As a PMHNP-BC, I am grateful to have the latest AI charting software at our disposal to aid in timely completion of visit notes. It also allows me to give the patient 100% of my focus during sessions and gives me confidence knowing that the scribing software will catch a great deal of details from each visit. Let’s review some benefits of a few popular options for AI Scribe that can help psychiatric nurse practitioners’ workflow be more efficient.
