A SOAP note (which stands for Subjective, Objective, Assessment, and Plan) is a document that's used by healthcare providers to create a patient's chart. It's especially useful for assessing, diagnosing, and treating patients.
SOAP Notes make it easy to capture visit details for each client, retrieve history, and view progress. Additionally, you can duplicate, add to, or edit client SOAP Notes.
There are three pre-made SOAP notes you can fill out. You can also create your own custom SOAP note templates with the Forms feature:
-
SOAP Notes Face adds a facial anatomy chart
-
SOAP Notes
-
SOAP Notes Advanced adds an anatomy chart to pinpoint treatment areas
You can add notations, highlights, etc., to both the face and body charts and images you upload.
