Session notes are essential for clinicians, capturing a complete record of care, supporting continuity, and serving as critical documentation for insurance, legal, and regulatory requirements. Medical practice management can be a lot to balance, with administrative and management responsibilities requiring a great deal of a provider’s time, potentially pulling them away from other tasks. As such, integrating thoughtful tools that mesh seamlessly with a practice’s workflow can be invaluable for saving time and reducing administrative burden.
Session notes are automatically generated for Creyos assessments and are available directly in the patient’s profile in the Creyos platform. Providers no longer need to transpose assessment information manually—a process that created both risk of errors and inefficiency.
This feature is designed to make clinical documentation of Creyos evaluations and assessment sessions fast, accurate, and easy to integrate. Session notes provide summaries of every testing session and the results within the Creyos platform.
The Power of Automated Session Notes
Digital cognitive testing with Creyos is designed to provide healthcare professionals with accurate, scientifically backed, and clear results in Creyos reports. Automated reports make it easy to track patient progress, meaningful changes in their performance, and the effects of treatment interventions over time. With automated session notes, clinicians can save time and ensure greater accuracy and consistency of clinical documentation by reducing the room for error in reports and generating the evidence needed for coordinated care, billing, and audits.
Automated notes provide clinicians with a seamless and efficient way to document patient interactions. Digitizing and automating session notes saves time and enhances the accuracy of documentation, as well as leading to greater continuity of care across providers for patients. For medical practices that want to streamline their workflow and reduce administrative burden, these benefits are invaluable.
Time Saving:
Clinicians can now bid farewell to time-consuming manual data entry. With automated session notes, information on the administration and results is pulled in from the testing session and ready to be copied to EHRs, referral notes, or coding documentation, reducing repetitive data input. This time-saving feature enables healthcare providers to allocate more time to patient care and other critical tasks.
Enhanced Accuracy:
Automation minimizes the risk of errors associated with manual implementation, ensuring that session notes remain consistent, accurate, and of high quality. Healthcare professionals can trust that their clinical documentation is complete, up-to-date, and compliant with regulatory standards, promoting patient safety and upholding the quality of care provided.
Greater Continuity of Care:
Integrated and digital session notes can enhance patient continuity of care, especially between referrals and across members of the patient care team. Continuity of care and the convenience of digitized and integrated testing have been shown to increase patient retention and improve patient outcomes.
How Creyos Session Notes Work
As soon as an assessment is administered, Creyos will automatically populate a new note for the testing session.
This includes essential details like assessment date, patient and administrator details, administration method, tasks, and questionnaires used—everything needed for claims and audits.
Session notes are initiated as soon as an assessment is administered. As the patient progresses, session information is automatically added in real time. This information can be used to supplement information documented for reimbursement. As a patient moves through the assessment, the session note is updated with the results.
Clinicians can access the session notes from the Patient Details screen. Simply click on the patient name, and a View Note button will appear next to applicable sessions where notes were recorded. Clicking this button reveals the Session Note screen.
Fully digitized, session notes can be effortlessly copied and pasted into various platforms, such as EHR visit notes, additional reports, or referral documents—cutting out the need to manually transpose information.
Clinicians can then focus on documenting the specifics of the session, such as the patient's current condition, treatment plan, and any notes or recommendations. With this streamlined process, clinical documentation is not only more efficient but also more detailed and precise.
Session notes are available with digital cognitive testing on the Creyos platform, including for the ADHD and MCI-focused protocols. Having in-platform session notes all in one place—without the need to input them manually from handwritten notes, audio transcripts, or another platform—adds to the convenience of this new feature.
The Future of Healthcare Documentation
By automating session notes and integrating them into Creyos, clinicians can make their usual processes more efficient, reduce administrative burden, and ultimately deliver better patient care. It’s a small step towards making workflows even more seamless so less time is spent on paperwork, and more time is spent with patients.
