How it works
# You open the app and see your patient. The note is finished before you walk out.

Most progress notes are ready to send in under five minutes.

Nextvisit customer surveys and product metrics, April 2023 to June 2026.

 1. 01         Capture
## Four ways to start a note.

Use it for telehealth, in-person, or hybrid. Guided (pick the patient first) or ambient (assign the chart after).
  What you get
 - Two-channel speaker separation
- Audio held in memory, not stored on disk
- TLS 1.3 in transit, AES-256 at rest if retained
            Recording     02:14    Live Live transcription
Record live, or dictate after.
      Pt reports stable mood, sleep improved. PHQ-9 last week: 8 (down from 14).  No SI/HI. Continue current regimen.     Type Quick note
Type plain text into your template.

1. 02         Generate
## Your note is drafted in your template, not ours.

AriaMD writes in SOAP, DAP, BIRP, intake, Spravato, TMS, MAT, lithium monitoring, or your house style, with screeners and quotes filled in.
  What lands in the chart
 - Drafted in 47 seconds after the visit ends
- PHQ-9 and GAD-7 trends appear inline
- CPT and ICD-10 suggestions, behavioral-health tuned

## Draft, Processing, Ready, Signed.

You, supervisors, and subscribed automations can see the state.
  What each state means
 - Draft: created, not yet processed
- Processing: AriaMD generating the note
- Ready: waiting for review
- Signed: locked; downstream events fire

 Sign fires the Encounter Signed event. Billing, automations, and patient timeline all subscribe.
1. 04         Review
## Peer review before you sign.

A second model flags missing screeners, undocumented advisories, and coding mismatches. Accept a suggestion or insert a one-line template. You stay the clinician of record.
  What it watches for
 - SI / HI screening when SSRIs are involved
- CPT level supported by the documented complexity
- Drug interactions for psychotropic combinations

1. 05         Push
## Sign once. The chart closes itself.

Signing pushes the note to Epic, Athena, or your EHR over FHIR and fires Encounter Signed. Claims, eligibility, fax, and copy-out follow when ICD-10 is assigned.
  What completes automatically
 - FHIR R4 push to Epic, Athena, eClinicalWorks
- Claim scrubbed and submitted to the payer
- PHQ-9 and GAD-7 trends posted to the patient chart
    Where it connects

- [Automations Scheduled or event-triggered AriaMD prompts.](/automations)

          Behavioral-health notes
## What a psychiatric note has to hold.

A psychiatric encounter does not fit a SOAP-with-vitals template. Affect, mental status, SI/HI, polypharmacy, transference, and the patient's own words need the right field. Clinicians who run these visits wrote the prompts, so a 60-minute intake comes out as an intake, not a four-line summary.
   Sections in the note
 - Mental status exam
- Affect & mood
- Thought process
- SI / HI screening
- Polypharmacy review
- PHQ-9 / GAD-7
- Patient quotes
- Risk assessment
- Treatment plan
- Medication response

## Twenty minutes, one mock visit. You leave with a note in your template.

We run a mock session, draft the note, and show the claim. No slides.
