Assessment

Less paperwork around every consultation.

Forms that chase themselves, a briefing before the appointment, and a report drafted with its sources, so clinicians spend their hours on the patient.

How it works

The clinician arrives briefed. The report arrives drafted, with its sources.

Most of an assessment's hours go on paperwork around the consultation: chasing forms, reading them, typing up, writing the report. Baton does that work from the evidence the clinic already holds, and shows its sources, so the clinician spends their time on the patient and on the judgement only they can make.

  1. 1Questionnaires that run themselvesASRS, self and informant reports, AQ-10, PHQ-9 and GAD-7, sent once ID is in, chased on day 3, 7 and 14, scored on return.
  2. 2A briefing before the appointmentDrafted from the chart the moment the pack comes back, and the case moves to the Medical Director to allocate.
  3. 3The consultation, recorded with consentBy video or in the room. Transcribed in the UK, and the audio deleted after a set period.
  4. 4A report with every sentence citedEach drafted sentence points to the form, answer or moment in the transcript it came from. The clinician checks it section by section and signs.
Every sentence of the draft carries its source Four kinds of evidence, the questionnaires, the informant report, the consultation transcript and letters, each feed lines of the draft report, and each line is labelled with the source it came from. Diagnosis, mental state and recommendations are left for the clinician.

Diagnosis, mental state examination and recommendations are left for the clinician. Baton drafts what the evidence says; it never suggests a diagnosis.

Never outside the record

Drafts come only from what the clinic holds: the forms, the transcript, the letters. Nothing invented.

Never without consent

Recording starts only once the patient has agreed, and they can ask for it to stop.

Never the decision

Screening rules suggest and alerts flag. A clinician assesses, prescribes and signs.
