How One PMHNP Cut 7 Hours of Charting a Week
How One PMHNP Cut 7 Hours of Charting a Week
Mariah H., PMHNP, once spent weekends charting. With Freed, she saves 7 hours weekly — and logs off after her last visit.
Before Freed
“If you're one day behind [on charts], it just is like this avalanche of stress.”
Mariah’s old charting workflow might sound familiar:
Take notes directly in EHR during patient sessions
Spend 20+ minutes finalizing each note
Dedicate entire admin days to catch up on documentation
Sacrifice vacation time to clear documentation backlog
Feel constant pressure from insurance documentation deadlines (48-72 hours)
After Freed
"I work smarter, not harder. I like to live life, I don't want to live to work, I want to work to live."
Mariah’s new charting workflow with Freed:
Start recording during each session
Converse naturally, verbalizing things she wants to capture (like medications)
Receive a comprehensive note minutes after visit ends
Spend just 1-2 minutes reviewing each note
Now she closes computer and enjoy evenings and weekends
"When I took a trip, My husband would drive, and for that whole four hours, I was catching up on charts. Never again."
Mariah chose Freed for its:
Work-life balance
Mariah now protects her time off and takes Mondays and Fridays for admin, when possible. Charting is done before she leaves the office, so Mariah can truly unplug.
Comprehensiveness
Mental health conversations weave daily life and clinical symptoms. Freed uses specialty-specific templates for these notes. For Mariah, that means organizing assessments and treatment plans formatted for mental health.
Smart conversation filtering
Freed filters out irrelevant chit chat while capturing clinical details that matter, connecting the dots between information even when those connections aren't explicitly stated.
“It is a business changer and a life changer. I do feel like it gave me back my life."
Features
After adopting Freed into her practice, Mariah relies on several key features:
Magic edit
Mariah can easily make complex edits to a note, from reworking the whole thing, to a quick undo. She can even ask for sweeping changes and get them done in seconds.
Custom template builder
Mariah creates and saves structured note templates that are tailored to her clinical workflow and speciality. She prefers to write her notes and plans in an easy-to-read bulleted list format.
Personalization
With a little training, Freed learned to write notes that match Mariah's style. The AI adapted to her preferred format, creating documentation that sounds like she wrote it herself.
Freed for mental health practitioners
“It would be hard for me to find another product that matches what Freed can do, and I wouldn’t want to.”
