SOAP Charting

SOAPware derives its name from the SOAP format used for encounter documentation (i.e. Subjective, Objective, Assessment and Plan).

In SOAPware, the legacy format for encounters is for the Plan to be further divided into two (2) fields:

  1. Medications
  2. Follow-up

Subjective

Subjective

The history or information offered by the patient.

Objective

Objective

The findings discovered by clinical examination.

Assessment

Assessment

The diagnoses addressed during the encounter.

Plan

Plan

The plans for the patient's care going forward.

Medications

Medications

The medications prescribed.

Follow-up

Follow-up

The follow-up instructions.
