Valant, a leading provider of behavioral health EHR software, has announced expanded capabilities for its AI-powered clinical documentation tool, AI Notes Assist. The updated solution now supports over 100 session templates that clinicians commonly use, including SOAP, DAP, BIRP, and others, allowing them to generate structured notes that fit their existing workflows without having to change how they document care. This aims to reduce rework, improve compliance accuracy, and drive easier adoption across behavioral health teams.

Why it matters

Behavioral health treatment is highly nuanced, and AI tools need to reflect that complexity. Most AI documentation solutions require clinicians to change their workflows, leading to frustration, reduced adoption, and less time spent on patient care. Valant's approach with AI Notes Assist seeks to overcome this challenge by adapting the technology to clinicians' existing habits and preferences, without compromising clinical judgment or the therapeutic provider-patient relationship.

The details

AI Notes Assist now supports a wide range of session note templates, including SOAP, DAP, BIRP, GIRP, Psychiatric Progress notes, Therapy Progress Notes, Discharge Notes, Psychotherapy Notes, Intake Notes, Missed Appointment, CBT, DBT, MFT, EMDR, narrative notes, and custom templates. Clinicians can choose the template they prefer before starting a session, resulting in reduced rework, improved compliance accuracy, and easier adoption across teams. The AI-generated notes capture clinical context and organize information into clear, review-ready documentation, while also providing trustworthy CPT code suggestions. Clinicians remain in control and can review, edit, and sign the notes in minutes.

What they’re saying

“Behavioral health treatment is not one-size-fits-all, and AI needs to reflect the nuanced nature of caring for individuals' mental health.”

— Ram Krishnan, CEO of Valant (PRNewswire)

“The template options give you a lot of flexibility whereas SOAP notes only capture four areas. With the different session formats available, I'm able to capture a fuller picture of the session.”

— Dr. Georgina Rotzler, DNP APRN PMHNP-BC, CEO of Mindful Choice Institute (PRNewswire)

What’s next

Valant plans to continue investing in building tools designed for behavioral health organizations facing rising documentation demands, clinician burnout, and more complex care delivery.

The takeaway

Valant's approach with AI Notes Assist demonstrates how AI-powered solutions can be designed to fit the nuanced workflows of behavioral health clinicians, rather than asking them to change how they work. This helps reduce administrative burden, improve documentation accuracy, and ultimately allows providers to spend more time on patient care and practice growth.
