What Are Progress Notes and Why Are They Important?

Progress notes are notes that doctors, therapists, or other healthcare professionals write down to monitor the progress of their patients over time.

They’re extremely important because these notes become the core memory for professionals because they help them remember what happened in previous sessions and help diagnose what to do in the next session with their patients or clients.

Mental health professionals, such as psychiatrists, psychotherapists, and clinical social workers, utilize these notes to maintain organized and accessible patient records, aiding in understanding the patient's status and treatment plans.

What Are Soap Notes?

Guide to writing a SOAP note with steps: Subjective (symptoms), Objective (exam results), Assessment (diagnoses), and Plan (patient care actions).

SOAP notes are used by healthcare providers to document patient information. It was developed almost 50 years ago by Larry Weed.

These notes help doctors and nurses understand a patient’s physical or mental status and foster communication between different healthcare professionals.

The SOAP note is divided into 4 sections:

  • Subjective,
  • Objective,
  • Assessment, and,
  • Plan.

Subjective

This section captures the patient’s

  • Personal experiences,
  • Feelings or what others close to them report.

For example, if a patient says, "I have a headache," that information is recorded here.

This section usually starts with the patient’s main reason for visiting, known as the Chief Complaint (CC).

It could be something like "chest pain" or "shortness of breath."

The patient describes:

  • When the problem started,
  • Where it hurts,
  • How long it’s been hurting and,
  • What makes it better or worse.

This detailed description is organized using the acronym "OLDCARTS," Each letter in OLDCARTS stands for a part of the symptom the healthcare provider needs to know to better understand the problem and make a diagnosis.

Here’s what each letter means:

  • O - Onset: When did this start?
  • L - Location: Where is it?
  • D - Duration: How long has it been going on?
  • C - Characterization: How does the patient describe it?
  • A - Alleviating and Aggravating Factors: What makes it better or worse?
  • R - Radiation: Does it go to other parts of the body?
  • T - Temporal Factors: Is it worse or better at certain times of the day?
  • S - Severity: How bad is it on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the worst?

How it Works: Using OLDCARTS, the provider gets all the information about the patient’s symptoms. By following this structured approach, the patient’s story becomes a clear and complete picture so the healthcare provider can figure out what’s wrong and how to fix it. (Source)

Objective

This section is about the factual, measurable information gathered during the patient’s visit.

It includes;

  • Vital signs (blood pressure, heart rate),
  • Physical exam findings,
  • And lab tests or imaging results.

Unlike the subjective section, which is based on what the patient says, this section is based on what the healthcare provider observes or measures. (Source)

Assessment

Here, the healthcare provider combines all the information from the subjective and objective sections to determine what’s wrong with the patient.

They list possible diagnoses and explain their reasoning.

This should include:

  • Differential Diagnoses: identifying possible conditions causing symptoms.
  • Clinical Reasoning: thinking through patient care decisions.
  • Prioritization: deciding what to treat first based on urgency.

(Source)

Plan

This final section outlines what will be done next to treat or further investigate the patient’s condition.

It includes;

  • Additional tests,
  • Medications,
  • Referrals to specialists and,
  • Any advice or education given to the patient.

This section helps future healthcare providers understand what has been done and what needs to happen next. (Source)
