A physical therapist struggles with time-consuming SOAP note documentation due to a blank template, needing to balance thoroughness and efficiency to reclaim personal time.

Existing solutions are either too simplistic (checkbox systems for same-day evals) or too open-ended (blank templates), lacking a middle ground that guides thorough yet efficient documentation for outpatient PT.
