Understanding SOAP and FARM Documentation
SOAP notes organize data into Subjective (patient reports), Objective (exam findings), Assessment (diagnosis), and Plan (next steps). FARM notes follow a similar logic but emphasize the Functional (patient's ability to perform tasks), Assessment, Response (how the patient reacted to interventions), and Modification (changes to the care plan). Both formats require a clear distinction between what the patient reports and what the clinician observes to maintain a high-fidelity medical record.
Aduvera eliminates the need to manually sort these details after a visit. By recording the encounter, the AI identifies which parts of the conversation belong in the 'Subjective' or 'Functional' sections and which belong in the 'Plan' or 'Modification' sections. This allows clinicians to spend their time reviewing the accuracy of the draft and verifying citations rather than recalling details from memory to fill a template.
