The last patient has left, the surgery is quiet, and there&#8217;s a stack of clinical notes still to write. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today we&#8217;re introducing <strong>Smart Clinical Notes<\/strong>, a new AI-assisted add-on for Praktika that turns quick, rough notes or dictation into clean, structured clinical records, right inside the clinical notes screen you already use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-smart-clinical-notes-does\">What Smart Clinical Notes does<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Smart Clinical Notes sits directly in the Praktika clinical note editor.
