Creating a Progress Note

The progress notes section of the patient record is a log which stores all of a patient's
medical information, including doctor's notes, consultant's letters, medications, treatments,
lab results, virtually anything that would be documented in a patient chart.

1.    From the Data menu, select New Progress Note or CTRL + N.

2.    A blank progress note will appear at the bottom of the progress notes section, along
with today’s date and the user’s initials.

3.    Enter the documentation in the progress note.

4.    We support using “SOAP” documentation in the chart.  This can be added simply to any note by using
the toolbar at the bottom of the CPP.
