Occupational Therapy Documentation Challenges
If you're an OT or COTA, you understand the complexity. Documenting ADL performance, sensory processing observations, fine motor skills, and occupation-based interventions takes detailed notes. Add in the need to tie everything back to meaningful functional goals, and you're spending hours after work catching up. It doesn't have to be this way.
Without SOAP Note Buddy
- Hours documenting detailed ADL performance levels
- Writing unique sensory processing observations for each session
- Struggling to connect interventions to occupation-based goals
- Copy-pasting between patients and risking documentation errors
With SOAP Note Buddy
- Generate complete OT notes in seconds
- AI writes detailed, patient-specific ADL documentation
- Automatically connects interventions to functional goals
- Each note is unique and clinically appropriate
How It Works for Occupational Therapy
Add Your Patient
Enter the patient's evaluation summary - diagnosis, occupational profile, functional goals, and intervention approaches. This is stored locally on your device (never on our servers).
Open Your EHR
Navigate to NetHealth, WebPT, Clinicient, TherapySource, or any web-based OT system. SOAP Note Buddy automatically detects the documentation fields.
Click Generate
One click generates personalized SOAP notes based on your patient's specific ADL goals, sensory needs, fine motor skills, and occupation-based interventions.
Review & Submit
Review the AI-generated content, make any needed adjustments, and submit. Documentation that used to take 20+ minutes now takes 2-3.
Features for Occupational Therapy
OT-Specific Templates
Customizable templates for daily notes, progress notes, evaluations, re-evaluations, and discharge summaries. Understands OT terminology, ADL levels, and occupation-based documentation.
Works With NetHealth, WebPT & More
Automatically detects and fills fields in NetHealth, WebPT, Clinicient, TherapySource, and any other browser-based EHR system.
HIPAA Compliant
PHI is automatically removed before AI processing. Patient names, DOBs, and identifiers never leave your device.
Save 10+ Hours/Week
OT documentation that used to take hours now takes minutes. More time for patient care, less time charting after hours.
Goal-Aware AI
Understands that Goal 1 (dressing) is different from Goal 2 (meal prep). Writes unique, appropriate progress notes for each occupation-based goal based on your eval context.
Understands OT Terminology
ADLs, IADLs, fine motor, gross motor, sensory processing, hand therapy, cognition, visual-perceptual skills - the AI speaks your language.
Occupational Therapy SOAP Note Example
Daily Note: CVA - Upper Extremity and ADL Retraining
Scenario: 72-year-old patient, 3 weeks post left CVA with right hemiparesis. Working on right UE function, dressing, and grooming independence.
S - Subjective
O - Objective
ADL Performance: Donning front-closure bra with mod A for fastening (improved from max A). Upper body dressing with min A for R sleeve management. Grooming (toothbrushing, hairbrushing) with setup and supervision.
Treatment: AROM/PROM R UE, grip strengthening with therapy putty, task-specific training for one-handed dressing techniques, grooming activity with adaptive equipment (built-up handle toothbrush), neuromuscular re-education for R hand manipulation.
Cognition: Follows 2-step commands, able to sequence dressing tasks with verbal cueing.
A - Assessment
P - Plan
