PRAC 6568 Week 3 Developing a Focused SOAP Note Assignment

Developing a Focused SOAP Note

This focused SOAP note assignment is a way to reflect on your Practicum experiences and connect them to your classroom experience. Focused SOAP notes are often used in clinical settings to document patient care. They provide a standard, systematic format for collecting patient information. Similar to learning to compute math problems by hand before you move to a calculator, you are required to use a Word document template in this course and document everything manually. In your career, however, you are likely to encounter electronic health record systems with SOAP documentation capabilities such as search functions and symptom drag and drops that will streamline the process.
