Three GIRP note templates for therapists whose notes start with the goal. The treatment plan objective goes at the top, and Intervention, Response and Plan all trace back to it, which is the link that makes a progress note defensible. Each template expands from a shortcut with the sections and their prompts already in place.

What's inside: three GIRP note templates

• girp.note is the quick one. Plain text, client and session details across the top, then Goal, Intervention, Response and Plan with prompts in each.
• girp.form is the billing version. It fills in the location code and CPT from the service description and duration (90837 from 53 minutes, 90834 from 38, 90832 from 16, 90839 for crisis), then takes ICD-10 diagnoses and the goal status.
• girp.guided is the full note. Start and stop times work themselves out from the duration, and there are menus for mental status (appearance, speech, mood, affect, thought process and content, insight, judgment), a danger-to risk screen, 27 interventions to pick from, plus medications and participants.

Everything traces back to the goal

Write the objective the way it appears in the treatment plan, then say which techniques you used on it, then what the client could actually do afterwards, quantified. The guided version ends with three questions before you sign: does the intervention section name techniques rather than "support", does the response section say something measurable, and does the plan trace back to the goal at the top.

How it works

1. Add the folder, then type girp.note, girp.form or girp.guided wherever you write notes in Chrome.
2. Work down the menus and prompts. You type only what is specific to this session.
3. Your name and credentials carry to the signature. Check the billing codes against your payer contracts before the claim goes out.
