The SOAP note format is the gold standard for clinical documentation across healthcare disciplines. Each section serves a specific purpose in communicating patient status and treatment.
Subjective
Patient-reported information including symptoms, pain levels, concerns, and how they feel about their progress. This section captures the patient's perspective in their own words.
Example: "Patient reports decreased shoulder pain, now 4/10 compared to 7/10 last visit. States sleeping better without waking from discomfort."
Objective
Measurable, observable findings from your clinical assessment. Includes vital signs, range of motion measurements, functional test scores, and treatment interventions performed.
Example: "Shoulder flexion AROM 145 degrees (improved from 130). MMT 4/5 for shoulder abduction. Completed 3x10 rotator cuff strengthening exercises."
Assessment
Your clinical interpretation of the subjective and objective findings. Addresses progress toward goals, response to treatment, and clinical reasoning for your professional judgment.
Example: "Patient demonstrating good progress toward functional goals. Pain reduction and ROM improvements indicate positive response to manual therapy and exercise program."
Plan
The treatment plan moving forward, including frequency of visits, interventions to continue or modify, patient education provided, and discharge planning when appropriate.
Example: "Continue PT 2x/week. Progress strengthening to resistance bands next session. HEP updated with stretching program. Anticipate discharge in 3-4 visits."
