AI-Powered Documentation for Mental Health Providers: Retrospective Observational Mixed Methods Study
Our findings suggest that AI-powered documentation tools, such as Smart Notes, are a feasible and acceptable approach to supporting MHPs. The high adoption rate and favorable MHP feedback indicate the potential utility of these tools without compromising note quality. This study provides preliminary data regarding the application of AI documentation in the mental health care context, highlighting a promising path for future research and development in digital mental health.
