When I tell patients I use Stream, I explain it helps keep me organized and makes sure I follow through on everything I said I would do. That means fewer dropped tasks and better care.

At Bright Star Primary Care, Nurse Practitioner Laura Black sees 20–24 patients a day. Her approach to functional medicine means longer visits and deeper histories, with detailed reviews of systems. For Laura, this created a heavy documentation load.

Before Stream

She was freehanding her review of systems, manually coding encounters, and often finishing notes after hours. Tasks sometimes risked being forgotten because her notes didn’t always capture everything promised during the visit.

Turning Point

Stream changed Laura's workflow. Now, she simply records the visit and lets Stream generate a structured, problem-based note with accurate ICD-10 codes. She reviews, saves, and moves on to the next patient—more often finishing documentation in real time.

Quick Benefits at a Glance

✅ More notes finished during the day

✅ Accurate ICD and CPT coding support

✅ Organized documentation for complex care

✅ Works for both in-person visits and phone calls

✅ Fewer missed tasks and follow-ups

Why It Matters

For Laura, Stream doesn’t just save time—it improves care. By reliably tracking everything promised to patients, Stream helps reduce dropped tasks, giving patients more confidence and giving her more time back.
