Thank you Becca for your message. The idea with a "Physician Summary" section, is that the provider can send a quick message to the physician on the progress note with some information that the physician can read quickly. If they would like to though, they could also read through our comprehensive note for all the information related to the visit. I think having the ability to customize what subsections are sent to the physician is a good idea, but I don't think this eliminates that need for a physician summary section.
Another thought could be to allow a clinic to add a customized section on their own that would show up on a report. The clinic would be able to create their own section title, locate the section at the top or bottom of the report, and free type information.
Thank you again for your message. I appreciate it.
Hi, thanks for your feedback! We will be adding a feature in 2020 that will allow Members to customize which subsections appear on their printed notes, so you can build your report to only include information that you feel is relevant to physicians.
Also, SOAP 2.0 will carry-forward all fields from the last note, even when a Progress Note is created. We hope you find this helpful!
Would like to see also the ability for the additional comments boxes to be carried over into progress notes since using the drop-down boxes are often very time-consuming. We like to summarize our strength and range of motion findings in the additional comments but once a progress note is established the previous information does not carry through on the additional comments boxes. Can this be arranged. Or if there’s another way to do the above with a summary box for the physicians. Very redundant and hard for the physicians to read progress notes the way they’re set up now.
