Student______________________________________
This sheet is to help you understand what we are looking for, and what our margin remarks might be about on your write ups of
patients. Since at all of the white-ups that you hand in are uniform, this represents what MUST be included in every write-up.
1)
Identifying Data (___5pts): The opening list of the note. It contains age, sex, race, marital status, etc. The patient
complaint should be given in quotes. If the patient has more than one complaint, each complaint should be listed
separately (1, 2, etc.) and each addressed in the subjective and under the appropriate number.
2)
Subjective Data (___30pts.): This is the historical part of the note. It contains the following:
a) Symptom analysis/HPI(Location, quality , quantity or severity, timing, setting, factors that make it better or worse,
and associate manifestations.(10pts).
b) Review of systems of associated systems, reporting all pertinent positives and negatives (10pts).
c) Any PMH, family hx, social hx, allergies, medications related to the complaint/problem (10pts). If more than one chief
complaint, each should be written u in this manner.
3)
Objective Data(__25pt.): Vital signs need to be present. Height and Weight should be included where appropriate.
a)
b)
c)
Appropriate systems are examined, listed in the note and consistent with those identified in 2b.(10pts).
Pertinent positives and negatives must be documented for each relevant system.
Any abnormalities must be fully described. Measure and record sizes of things (likes moles, scars). Avoid using
“ok”, “clear”, “within normal limits”, positive/ negative, and normal/abnormal to describe things. (5pts).
4)
Assessment (___10pts.): Encounter paragraph and diagnoses should be clearly listed and worded appropriately
including ICD10 codes.
5)
Plan (___15pts.): Be sure to include any teaching, health maintenance and counseling along with the pharmacological
and non-pharmacological measures. If you have more than one diagnosis, it is helpful to have this section divided into
separate numbered sections.
6)
Subjective/ Objective, Assessment and Management and Consistent (___10pts.): Does the note support the
appropriate differential diagnosis process? Is there evidence that you know what systems and what symptoms go with
which complaints? The assessment/diagnoses should be consistent with the subjective section and then the
assessment and plan. The management should be consistent with the assessment/ diagnoses identified.
7)
Clarity of the Write-up(___5pts.): Is it literate, organized and complete?

Guidelines for Focused SOAP Notes
· Label each section of the SOAP note (each body part and system).
· Do not use unnecessary words or complete sentences.
· Use Standard Abbreviations
S: SUBJECTIVE DATA (information the patient/caregiver tells you).
Chief Complaint (CC): a statement describing the patient’s symptoms, problems, condition, diagnosis,
physician-recommended return(s) for this patient visit. The patient’s own words should be in quotes.
History of present illness (HPI): a chronological description of the development of the patient’s chief
complaint from the first symptom or from the previous encounter to the present. Include the eight
variables (Onset, Location, Duration, Characteristics, Aggravating Factors, Relieving Factors, Treatment,
Severity-OLDCARTS), or an update on health status since the last patient encounter.
Past Medical History (PMH): Update current medications, allergies, prior illnesses and injuries,
operations and hospitalizations allergies, age-appropriate immunization status.
Family History (FH): Update significant medical information about the patient’s family (parents, siblings,
and children). Include specific diseases related to problems identified in CC, HPI or ROS.
Social History(SH): An age-appropriate review of significant activities that may include information such
as marital status, living arrangements, occupation, history of use of drugs, alcohol or tobacco, extent of
education and sexual history.
Review of Systems (ROS). There are 14 systems for review. List positive findings and pertinent negatives
in systems directly related to the systems identified in the CC and symptoms which have occurred since
last visit; (1) constitutional symptoms (e.g., fever, weight loss), (2) eyes, (3) ears, nose, mouth and
throat, (4) cardiovascular, (5) respiratory, (6) gastrointestinal, (7) genitourinary, (8) musculoskeletal, (9}.integument (skin and/or breast), (10) neurological, (11) psychiatric, (12) endocrine, (13)
hematological/lymphatic, {14) allergic/immunologic. The ROS should mirror the PE findings section.
0: OBJECTIVE DATA (information you observe, assessment findings, lab results).
Sufficient physical exam should be performed to evaluate areas suggested by the history and patient’s
progress since last visit. Document specific abnormal and relevant negative findings. Abnormal or
unexpected findings should be described. You should include only the information which was provided
in the case study, do not include additional data.
Record observations for the following systems if applicable to this patient encounter (there are 12
possible systems for examination): Constitutional (e.g. vita! signs, general appearance), Eyes,
ENT/mouth, Cardiovascular, Respiratory, GI, GU, Musculoskeletal, Skin, Neurological, Psychiatric,
Hematological/lymphatic/immunologic/lab testing. The focused PE should only include systems for
which you have been given data.
NOTE: Cardiovascular and Respiratory systems should be assessed on every patient regardless of the
chief complaint.
Testing Results: Results of any diagnostic or lab testing ordered during that patient visit.
A: ASSESSMENT: (this is your diagnosis (es) with the appropriate ICD 10 code)
List and number the possible diagnoses (problems) you have identified. These diagnoses are the
conclusions you have drawn from the subjective and objective data.
Remember: Your subjective and objective data should support your diagnoses and your therapeutic
plan.
Do not write that a diagnosis is to be “ruled out” rather state the working definitions of each differential
or primary diagnosis (es).
For each diagnoses provide a cited rationale for choosing this diagnosis. This rationale includes a one
sentence cited definition of the diagnosis (es) the pathophysiology, the common signs and symptoms,
the patients presenting signs and symptoms and the focused PE findings and tests results that support
the dx. Include the interpretation of all lab data given in the case study and explain how those results
support your chosen diagnosis.
P: PLAN (this is your treatment plan specific to this patient). Each step of your plan must include an EBP
citation.
1. Medications write out the prescription including dispensing information and provide EBP to support
ordering each medication. Be sure to include both prescription and OTC medications.
2. Additional diagnostic tests include EBP citations to support ordering additional tests
3. Education this is part of the chart and should be brief, this is not a patient education sheet and needs
to have a reference.
4. Referrals include citations to support a referral
5. Follow up. Patient follow-up should be specified with time or circumstances of return. You must
provide a reference for your decision on when to follow up.
