For practice nurses in GP clinics
Lyrebird gives practice nurses tools built around their clinical work, not just the GP consult. Document in the room. Save directly into your EMR.
Type 2 diabetes and hypertension. Annual review documented and filed. GP notified for sign-off.
Chronic disease management plan drafting during the consultation. Review before save.
Draft ready. One check before it goes into Best Practice.
All three documented before lunch. None taken home to finish later.

See the Best Practice integrationThe nursing reality
Practice nurses carry a clinical workload that barely fits in a standard day. The documentation that comes with it: care plans, assessments and CDM reviews. It often follows you home. That is not a small problem.
A GPCCMP takes time to write properly. Multiply that across a full list of chronic disease patients, add assessments and cycle of care reviews, and the documentation load alone becomes a job that spills past clinic hours.
The documentation that practice nurses produce: care plans, health assessments and CDM reviews. This sits outside what those tools were designed for. That gap lands on the person doing the work.
Typing up notes after the fact, then copying them into your EMR by hand, is where errors happen. A detail missed, a field skipped, a patient record that does not quite match what was said in the room. The fix takes longer than the original documentation would have.
Time spent on care plan write-ups, assessments and admin after clinic hours is time outside the clinical role practice nurses trained for. Over a week, a month, a year, it adds up.
Who this changes things for
When a practice nurse is on Lyrebird, it is not just their day that changes. The GP gets cleaner records, care plan reviews run on time, and MBS items do not fall through the gaps.
Document while you consult. Review before saving. Walk out the door when clinic ends. The work does not follow you home.
When care plans are drafted in the room and filed into their EMR, the GP has a complete, structured document to review, with one less verbal catch-up to schedule.
Care plan reviews completed on time, health assessments documented properly, chronic disease management running to schedule. The billing follows the clinical work.
How your documentation day changes
Right now, the consultation ends and the documentation starts. Lyrebird moves the documentation into the consultation, so when the patient leaves, the work is done.
Start Lyrebird before the patient walks in. It is ready when you are.
Lyrebird listens while you work. Your attention stays on the patient.
A structured care plan or assessment is ready for you to check before anything is saved.
The note goes directly into your clinical system. No copy-paste. No re-typing. Done.
You stay in control at every step. Lyrebird drafts. You review. Nothing is saved without your check. The tool does not replace your clinical judgment. It removes the administration that surrounds it.
How it works in practice
This is the kind of consultation that happens every week. Here is how it changes when Lyrebird is in the room.
See the nurse workflowSelect the GPCCMP template. Lyrebird is ready to capture before the consultation starts.
Ask about medications, review goals, check on allied health referrals. Lyrebird captures the clinical content without interrupting the conversation.
The structured GPCCMP is ready for your check. Adjust anything that needs it. The patient can see that the documentation is done before they walk out.
The care plan goes into the patient record. The GP receives a clean, complete document to review and sign off.
Templates built for practice nurses
Every template is structured around the documentation practice nurses actually produce, not adapted from a GP consult format and relabelled.
Structured output that matches the clinical record your GP needs to sign off and the MBS item it corresponds to.
Documentation that captures the assessment while it is happening, not reconstructed afterwards from notes.
Referral letters and correspondence that can be drafted from the same session, without starting from a blank page.
Trust and compliance
Clinical risk matters. These are not marketing claims. They are the actual technical and contractual controls in place.
All data is stored on Australian servers. Privacy Act APP 8 cross-border requirements do not apply.
The recording is deleted at the end of the session. Only the structured clinical note remains. Nothing is retained.
Your clinical data is not used for model training. This is written into the contract, not just a policy statement that can change.
Patient consent is recorded at the start of every session. You have a clear log for every encounter, which matters for any audit.
Lyrebird falls outside the TGA's definition of a medical device under current TGA guidance.
Pause the recording at any point. Add a note separately. Nothing leaves the session without your review and your confirmation.
Evidence
Peer-reviewed data from a 16-week evaluation at Gold Coast Hospital and Health Service, an independent Australian study across clinical teams in an outpatient hospital setting.
Memon et al. | BMC Health Services Research, 2025 | Gold Coast Hospital and Health Service (outpatient setting)
A 16-week outpatient evaluation of Lyrebird across clinical teams found significant reductions in documentation time and improvements in both clinician experience and patient attention.
Practice software integration
A care plan that is not in your EMR is not a care plan. It is an extra step waiting to happen. Lyrebird connects to the systems GP clinics already use.
Documentation goes directly into the patient record in Best Practice. The copy-paste step between your notes and the clinical record is removed, and so is the risk that comes with it.
When the nurse's documentation is in the system, the GP has what they need to sign off without a verbal catch-up, a sticky note or a chase across the clinic.
If your clinic does not use Best Practice, Lyrebird runs in the browser alongside your existing clinical system.
