How it works with your EHR

Capture a session in Nudge (or upload audio). Your GIRP draft appears with clear G/I/R/P sections. Open a new note in your EHR, launch the Nudge extension, choose the client and note type, and confirm the field mapping. No API keys or IT projects required.

Quick example

GIRP for anxiety goals:

• Goals: reduce panic frequency; improve sleep onset; GAD-7 ↓ by 5 points.

• Intervention: CBT exposure planning; breathing training; cognitive restructuring.

• Response: practiced paced breathing; reports 6/10 → 3/10 anxiety post-exercise; denies SI/HI.

• Plan: assign exposure hierarchy step 2; track sleep latency; next session in 1 week.

FAQs

Can I force bullets for G/I/R/P?
Yes. Choose bullets or paragraphs per note type and save those preferences team-wide.

Will it include medical necessity and continuity language?
Yes. Response/Plan can include justification and linkage to the treatment plan; you can edit before finalizing.

Can we require specific measures (e.g., GAD-7, PHQ-9)?
Yes. Admins can mark sections as required and prompt for outcome measures or risk screens.
