Which type of medical record documentation template is organized by the entity that supplied the data?

  1. Problem-oriented

  2. Subjective, Objective, Assessment, Plan (SOAP)

  3. Chronological

  4. Source-oriented

The correct answer is: Source-oriented

Source-oriented medical record documentation templates are organized by the entity that supplied the data. This means that the data and information in the medical record are grouped according to the specific sources, such as laboratory tests, imaging results, or specialists’ notes. This type of template can make it easier for healthcare providers to retrieve relevant information quickly. On the other hand, problem-oriented templates (A) focus on organizing information according to specific health problems or diseases. SOAP templates (B) organize information into subjective, objective, assessment, and plan sections, while chronological templates (C) simply arrange information in chronological order.
