Reimagining Report Writing: How We're Giving More OTs Time to Do What They Love
Over the past six months, a group of our occupational therapists — together with partners across the charity and local authority sectors — have been part of an exciting beta programme for our new Report Writer, a bespoke report-writing platform designed by OTs, for OTs. Following overwhelmingly positive feedback, we’re now preparing to roll it out more widely across our services, including to case managers and education sector partners.
For therapists interested in joining us, Report Writer is one of the key ways we’re transforming practice to give OTs more of what they love: time with clients, meaningful assessments, and practical problem-solving — not paperwork.
Technology That Enhances Practice
At The OT Practice, we believe that technology should support clinical reasoning, not compete with it. That’s why Report Writer has been researched, designed, and developed entirely in-house, combining expert OT knowledge with a growing technical capability.
The result is a sophisticated, cross-device system that enhances the quality, clarity, and efficiency of clinical report writing — all while keeping therapists firmly in the driving seat.
Unlike traditional methods where large sections of the report are written only after the assessment, Report Writer integrates seamlessly into every stage of the workflow. Information captured at referral flows automatically into the assessment, and OTs can add details during visits using a tablet or mobile device.
Created With OTs, For OTs
Every feature has been shaped by real practice. Through structured templates, guided prompts, and built-in examples, Report Writer supports:
- clear, well-reasoned clinical recommendations
- consistent, high-quality reporting across settings
- customisation to each client’s unique situation
The platform also includes quality checks that streamline the QA process — supporting therapists to meet professional standards without the time burden.
Our charity partners have been especially positive, reporting that the tool helps them produce clearer, more consistent reports that strengthen outcomes for the people they support.
Why Therapists Love It
Report Writer is already transforming the way our teams work.
-** More time for practice**: Automated data transfer and formatting reduce admin, freeing you to focus on clients.
-
Better work–life balance: Less evening report writing and fewer administrative pressures.
-
Confidence & consistency: Structured templates and embedded reasoning tools support quality and clarity in every report.
-
Future-ready practice: A platform designed to integrate AI safely and appropriately — enhancing efficiency without compromising clinical judgment.
Innovating for the Future of OT
Report Writer is currently optimised for housing and equipment assessments, but development is already underway to expand it to all OT specialisms. Soon, therapists will be able to produce assessment reports, specifications, and supporting documents across the full spectrum of practice.
We’re also exploring AI-assisted authoring tools that will help OTs produce high-quality reports even more efficiently — always with clinical reasoning and professional judgment firmly at the centre.
