Clinical notes take time. Too often, that means late nights or working weekends. 

Luckily, SOAP note AI can do it for you. 

These platforms use natural language processing to listen and create SOAP notes, fast. 

With a lot of options out there, here’s how to find the right tool for you. 

How does SOAP note AI work? 

AI SOAP note tools use artificial intelligence, speech recognition, and machine learning to write medical notes. These tools can organize relevant information into SOAP format. 

SOAP note guide & example

A SOAP note document breaks down critical information into a(n):

Subjective: The patient's perspective, subjective complaints and concerns.

  • Example: Mr. Jones' chief complaint is back pain and pain when standing. He exercises 5x a week with heavy weights.

Objective: Objective findings from observable data.

  • Example: In your observations, Mr. Jones' vital signs are normal. His lower back has tenderness to palpation.

Assessment: Sums up the patient's perspective and your observations in the problem and any differential diagnosis.

  • Example: You diagnose Mr. Jones with lumbar muscle strain from overexertion. A differential diagnosis could be a Vitamin D deficiency.

Plan: Here's what's next in your treatment plan: immediate action, diagnostic tests, and follow-up appointment.

  • Example: You prescribe a mild analgesic for pain, a diagnostic test for D3 deficiency, and schedule a follow-up appointment next week.

Instead of writing all of this yourself, SOAP note AI can standardize critical information based on what it hears. 

AI SOAP Notes: feature breakdown

While different AI SOAP note tools have different features, most will: 

  • Translate speech to text: These AI platforms will listen and transcribe a patient encounter.
  • Use natural language processing: The AI can assess the context to capture the most important information. 
  • Organize into SOAP format: The tool then categorizes patient information into a SOAP format
  • Allow edits: The clinician should be able to manually edit the text in the note. Some also offer additional AI options. 
  • Connect to EHR: You can copy/paste notes into your EHR, or some tools offer direct integrations. 
  • Machine Learning: These tools can train on your writing style to improve over time.

Choosing a SOAP note AI tool

With so many platforms available, here’s what to consider based on your specific needs. 

Accuracy

Clinical documentation tools can have different accuracy levels. Trial the automation to see if it can: 

  • Capture medical terms and codes 
  • Interpret different dialects or languages
  • Identify relevant information
  • Work without many edits

Privacy and compliance

Review the privacy policy to see how the tool protects patient information, like: 

  • Following all HIPAA rules and regulations
  • Using advanced data security and encryption
  • Not storing your data

Complexity

Are you looking for software you can use today, or a robust integrative system?

Some progress note tools are plug-and-play, while others need complex integrations and training.  

Customization

Do you want a simple note-taker, or a custom AI scribe? Some tools have advanced features that let you:

  • Capture specific information (like a physical exam)
  • Train the tool to write like you 
  • Reformat notes or use a document template
  • Create patient instructions 

Price will vary based on advanced features and functionality. 

Pricing

Some tools have monthly and annual billing plans so clinicians/teams can onboard fast. 

Others ask you to connect with sales. This is best if you’re looking for extensive integrations across the healthcare team.

With these questions in mind, here's a tool you can try today.
