The âSâ includes the patientâs reported difficulties, their goals, medical history and social history â anything that the patient says that is important to document is written here. The âOâ includes the clinicianâs data based on formal and informal assessment â includes muscle strength, range of movement, visual perceptual results, etc. The âAâ is your opinion about what is happening â includes prognosis, diagnosis and goal. The âPâ is your plan of action â how you intend to achieve the listed goals from âAâ and what sortâs of input may be needed. I understand that the OT schools are trying to move away from using SOAP notes because they are such a lengthly process. While they help to clarify your thought process they can take up a lot of time. Maybe try speaking to your supervisor about it?

Hi, I am a OT in uk and have difficulty with my note writing due to my dyslexia. I was wondering if anybody have information on SOAP notes and information on writing them as it is getting me down at work. Many thanks emma -- Unsubscribe?
