Module 4: Advanced Applications
Tackle complex cases, procedure notes, and diagnostic reasoning
Welcome to Module 4!
You’ve mastered the basics and learned to refine output. Now it’s time for the heavy lifting.
In this module, we’ll handle Complex Cases that require more than just a simple summary. We’ll look at multi-system disease, legal-heavy procedure notes, and showing your clinical work.
Learning Objectives
- Document complex multi-system patients
- Create detailed procedure notes
- Show diagnostic reasoning (Differential Diagnosis)
Lesson 1: The Complex Patient
A simple SOAP note works for a sore throat. It fails for a patient with CHF, CKD, and Diabetes who is admitted for volume overload.
You need Problem-Oriented Charting.
Exercise 4.1: Multi-System Documentation
Exercise 4.1: Complex Multi-System Case

Lesson 2: Procedure Notes
Procedure notes are legal documents. If you didn’t document the consent, it didn’t happen. If you didn’t document the timeout, you’re liable.
Templates are critical here.
Exercise 4.2: The Procedure Note
Exercise 4.2: Procedure Documentation
Your Challenge

Lesson 3: Diagnostic Reasoning
The “Assessment” section shouldn’t just be a diagnosis. It should show why you think that.
Exercise 4.3: Differential Diagnosis
Exercise 4.3: Differential Diagnosis
Your Challenge
Generate a note that explicitly lists the Differential Diagnosis and explains why you ruled out other causes.
