The COTA instructed the patient in shower and bathing activities to advance independence and reduce fall risk during hygiene routines. The patient used a four-wheeled walker (4WW) for all functional mobility within the bathroom. The COTA facilitated graded task sequencing throughout the session, monitoring safety responses and adjusting assist levels as the clinical picture required. The patient required minimum assist (min A) for doffing all upper body (UB) garments, demonstrating partial carryover of compensatory techniques previously introduced. The patient performed all lower body (LB) donning and doffing at modified independence (mod I). The patient required min A for cleaning the dorsal surface for infection control purposes, as this area presents increased fall and safety risk when attempted without skilled guidance. The COTA guided the patient in completing the tub-to-shower chair transfer using grab bars, with the patient performing the majority of the seated shower at stand-by assist (SBA). The COTA directed safe seated positioning on the shower chair and monitored dynamic balance throughout to maintain a stable base of support. Energy conservation techniques were instructed, including task sequencing, pacing, and strategic use of the shower chair to reduce exertion demands and support sustained independence with bathing. Fall risk precautions were reviewed, including safe device management with the 4WW in the bathroom environment and appropriate use of grab bars during all phases of the transfer.
Following bathing activities, the COTA facilitated a supine (SUP) therapeutic exercise program using a dowel rod and active-assisted range of motion (AAROM) to address upper and lower extremity strength and trunk stability necessary for bed mobility and functional transfers. The patient completed 10 repetitions of shoulder flexion with the dowel rod bilaterally to improve UB mobility and overhead reach. The patient then performed 10 repetitions of bilateral leg lifts to build lower extremity (LE) strength supporting sit-to-stand and car transfer performance. The session concluded with 10 repetitions of bridging in the supine position to develop trunk stabilization and LE coordination needed for safe bed mobility. The COTA monitored quality of movement throughout each exercise, maintaining proper form and grading the sequencing from distal to proximal demands. Skilled OT services were required throughout this session for clinical monitoring of assist-level fluctuations during shower transfer, grading exercise demand to match the patient's current functional capacity, and instructing compensatory techniques for safe bathing and transfer performance. Services cannot be safely or effectively performed by the patient, family, or unskilled personnel due to the complexity of the patient's condition and need for ongoing clinical judgment.
The COTA will advance UB dressing from min A to stand-by assist and progress AAROM shoulder flexion from 10 repetitions with the dowel rod to 15 repetitions, while introducing compensatory one-handed doffing strategies to support increased independence with upper body bathing and dressing tasks.

Example note built from the shorthand shown — fresh individual documentation made effortless.
Clipped abbreviations, full sentences, or a mix — BUE, ADL, SBA, ROM and the rest all work, and so does plain description. Just leave patient names and dates out: Brevara isn’t HIPAA-compliant. More in our Terms.
Choose OT, COTA, PT, or PTA at signup. Brevara locks it in and automatically scopes every note to your discipline—terminology, supervision rules, and billing codes included.
Type it however it comes out. Clipped abbreviations, full sentences, or whatever mix you naturally use — Brevara reads all of it and turns it into a complete professional note. There is no format to learn.
Get a complete professional note with CPT codes and units calculated. Copy it, paste it into your electronic health record (EHR), and submit.
Billable units calculated automatically per code—timed codes use the CMS 8-minute rule, untimed codes (like hot packs and e-stim) are flagged as 1 unit per session. No mental math, no end-of-day second-guessing. Try our free 8-minute rule calculator.
Brevara reads your note and automatically attaches the appropriate CPT billing codes—no manual lookup needed.
Set your discipline once at signup. Every note is automatically scoped to your discipline — OT, COTA, PT, or PTA — with matching terminology, supervision lines, CPT codes, and clinical framing.
Brevara reads home health and SNF context from your shorthand — PDPM-aware language and Section GG framing for SNF, and a homebound toggle you control for home health.
Complete, professional notes in seconds. No templates to fill, no blanks to complete.
Need to add a time or fix a detail? Send a follow-up message and Brevara updates the note—no starting over.
Brevara recognizes what type of note you need without being told. Type “discharge note” and it generates a full discharge summary. Type “eval” and it switches to evaluation mode with the appropriate eval CPT codes—no template switching required.
Every note includes skilled care rationale, medical necessity language, and precautions documentation—hip, weight-bearing, cardiac, fall risk—woven into every relevant section.
Your note lives only in your browser session while you work — nothing is written to our servers, so there is nothing sitting on a database to breach. Copy it into your EHR before you start the next visit.

