I have several components of my default normal statements on the default SOAP
Example:
Musculoskeletal: Ambulatory x4. No overt lameness. Normal long bone palpation and joint ROM. No pain on spinal palpation or cervical ROM.
When I dictate an abnormal it replaces the whole thing:
example:
Musculoskeletal: Left rear leg limping observed, with the limb positioned medially.
Note ID example: 3059700
I would prefer it to add the abnormal and keep the normal aspects of it. it seems to replace the whole thing - it happens always
Update - we are working on a way to have abnormals replace only the relevant portion of the default normals.
Thanks for sharing. Just to clarify, simply adding the abnormal could lead to contradictory information in some cases. Would you prefer that behavior so you can edit the normal portion yourself? Automatically removing only the conflicting part of the normal may be a bit more complex, but we can look into it.
