What is the form that allows the physician to record findings in the medical record?
Medical records use different formats. One of the most popular formats is the SOAP note. SOAP stands for:
- S = subjective
- O=objective
- A=assessment
- P=Plan
Note that the medical record rarely uses a "form" for physician notes, but uses a "format", often including a narrative section.
Some institutions require SOAP notes from nurses, but other institutions use varying types of notes.
