For speech pathologists
Your speech pathology notes, done before the next session starts.
Anyhealth turns each session into the record it should produce, structured the way your practice structures it, and writes the note you sign back into your practice management software.
Back-to-back sessions leave ten minutes for a note that has to hold up at a plan review nine months later. Written at the time, it does.
The consults you actually run
Your note format follows the appointment type, so each of these produces the document it should rather than one shape stretched over all of them.
- Initial assessment
- Case history, the assessment you administered, the observations around it and the goals that follow. The document everything afterwards refers back to, and the one most often finished at home.
- Therapy sessions
- Targets, cues, accuracy, what the family or teacher reported and what carries over to next week. A running record whose value is entirely in being kept consistently.
- Reviews and re-assessment
- A comparison against the baseline, which only works if the baseline and everything between are written down in comparable terms rather than in whatever wording the day produced.
- Mealtime and communication planning
- Sessions that produce a document other people have to follow. The record has to be precise enough for a support worker to act on without you in the room.
How a consult becomes a note
Step one
Record the consult, or dictate it afterwards
On your phone, in the room or in the car between visits. Anyhealth already knows who the appointment is for and what kind of appointment it is, because it reads the diary in your practice management software.
Step two
Read the draft in your own format
The note is drafted section by section in the format that appointment type already uses in your practice. Edit anything that is not how you would have put it.
Step three
Sign it, and it is filed
Signing writes the note back into your practice management software, against the right patient and the right appointment. Nothing reaches it unsigned.
NDIS reporting, schools and families
Speech pathology reporting is written for readers outside the profession, on someone else's deadline, from sessions that happened weekly over months. The reporting is only ever as good as the session notes it is assembled from.
- Progress reports for plan reviews
- Anyhealth drafts a progress report from the notes you have already signed for that participant: functional impact, therapy delivered and attendance, progress against goals, and the rationale for ongoing supports in plain language. You edit it before it goes to the coordinator or plan manager.
- Correspondence with schools and referrers
- A reply to a referring practitioner or a summary a teacher can act on, drafted from the same signed notes and edited by you. Two audiences, one underlying record.
- The weekly session record itself
- The paperwork most likely to slip, because each individual note is small and none of them is urgent until the review. Written at the time, they are also the report.
Reports drafted from the notes you already signed
A report is only ever as good as the record underneath it, and the record is the part that gets squeezed. Anyhealth drafts NDIS progress reports, workers compensation letters, reports back to a referring GP and referral replies from the notes you have already signed for that patient.
The draft is a starting point, not a submission. You edit it, and it is yours to copy or download. Unlike a signed note, a letter is not written into your practice management software automatically — what leaves your hands is something you have read and decided to send.
Configured to your appointment types, not to a discipline
There is no speech pathology edition of Anyhealth, and that is a feature rather than an omission. Note formats follow the appointment types your practice already runs, configured with you during onboarding, so the structure matches your practice rather than a template someone else chose.
It also means a practice with speech pathologists and a myotherapist in the same rooms gives both of them the right note. Chiropractors, myotherapists, audiologists, social workers, counsellors and any other allied health discipline that has to write up a consult are set up the same way.
Australian, and it stays that way
Audio, transcripts and clinical content are processed and stored in Australia, in AWS’s Sydney region. Note drafting runs on an Australia-only inference profile. Identifiable content is not used to train models.
Your clinical records remain the property of your practice. Signed notes are written back into your own practice management software as you sign them, so if you stop using Anyhealth the records are already where they belong.
Common questions
- Is Anyhealth an AI scribe for speech pathologists?
It does the job people mean by that, and then the part they do not. Anyhealth records the session, drafts the note in your own format, and you read and sign it. The note is written back into your practice management software, and the reports you owe afterwards are drafted from those signed notes.
- Does it cope with a session where the client is a child and the parent does most of the talking?
Yes. The recording is of the session as it happened, and the draft note reflects what was said in the room, including what a parent or carer reported. You read and edit the draft before signing, which is where anything attributed to the wrong speaker gets corrected.
- Can it write an NDIS progress report?
It drafts one from the notes you have already signed for that participant, and you edit it before sending. The draft is yours to copy or download; unlike a signed note, a letter is not written into your practice management software automatically.
Start with one of your own consults.
Every practice is onboarded by hand, so the first conversation is a real one: what you document, which system you are on, and whether Anyhealth fits. If it does not, we will say so.
