Use of AI Tools in Clinical Practice: Administrative Tasks and Supervision
Clinicians at J&R Clinical Psychology sometimes use an AI-assisted tool, NovoNote, to support clinical care in the following ways:
- Assistance with administrative tasks: After your session, your clinician may dictate into NovoNote to assist with the production of clinical notes and letters. Novonote can also be used to generate notes in supervision sessions.
- Clinical Supervision: during Clinical Supervision, deidentified details of your therapy and presentation may be discussed and recorded using NovoNote. Novonote generates a summary of the supervision session for the Psychologists professional development records. Deidentified means information such as your name, date of birth or other identifying details are not included.
- These activities do not include the use of AI to record your consultations with your psychologist. If your clinician wishes to use an AI note taker to record sessions, they will seek your consent separately to do this.
Benefits and risks of AI use
NovoNote may improve clinician efficiency and streamline documentation. As with any technology, there is a small risk of inaccurate or incorrect AI-generated information. Clinicians manage this by reviewing all AI-generated material and ensuring accuracy and alignment with clinical judgement.
