TAPTYPE® is a dynamic online tool used to create customized, full S.O.A.P notes according to each clinical visit’s needs while showcasing your note output as you progress in real-time.
TAPTYPE is a powerful tool made by physicians for physicians, empowering them to document all their patients’ encounters, including history taking, physical examination, ordered laboratory tests and scans, and treatment plans by simply tapping the built-in medical categories, responses, and more.
TAPTYPE® is not a template; it works with every EMR with no integration required & all this with just tapping. No typing is needed at all!
The purpose of this video is to help you better understand TAPTYPE by showing you what it is made of & how to use it for your note documentation.
TAPTYPE® is equipped with 15,000+ medical questions covering all the symptoms, examination questions & tests that may be needed throughout your patient’s visit.
You can start your note in multiple ways; first, by selecting the medical case that the patient complains from. Let’s say “Asthma,” for example, so you go to the Respiratory system, view all cases under it & select “Asthma.”
If “Asthma” is a common case that you usually use, you can add it to your customized “Common Cases” section for future use.
The second method for starting your note is selecting “Show all questions from a specific system” related to the patient’s complaint. You may need this method if your patient has vague symptoms that don’t match a clear medical case.
Afterward, TAPTYPE will showcase a list of related guiding questions you usually ask with their built-in answers. By tapping the answers and based on the option you tap, there may be a consequent further dependent set of questions appearing to answer.
Questions related to each other, like “Vital Signs” or a set of questions representing an examination test like “Cardiovascular Auscultation,” will be gathered together as groups represented in an accordion style that you can open/close for easier navigation.
You are free to skip questions you don’t need; they simply won’t appear in your note.
At any stage of your note, you can add as many Subjective/Objective questions as you may need from the “Add question from other systems.”
You can select multiple questions from different systems at the same time & add them to your note with one click.
Newly added questions will be appended at the end of your current note, where you can navigate from the “Outline” dragger to overview all questions in the current section & reach designated questions in no time.
For Objective questions, you can set the ones you don’t want to examine as “Set as Not Examined”; this will appear in both your Note “Outline” & Note “Output.”
You can also set all questions to “Set as Normal.” This will automatically mark all the normal answers for you without tapping them.
You can still change the questions you find abnormal. All this will appear in both your Note “Outline” & Note “Output.”
As you answer your questions, you can view your note Output & see how TAPTYPE documents your patient’s responses along the way in the same order you answered with. In your note output, abnormal answers are represented in equivalent detailed red color output text, while normal answers are represented in black color.
TAPTYPE saves your note automatically, so you don’t need to worry about any accidents or power outages.
Finally, moving to assessments & treatment plans, you can select from the suggested diagnosis list or select to add from a wide range of diagnoses sorted alphabetically for easy navigation.
You can select what education info you’d like to add in your note, or group of medicines, select orders by category specifying the location & indication for the order, office procedures and follow-up for the following visit.
