  • Updated

A SOAP Note Template is created in the Catalyst Portal. Catalyst supports multiple SOAP Note Templates.    

Once a SOAP Note has been created, Administrators can rearrange, edit, or delete fields. 

IMPORTANT: SOAP Notes must be enabled at the Student level in order to appear on the Catalyst app. To learn more, please visit Enable SOAP Notes documentation.

Add/Remove Fields on Template

The SOAP Note template has five default fields that cannot be deleted:

  • Date - Autofills in the app with the current date.
  • Start Time - Defaults to 12:00 AM.
  • End Time - Defaults to 12:00 AM.
  • Location - Autofill in the app with the exact GPS coordinates where the SOAP Note is completed.
  • Notes - Provides a free text field in the app for users to enter desired session notes.

    NOTE: Allow the Catalyst app to access your location in device settings for a location to be detected. 

Additionally, there are one or two fields that are automatically added to your SOAP Note Template that can be deleted, if desired.

  • Signature - Provides a field in the app for the therapist's signature.
  • Session - Only added for clients integrated with WebABA. Allows users to select an appointment.

Customize the SOAP Note by adding additional custom fields by clicking on the buttons in the top left: +Add Field, +Add Note, and +Add Section. The three types of custom fields available:

ADD FIELD - Insert fields that collect information from the user completing a SOAP Note on the app determined by answer types.

ADD NOTE - Inserts text that is left-aligned and unbolded. Used to insert information, reminders or instructions.

ADD SECTION - Insert text that is larger, and bolded. Uses to insert headers or more obvious reminders.

 

To learn more about these fields, please see SOAP Note Glossary.
