Generate Progress Notes with AIWhat is a Progress Note?
A progress note is a type of clinical documentation used for follow-up visits. Unlike a comprehensive H&P or initial SOAP note, progress notes focus on tracking changes in a patient's condition over time and documenting ongoing treatment.
Progress notes are typically shorter and more focused than initial encounter notes, emphasizing interval history and response to treatment.
