Key takeaways

  • Systemic-template quality separates couples-capable scribes from generic ones.
  • Diarization above 4 speakers gets messy — verify on real family sessions first.

Workflow

  1. Consent captured from all parties (verbal on-tape minimum).
  2. Session recorded; scribe generates dyadic/family note with per-partner attribution.
  3. Clinician reviews attribution accuracy before signing.
  4. Note copies into EHR under the couple's chart (or individual charts if state requires).

Common objections

"Attribution errors could cause harm."
Systemic-therapy templates and stronger diarization reduce but don't eliminate errors. Clinician review before signing is non-negotiable.

Frequently asked

Can I record a family session with a minor present?
Follow your state's minor-consent law and your practice's family policy. Most states require parent consent; a few require the minor's assent too.
