Progress note

The daily round note: overnight events, today's findings and the updated plan, written the same way every day.

About the progress note

The progress note is the note written most often on an inpatient round: one per patient, per day, until discharge. It answers the same five questions every time, in the same order, so a reader flicking back through the stay can follow the trend without re-reading the whole chart. The shape below is the same one used in the worked example on the main template library page.

The daily inpatient note: overnight events, symptoms today, examination, new results, impression and an updated plan.

The template, filled in.

The section headings below are the shape this template lays down. The content is a synthetic worked example, not a real patient, so you can see what a filled document looks like before you sign up.

Every template passes the clinical board before release. A template controls the shape of a document, nothing more: the impression and the plan are yours, and no document built from it is filed, sent or billed until you sign.

Your paperwork, in your shape.

Start the trial, bring a typical list, and the progress note is shaped to your round before you sign your first one. See the full template set, or how the whole product works on the product page.
