SOAP notes
Subject: SOAP notes

Was wondering if there are any websites out there that gives sample reports for SOAP notes. Just trying to figure out which is the best way to do it with paragraphs between each heading or all scrunched together. Just want to see what is done more of. I realize it might depend on the clinic, dr, hospital, etc, but just want to get an idea.


Thanks Carla


Can you see samples of how the other MTs handle it? Are these SOAP notes? Can you number the probs

I am so confused on this one.  I have typed it several different ways over the years.  Do I really need to put any apostrophe in there at all?  Thanks!

I am working on a general practice transcription and I am on the O section talking about blood pressure, weight, heart, respirations, etc., and then it gets to a part right after that, that it sounds like clouds clear and fungus is clear.  I know this is not right but I cannot seem to come up with the right words to put in there.


Can anyone help?

op notes
Subject: op notes

I have never encountered such a rule. I don't generally listen to where the dictators want their paragraphs, though. They usually put in way too many. I start a new paragraph after the prep and drape description and a I start a new paragraph for the closing of the wounds. I add new paragraphs when the surgeon is addressing a new area. That's just my style of transcribing. I'm not saying it's the right way to do it. It just makes sense to me and I would think it is easier to read and comprehend that way.

Subject: Subjective, Objective, Assessment, Plan=SOAP..

Twenty-five years ago, SOAP format was still the in-thing, but doctors slowly trended away from it, probably due to medical transcription and formats changing over time.  They are easy to do though.

Is there anyone here who does operative notes and gynecology notes who could give me some websites to use for resources?  I am on an OB/GYN account and have operative notes.  I have trouble sometimes with the specific surgical instrument names and would greatly appreciate any help.  Thanks in advance.

My suggestion would be to purchase (if you do not already have)OB/GYN, equipment and surgical word books (Steadman's) my choice and you would be equipped to better perform your job.

Paragraphs in Op notes
Subject: Paragraphs in Op notes

I have noticed that when I transcribe an Op note as the dictator dictates it, starting a new paragraph as dictated...that QA always removes the spacing between the paragraphs.

Is there some rule in transcription that you don't break an op note into paragraphs? The client profile does not say anything about this.

Does anyone know a good website for op-notes...
Hi, does anyone have any websites that are good for surgical words? I have limited books, try to use Int. for most everything. I use surg. instrument sites to look up tools, but not always successful or spend too much time looking through their quite extensive catalog. Thanks for your help...Suzy
Does anyone know a good website for op-notes...
Does anyone now a good website or two for surgical notes? I at times use a surgical instrument site but if I don't know how to spell something, I have to look through extensive catalog listings...or if I get a foreign accent and can't make out what he is saying, then I have big problems, so a site that has sample notes would be a big help too. Thanks for your help. Suzyq
