PIRP Note Example

Adjusting to Remote Work

Client is struggling with feelings of isolation and lack of motivation since transitioning to remote work.

Generated PIRP Note:

Quill generated this note with AI from the summary that was provided. The therapist can then copy-and-paste the note into their current EHR platform.

Problem:
Client presented with feelings of isolation and lack of motivation since transitioning to remote work. They reported difficulty focusing at home and a sense of disconnection, stating "I just can’t focus at home, and I feel so cut off from everyone." Client expressed missing the routine of the office environment and the challenge of managing workload without a clear workday structure.

Intervention:
During the 60-minute session at the office, the therapist discussed the common challenges of shifting to remote work. Interventions included suggesting the establishment of a new routine, setting small goals, adhering to a schedule with breaks, and incorporating social interactions. The therapist also recommended creating a designated workspace at home to help separate work from leisure time.

Response:
Client was receptive to the interventions, agreeing to attempt the creation of a new work routine, including defined work hours, scheduled breaks, and planned social connections. They appeared willing but remained somewhat skeptical about the changes.

Plan:
Client was assigned homework to build a new work routine and will follow up in the next session to assess progress and make necessary adjustments. The therapist plans to continue supporting the client in adapting to remote work and improving their overall well-being.

Client Session Summary:

Here's the summary of this client session. Remember, Quill does not record the client session. A therapist would provide a summary (like the one below) after the session is over.

We had a 60-minute session today at the office. Client came in looking pretty frustrated, saying that ever since they transitioned to remote work, they’ve been feeling totally isolated and unmotivated. They said quote 'I just can’t focus at home, and I feel so cut off from everyone' unquote. They talked about how much they miss the routine of going into the office, seeing coworkers, and having that separation between work and home. They also mentioned that without that structure, they’re finding it hard to stay on track and are feeling overwhelmed by the workload because it feels like there’s no real beginning or end to the workday anymore.

We talked about how a lot of people are struggling with the shift to remote work and that it’s important to create a new routine that works for them. I suggested they set small, manageable goals throughout the day and try to stick to a schedule that includes breaks and, you know, some form of social interaction, even if it’s just a quick phone call with a friend or a colleague. We also talked about creating a designated workspace at home, just to help them mentally separate work from relaxation. Their homework is to try building a new work routine this week—setting up a work schedule with start and stop times, adding in breaks, and making sure they’re taking time to connect with people during the day.

They seemed willing to give it a shot, though they were still a bit skeptical. We’ll follow up next week to see how it’s going and if we need to tweak anything.
