AB  - The  Problem  or  Diagnosis  is  the  first  section  of  the  SOAP  Note.  While  learning  how  to  write  in  the  SOAP  Note  format,  you  will  notice  you  are  using  the  same  information  that  you  used  to  write  in  the  Patient/Client  Management  Note  format.  However,  in  the  SOAP  Note  format  you  are  organizing  according  to  the  source  of  the  information  instead  of  the  type  of  information  as  you  did  in  the  Patient  Management  Note  format.  The  American  Physical  Therapy  Association  has  expressed  a  concern  that  many  therapists  have  developed  bad  habits  using  the  SOAP  format.1  Either  note  format  can  represent  best  practice  in  documentation  as  long  as  the  components  of  the  patient  management  model  are  represented.
