DAP is shorter than SOAP when the chart does not split subjective from objective. Data holds what the client said and what you saw. Assessment is how you understood this session from that data. Interventions record the method you used. Plan is what happens next.
The template here is those four headings, filled from shorthand you review after redaction. Empty claims are not added. If the shorthand does not mention a symptom, the draft should not invent one. You still edit it.
Use a client code. The same account can also draft SOAP, BIRP, and GIRP notes, and a treatment plan once you unlock plans. Screening scores stay free.
