AI features are starting to appear in EHRs, and it’s easy to assume that built-in means better. But just because a tool is included with your software doesn’t mean it puts you, or your clients, first.
At first glance, SimplePractice’s Note Taker and Blueprint may seem similar. But therapists who’ve tried both have quickly noticed the difference — not just in flexibility and note quality, but also in how each tool handles treatment planning, support, and even data privacy.
When You Need More Than a Copy/Paste Draft Note
SimplePractice’s Note Taker can produce a note from a telehealth session — but that’s where the support ends. There’s no dictation option, no connection to treatment goals, no help with intakes or discharge summaries, and no way to customize or refine your note style. You still have to copy and paste your draft manually, and you don’t have full control over how your data is stored.
Blueprint is different. It’s built for the full scope of care — from intake to discharge — with support for audio recaps, live sessions, couples work, and customizable templates. You get control, flexibility, and clinical depth in one place. It doesn’t just save you time — it works the way you do.
