🎉Big news: Document Assistant has launched! We know reception teams spend hours on referrals, results, and reports, time that could be spent with patients instead.

Built directly from practice feedback, Document Assistant changes that. Upload one document or a whole batch, and AI extracts the key details, preps everything for review, and imports straight into Best Practice. No more manual data entry.

✅ Routes documents to the Patient File, Doctor's Inbox or Investigations
✅ Flags duplicates before import
✅ Archives imported documents automatically

It's free to trial for 30 days, a low-risk way to see the time savings for your practice.

👉 Activate your trial from the Document Assistant tab in your HotDoc Dashboard, and access it via the HotDoc Sidebar.
