SIMPLE Note Example: Worried About Clients' Privacy

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.

Session took place in the therapist's office at 12:00 PM. Client presented as a fellow therapist and appeared highly stressed and anxious, expressing significant concern over the proliferation of AI note-taking and scribe tools. Client reported discomfort with colleagues recording sessions and storing sensitive client information, citing fears of potential data breaches. Client stated, "Say I have a client, for example Jane Doe, who tells me super personal things. What happens when her super personal data is leaked?" Client appeared burdened by the responsibility of safeguarding client confidentiality and expressed distress over the potential consequences of a breach. Therapist suggested that client outline personal boundaries regarding technology in her practice and develop a list of questions to evaluate AI tools. Client plans to review privacy policies of platforms she is considering and will bring findings to the next session. Client asked if the therapist was recording sessions and was reassured that no recordings are being made. The next session is scheduled in two weeks at the same time. Future sessions may address managing anxiety and strategies to prevent overwhelm.

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, and then Quill would generate a note similar to the one above.

So, I met with my client, she's a fellow therapist... in my office today at noon. And honestly, the whole session was her just unloading about how stressed and anxious she is over all these AI note-taking and scribe tools popping up, and seeing some of her colleagues recording their sessions, despite the huge risks. She kept saying how it just doesn't sit right with her that they're recording and storing all this super sensitive stuff. She's convinced it's only a matter of time before there's a big breach. At one point she goes quote "Say I have a client, for example Jane Doe, who tells me super personal things. What happens when her super personal data is leaked?" unquote, and, yeah, I mean... if Jane Doe's information got out like that, it'd be devastating... both for Jane personally and for her as a therapist. You could tell this is weighing heavy on her, like she's carrying the responsibility of keeping every client's secrets locked down. I get it, if you googled for Jane, you might find her deepest darkest secrets that she had trusted her, I mean like her therapist, with.

I told her for next time, maybe just jot down some boundaries for herself. Like, where she draws the line with tech in her practice. Umm. And maybe a list of questions she'd want answered before even thinking about an AI tool. She's also gonna poke around at some privacy policies for any platforms she's curious about, just to see if they're actually airtight. We'll go over all that when we meet again in two weeks, same time. Lots more to work on with anxiety and how to not let it overwhelm her. Oh, and she also asked if I was recording our sessions, which obviously I assured her I am not. But I'm glad she felt comfortable asking about a topic that worries her so much.
