Tips for SOAP note assignments:
- Do NOT choose a patient who came for a follow-up/wellness visit/annual check-up visit.You must select 3 patients out of the 125 that you must see throughout the term. Select a patient that has medical conditions that allow you to properly develop your note. If you cannot develop a required section of the SOAP note because you chose a patient who came for a follow-up/wellness/annual check-up visit, then you will not get points for that section. Do not use a template that you already used and submitted on previous courses. Start adding the information on a new template.
- Read the rubric and address it accordingly. Do not have an empty section in the template.
- Do NOT document normal or WNL as an assessment finding
- Review the difference between ROS & physical examination (remember that in your ROS you only document subjective data and in the physical exam you only document objective data)
- Turn-it-in score must be 20% or less (more than 20% will result in a “0”). AI report will be run for all SOAP notes.
- Do NOT alter the template – do not remove or add sections
- Look at the LAB(S) component of the rubric and find where to document that on the template (at the end of the physical examination)
