    This is a great idea and I look forward to using it more but it is difficult to use. It’s difficutlt to find templates that make sense. For example, this anemia evaluation. After selecting micro vs. macrocytosis and the other selections the calculated result should read as an assessment to be able to copy and paste in an EHR. I think this is the idea of the site.
    It should read as follows…based on selections above the calculated result.

    ANEMIA OF CHRONIC DISEASE
    This patient likely has a *microcytic* anemia due to *low* ferritin ….etc etc. without the asterisk of course.
    Peripheral blood smear clues may include rouleaux formation, myelophthisis. CBC clues may include normal RDW.
    Usual causes of ANEMIA OF CHRONIC DISEASE may include Temporal arteritis, Rheumatoid arthritis, Chronic inflammation, or Chronic infection. Unusual causes of ANEMIA OF CHRONIC DISEASE may include Hodgkin lymphoma, Renal cell carcinoma, Castleman disease, or Myelofibrosis.
    *This differential is quite short actually*

      Hi – the calculator was an approach to anemia that I thought was interesting. Definitely not the only way to do it. When I’m using these, I usually paste them into the assessment as a type of ‘medical decision making’ section. But I see your point and can try to make another version that addresses your suggestions.

    Is it possible to input data then have the output be put into paragraph form to be used for an EHR assessment? For example, instead of this…

    CURB-65/CRB-65 Score for PneumoniaClinical Features:
    absent <– Confusion
    greater 19 mg per dL (6.8 mmol per L) <– Blood Urea Nitrogen
    less than 30 breaths per minute <– Respiratory rate
    systolic greater than/equal to 90 and diastolic greater than 60 <– Blood pressure
    greater than/equal to 65 CURB-65 = 2: Short inpatient hospitalization or closely-supervised outpatient treatment

    Have the output read…
    In this patient confusion is absent, Blood Urea Nitrogen is greater than 19 mg per dL, the Respiratory rate is less than 30 breaths per minute, the systolic blood pressure is greater than/equal to 90 and diastolic greater than 60, and age is greater than/equal to 65 giving a CURB-65 score of 2. The patient may require short inpatient hospitalization or closely-supervised outpatient treatment.

      Hi – it wouldn’t be difficult to make a more plain language output generating version as you’ve suggested. I’ll try to work on that version.

    I am able to export document in HTML to run external of site. The note itself will open and run though unable to print using the submit button. I am using Windows 10 OS. Any recommendations? Thank you, Jim

    I just found this website and find a great value in using this for generating very thorough EMS patient care report narratives, but was wondering if there is any way to taylor a note for the EMS community? The Acute Care SOAP V2 is the closest note I found yet it still either lacks or includes information that a paramedic may either include or not assess.

      Sorry for the delay – I need to check the comments more frequently.

      I don’t have bullet proof way of proofreading these notes, but here is my approach:

      If there’s a problem, I take the notes in small chunks and test it at this page: https://www.soapnote.org/generator/

      I went through your note, piece by piece and found these parts had small problems:

      Amnesia After S (Anterograde) Are there any events just AFTER the injury that you/ person has no memory of (even brief)?[checkbox name="variable_1|" value="Yes|No |Unsure|No Duration"]
      Loss of Consciousness: Did the athlete lose consciousness? [checkbox name="variable_1" value="Yes|No |Unsure |No Duration"]

      In this section, there is a variable with the name “variable_1|”. The “|” caused the error there.

      EARLY SIGNS: [checkbox name="variable_1" |Appears dazed or stunned |Is confused about events |Answers questions slowly | Repeats Questions |Forgetful|Value="dizziness|LOC|Balance problems"][checkbox name="Conussion" value="Slow reaction time|amnesia|sleep disturbance"][checkbox name="field_name" value="headaches|irritability|nausea"][checkbox name="field_name" value="vomiting|light sensativity|balance problems"]

      In this section, the first checkbox is missing the ‘value’ part before ‘|Appears dazed….’.

      I changed those two parts and came up with:
      S:
      Date of injury/illness: [date name="variable_1" default="01/05/2019"]
      C/o [textarea name="variable_1" default="sample text"]
      HX of concussion:[checkbox name="variable_1" value="yes |no |unknown"]
      Headache History? [checkbox name="variable_1" value="yes |no |unknown"]

      Developmental History [text name="variable_1" default="sample text"]
      Developmental History [text name="variable_1" default="sample text"]
      O:
      Is there evidence of a forcible blow to the head? [checkbox name="variable_1" value="direct |indirect|Unknown"]

      Is there evidence of intracranial injury or skull fracture? [checkbox name="variable_1" value="Yes|No |Unsure"]

      Location of Impact: [text name="variable_1" default="sample text"]

      Cause: [radio name="variable_1" value=" MVC|Athletics|Assault| Fall"]

      Amnesia Before (Retrograde) Are there any events just BEFORE the injury that you/ person has no memory of (even brief)? [checkbox name="variable_1" value="Yes|No |Unsure"]

      Amnesia After S (Anterograde) Are there any events just AFTER the injury that you/ person has no memory of (even brief)?[checkbox name="variable_1" value="Yes|No |Unsure|No Duration"]
      Loss of Consciousness: Did the athlete lose consciousness? [checkbox name="variable_1" value="Yes|No |Unsure |No Duration"]

      EARLY SIGNS: [checkbox name="variable_1" value="Appears dazed or stunned |Is confused about events |Answers questions slowly | Repeats Questions |Forgetful|dizziness|LOC|Balance problems"][checkbox name="Conussion" value="Slow reaction time|amnesia|sleep disturbance"][checkbox name="field_name" value="headaches|irritability|nausea"][checkbox name="field_name" value="vomiting|light sensativity|balance problems"]

      Seizures: Were seizures observed? [checkbox name="variable_1" value="yes |no |unknown"] Detail [textarea name="variable_1" default="sample text"]

      A:
      [checkbox name="variable_1" value="850.0 (Concussion, with no loss of consciousness) – Positive injury description with evidence of forcible direct/ indirect blow to the head (A1a); plus
      evidence of active symptoms (B) of any type and number related to the trauma (Total Symptom Score >0); no evidence of LOC (A5), skull fracture or
      intracranial injury (A1b).|850.1 (Concussion, with brief loss of consciousness < 1 hour) – Positive injury description with evidence of forcible direct/ indirect blow to the head (A1a); plus evidence of active symptoms (B) of any type and number related to the trauma (Total Symptom Score >0); positive evidence of LOC (A5),
      skull fracture or intracranial injury (A1b|850.9 (Concussion, unspecified) – Positive injury description with evidence of forcible direct/ indirect blow to the head (A1a); plus evidence of active
      symptoms (B) of any type and number related to the trauma (Total Symptom Score >0); unclear/unknown injury details; unclear evidence of LOC (A5), no
      skull fracture or intracranial injury|Other Diagnoses – If the patient presents with a positive injury description and associated symptoms, but additional evidence of intracranial injury (A 1b)
      such as from neuroimaging, a moderate TBI and the diagnostic category of 854 (Intracranial injury) should be considered"]

      p:[textarea name="variable_1" default="sample text"]

      It can be difficult with the long forms because a simple error near the top of the form can wreck the whole thing. But, that’s how I test them. I’d like to make a proofreader in the future – hopefully someday soon!

    This is a great tool. The only problem I am having is that I am unable to figure out how to make my form generate the result. I have established my fields and data, but how do I add all the other text I want in the output with all the selections of the user?

      • Bbroyles86 says:

        I figured that one out. Thanks. I put spaces in the variable names, It didn’t like it. LOL:
        Next question: In the top of my sheet, I am gathering all the data, then in the bottom, I generate the info to be copied. Is there a way to mark the lines for info gathering so that they are not included in the result?

    What is the difference between Registry and Scratchpad? When I first tried Registry, if my memory is correct, clicking the “registered” note link from the Registry page returned the specific SOAPnote pre-populated with the input/saved data. Currently it only returns the blank SOAPnote. Did something change, or is Registry just Scratchpad with a dated link to the original blank SOAPnote?

    Great idea and implementation overall, thank you!

    [checkbox memo="Radiates" name="co_cp_rad" value=""][conditional field="co_cp_rad" condition="(co_cp_rad).is('')"]
    [checkbox name="co_cp_rads" value="Med Chest|Right Lateral Chest|Left Lateral Chest|Sub-Sternum area|Right shoulder|Left chest|Back - Upper|Back - Lower|Abdomen|Right Arm|Left Arm"]
    [/conditional]

    Can I turn the check box starter in to a yes/no select or radio button?

    • Mark Morgan says:

      to change the check box starter into a yes/no select, it would be [select memo="Radiates" name="co_cp_rad" value="yes|no"] for the first part.

  11. Bbroyles86 says:

    Next Question:
    I am trying to nest questions, which doesn’t seem possible. For Example:
    Does the patient have chest pain? y/n
    if no, skips all those questions.
    if yes: have they had it before? y/n
    If no, skip
    if yes: what happened?

    I was going to nest conditionals, but that doesn’t work. Ideas?

    How do I keep the selections at the top from showing up in my result?
