The medical record facilitates good care. With contemporaneous documentation of patient encounters, the reflection and review can reinforce the consistency, completeness and quality of your clinical activities. This program aims to address sufficient documentation, which is central to patient safety and continuity of quality care. Participants will learn how to appropriately document patient encounters following the Subjective Objective Assessment Plan (SOAP) format.
Physicians who have the need or desire to improve their medical documentation.
Currently the course program is most relevant to primary care and general practice.
At the end of this course, learners will be equipped to:
- Recognize the general principles and multiple purposes of medical record documentation
- Identify the elements and characteristics of appropriate documentation of patient encounters
- Use the SOAP-based tool to self-evaluate and improve the practice of documenting patient encounters

- Online self-learning pre-workshop activity (modules 1-6)
- Online live Workshop (3 hours)
- Online post-workshop activity (modules 7-9)
