SOAPware® v5.x
SOAPware is an Electronic Health Record designed for clinics. It is designed to evolve the practice and eventually replace paper charts*. SOAPware meets users where they are, on their own terms, by allowing them to continue using dictation and handwriting at the beginning, while still providing the capability to adapt and evolve into a fully digital system. It is most commonly used in practices of 1-10 doctors, but now can scale to several hundred. 80% of users are Family Physicians but more than 70 different specialty clinics are using it in thousands of clinics and in all 50 states. SOAPware, Inc. has been serving doctors since 1995. We provide robust tools to link to billing systems, hospitals, labs, etc.
Included Functionality
- Task List – A multi-user task management tool that allows users to create, edit, and assign tasks. Many SOAPware activities can create tasks automatically to smooth workflow. The Task List gives users office-wide electronic access to the information that used to be confined to sticky notes and bulletin boards. It even includes pop-up reminders to draw you attention to important notices.
- Enterprise-level Database – For data storage, SOAPware uses PostgreSQL , an open source database engine used in thousands of enterprise applications worldwide. With PostgreSQL, there are not artificial limitations on concurrent users or storage capacity, and a robust selection of 3rd party management tools keeps users in control of their data.
- Voice Recognition Integration – SOAPware® V5 now includes a direct integration to the Dragon Naturally Speaking 9 Medical Edition voice recognition software at no additional cost! Combined with SOAPware®, the Dragon NaturallySpeaking Medical program will enable you to be even more efficient than by using SOAPware® alone. In addition, the ability to drastically reduce transcription costs, and to be able to finish documentation more quickly will allow you to see more patients in less time.

- Customizable User Interface – All users are able to create and save customized screen layouts that meet their specific needs. Nurses, physicians, and staff can all have layouts tailored for their work style or individual preferences, showing only the sections they most commonly use. Layouts can also be designed to optimize the capabilities of systems with different displays, from large desktop monitors to multi-monitor systems to tablets.
- Patient Pictures – Each patient’s demographics can include a photo to assist in identification and decrease the potential for mistakes.
- Free or structured text entry – SOAPware’s groundbreaking SMARText interface allows users to create documentation using whatever amount of structure they prefer, from free text to highly-structured granular data and any combination in between. The choice between structured and unstructured data no longer has to be an either/or proposition!
- Lab/Radiology/Pathology Reports – Ancillary reports can be stored in a patient’s chart for quick review. The report categories can be customized to meet the unique needs of your clinic.
- Customizable codes/protocols/reports – SOAPware allows you to customize the appearance of codes, reports, and other printed material to match your needs and style.
- Simple Pricing – SOAPware is licensed per practitioner, not per user or per computer as many systems are, so there are no complex licensing schemes or limits places on the size or your staff or how many computers you can install SOAPware on.
- Phone messages – The details of telephone correspondence with patients can be stored in the patient’s chart for retrieval and review later.
- Online library – Using SOAPware’s online library, you can collaborate with thousands of other SOAPware users to produce and share customized codes and reports. The online library provides immediate access to an ever-growing repository of useful customizations.

- Dynamic online help – The context-sensitive help system in SOAPware provides the assistance you need when and where you need it. A quick keystroke can take you to SOAPware’s help file or to training videos related to your current activity.
- Unequaled Usability - A simple measure of usability is the number of steps and amount of time necessary to perform the most common tasks. SOAPware has been shaped by over 10 years of feedback from tens of thousands of users, all with the goal of optimizing workflow for what doctors and their staffs actually need to do, not what someone else thinks they need to do.
- Unlimited Potential - SOAPware's capabilities extend far beyond its core functionality. Through add-on modules, SOAPware can be expanded to meet the particular needs of your clinic as well as the future needs of the medical profession. From unparalleled document management to clinical knowledge and decision support, SOAPware can evolve and adapt to answer whatever challenges you may encounter.
