TherapyFuel can help clinicians generate SOAP fields in Progress Notes. To generate a note, TherapyFuel must be enabled for your practice. Once enabled, TherapyFuel will be turned on when creating a new Progress Note.
Using TherapyFuel
At the top of a new Progress Note, a banner displays a Use TherapyFuel toggle:
- On: TherapyFuel generates SOAP fields based on your inputs.
- Off: Hides the Treatment Approach and Session Summary fields, disables SOAP field toggles and removes the TherapyFuel banner at the bottom. You’ll need to manually write your Progress Note.
Required Inputs for Your Progress Note
If TherapyFuel is enabled, enter the treatment approach, a brief session summary, and various note fields such as risk assessment and interventions.
1. Treatment Approach
- Select a suggested value or search by name.
- If not listed, enter the approach manually.
For example, a client experiencing difficulty with finding an alternative thought in cognitive reframing interventions from a CBT perspective may be able to find an option through the Gestalt empty chair technique.
-
Session Summary
- Enter at least 2-3 sentences summarizing the session.
- Include key details:
- What was discussed?
- How did the patient respond?
- Are they improving?
- Perfect grammar isn’t necessary—clarity matters most.
Example: "The client attended their scheduled therapy session and discussed recent stressors related to work and family dynamics. They reported increased anxiety but is utilizing grounding techniques with some success. We reviewed coping strategies, and they identified setting clearer boundaries as a key focus for the next week. The session concluded with a plan to track triggers and practice mindfulness exercises. No safety concerns reported."
