Schedulicity does have SOAP notes 📣

Giving businesses a way to document sessions with patients to help assess and diagnose treatment plans on a continued basis. A few things to keep in mind as you dive in:

  • SOAP notes are available for no extra charge with the Unlimited Plan

  • SOAP notes are accessed via our full website, and coming soon to our Business App

  • SOAP notes are available for service based appointments

  • SOAP notes can be accessed via a client's appointment session or a list of all SOAP notes via the client's profile

  • SOAP notes cannot be accessed by all providers unless given access by the account administrator

    ❗ While we take security very seriously and SOAP notes are encrypted and require admin access, Schedulicity is not HIPAA/PIPEDA compliant

    ❗Please note: SOAP notes cannot be retrieved if deleted. These are encrypted in our system for security for you and your clients' privacy. Only the Admin and Providers with access can read them. With that, if they are deleted we have no way to retrieve them.
