Review Timestamp Display for Medications and Allergies in SOAP Notes
Enable Review Timestamp Setting
View Review Timestamp in SOAP Components
Update Review Timestamp Through Review Activity
What’s New
- A new Review Timestamp setting is available under:
Settings > Practice > My Practice Settings > EHR > Include in SOAP Text. - The setting is disabled by default and applies to the entire practice.
- An information icon is displayed next to the setting, providing guidance on its functionality.
- When enabled, Medication and Allergy SOAP components display:
“Last Reviewed by [Provider Name] [Date]” at the bottom of the component. - The timestamp reflects the most recent review on record, even if it occurred before the current encounter.
- If a review is performed during the encounter, the timestamp updates automatically.
- If no review history exists, no timestamp is displayed.
- Practice localization settings are applied to displayed date and time values.
- Disabling the setting removes review timestamps from SOAP notes.
