Write a Treatment Plan as a Part of a Chart Note

To do this, you'd chart on a client as you normally would, go to:

  • Schedule (left menu)
  • Click on the appointment, opening the pop-up
  • Click the button (top right corner)

Here we load the chart note.

Depending on the chart entry style you select, you'll see the following treatment plan types:

SOAP Note

Under the section Plan (Last one) we have the "Treatment Plan" sub-section

Here we show:

  • A visual editor, with goals and dropdown options
  • Optionally set a due date for the next treatment plan
  • Example shown below:

⚠️ Note: If a treatment plan is used outside the SOAP note charting, it will appear in plaintext, which we will show below when editing an example.

HIPAA, Simple or Template Note

Below under the Notes section is the option Include Treatment Plan. Toggle that to yes 

Here we show:

  • A plaintext treatment plan editor
    • Here you can cut and paste a template you might already have in a document or text edit file on your computer
  • Optionally set a due date for the next treatment plan
  • Example if you chart from a SOAP note to a HIPAA note shown below:
