Guest guest Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 If you are willing to spend $5000, take a look at documentsplus. This is a system where both patient data input and dr. input are entered on scan forms(like taking a SAT every visit)The reports that are generated are individual and professional. Since I started this, my incidence of IME's is way down,my bills get paid, and attorneys rave about lthe quazlity of my chart notes, exam and reports. The best thing is, after the exam or treatment is over and recorded, I'm done. I have not done a narrative in 2 years! Ron Johansen DC DABCO Portland On Wed, 3 Nov 2004 15:23:26 -0800 "Dr. Glenn F.

I tried a Compaq IPAQ pocket PC with a keyboard on a fold-down table in the treatment room, and templated the soap notes, and it worked well for the past 2 years.

Any good ideas out there? Thanks. Glenn F. Gumaer, BS, DC Northside Chiropractic Clinic 1240 N. Riverside Avenue Medford, OR 97501 www.seekhealth.com OregonDCs rules:1.

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 Glenn: I have been using a lap top for notes for almost 3 years. It took a little getting used to, but my notes are more complete. I save about an hour a day in dictating, transcribing time, and everything I put down is legible. I have complete sentences. If your typing isn't good, get a typing program and practice at home. You can be at least 40 words per minute in a couple months. I have a template with office information at the top and patient, name, dob, doi, date of visit, ss# for me to fill in. After I finish the note, I put it on a floppy disk and someone at the front desk, or I print it. Ann Goldeen, Astoria RE: SOAP Notes Greetings: You all are great.

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2004 Report Share Posted November 4, 2004 i hardly ever write narratives. I charge 75$ for them and that seems to have reduced the demand and at the same time making my hand written chart notes acceptable and sufficient.
