Accessing NovoNote as a Practitioner in Training

Accessing NovoNote as a Practitioner in Training 

NovoNote is designed to support mental health professionals in clinical documentation. For practitioners in training, it is essential to ensure that the use of NovoNote aligns with ethical guidelines and supervision requirements. We recommend discussing its suitability with your supervisor or a qualified clinician to confirm that it meets the necessary standards for your training environment.

It is important to note that all results and notes generated by NovoNote should be interpreted within the appropriate clinical context by a qualified professional. AI-generated notes should serve as an adjunct to, rather than a replacement for, clinical judgment and should never be used as the sole basis for diagnosis or treatment decisions.

Best Practices for Practitioners in Training

1. Consult with Your Supervisor

• Ensure that using NovoNote aligns with your training requirements and ethical guidelines.

• Discuss how generated notes and transcripts should be reviewed and integrated into your practice.

• Clarify expectations around supervision, ensuring that generated content is critically appraised before inclusion in client records.

  
  

2. Maintain Ethical and Confidential Use

• Follow all relevant privacy regulations and codes of conduct (e.g., AHPRA, HIPAA, PIPEDA) when using NovoNote in client sessions.

• Ensure that client data is securely stored and accessed only by authorised personnel.

• Always obtain patient consent before using NovoNote. Inform clients that they can withdraw their consent at any time.

3. Use NovoNote as a Supplementary Tool

• NovoNote is designed to enhance documentation efficiency, but it does not replace the need for clinical reasoning and reflective practice.

• Always review, edit, and verify AI-generated notes against session details to ensure accuracy, completeness, and adherence to therapeutic objectives.

• Exercise professional discretion when incorporating AI-generated content into client records, particularly in complex or nuanced clinical cases.

4. Stay Updated on System Enhancements

• As NovoNote continues to evolve, new features may improve usability for trainees.

• Keep up with updates and best practices to optimise the features of the platform.

Following these guidelines helps maintain ethical and professional standards while using NovoNote in a clinical training context.
