Dear Praxis Client,
We are excited to announce the release of Praxis Version 9.56, one of the most important upgrades in the history of Praxis.
For more than three decades, our mission has remained unchanged: to help physicians spend less time serving the computer and more time caring for patients. With Version 9.56, that vision takes a major leap forward.

We recommend reviewing the manual while reading this announcement, as it contains screenshots, examples, and step-by-step explanations of the new features described below.
Introducing Reflective Ambient Intelligence™ RAI™
Most Ambient AI systems simply listen to a conversation and generate a note.
RAI does something fundamentally different.
Instead of documenting only what was said, RAI compares the patient encounter with the clinical knowledge you have accumulated over years of practice within your Praxis Concept Processor. It helps transform a simple conversation into documentation that more closely reflects your own clinical reasoning.
RAI can:
- Generate the History of Present Illness automatically from the patient encounter.
- Suggest additional symptoms and questions that other providers may have considered in similar cases.
- Help identify likely diagnoses and connect them to your existing knowledge base.
- Continuously strengthen your personal clinical knowledge while preserving your authorship and clinical judgment.
Most importantly, you remain in complete control. Nothing becomes part of the medical record unless you approve it.
This is not merely Ambient AI.
It is Reflective Ambient Intelligence™.
Your Patients Can Now Help Create Their Own Documentation
Version 9.56 introduces a powerful new generation of AI-Assisted Intake Forms.
Patients can complete questionnaires through the portal, and Praxis can automatically generate a summary of their responses. The patient reviews, edits, approves, and electronically signs the summary before it ever reaches your chart.
The result is remarkable:
- Better patient participation
- More complete histories
- Less staff workload
- Faster documentation
- Better patient engagement
In many cases, your patients will help generate their own clinical history before you even enter the room.
Create Powerful Reports Without Learning SQL
The new AI Query Engine allows providers and administrators to create sophisticated reports simply by describing what they want in plain English.
No SQL.
No programming.
No database expertise.
Simply tell Praxis what information you want, review the generated query, and save it for future use.
Reports that once required technical assistance can now be created by anyone.
More Than 150 Additional Improvements
Version 9.56 also includes approximately 150 additional enhancements and corrections throughout Praxis, including:
- Improved patient portal capabilities
- Enhanced scheduling functions
- New intake form features
- Expanded telemedicine options
- Improved query tools
- Better patient communications
- Apple Calendar integration
- New clinical parameter capabilities
- Numerous usability and workflow improvements
Many other enhancements are designed to simply make Praxis work better every day without requiring additional training, so they are not in this manual.
Unlike conventional EHRs, Praxis can implement many of these AI capabilities without requiring templates, scribes, or complex configuration because the Concept Processor already understands the way you practice medicine.
This Is Only the Beginning
One of the most exciting sections of the mini-manual is the glimpse into the future.
You will see upcoming developments including:
- Automatic patient summary generation
- AI-generated referral reports
- AI-generated patient education materials
- Automatic creation of SOAP and Free Agents
- Improved clinical search capabilities
- OCR-based document processing
- Advanced interoperability initiatives
These capabilities are possible only because Praxis is built upon a true Concept Processor rather than traditional templates.
Please Take a Few Minutes to Review the Mini-Manual
The mini-manual is available at the link above and contains screenshots, explanations, examples, and training materials that demonstrate how these new capabilities work.
We strongly encourage every provider, administrator, and staff member to review it.
Some of the features described may fundamentally change the way you interact with your EHR.
Of course, our trainers are always ready to help you navigate these new capabilities and take full advantage of everything Praxis has to offer. The more you know about Praxis, the more effective you will become.
As always, we thank you for your loyalty, your feedback, and your support. Many of the improvements in this release originated directly from suggestions provided by Praxis users.
Together, we continue to advance the practice of medicine.
Warm regards,
