SOAP NOTE ON UTI
Clinical Documentation Template
Directions: Students may use this general SOAP note template or their own. Save a copy to your device to alter the document. Use APA when called for by the rubric or assignment prompt. The APA title page will be the first page, and the template will start on the second page. End with your APA formatted references. Keep in mind this template is structured for an average, problem-focused visit. This template will not be adequate for some special populations and situations (newborns/pregnancy visits/child wellness, etc.). Students need to use good clinical judgment and make additional headings and sections when needed and remove others as applies.
Consider viewing the EMS documentation guidelines from the US Department of Health and Human Services/CMS:
Documentation Guidelines – Reimbursement
Delete all text in red – these are instructions and not part of the SOAP document.
