About this template

Looking for a clear and concise way to document patient visits? A SOAP note is a standard format used by podiatrists and other healthcare professionals to record patient encounters. This template, designed for use with Heidi, allows for structured documentation of subjective findings, objective observations, assessment, and a detailed plan. It helps podiatrists efficiently capture patient information, including diagnoses, treatment plans, and referrals. Using this template ensures comprehensive and organised medical records, improving patient care and streamlining clinical workflows.

The pain is worse in the morning and after prolonged standing. There is no history of trauma. The pain is aggravated by walking and relieved by rest. - Physiotherapy progress: Patient has not had physiotherapy. - Symptom evolution and general progress since last visit: No previous visits. **Objective:** - **Vascular:** Pedal pulses are palpable bilaterally. No edema or varicose veins noted. Capillary refill is <2 seconds. - **Musculoskeletal:** Inspection reveals no obvious deformity. Palpation elicits tenderness over the plantar fascia. Range of motion is limited due to pain. Strength is normal. No joint instability is noted. - **Neurological:** Sensory and motor function intact. No paresthesia noted. - **Dermatological:** No skin or nail changes observed. - Surgical wound appearance: N/A - Investigation results: X-rays of the right foot were taken, showing no fracture. **Assessment & Plan:** 1. Plantar Fasciitis - Diagnosis and rationale: Based on subjective complaints of plantar foot pain, worse in the morning and after prolonged standing, and tenderness on palpation of the plantar fascia, and negative X-rays. - Planned investigations: None. - Planned surgical treatment: None. - Non-surgical treatment plan: Advised rest, ice, stretching exercises, and over-the-counter pain relief. Consider orthotics if symptoms persist. - Referrals: Consider referral to physiotherapy if symptoms do not improve. "Additional Podiatric Issues or Conditions:" - None **Additional Notes:** - Patient education provided: Explained the condition of plantar fasciitis, its causes, and the importance of rest, ice, and stretching exercises. Discussed the potential need for orthotics. - Patient or family concerns addressed: Patient expressed concern about the pain and its impact on daily activities. Reassured the patient that the condition is treatable and provided a plan for management. - Informed consent discussion: N/A - Material risks discussed – version 1: N/A - Material risks discussed – version 2: N/A - Material risks discussed – version 3: N/A **ICD code:** - M72.2 **CPT code:** - 99203
