View, Edit, and Delete Existing Notes

All TherapyNotes users have access to create specific types of notes and view or edit the notes they have created. Additionally, clinicians assigned to the same client will have the ability to view each other's notes, allowing for easy collaboration of care.

Each time a note is accessed or edited, the activity is recorded in the Activity Log for your practice. This powerful audit trail is a distinct security and privacy advantage over paper charts.

Role Required: Any

Note: The notes you have access to depend on your role in TherapyNotes. To learn more, read Create a Note.
