AI Medical Scribe for

Rehabilitation Psychiatrists

Your patients carry both an injury and its psychiatric aftermath — and your notes have to document the MSE, risk, medications, and recovery-oriented plan for every review. Medical Scribe drafts the full psychiatric note from the session so your attention stays on the patient, not the chart.

Sample note

What your notes will look like

A real example of the documentation Medical Scribe generates for rehabilitation psychiatrists — ready before your patient leaves the room.

Rehab Psych Review Ready to copy

History of Presenting Complaints

41M, 8 months post moderate TBI from a motorcycle accident, attending inpatient rehab review. Reports low mood most days, irritability with 'a short fuse I never had,' and poor frustration tolerance in therapy sessions. Sleep fragmented, waking 3-4 times nightly. Denies anhedonia for family visits. PHQ-9 today 14, from 17 four weeks ago.

Medications

  • Sertraline 100mg mane — commenced 6 weeks ago, tolerating well
  • Melatonin 4mg nocte
  • Paracetamol 1g QID PRN for headache

Mental Status Examination

  • Appearance: casually dressed, walking frame at side, adequate self-care
  • Speech: mildly slowed, coherent and relevant
  • Mood: 'flat and frustrated' — affect restricted but reactive
  • Thoughts: preoccupied with recovery timeline; no delusional content, no SI/HI expressed
  • Cognition: oriented; slowed processing and reduced attention on conversation, consistent with injury
  • Insight: developing — recognizes irritability as injury-related; judgment intact for daily decisions

Risk Assessment

Denies suicidal ideation, intent, or plan; describes frustration rather than hopelessness. Impulsivity present but not associated with harm to self or others on the ward. Protective factors: engaged in rehab program, supportive wife, future goals around return to part-time work. Overall risk currently low; continue routine monitoring.

Treatment Plan

  • Continue sertraline 100mg; review response in 4 weeks with repeat PHQ-9
  • Neuropsychology referral for cognitive and mood strategies around frustration tolerance
  • Sleep: consolidate ward sleep hygiene measures before considering medication change
  • Family meeting scheduled with wife to discuss irritability management post-discharge
  • Liaise with rehab team re pacing of therapy sessions

Illustrative example. Every note is fully editable, and you control the format — SOAP, DAP, or your own custom template.

Documentation at the intersection of psychiatry and recovery

Two histories in every assessment

TBI, stroke, or spinal cord injury on one axis; depression, PTSD, or psychosis on the other. Each review means documenting the medical and psychiatric picture together — twice the history, one appointment slot.

Risk and capacity can't be under-documented

Suicidality after catastrophic injury, impulsivity after frontal lobe damage, capacity questions around treatment decisions — these assessments need precise, defensible wording every single time.

Care plans feed a whole rehab team

Your formulation and treatment plan direct psychology, nursing, OT, and community teams. Reviews, care plan updates, and correspondence multiply the writing that follows each appointment.

Built for psychiatry practiced inside a rehab program

Ward reviews, family meetings, capacity assessments, outpatient follow-ups after discharge — Medical Scribe records each encounter, in person or by telehealth, and drafts the psychiatric note while you move to the next patient. Collateral from a spouse or the nursing team in the room is captured as part of the same conversation.

The full rehabilitation psychiatry note, structured

The built-in Rehabilitation Psychiatrist’s note template — one of 280+ specialty templates — covers History of Presenting Complaints, Past Medical & Psychiatric History, Medications, Family History, Social History, Mental Status Examination, Risk Assessment, Diagnosis, Treatment Plan, and Safety Plan. A Mental Health Care Plan template is built in too, for structured care planning and review.

Risk documentation with nothing invented

After catastrophic injury, risk fluctuates and your wording carries weight. Medical Scribe writes the Risk Assessment and Safety Plan from what the patient actually said about ideation, intent, and protective factors — never from inference — and you review and sign before anything reaches the chart. Your risk record stays yours, and defensible.

Frequently asked questions

Does it document the MSE and risk assessment to a psychiatric standard?

Yes. The Rehabilitation Psychiatrist's note template includes structured Mental Status Examination, Risk Assessment, and Safety Plan sections, populated only from what was said and observed in the session — it never invents clinical findings or risk language.

Can it handle the combined medical and psychiatric history my assessments require?

The template separates History of Presenting Complaints, Past Medical & Psychiatric History, Medications, Family History, and Social History, so the injury story and the psychiatric story are each captured where they belong, from one recorded conversation.

My patients may have communication or cognitive impairments — does that matter?

The note reflects the actual conversation, including collateral from family or team members present, and you edit before signing. Slowed or dysarthric speech is handled by the same review step: you confirm every clinical statement before it enters the record.

Is a recorded psychiatric session kept confidential?

Yes. Medical Scribe is HIPAA compliant, encrypted in transit and at rest, and you control the note. Patients can be informed and consent exactly as they would with a human scribe, and nothing is filed until you sign it.
