Purpose
At North Star Behavioral Health, we use a secure, HIPAA-compliant, AI-assisted digital scribe to help document sessions accurately and efficiently.
This tool listens quietly in the background and creates a confidential draft of the visit note.
Using it allows your clinician to stay more fully present during the conversation while ensuring your record truly reflects what was discussed.
How It Works
- The scribe records the session through an encrypted, HIPAA-compliant connection.
- The audio is securely processed to create a draft note.
- Your clinician reviews, edits, and finalizes that draft before it becomes part of your chart.
- Once the note is finalized, the recording and draft are permanently deleted.
- Your medical record remains stored only within our secure electronic health record, as always.
What It Does and Doesn't Do
- It helps your clinician capture key details accurately.
- It does not diagnose, make decisions, or replace professional judgment.
- Your clinician remains fully responsible for the content and quality of the record.
Your Choice
Participation is completely voluntary.
- You may decline the scribe for any session - just let us know at the start of the visit.
- You may withdraw consent at any time.
- Declining or withdrawing will not affect your care, access, or relationship with your clinician.
Questions
If you have any questions about how the digital scribe works or how your privacy is protected, please ask before or during your appointment.
