Capture the care story without turning away
Organize the patient’s goals, progress since the last visit, current challenges, support network, safety context, and shared decisions in one structured note.

Frequentlyaskedquestions
Answers about specialty templates, follow-up detail, safety planning, editing, team workflows, multilingual visits, privacy, and EMR handoff.
Can we use our existing addiction medicine templates?
Yes. Teams can build or import templates for assessments, follow-up visits, care planning, team handoffs, outreach, and other program workflows. Each service can refine the structure, terminology, and level of detail it uses.
What can Vero organize from an addiction medicine follow-up?
Vero can organize the patient’s goals, progress since the prior visit, current challenges, care-plan updates, support network, safety planning, shared decisions, and the agreed next step into a structured draft.
Can Vero document safety planning and support conversations?
Yes. When these topics are discussed, Vero can help organize safeguards, wellbeing check-ins, practical resources, family or community supports, and follow-up responsibilities in the appropriate sections of the note and patient plan.
Can our team edit the draft before it reaches the EMR?
Yes. The note remains editable in Vero, so the care team can adjust wording, structure, and level of detail before copying or exporting the completed record into its existing workflow.
How can an interdisciplinary addiction care team use Vero?
Physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses, counsellors, social workers, pharmacists, and peer-support teams can work from shared documentation structures while keeping responsibilities clear. Team plans include role-based collaboration, reusable templates, and onboarding support for the service.
Can Vero capture multilingual addiction medicine visits?
Vero supports 60+ languages and can transcribe up to three languages in one encounter. The clinician chooses the language for the completed draft, including visits involving a patient, family member, interpreter, or multilingual care team.
How does Vero protect sensitive patient information?
Vero is HIPAA and PIPEDA compliant and SOC 2 Type II certified. Encounter audio is not stored, customer data is not sold or used to train public AI models, and configurable retention controls support each organization’s information-governance policies.
How does Vero fit into our current addiction medicine workflow?
Clinicians can review and edit the draft in Vero, then copy or export the approved content into the existing EMR. The workspace can be used on desktop or mobile across clinic visits, hospital consultations, virtual appointments, outreach, and phone follow-up.
