Believe me. Attending the University of Vermont College of Medicine where Larry Weed, M.D. was its distinguished professor and inventor of SOAP and POMR, I had the SOAP note drilled into me.
I guess I don't understand why including PMH and PSH, etc. is so different from a SOAP note. I guess you could make the argument that you have come to be aware that the patient had an appendectomy, but I don't think that forces you to think of it as objective data. So, I don't think others are against the SOAP note, nor do I see how to save a SOAP note in the visit history.
