Acupuncture Progress Note Template

A strong acupuncture progress note must document the patient's subjective report of symptom changes since the last visit, the physical findings of the current session, and the specific treatment plan. Key sections include the point prescription (listing specific points used), the needle gauge and retention time, and the patient's immediate response to the needles, such as the arrival of De Qi. Documenting the rationale for point selection helps maintain a clear clinical trail for treatment efficacy and patient safety.

Using an AI scribe removes the burden of recalling every point and patient comment from memory at the end of the day. Instead of starting with a blank template, you begin with a high-fidelity draft generated from the actual encounter. This allows you to focus your energy on the review process—verifying that the point selection and patient responses are captured accurately—before finalizing the note for your EHR.
