Better Note Taking for Therapists

Effective note taking for therapists centers on capturing the Subjective experience of the patient and the Objective observations of the clinician.

Including specific behavioral markers and the Plan for the next session ensures the record is clinically useful and meets professional standards.

This allows the therapist to focus on the review surface, checking citations against the transcript to ensure the note accurately reflects the session before it is moved into the EHR.
