SOAP Note Buddy Works Seamlessly with Kinnser
Kinnser (now WellSky Personal Care) is one of the most widely used EHR systems for home health, hospice, and personal care agencies. It's known for its comprehensive OASIS documentation, scheduling tools, and billing integration.
SOAP Note Buddy works alongside Kinnser to automate your documentation. It runs as a browser extension (Chrome, Safari, Brave, Edge) at your desk, plus iOS and Android apps for documenting in the field between home visits, all on one subscription that syncs across devices. While Kinnser provides the platform for managing patient records and compliance, SOAP Note Buddy adds AI-powered note generation that fills Kinnser's documentation fields automatically.
SOAP Note Buddy works as a browser extension - if Kinnser runs in Chrome, we can detect and fill its fields. No API setup, no IT tickets, no waiting for approvals.
Home Health Documentation Challenges
Home health clinicians face unique documentation burdens that office-based providers don't experience:
- Field Documentation - Notes must be completed after each home visit, often in your car or after a long day of driving between patients
- OASIS Assessments - Comprehensive assessments with dozens of fields that must be completed accurately for reimbursement
- Care Plan Updates - Each visit requires documenting progress toward goals and updating plans of care
- Skilled Nursing Justification - Medicare requires detailed documentation of why skilled services are medically necessary
- Multiple Patients Per Day - Seeing 5-7 patients daily means hours of documentation after your last visit
- Compliance Requirements - Home health agencies face rigorous audits requiring thorough, consistent documentation
Our AI is trained to generate documentation that supports skilled services justification, homebound status, and functional goal progress - the elements home health auditors look for.
How SOAP Note Buddy Works with Kinnser
SOAP Note Buddy integrates with Kinnser through intelligent field detection. Here's the step-by-step process:
Get SOAP Note Buddy
Start your free trial, then add the browser extension (Chrome, Safari, Brave, Edge) or install the iOS or Android app. Setup takes under a minute, with no IT approval required.
Add Your Patient Context
Enter the patient's evaluation summary - diagnosis, goals, interventions, homebound status, and relevant history. This information stays on your local device and is never stored on our servers.
Open Kinnser
Navigate to your patient's chart in Kinnser. SOAP Note Buddy automatically detects all documentation fields - visit notes, OASIS sections, care plan updates, and narrative fields.
Click Generate
With one click, AI generates personalized clinical content and fills your Kinnser fields directly. Review the content, make any adjustments, and submit.
SOAP Note Buddy uses AI to understand field context, not just field names. It recognizes Kinnser's visit note sections, OASIS fields, and documentation areas automatically.
Between home visits, use Voice Scribe on the iOS or Android app to record the encounter hands-free in your car. It auto-transcribes into a clinical note you can finish before your next stop, no typing required. Voice Scribe is part of the Unlimited+ plan.

Kinnser Fields We Support
SOAP Note Buddy automatically detects and fills common Kinnser documentation fields:
- Visit Notes - Skilled nursing narratives, therapy visit documentation, aide visit summaries
- OASIS Documentation - Assessment narratives, functional status descriptions, clinical findings
- Care Plan Updates - Goal progress notes, plan of care modifications, intervention documentation
- Skilled Services Justification - Medical necessity narratives, skilled intervention rationale

SOAP Note Buddy uses AI-driven field detection based on context, not hardcoded field names. If Kinnser (WellSky) updates their interface, we adapt automatically.
Kinnser Users Save Hours Every Week
"Home health documentation in Kinnser used to consume my entire evening. With 6-7 patients per day, I was spending 2-3 hours every night finishing notes. SOAP Note Buddy changed that completely - I finish documentation in my car between visits and I'm home with my family by 5pm."
At 6 patients/day, saving 20 minutes per note = 10 hours per week

Start Your Free TrialKinnser Integration FAQ
Does SOAP Note Buddy officially integrate with Kinnser?
SOAP Note Buddy works as a browser extension (Chrome, Safari, Brave, Edge), so it doesn't require an official integration or API connection. If Kinnser runs in your browser, SOAP Note Buddy can detect and fill fields automatically. No IT approval or setup required.
Will my agency's IT department need to approve this?
No. SOAP Note Buddy is a personal browser extension (Chrome, Safari, Brave, Edge), with companion iOS and Android apps, that you install yourself. It doesn't require any server-side integration or IT approval. Your patient data stays on your device and is processed securely.
Is SOAP Note Buddy HIPAA compliant with Kinnser?
Yes. PHI is automatically scrubbed before any data is sent to AI processing. Patient names, DOBs, addresses, and identifiers are removed locally on your device. We're HIPAA compliant and offer a Business Associate Agreement (BAA).
Does it work with WellSky Personal Care (the new Kinnser)?
Yes! Kinnser was acquired by WellSky and rebranded as WellSky Personal Care. SOAP Note Buddy works with both the legacy Kinnser interface and the updated WellSky Personal Care platform.
Can it help with OASIS documentation?
SOAP Note Buddy can fill narrative OASIS fields and assessment descriptions. For clinical assessment scores (like M-scores), you still need clinical judgment, but the AI can help with supporting documentation and narratives.
What if my agency switches to a different EHR?
SOAP Note Buddy works with any browser-based EHR including Homecare Homebase, MatrixCare, Axxess, and more. If your agency changes systems, your workflow stays the same - one subscription covers all EHRs.
How much does it cost?
Plans start at $29/mo (Starter, 40 notes/mo), $59/mo (Unlimited), or $89/mo (Unlimited+ adds Voice Scribe and Smart Image Analysis). Annual saves ~15%. Free 7 day trial. Less than half the cost of Freed ($39-$119/mo) or Heidi ($150/mo), and far cheaper than agency add-ons.
Is there a free trial?
Yes! 7 day free trial. A credit card is required but you won't be charged if you cancel within 7 days. No pressure, no sales calls.
