After some months of (intermittent) research, including reading this forum, I have decided to move ahead with implementing an EMR. I haven't finalized my decision, but I expect to commit to Amazing Charts and purchase it in coming weeks. By way of background, before I start with the questions....I am a solo gastroenterologist with outsourced billing, so my needs are pretty basic. I need an EMR and scheduler, with the ability to provide superbills and demos to my biller. In addition, reading the board here has made me look forward to a paperless office (somewhere down the road). My situation is a bit unusual in that my wife is an internist who is not currently practicing. She is now managing the conversion to an EMR, and will then start to see patients; so AC has to work for her, too.
I gather from reading some previous posts that the experts here prefer to receive questions in small "bites" so I will start with a little one: How do I make a plain old SOAP note? I understand the process for a full note that includes the CC, HPI, ROS, etc, but how about if I just want "subjective, objective, assessment and plan" as my headings?