No patient names. Nothing saved on our end. One visit, one note, finished before the next door.
You finish the session and head back to the car. Your shorthand is still fresh — that is the moment Brevara is built for.
Clipped abbreviations, full sentences, or both in the same note — plus your times. Use a case number or general descriptor instead of a name, and that is all Brevara needs.
Complete skilled note, appropriate CPT billing codes, and units calculated under the 8-minute rule. Read it, adjust anything, follow up if a detail changed.
Copy into your EHR and submit. The note clears when you start the next one — so you are never carrying six half-finished notes into the evening.
That is the whole workflow. No templates to manage, no drafts piling up, no documentation waiting for you after dinner.
Think about how much time you spend on notes after your last visit — at the kitchen table, in the parking lot, or before pulling out of a patient’s driveway. Brevara handles the note the moment the visit ends. And the notes it writes are thorough, consistent, and clinically sharp every single time — not just when you have the energy.
Whether you’re leaving a SNF or pulling out of a patient’s driveway — notes done, not hours later at home.
Brevara writes the same quality note after your 10th visit as it does after your first — no fatigue, no shortcuts.
No integrations. No training. Type it however you write, copy, paste, submit.

No. Brevara writes the note; you paste it into whatever you already use — Kinnser, HHAeXchange, WebPT, MatrixCare, or anything else. There’s nothing to migrate and no integration to set up.
No. Brevara has no microphone and never listens to a session. You type or paste what you’d have scribbled anyway.
Brevara has no dictation of its own. If you’d rather talk than type, your phone or computer’s built-in dictation works in the input field, and Brevara reads the result exactly as if you’d typed it. That’s your device doing the talk-to-text, not Brevara.
No. Brevara reads clinical shorthand, abbreviations, full sentences, or any mix — and most therapists use a mix without thinking about it. Write the session the way you’d describe it out loud, jot fragments the way you’d scribble them on a form, or switch between them mid-sentence. There’s no format to learn and no template to fill in. Just include your treatment times.
No. Generate, copy, done. Nothing you write is saved on our servers — notes exist only in your browser session.
No. Brevara is not a HIPAA-covered platform. Do not enter patient names, initials, dates of birth, visit dates, room numbers, or any other identifying information — use case numbers, episode numbers, or general clinical descriptors instead. Your normal clinical abbreviations are all fine. Brevara’s AI is instructed to detect identifying information, remove it from the generated note, and include a reminder in its response. Treat that as a backstop, not a guarantee — keeping identifying information out of what you enter is your responsibility. Generated notes are never stored on our servers — they exist only in your browser session.
If your employer requires a signed HIPAA agreement (a Business Associate Agreement, or BAA) covering the software you use, Brevara isn’t the right fit — we don’t offer them. See our Terms and Privacy Policy for full details.
Occupational and physical therapy — OT, COTA, PT and PTA. That’s who Brevara was built around and who it’s tested with.
Brevara reads the timed and untimed interventions from what you wrote and automatically selects appropriate CPT billing codes, then calculates billable units using the CMS 8-minute rule. Always review before submitting — you are responsible for the accuracy of your billing.
Yes. You choose the setting on each note — Home Health, Skilled Nursing, or Outpatient — and Brevara applies the documentation rules for that setting. It doesn’t guess from what you wrote; you select it.
For home health, a Homebound toggle appears. It’s off by default and stays off unless you turn it on, so Brevara never assumes homebound status on your behalf. Turn it on and both Medicare homebound criteria are documented from what you entered. For skilled nursing, documentation uses PDPM framing and Section GG functional language.
One thing to know about billing: every note carries CPT codes and 8-minute rule units. Under Medicare Part A — home health or SNF — your agency bills HCPCS codes or reports minutes on the MDS, and that assignment happens in the agency’s billing system rather than in the note. In those settings the billing summary is a minutes and productivity reference, not a claim calculation.
Just send a follow-up message in the same session. Tell Brevara what to fix — “add 5 minutes to the ADL training” or “patient declined HEP” — and it updates the note without starting over. As long as you haven’t clicked New Note, the session is still there to correct.
Brevara does its best to produce billing-ready notes, with skilled care rationale, medical necessity language, and discipline-appropriate terminology in every section. No documentation tool can guarantee payer acceptance, and reviewing and verifying the billing codes is the therapist’s responsibility before anything is submitted.

Anyone can point an AI at a note. Getting billing codes and skilled-care language right, every time, takes testing.
Every version of Brevara’s note engine runs against a locked battery of test cases before it ships. When a defect turns up, it gets reproduced and measured before it gets fixed — never patched by feel.
The documentation rules come from the manuals — the 8-minute rule for timed codes, PDPM and Section GG for SNF, homebound criteria for home health. Not from guesswork about what payers want to see.
Therapist review shaped Brevara from the very first version — reading real output, flagging anything that didn’t sound like a therapist wrote it, and correcting the clinical language before it shipped. That review hasn’t stopped. It continues with every improvement we make.
Billing rules and documentation expectations shift. When CMS guidance changes or coding language needs updating, the note engine gets revised and re-tested against the same battery before anything reaches your account.
I’m not a therapist. My wife is a COTA, and for years she’d finish a full day of patient care and then spend the evening finishing notes. Brevara is the tool she wanted. She’s tested every version of it, and she still does.
