SOAP is a medical acronym used to remember and organize patient notes; it stands for Subjective, Objective, Assessment, and Plan. Accurate patient field notes help focus the rescuer and increase patient care both in the field and once the patient reaches definitive care. Patient notes are admissible in a court of law and verify your field assessment and treatment. They may offer increased legal protection to both the rescuers and their organizations.
