We were given an assignment to do 4 narratives from 4 scenarios we did in class. I was having so much trouble trying to figure out how to write my narrative, untill i found this site. I recommended it to my fellow classmates as i hope it will help them as it has helped me. Thank you for making this site! Its a great help!

I'm glad I stumbled upon it again! I'll be posting this to the staff bulletin board- we've had some issues with reports (verbal and written) lately among staff. While I use this method, many of my colleagues do not and were never taught about it. Once again, The EMT Spot makes my job a little bit easier :) -Nat Great post, Steve.

I currently use the soap method my guess is that on the assessment part medicaid medicare wants your opinion on why ambulance transport is required. On the subjective objective plan part I use your method. Your recomendations would be greatly appreciated in this gray area of documentation.

Then as soon as the pram is dressed and the rig is good to run another call I start typing the PCR. Even though SOAP isn't the same chronologically as CHART, over time you develop the ability to remember your pertinent Hx, pt/bystander statements, and subjective/objective findings and transcribe them where they fall into the SOAP order. Talking w/your pt during transport and the hand off report @ the hospital also cement the info into your head. Like anything else in this job it's a repetition based skill. Steve, I've applauded this blog many times when you and I talk at work, but why would you transport someone to Aurora South, as listed in your Tx section? I just can't get my head around it. I'm still considering the guest blog, it will come in due time and given my current situation in life, it will probably be about a paramedic school subject. Take care. Danimal,

As a non-medical type, I'm curious about how this all works. By your mention of a computer, I assume you write up your SOAP note after you drop off the patient at the hospital? If so, how do you remember all that information during the call? Do you take notes for later use? Interesting post — thanks! As a non-medical type, I’m curious about how this all works.
