Notes sit in a field open to all
Session content written in the general note on the patient record can be seen by the front desk.
Private Session Notes
Your session notes, open only to you.
In psychology, session notes are the most sensitive data. Clineo ties these notes to roles and permissions; neither the front desk nor any other user can see them — only you.

Write the session note; permissions decide who can see it. What the client shares stays closed, even within the clinic.
Familiar problems
Who can see session notes at the clinic?
In psychology, session notes are the most sensitive data; keeping them in a general notes field undermines privacy.
Privacy is left to a setting
You have to think “who will see this” every time; when you forget, the content is exposed.
Practitioners avoid taking notes
Because of the chance of being seen, the practitioner doesn’t take notes; follow-up weakens.
What changes
Before and after.
You take the same notes; who can see them is clear from the start.

Neo doesn’t show this note.
Permission rules apply to Neo in exactly the same way. Even if an unauthorized user asks Neo, the private session note isn’t shown.
Clear limits: Neo doesn’t make clinical decisions and doesn’t show data you’re not authorized to see. Permission rules apply to Neo exactly the same way. Take a closer look at Neo.
Where to start
What’s the first step?
Before you start, review permissions: role settings determine who can see session notes. Once you set this up correctly during setup, you don’t need to think about it separately for each note. Then you turn the session structure you use most into a template; note-taking gets faster and stays orderly.
