Co-agent workflow for therapy practices
Co-agent workflow for therapy practices
Small group and supervised practice
Ontario practices with 2–4 clinicians — or solo RPs supervising RP (Qualifying) associates — often need someone other than the therapist of record to review intake:
- Admin assistant confirms insurance card and consent completeness
- Associate reviews biopsychosocial form before first supervised session
- Practice manager exports intake package into Jane or Owl
Without shared file access, intake review bottlenecks on the senior clinician's inbox.
Co-agent in Hivi-X
Enterprise tier includes co-agent workflows:
- Delegate client file access with permission controls
- Co-agents review checklist submission status
- Approve or reject uploads per item
- Voice summaries and exports available per plan features
The registrant of record remains the health information custodian and accountable for the clinical file under PHIPA and CRPO.
When Enterprise makes sense
| Practice shape | Typical tier |
|---|---|
| Solo RP | Starter ($39) or Professional ($59) |
| Busy solo with voice AI | Professional ($59) |
| 2–4 clinicians + admin | Enterprise ($99) |
General information for Ontario psychotherapists and counselling practices only. Not legal, clinical, privacy, or psychotherapy advice. Not affiliated with or endorsed by CRPO or any college. Hivi-X is document-collection software — it is not a licensed psychotherapist, does not provide psychotherapy or clinical assessments, does not certify PHIPA or CRPO compliance, and does not replace your EMR or clinical record obligations. You remain the health information custodian under PHIPA. Consult qualified counsel and your professional liability insurer.
Answers are general operational information only — not legal, tax, regulatory, clinical, privacy, immigration, or professional advice. Requirements vary by matter, client, and regulator.
