SOAP note requiring little writing
The idea of this template (and I haven't even had a chance to try it yet, I just finished it) was to make it as easy as possible to complete a case note during a session on a tablet device.
I have included a lot of options to make written comments on your observations, but that is not required. You should be able to do a pretty complete case note without writing hardly anything.
I know I'm looking forward to trying it, and maybe to getting some feedback from some of you how I could make it better.

Hey everybody, apparently not all could read the link I posted at the top, so here's a PDF version you should be able to see perfectly.

Hi All,
I'm brand new to Simple Practice. I need it primarily for electronic documentation of progress notes. I selected the "standard progress note.' I entered client data on the calendar and clicked on the "note" icon to type my notes. That went well and notes were entered and saved. I presumed I'd be able to access the notes simply by clicking on the client's name. I did this and was told no record of my notes exists. I'm a little panicked right now as I NEED to retrieve those notes. Somebody please help! Where did the notes go? I can't get answers from Simple Practice directly.

Hi Dawn -- I'm not sure what people mean by "subsequent notes." I just use this one note for everything. I just mark NA under First Session, then everything else is the same.
Is there something I should be including on some other version of this form that you might make me aware of? I'm continually trying to modify/tweak my forms to make them better. -
Hi All - Thank you for continuing to contribute to this post.
Pamela - I’ve created a help request on your behalf so that a member of our team can investigate your note further. They’ll be reaching out to you with their findings over email.
Dawn - You'll want to use this template as a guide, or reference, to build a replica in your account. There isn't a way to upload another SimplePractice account's custom template to use as an electronic template in your account. If you fill it out outside of SimplePractice, you can attach it to a Progress Note as a PDF.
Here is more on How to use Progress Notes and Psychotherapy Notes in SimplePractice.
David - We do have a "Load Previous Note" function that you can use when entering subsequent notes. This will automatically transcribe the last session notes you had with the client onto the most recent note.

Hi Cheryl, there's no need to print your templates with SimplePractice - our EHR allows you to go completely paperless. To add a new Note Template, visit Settings > Notes and Forms and click +Add New Template. Then, you can replicate the Progress Note template that Nikki has shared here to use in your account. To use a Progress Note template, click the notebook icon on the Calendar appointment or visit the client's Overview page and click +Add Progress Note. You can then select your new template from the drop-down template menu. Let me know if you have any questions - I'm here to help.
