Subject: some clinics still might, hospitals rarely though
well, I've been doing this work for 30 years and SOAP format was a big deal in the late 70s-80s too, but for URBAN hospitals and surgeons, they rarely use the SOAP format. Don't know where your *clinics* are (small town?) but in big big cities they have trended away from the SOAP format, for the most part. It's a rare SOAP I get over years. Also, the private surgeons I work for (5 of them) never use that format. I suppose hospitalists might but mine do not.

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?

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

Just when I think I have it on format - I don't. The following is under PHYSICAL EXAMINATION. What would the subheading be?
Patient walks to the right occasionally. She has trouble getting started because of discomfort. She can walk on heels and toes briefly. However, on a tandem walk she really has difficulty with that. She does not line up her toes easily, loses her balance very easily with that. This is typed as dr. dictated. Suggestions would be appreciated.

This is so small I hate to ask, but everytime I type this it just looks odd no matter what way I type it and would like to know how another MT would type this.
If someone has a dull aching sensation or sharp stabbing sensation would you hiphenate (dull-aching sensation) or slash (dull/aching sensation) or just leave it (dull aching sensation)? Thanks for any input to my "stupid" question.

I was taught that if the "orthopedics" came after the name of the place, it should be capitalized (UoV Orthopedics). If not, it wouldn't be capitalized(orthopedic department at UoV). Please correct me if I'm wrong, anyone! :)

Format rules in MT
Okay, I am an old gal working mostly ias in-hospital MT (VA, Teaching hospital), but I did also work off and on for MTSOs at home. Now going back a long time, I was always taught that in formatting Problem Lists or Hospital Course by problem list you transcribe it this way. Problem #1 - HYPERTENSION. The patient is taking lisinopril currently..... or if the doc did not say PROBLEM #1, then you transcribed it 1. HYPERTENSION. Blah, blah, blah. When did this change and become wrong? Most of the docs I am now transcribing for one of the major MTSOs now (left the hospital), actually ask that we capitalize the major problem. Is this in the so-called AHDI BOS2?
IMHO, using the capitalization on the problem is much easier to read, than this...
1. Hypertension. The blah, blah, blah..
2. Diabetes mellitus type 2. Uncontrolled. Not compliant.
Any QAers out there can answer this one for this old school nitpicker?

Can someone show me an example of how to type a report that has multiple problems. The doctor does one problem completely, then goes onto the next one.
It doesn't look right typing HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS, PHYSICAL EXAMINATION twice throughout the report.
