Episode Problems and SOAPs

The Problem List and SOAPs section allows you to add in episode problems, which can then be linked to the patient's master problem list.  It also allows you to complete a SOAP for the episode regarding the identified episode problems.

Add A Problem

Click on Add Problem to open up the Episode Problem list. 

Add A New Problem

Depending on your hospital's settings, the problems available may be restricted to a pre-created list visible in the drop down, or you may be allowed to enter problems via free text.

Move an Existing Problem from the Master Problem List

Existing problems appear on the left.  If the problem is still present during the current episode, click on the Arrow to bring it over to the Episode Problem list.

Click on the save button at the bottom of this window to add the new problems to the episode.

Add SOAPs to an Episode

Once you have added Episode Problems or marked any existing Master Problems as active for the current episode, you can begin to SOAP the problem.

The SOAPs are entered and verified independently.  As this is intended to be one of the primary teaching tools for VetView, the SOAPs can be approved, rejected, or marked for revision by a clinician.

Once the SOAP components are saved, additional comments can be appended.  SOAPs support Rich Text Format, so you can use different font colors and sizes when appropriate.

Merge Problems as part of Differential Diagnosis

If problems have been identified to be related (e.g. symptoms of the same underlying disease) you can Merge the problems within the episode, or under the Master Problem list.

Select the problem to which the existing problem will be merged.

The problem will then appear on the Episode Problem list and Master Problem list as "merged"

Note

Both Episode Problems and SOAPs have been moved from being discrete Patient Record elements on their own to being part of the Catalog elements system.

This allows for more flexibility when creating the kind of SOAP forms that you want your clinical staff and students to fill out based on the kind of episode and patient that they are working with.

Please see Catalog Setup in 5.0 for details in building these new documents with the elements.
