Note Dr listens to the assessment as it happens. While you take the work history, test functional capacity and agree the return-to-work plan aloud, it writes the record in the background, so your attention stays on the employee, not the keyboard.
Functional capacity on record
What the employee could and could not do, tested against the demands of the job, captured as you reason it through aloud, not reconstructed later.
Consent to share with the employer
Exactly what the employee agreed you could disclose, and to whom, recorded the moment you gain consent, the line that matters most in occupational health.
Return-to-work plan and outcomes captured
The modified duties you advised and the validated measures you took, the very elements audits show go missing most.
A reviewed Note Dr record captures more of what a record needs to stand up to scrutiny, functional capacity, ergonomic risk, the return-to-work plan, consent to share 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 functional limits you set, the return-to-work plan, or exactly what the employee consented you to share, answered in seconds from their own record.
Walk into the review already knowing the plan, and the scope of consent, without trawling the notes.
When an assessment calls for it, Note Dr surfaces the published guidance occupational health physiotherapists work to, from the CSP record-keeping and occupational health guidance to NICE workplace health and musculoskeletal advice and fit-note guidance, with the source shown. It never tells you how to treat your patient; that judgement stays with you.

★★★★★
Capacity, not guesswork, on record
Functional capacity was always the thing I reasoned through but never fully wrote down. Now what the employee can and cannot do, tested against the job, is right there in the record. I edit and approve in under a minute.
★★★★★
Consent to share, every time
My biggest exposure was always what I had agreed to disclose to the employer. Note Dr captures the scope of consent in every assessment, so the record shows exactly what the employee allowed me to share, and what I held back.
★★★★★
Ergonomic findings written up properly
Workstation assessments used to live in my head until I found a spare half hour. Now the task analysis and the adjustments I recommended are documented as I talk through them, with the rationale tied to the return-to-work plan.
★★★★★
Phased plans that hold up
Phased return plans are only any use if they are clearly recorded. Note Dr lays out the modified duties, the timescales and the review point every time, so the employee, the manager and I are all working from the same record.
★★★★★
Calmest case review we've run
Contemporaneous records across the service, with capacity, consent to share and outcome measures on every assessment. Our last record-keeping 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 a full caseload of workplace assessments, ergonomic reviews and return-to-work plans, every record now reads to the same standard, with the functional capacity, the consent to share and the outcome measures that used to vanish when I was busy. My notes finally match the work I actually do.
Rebecca AOccupational health physiotherapist
Yes — occupational health physiotherapists use Note Dr to draft the record of workplace assessments, functional capacity evaluations and return-to-work reviews. You tell the employee at the start, and if they would rather you did not record, you simply type as usual. Transcription happens on your device, the AI drafts the note, and nothing enters the record until you have reviewed and approved it.
Yes — tell the employee at the start of the assessment and record their agreement, just as you record their consent to share findings with the employer. Keep the consents distinct in the note: agreement to the scribe is separate from the scope of disclosure. If the employee declines, you type as usual. Note Dr transcribes on your device, and you review and approve every record.
Yes — Note Dr drafts the return-to-work report from what was said in the assessment, kept within the scope of disclosure the employee consented to. Functional limits, modified duties and phased timescales are laid out as you agreed, while clinical detail stays in the record unless separately agreed. You review, edit and approve the report before anything reaches a manager or HR.
Yes. As you test what the employee can and cannot do against the demands of the job, and reason toward a fitness opinion aloud, Note Dr records the functional capacity findings and your reasoning in a structured note. The limiting tasks and tolerances are captured contemporaneously, ready for you to review and approve.
Yes. As you talk through the task analysis, the postural and load risk factors and the adjustments you recommend, Note Dr writes the ergonomic assessment with the rationale tied to the job. Recommendations stay advisory to the employer, and you review and approve every note before it is saved.
As you take a validated measure such as QuickDASH with its work module, the Oswestry Disability Index or a numerical pain rating, Note Dr records it in your structured note, ready to repeat at review. Left to the write-up, a baseline score slips while the return-to-work plan and consent to share hold your focus, yet it is what shows progress at review. You review and approve before saving.
Note Dr works alongside any occupational health system rather than plugging into it. Transcription happens on your device, the AI drafts the record, and once you have reviewed and approved the note you paste or export it into your case management system, OH portal or report template. There is no integration to configure, so the same workflow follows you across every employer contract.
