Safe Network

Safe Network has recently approved the use of the AI tool, NovoNote, for transcribing clinical notes from client sessions and assisting with the drafting of reports.

NovoNote is an Australian-based tool, specifically designed for psychology and counselling services. Prior to approving NovoNote, Safe Network did a thorough review to ensure it met our requirements around protecting our clients’ privacy and confidentiality rights.

The use of NovoNote will be rolled out progressively over coming months and will only be used where clients have consented to it. Our aim is to utilise this tool to free up some of our clinicians’ administration time for more time to meet with clients.

Safe Network’s referral forms for our adult services are now online, making the referral process easier and helping us get all the information we need to review the referral and determine whether the person referred is suitable for our services.

There are referral forms for both our Waka Waiora / Journey to Wellbeing Harmful Sexual Behaviour service and our Kaiwhakatere / Navigator Concerning Sexual Ideation service. Referrals generally take 10-20 minutes to complete and can be saved in draft if not completed in one go.

The implementation of online referral forms for adult services completes the process of having referrals for all of Safe Network’s services available online through our website (https://zurl.co/SXk3Z).
