What is a SOAP Note?

The SOAP Note is one of the forms utilized in the healthcare industry when collecting all of the data of an admitted patient and comprises a part of the patient’s records.

Basically, it’s an acronym where S stands for subjective, O - objective, A - assessment and P - plan. The form can come in different variants and formats depending on the doctor or the patient’s complaints. It can also be used for communication between physicians by adding notes.

For example, if a patient visits another specialist, the documented clinical record gives the specialist an overall idea of the patient’s condition without needing direct contact with the other doctor.

Each point has to be described separately:

Subjective depicts what actually happened, symptoms and history of the disease or injury based on the words of the patient.
The objective is a description from the position of the medical worker who makes a conclusion according to their observation and the results of various medical tests.
Assessment is a probable diagnosis and state of the current problem, for example, whether it's chronic or acute.
The plan is a prescribed treatment. It may be as brief as a receipt or as long as a detailed long-term therapy.

Great services with an excellent customer care policy I enjoyed great services provided by pdfFiller through an annual plan. I used their service in all my dealings with pdf documents. Then for professional reasons, I had to cancel my subscription, and pdfFiller team was extremely kind in offering me a full refund of my subscription fee. Just after 3 minutes of sending them a message, they responded back explaining the details of my refund process. That is what I call a great customer care and professionalism! Once again thanks a lot!
