Background
Dr. Ifeanyi Olele is a psychiatrist and the founder of Genesis Psychiatric Solutions and Genesis TMS & Wellness, with locations in Fairfax and Alexandria, Virginia, and Washington D.C. He also sees patients remotely from Maryland, California, and Florida. He provides psychiatric medication management, psychotherapy, and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), and has precepted over 50 PA and NP students since opening his private practice in 2019.
The Challenge: Clinical documentation that piles up fast
“Sometimes life is life-ing and so stuff starts building up. And then now you have a mountain of notes, and that could cause anxiety to anybody—even a psychiatrist like myself.”
Even as an experienced clinician who can type while speaking, Dr. Olele found that clinical notes, especially detailed psychiatric evaluations, would often stack up throughout the week. The longer the delay, the more stressful it became to catch up.
Before Heidi, he tried other tools, but they weren’t cutting it for his workflow:
“I’ve tried different services… but they required a lot of prompting and editing. That took a lot of time and made it frustrating on the user end.”
The Solution: Templates and real-time note capture tailored for psychiatry
“Upon the recommendation of my sister-in-law, she mentioned Heidi Health. I tried it and I fell in love with it.”
Dr. Olele now uses Heidi during both virtual and in-person patient sessions. After creating templates in Heidi, modeled after his own note-taking style, he has used them over 2,000 times.
“I created two templates, one for my initial psych eval and the other one for my follow-up.”
Heidi captures clinical conversation in real-time, organizes it into his preferred note format, and reliably includes key psychiatry-specific components, such as:
- Medication history
