# SOAP notes software for longevity clinics Source: https://www.longevityehr.com/clinical-notes Write Subjective, Objective, Assessment and Plan in the same chart as labs, biomarkers and care plans. Sign when it's final, correct it with a linked amendment and decide, note by note, what the patient can read. ## Four sections, in the order clinicians write. The note explains why the numbers changed. In longevity care, a note is where a provider records why a plan changed: what the last panel showed, what the patient reported and what happens next. In LongevityEHR the body of every note is four structured fields, not one free-text box, and it lives in the chart a click away from the patient's [biomarker trends](https://www.longevityehr.com/biomarker-tracking) and [care plan](https://www.longevityehr.com/care-plans). ## Draft, sign, amend The note lifecycle Three stages, each with its own rules, so everyone in the clinic knows what a note means and a draft never passes for a final record. ### Draft A draft is visible only to its author, who can edit it or discard it. An unfinished thought never reads as clinical fact to the rest of the team. ### Sign Signing makes the note final. The note records its author and when it was signed, and from that moment it is never edited or deleted. ### Amend A correction is a new note linked to the one it corrects, and the original shows that it was amended. The history stays readable instead of piling up as unconnected notes. ## You choose which notes the patient reads Patient visibility Sharing a note is a deliberate choice. The clinic owner sets a default for newly signed notes, and until the clinic sets one, notes stay private. The provider can override that default for a single note when signing it. Visible notes appear in the patient's My Notes section of your [white-label patient portal](https://www.longevityehr.com/white-label-patient-portal). Drafts never reach the patient. - A note signed as private can be made visible later from the notes list. - Once a note is visible it stays visible, so patients never see a note disappear. - An amendment always follows its original: a correction to a shared note is shared, and a correction to a private note stays private. A draft stays with its author, and a signed note is never edited or deleted. ## Clinical documentation you can stand behind Notes are part of the patient's clinical record, so the record keeps every version of the story. ### Signed means final Each signed note carries its author and signing time, and no one can edit it afterward. ### Nothing destroyed Signed notes are never deleted. Corrections add to the record instead of overwriting it. ### Amendments stay linked Every correction points back to the note it corrects, and the original shows that it was amended. ### Audit trail Every read of and change to patient data is recorded: who, which patient and when.

It is not available today. Today your providers write every note, and they will still sign every note when the [AI scribe](https://www.longevityehr.com/ai-scribe) ships. ## Frequently asked questions ### What is SOAP notes software? Software for clinical documentation in the SOAP format: Subjective, Objective, Assessment and Plan. In LongevityEHR those notes live in the patient's chart next to labs, biomarkers and care plans. ### Can a signed clinical note be edited? No. A signed note is final. To correct it, a provider writes an amendment that links back to the original, and the original shows that it was amended. ### Can patients see their clinical notes? Only the notes your clinic chooses to share. The clinic sets a default, the provider can override it when signing, and visible notes appear in the patient's portal. ### Can a clinical note be deleted? The author can discard a draft. A signed note is never deleted, because it is part of the patient's clinical record. ### Is LongevityEHR just clinical notes software? No. Clinical notes are one part of a standalone EHR that also holds lab results, biomarker trends, care plans, forms, scheduling, payments and the patient portal. ### Does LongevityEHR have an AI scribe? Not yet. An [AI scribe](https://www.longevityehr.com/ai-scribe) that drafts visit notes for provider review is on the roadmap. Today notes are written by your providers.
