Async Note-Taking: How We Give You 2 Hours Back Daily

Time is the most perishable commodity in clinical practice. Between therapy sessions, phone calls, insurance authorizations, and the mountain of paperwork that follows each encounter, even the most efficient clinician can feel stretched thin. Our internal studies show that the average therapist spends 110–140 minutes every day writing or correcting progress notes and treatment summaries. uMore’s Async Note-Taking feature slashes that burden, freeing up roughly two hours you can reclaim for client care, professional development, or that cup of coffee you keep reheating.

What Is Async Note-Taking?

Traditional “live” note-taking requires you to document during, or immediately after, a session, often forcing you to toggle between empathic listening and rigid documentation checklists. With uMore, you record secure audio (or upload a session transcript) and then… walk away. Our HIPAA-compliant pipeline:

1. Captures the conversation in high-fidelity speech.
2. Transcribes it in real time with medical-grade accuracy.
3. Summarizes the transcript into your chosen format—SOAP, DAP, or BIRP—using context-aware large-language-model prompts vetted by licensed clinicians.
4. Flags missing elements (e.g., risk assessments, CPT codes) so you can add or approve them asynchronously, whenever you have time.

Because these steps run in the background, note generation no longer competes with clinical presence.

Where Do the 2 Hours Go?

Fewer Interruptions, Deeper Focus
Cognitive science tells us that each context switch costs ~23 minutes to regain complete focus. When you stack five or six sessions back-to-back, that’s a hidden time sink. Async Note-Taking defers documentation to blocks you choose, eliminating “micro-switching” and protecting the therapeutic alliance.

Structured Templates—No More Blank-Page Syndrome
uMore auto-populates demographics, billing codes, and last-session goals, which are pulled from your EHR integration. You spend minutes reviewing, not hours drafting, and your notes are instantly synced back to the chart.

Innovative Suggestions & Compliance Guardrails
Our system highlights incomplete risk formulations, contradictory statements, or missing release-of-information tags. Instead of combing through manuals, you accept or edit in-line. Clients get safer care; auditors get cleaner charts.

Custom Homework
We can even generate homework to send to your patients from the notes, create follow up activities with minimal effort with our AI homework creator and suggestions.

Real-World Impact

Our customer, Joevan Palmer, a therapist and social worker, saved 9.5 clinical hours in his first workweek after enabling Async Note-Taking.

"uMore solves every problem I have as a therapist, all for one low price. It saves time by transcribing my notes, and takes it a step further by saving me time on client homework."

Security First, Always

All audio and text are encrypted in transit and at rest. We retain the minimum viable data for the minimum required time, with region-specific storage options to match  U.S. and EU compliance frameworks. Role-based access controls ensure that only credentialed users can view protected health information (PHI). In other words, the hours you gain never compromise patient privacy.

Ready to Get Your Day Back?

Switching on Async Note-Taking is as simple as flipping a toggle in your uMore dashboard. Record your next session, approve the AI-drafted note at lunch, and watch your evening schedule clear. Two extra hours a day isn’t a moonshot; it’s modern workflow design—built for clinicians, by clinicians, and available today.
