Prompt
Generate a SOAP note template for a {{visit_type}} visit.

**Specialty:** {{specialty}} (e.g., primary care, orthopedics, psychiatry)
**Common presentation:** {{presentation}} (e.g., "acute low back pain", "medication follow-up")

Provide a template with:
**S (Subjective):** Key questions to document (chief complaint, HPI elements, ROS)
**O (Objective):** Relevant exam findings and vitals to capture
**A (Assessment):** Format for differential diagnosis and clinical reasoning
**P (Plan):** Structure for treatment, follow-up, and patient instructions

Use [brackets] for fields the clinician fills in. Include prompts/reminders for commonly missed documentation elements.

This is a TEMPLATE only — no actual patient data. For use as a documentation aid, not a clinical decision tool.

Variables to customize

{{visit_type}}{{specialty}}{{presentation}}
