Put your own numbers in — clinicians, notes, minutes per note, denials — and see hours returned and revenue protected. Every assumption is visible and editable; nothing is a benchmark.
For: Executive directors, CFOs, clinical and operations leaders

clinician hours returned per month — about 3.8 h per clinician per week
An estimate from your inputs, not a promise. Time value is the cost of hours you already pay for; it becomes revenue only if those hours are used for additional visits.
Most documentation ROI models overstate savings by assuming every saved minute becomes a billable session. It doesn't. Some of it becomes a clinician leaving at five instead of seven — which is worth a great deal, but shows up as retention, not revenue. This worksheet keeps those separate.
Some of the largest effects are hard to price: turnover (replacing a clinician commonly costs a substantial fraction of annual salary in recruiting, onboarding and lost visits), audit risk avoided, faster time to signed note and therefore faster claims, and supervisors' time spent on chart review. If your board needs a number for those, estimate them separately and label them as estimates.
Note checks apply your rules at the moment of signing — on 100% of notes, with one-click fixes that cite the session.
