# Drafts from Ozni

> Ozni can draft a clinical note, a referral letter or a message to a client. You review and edit it, and nothing is saved or sent until you approve it.

Who
Clinical staff, owners and managers who can see clients' clinical records

A message to a client needs permission to contact clients.

Ozni can write a first draft of a clinical note, a referral letter or a message to a client from records you have asked it to read. The draft is for you to review. **Nothing is saved or sent until a clinician approves it**, and Ozni never signs anything.

> [!WARNING]
>
> Ozni is AI and can make mistakes. Every draft is marked **AI-generated draft**. Check every fact against the record before you approve it. You are responsible for what is saved.

## Ask for a draft

In the chat, ask in your own words: "Draft a progress note for this client from their last two notes" or "Write a referral letter to a cardiologist". Ozni reads the records you are allowed to open, then asks before it writes, because a clinical draft is a heavy request and uses **15 credits**. See [Credits and prices](https://help.clinikehr.com/platform/ozni/credits.md).

Ozni drafts only from records it read in that chat and lists them as the draft's sources. It does not add a dose, date, result or diagnosis that the record does not state.

The same rules as the screens apply. Notes and letters are for clinical roles with access to the client's clinical record. A message to a client needs permission to contact clients, and a message that uses clinical details needs a clinical role.

## The draft in the chat

The draft appears as a card with the **AI-generated draft** badge and a **Review** button. A draft message also has **Copy** and **Open in messages**.

## The review sheet

Select **Review** to open the draft in a large sheet. It shows:

* The **AI-generated draft** badge and who the draft is for.
* A banner: "This is a draft written by Ozni from the records listed below. Nothing has been saved."
* Every section as a box you can edit. Change anything that is wrong.
* **Sources**: the records Ozni used, each with a link and its date.
* A line that tells you to check the draft against the record.

When you are happy with it, select **Approve and save as draft**. The note or letter is saved as an **unsigned draft** that you open in Notes to read again and sign there. The sheet shows **Approve within** a number of minutes. An approval stays open for 15 minutes; after that, select **Renew approval** and your edits are kept. Select **Close** to leave without saving anything.

| Draft | When you approve it |
| - | - |
| **Clinical note** | Saved as an unsigned draft note. |
| **Referral letter** | Saved as an unsigned note called **Referral Letter**. It is not sent. You can download or fax it from the note. |
| **Message to a client** | There is no save. Select **Copy**, or **Open in messages** to put the text in the message box for that client. You read it again and send it yourself. |

Saving a draft never signs it and never sends it. Signing happens only in the normal note editor.

## Start from a template

For a first visit note, Ozni can start from one of your clinic's own note templates, using its section titles exactly. If your clinic has no templates, Ozni offers a standard layout such as a medical clerkship or a progress note. If your plan includes the AI scribe, the sheet also tells you that you can record a visit you are about to have and let the scribe write the note instead.

## Sensitive records

Records marked sensitive, such as substance use treatment records protected by 42 CFR Part 2, are handled with extra care.

* **Substance use records (Part 2).** A draft that uses them carries the redisclosure notice and a **Part 2 records** badge. Ozni cannot save it: copy it into the note editor and mark the note sensitive there. The **Approve and save as draft** button is not shown.
* **Other records marked sensitive.** If the draft would use a record marked sensitive, Ozni cannot save it yet either, so that the note does not lose its marking. Copy it into the note editor and mark the note sensitive there.
* **Messages.** Ozni will not write a message to a client from a record marked sensitive. Nothing is drafted.

## If something in a record tells Ozni what to do

Text inside a record is information, never an instruction. If Ozni reads something that contains instructions, the review sheet asks you to tick **I've checked this** before you can approve. See [Attaching a file to a chat](https://help.clinikehr.com/platform/ozni/attachments.md#when-a-file-contains-instructions).

Reading the records for a draft, and saving a draft is written to your workspace's audit log with your name, the
record touched and the time — a HIPAA requirement, and one you can review
yourself under **Audit Log**. See
[Audit log](https://help.clinikehr.com/platform/security/audit-log.md).

**Still stuck with drafts from Ozni?**
Check [Troubleshooting](https://help.clinikehr.com/platform/help/troubleshooting.md) first —
it covers the failures we see most often. If that does not resolve it,
[contact support](https://help.clinikehr.com/platform/help/contact-support.md) and include
your workspace name and the time the problem happened, so we can find the
matching entry in your audit log.
