Editorial Process & Content Standards

Last Updated: May 2026

SOAPNoteAI publishes practical, specialty-specific guides on clinical documentation. This page explains how we research, write, and maintain them, and the sources and standards they are based on.

Who writes our content

Our guides are produced by the SOAPNoteAI Editorial Team. We research each topic against published clinical practice guidelines and professional standards before writing, and we cite those sources within each guide.

How content is researched

We base our documentation guidance on authoritative, primary sources, including:

• Specialty society clinical practice guidelines (e.g., ACC/AHA, ADA, APTA, AAFP)
• CMS and Medicare documentation and billing guidance (E/M, CPT, ICD-10)
• Federal and professional standards relevant to the topic (e.g., HIPAA, 42 CFR Part 2)
• Established documentation frameworks (SOAP, DAP, BIRP)

How we check accuracy

Before publishing, each guide is checked against the current clinical practice guidelines and the authoritative sources cited in the article. Our goal is documentation guidance that reflects accepted standards of practice.

How we keep content current

Guidelines and coding rules change, so our guides are reviewed and updated on a recurring basis. Each guide displays a “Published” and/or “Updated” date so you can see when it was last revised.

Accuracy and corrections

We aim to be accurate and up to date, but our content is for educational purposes only and does not replace professional medical judgment, current clinical guidelines, or your institution’s policies. If you spot an error or have feedback, email support@soapnoteai.com and we will review it.
