Step by Step Tutorial on how to create a SOAP Note in DentalWriter Plus+

First Navigate to Visits & Forms in the patient's profile. Then select View Visit to open the 4-Step Process (Patient Questionnaire, Examination, SOAP Report, Claims).

Now looking inside the Sleep History, Exam, & Workup visit - 

Step 1. Patient Questionnaire and Step 2. Examination, should be completed to generate a thorough letter.

Step 3 is the SOAP Report tab. This is where the letter is created.

Click on + Create SOAP Report

After clicking, it is going to ask who you want to address the letter to. 

• From Contacts (Any contacts saved in DentalWriter Plus+, i.e. Referring Provider or Medical Insurance)
• To Patient (Address letter to patient) 
• No Recipient (Does not address anyone specific in the beginning of the letter)

For this tutorial, we are selecting to address the letter to the patient.

Note: You can edit the letter in this view. The functionality is similar to a word document. If there are text you would like to have bold, or you would like to rearrange a sentence/format, or change the font, you can simply edit this letter to your preferences. Remember to click save.

If you are not editing the SOAP Report letter, simply click Close to exit the letter (shown below).
