Lots of Detail for Lots of Help!

Posted By: Corrie on 2009-05-01

Subject: Lots of Detail for Lots of Help!

Okay, I'm transcribing a SOAP note and this word that I'm trying to figure out is under the ASSESSMENT AND PLAN part. She says the word three times and I am now thinking she is saying something like "number next or number next is." What do you think?


(Normonaxis) Anemia may be caused from a recent epistaxis. He will start an iron pill daily over the counter called Fergon. Next visit we will check a hemoglobin, iron studies. (Normonax) He was in for right shoulder pain in the past. This was resolved. (Normonax) Recent qualm was treated with doxycycline.


Also, I was told to transcribe this using a straight SOAP format, but the doctor dictates things like "Review of Systems" and "Exam." I didn't think those headings or subheadings were in a SOAP format. She never dictates "Subjective" or "Objective," only "Assessment And Plan" as one heading towards the end of the report. Any advice?

I think the sentence portion is correct, he is examining basically the knee cap and joint, you would use "suprapatellar" instead of suprapatella, because in this case he is using "suprapatellar" to modify the noun bursa (like which bursa?  the suprapatellar bursa).  Any help at all???  (hope so, I think you are doing great, don't be discouraged ever, we all start out fresh!)
