One session, walked through.
An example: a 30-minute med-management follow-up, three weeks after a sertraline start.
The clinician’s attention stays where behavioral health needs it, on the patient. Scribe captures the interval history in the patient’s own framing, the sleep and appetite changes, the side-effect conversation, the mental status as the clinician observes it aloud or notes it after.
The plan is documented as discussed: continue, titrate, follow up in four weeks, and the safety conversation that was had. The titration becomes a drafted order; the visit’s coding, with its med-management shape, sits attached to the encounter.
Then the part that matters most in this specialty: the clinician reads every word before signing. The phrase that needs softening gets softened. The detail that belongs in the record stays; the aside that doesn’t, goes. The AI drafted; the clinician decided.
The next patient is a therapy-weighted session, and the note will look entirely different, because the visit was. The notes hold the story, and the clinician holds the pen.
