Notes play a key role in keeping communication clear and documentation accurate across your organization.
While note access is typically consistent across users, HEADCHECK can customize permissions to fit your organization’s specific needs. Here’s a breakdown of the note types available on the platform, with a closer look at the benefits of SOAP Notes.
SOAP Notes are designed for healthcare professionals, providing a structured format that promotes clarity and consistency. Built around the Subjective, Objective, Assessment, and Plan (SOAP) framework, this note type ensures important information is organized and easy to understand.
Here’s why SOAP Notes are a game-changer:
- They are widely used by medical professionals, and the SOAP format encourages clear and consistent documentation.
- At least two of the four SOAP fields must be filled out before the note can be saved, which helps maintain strong record-keeping habits.
Other Note Types Available on the HEADCHECK Platform:
Whether you’re adding a few players or a whole roster, HEADCHECK makes it simple:
- Clearance Note: Used primarily by physicians to document medical clearance and make sure only the appropriate professionals sign off on return-to-play decisions.
- Diagnostic Note: Typically reserved for physicians, this note provides formal documentation of a diagnosis. For instance, it can confirm a concussion diagnosis made by a doctor after a team trainer initially flagged the injury as a “suspected concussion.”
- Status Change Note: Tracks and documents critical updates, keeping everyone informed about key changes or developments in an injury’s status. For instance, if a suspected concussion is reported but the athlete is symptom-free after the recommended 24 to 48-hour follow-up window.
Whether you’re tracking an athlete’s recovery or ensuring compliance with organizational standards, HEADCHECK’s note types have you covered. Take full advantage of these features today to improve how your team documents and shares information!
