Preview template
Subjective
CC: Follow up Patient engaged via telephone visit. Patient understands the limitations of a telephone visit and the inherent risk of not examining the patient. Patient understands that I can request a face-to-face encounter if I feel it is necessary for a satisfactory evaluation of the presenting condition. [List each medical problem as a clear heading (e.g., “Incontinence”), with a blank line between problems. Under each heading, write each detail on its own line without bullets, numbers, or paragraph formatting. Each line should be short and direct, using clinical language or patient quotes when appropriate. Include information such as: recent visits with providers, test or treatment status, medication pickup issues, symptom updates, patient limitations or barriers (e.g., fatigue, transportation), and follow-up gaps. Preserve patient quotes in quotation marks. Do not rephrase or summarize in full sentences. Do not group or combine multiple ideas into one line. Maintain the original structure: one line per point, grouped by condition, with spacing between sections.]

Objective
Physical exam deferred due to limitations/nature of telephone visit. [Provide a fixed description of the patient’s presentation during the call, such as: “Patient speaking in clear full sentences. Pleasant and cooperative; no confusion noted during conversation; answering questions appropriately.”] [List diagnostic tests in reverse chronological order. Each entry should begin with the test name and full date (Month Day, Year), followed by line-separated findings. Use dashes to start each line of findings. Keep medical terminology, acronyms, and values exactly as provided (e.g., BI-RADS B, AHI 53.6). Use lowercase for descriptive phrases unless part of a proper name or acronym. Do not use bullet points or numbers—only line breaks and dashes. Maintain this structure across all tests. The formatting and phrasing must remain consistent, clinical, and easy to scan in a medical record. This template serves as a formatting reference only; it should not include patient-specific data.] Laboratory results: [For each lab test, provide the test name, result value, unit of measurement, and date of the test in the format (DD-MMM-YYYY). Ensure the results are organized in a list format, maintaining the order and structure as presented in the original content. Include all relevant tests such as Urine Creatinine, WBC, RBC, Hemoglobin, Hematocrit, MCV, MCH, MCHC, RDW, Platelet Count, Neutrophils, Lymphocytes, Monocytes, Eosinophils, Basophils, Granulocytes Immature, Urine ACR, Vitamin B12, Glucose Fasting, Alanine Aminotransferase, Aspartate Aminotransferase, Cholesterol, LDL Cholesterol, HDL Cholesterol, Chol/HDL (Risk Ratio), Non HDL Cholesterol, Triglycerides, TSH, Sodium, Potassium, Creatinine, Estimated GFR, and Ferritin.]

Assessment
[For each medical condition, write it as a numbered item starting with a digit, followed by a period and a space. Then write the condition name in title case (capitalize major words). Immediately after the condition name, include the brief context or status in parentheses, using simple phrasing pulled directly from the note (e.g., “followed by the incontinence clinic”, “wanting a new referral”). Do not rephrase, summarize, or formalize the language. Do not expand terms or add medical interpretation. Each item must be a single line. Do not use dashes, bullet points, indentation, or paragraph formatting. Maintain this exact format: 1. Condition Name (brief context) 2. Condition Name (brief context) 3. Condition Name (brief context) Repeat this format for all conditions. Keep the phrasing short and source-accurate.]

PLAN
[Write the Plan section as a set of structured blocks. Each block begins with a medical problem written exactly as it appears in the Assessment section. The problem name must be on its own line with no punctuation, no colons, no numbering, no bolding, and no additional text. Leave a blank line above and below each problem name. Under each problem name, list all associated plan items. Each plan item must be on its own line, and each line must begin with a dash (-). Do not combine multiple ideas into one plan item. Keep each dash-line short and focused on a single action, instruction, or fact. If a plan item contains multiple details such as lists of symptoms, treatment elements, or related causes, include those as separate lines beneath the main dash-line, and begin each of these sub-lines with a bullet symbol (•). Sub-lines must be indented with one space after the dash line they belong to. Bullet points must never appear outside of this specific structure. Do not combine items into polished sentences. Do not merge multiple thoughts into a single line. Do not use colons after problem names. Do not convert any part of the output into narrative or paragraph form. Patient quotes, abbreviations, and informal phrasing must be preserved exactly as they appear. The output should be formatted for direct copy-paste into a clinical chart with no reformatting required. Do not deviate from this format for any reason.]
