SOAP Note Creation
This skill captures the pattern of creating complete, structured medical documentation (SOAP notes) by writing all required sections to a file in one iteration.
When to Use
Use this skill when you need to create medical meeting notes, patient visit documentation, or clinical encounter records that follow the standard SOAP format.
Core Technique
Write the entire SOAP note in one comprehensive file write rather than building it incrementally. This ensures completeness and consistency across all sections.
Required Sections
Every SOAP note must include these four components:
1. Subjective (S)
- Chief Complaint (CC): Patient's primary reason for visit
- History of Present Illness (HPI): Detailed narrative of current symptoms
- Past Medical History (PMH): Relevant medical history, medications, allergies
- Family/Social History: Pertinent family and social context
2. Objective (O)
- Vital Signs: BP, HR, RR, Temp, SpO2, weight, height
- Physical Examination: System-by-system findings (HEENT, Cardiovascular, Respiratory, Abdomen, Neurological, etc.)
- Diagnostic Data: Lab results, imaging findings if available
3. Assessment (A)
- Primary Diagnosis: Main clinical diagnosis
- Differential Diagnoses: Alternative considerations
- Clinical Reasoning: Brief justification for assessment
4. Plan (P)
- Management: Treatments, medications, interventions
