Session Studio

The note is drafted. You sign it.

A session-capture workspace for outpatient behavioral health. It runs the day's caseload, records behind a consent gate, and turns the session into a DAP progress note you review line by line. Audio stays on the device; nothing reaches the chart until you sign.

Today — the caseload, and what it is waiting on

The day opens on four counts and the one that matters is the red one: a consent that expired. Under it, the next appointment carries its own context forward — which week of the protocol, which CPT code, what was left unfinished last time, and how many authorized units remain.

Recording, with the consent gate in front of it

Two capture modes: ambient, or agenda-led against the session plan drawn from the client's protocol. A status dot states which one is true — recording, or paused with "nothing is captured while the indicator is grey". Agenda items you never tap carry into the next session's plan rather than quietly disappearing.

A DAP draft that shows its work

The draft arrives in the three DAP sections — Data, Assessment, Plan — and each one is labelled with how much to trust it. Sections grounded in the session read "high confidence"; an inference across several sessions is marked "review advised" and says so out loud: no direct quote, verify the hypothesis. Accept sections one at a time, or rewrite them.

Five rules the recorder actually enforces

These are settings in the app, not a privacy page. They are on by default and each one is a switch you can see.

Treatment plans, and whether they are working

Each client runs against a named, agency-approved protocol — CBT for GAD, DBT skills, EMDR 8-phase, ACT, IFS, Gottman couples, SUD relapse prevention and more — broken into phases with week ranges, so "week 6 of 12" means a specific place in a specific ladder.

Self-monitoring & thought recordsWeeks 3–4
Cognitive restructuringWeeks 5–6
Graded exposureWeeks 7–9
Relapse preventionWeeks 10–12

Outcomes measured against a threshold, not a vibe

GAD-7 and PHQ-9 are plotted across the episode, with attendance banded underneath as attended, partial or missed. Reliable change is not a judgement call: a 5-point fall on GAD-7 is reported as having cleared the 4-point threshold, and it says which number it cleared.

Six sessions of outcome measures in Session Studio, with GAD-7 and PHQ-9 both trending downward on a line chart, stat tiles reporting reliable change met, six of seven sessions attended, homework returned at 68 percent and no risk events, and a twelve-week attendance strip

The caseload, filtered by what needs doing

The client list is not alphabetical busywork — each row carries the protocol they are on and the one thing outstanding: a note due, a consent to re-sign, an authorisation running low, a plan review overdue.

Billing that follows the note

CPT codes are suggested from the session — 90791 for intake, 90834 and 90837 for individual, 90847 for family — and you confirm before anything is submitted. Claims that cannot go yet are labelled with why: unsigned, needs detail, or authorization low.

An audit trail and a co-signer

Signing routes the note to a named supervisor for co-signature and writes an audit row. Settings keeps the last 24 hours of that trail visible, each entry stamped with who did it and when, and it exports for supervision.
