We gave SOAPing a makeover
We define a SOAP as an all-encompassing process that cohesively brings together every stage of a patient visit. It’s better, powerful, and way more than just a SOAP.
Not your average SOAP
An effective SOAP smoothly combines every step of the exam workflow from creating an appointment to following up with a patient.
- Intuitive layout that's easy to navigate
- Coordinate responsibilities between reception, the medical team, and admin
- Standardized to AAHA codes, so NO typos
- Automated search and select instead of typing
- Maximizes charge capture by pre-defining prices and treatment bundles
- Fewer interim steps and any follow-up tasks built into the SOAP
- Saves time so more appointments fit in a day

The rhapsody SOAP
Start SOAPing
Open a new SOAP through an appointment, either in the scheduler or the patient timeline.
Check appointment details and any attachments, all pre-populated with information from the Scheduler, Kiosk, and Catalog.
Record the history
Look over the questions already answered at check-in, and ask all the questions specified for the exam.
Intake questions are configured based on patient characteristics, appointment type, and when to ask it. That way, the right question always pop up for the right patient, during the right appointment, at the right time.
Take those vitals
Input vitals, separately from the exam. If needed, add and edit them throughout the appointment. Every inputted vital is timestamped for ultimate accuracy.
And don’t worry about losing information, you’re prompted to save the vitals before moving on.

Begin the exam
Scroll through a list of findings based on AAHA standards. Don’t know AAHA? Just use the universal search to find what you need
Toggle items as you examine patients. Findings marked outside normal limits prompts a drop down list with more items to mark and a space to type or insert pre-configured notes
Time to make some conclusions
Filter and search through the list of diagnoses based on AAHA standards
Select items, mark if suspected, confirmed, or ruled out, and add details by typing or inserting pre-configured notes
Organize recommended care
Select tests, vaccines, and procedures individually from the global catalog. Or, select bundles, pre-fixed menus for specific diagnoses, and amend as needed
Review all recommended care and the cost with the client as they approve or decline each item
Everything, including declined items, is updated in the patient history, Report Card, and the invoice

Review the plan of action
Organize any remaining tasks like ordering medication, performing a procedure, or calling the client. Assign it to team members and set deadlines to stay on track.
Review discharge notes (updated from the SOAP), schedule future appointments, and address any existing reminders.
Check-out
Send the invoice to the terminal for clients to pay and sign.
Processed payments are automatically reflected in rhapsody.
After the visit
Complete outstanding tasks and send a Report Card, the visit summary, to the client. The Report Card is auto-filled from the SOAP and easy to edit.
If a patient is staying at the hospital and needs a new SOAP, just add it to this appointment.
