Tebra has also updated the base AI instructions, which is the global prompt guidance that shapes how the note content generates. The new instructions emphasizes billing defensibility and audit survival, requires clinical reasoning to be shown (not just decisions), allow appropriate redundancy across sections when it reinforces the same fact from different angles, and prohibit creating structure or content that is not supported by the transcript.

Notes:

  • Chrome is the preferred browser for optimal use for AI Note Assist.
  • Available for Clinical subscribers at a transaction rate per note or a subscription rate.

Feature will be deployed to customers in phases and completed by end of May 2026.

Create Custom Note

Before getting started, verify the the practice or provider has at least one active custom note type.

The first time any provider uses AI Note Assist with a new custom note type, the system performs a one-time setup:

  • The AI reads each section header in the template.
  • The AI generates tailored extraction instructions for each header (e.g., for a Sleep Habits header, it creates instructions to extract mentions of sleep duration, quality, and disturbances).
  • These instructions are saved to the template for all future encounters.
  • The note is generated using those instructions and the encounter transcript.

Create Custom AI Note
  1. Generate an AI Note Assist.
  2. Select the custom note type from the Note Type drop-down arrow.
  3. Click Start Listening. The Session Recording pop-up window opens.
  4. The patient visit is recorded for up to 2 hours.
  5. Click the stop icon to end the recording and start generating the clinical note.
  6. Once the clinical note is generated, the note opens. The provider can review, edit applicable sections, and add note sections (to populate documented or new structured data) to finalize the note.
    Note: This first time Custom AI Note generation will take slightly longer. After the initial setup, the saved instructions are reused automatically — no repeated setup required.

Patient Experience

Patient Self-Service Cancel and Reschedule Appointments

Patients can cancel or reschedule appointments directly from SMS or email appointment reminders — no login, no app, no phone call— while practices maintain control through configurable Patient Appointment Management settings. This helps reduce no-shows, inbound calls, and messages by enabling patients to take action directly from appointment reminders. Patients get fast, self-service flexibility, while practices reduce staff workload.

Before you get started, verify the following settings are configured:

  • Patient Communications and appointment reminders are enabled for each provider to allow patients to access the option to reschedule or cancel their appointment in a reminder.
  • Online booking is enabled and configured for each provider to allow patients to request a new date and time for the appointment.

Available for Engage or Patient Experience subscribers.

  2. Click Online Scheduling. The Patient Appointment Management page opens.
  3. Click the reschedule appointments toggle on to enable the option to allow patients to reschedule their appointments online with the same provider, service location, and visit reason. The option is turned on and additional settings are displayed.
  4. Click the cancel appointments toggle on to enable the option to allow patients to cancel their appointment online. The option is turned on and additional settings are displayed.
  5. Review each provider’s Patient Communications and appointment reminders settings to verify reminders will be sent to patients before the selected reschedule and/or cancellation cut off.

Expanded AI-Powered Review Management

Practice can now reply to reviews on Tebra Care Connect (TCC) from their reputation management dashboard. Once patients submit feedback, providers can respond using the same AI-Generated Review Replies available for Google reviews (single review and bulk reply). TCC reviews continue to also flow into AI Review Insights along with Google reviews.

Overall, Tebra’s AI-Generated Review Replies enables healthcare practices to quickly respond to patient reviews on TCC and Google through the power of AI. Responses are sentiment-based replies, saving time and enhancing patient engagement while improving online reputation and trust.

These features are available for Practice Operation subscribers with Patient Experience.

Private Reviews

Tebra Care Connect review management provides practices greater flexibility in how reviews are routed, managed, and answered across Tebra Care Connect. With configurable review routing and AI-assisted replies, practices can add context, respond faster, and build trust—without increasing staff workload or changing existing workflows.

For practices that require discretion (e.g., Mental Health), review requests can be configured to collect private patient feedback only, enabling insight and improvement without publishing public reviews.

  2. Click Surveys & Reviews. The Surveys & Reviews settings page opens.
