Writing session notes with AI drafts

Notes are where the day quietly disappears. Here you will move from a blank page to a signed note in a few minutes, with the clinical judgement staying entirely yours.

What you will learn

  • Choose and customise a SOAP, DAP or BIRP template
  • Generate a first draft from your session input
  • Review, edit and sign with an audit trail
  • Carry forward goals and risk flags between sessions

Step by step

1

Pick your template

Start from SOAP, DAP or BIRP and edit the section prompts to match how you actually write. Your template becomes the default for that service.

2

Capture the session

Type rough points or dictate them. Nothing is structured yet, this is the messy layer that usually never makes it out of your notebook.

3

Generate the draft

The assistant organises your input into the template's sections in clinical language. It never invents content you did not provide.

4

Review and sign

Edit anything, then sign. The note locks with a timestamp and an audit trail, and amendments are recorded as amendments.

Practitioner tips

Write your rough input in the client's own words where it matters clinically.

Sign notes the same day, the audit trail is cleaner and recall is better.
